Von Duprin 1609-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Von Duprin 1609 strike do on a pair of doors?
The 1609 is an overlapping double door strike that mounts on the inactive leaf of a pair, so the active leaf's exit device latches into it instead of into a mullion or a frame strike. Because the strike rides on the inactive door, the two leaves have to close in the right order, which is why a door coordinator is part of the assembly. Strike face measures 1-1/16 by 3-1/4 inches.
2) Can I use the Von Duprin 1609 double door strike on a fire rated opening?
No. The 1609 is for panic exit applications only and is not fire rated, so it does not belong on a labeled fire door pair. If your opening carries a fire label, you need fire exit hardware and a strike arrangement listed for that assembly, typically a removable mullion setup rather than an overlapping strike on the inactive leaf.
3) Which Von Duprin exit devices does the 1609 strike work with?
The 1609 is made for Von Duprin 22, 33A/35A, 55, 88, and 98/99 Series exit devices. That covers both the rim and vertical rod versions of those series, since the strike is listed for rim strike and vertical rod strike applications. If your device is one of those series and the pair has no mullion, this is the strike that catches the active leaf latch.
4) Do I need a door coordinator with the 1609 overlapping strike, or can I skip it?
You need one. With an overlapping strike the inactive leaf has to close first, otherwise the active leaf lands on top of the strike and the pair never latches. The coordinator enforces that sequence. Budget for it as a separate item on the order; it is not supplied with the strike.
5) I'm replacing a damaged strike on the inactive leaf of a double door with Von Duprin 99 devices. Is the 1609 the right part?
Yes, if the existing arrangement is an overlapping strike on the inactive leaf and not a mullion. The 1609 is the overlapping double door strike for the 98/99 Series, and it also covers 22, 33A/35A, 55 and 88. Confirm your existing plate measures about 1-1/16 by 3-1/4 inches and that a coordinator is on the pair, since the 1609 assembly depends on one.
6) Overlapping strike or removable mullion for a pair of doors with panic hardware?
Two different answers to the same problem. An overlapping strike like the 1609 keeps the opening clear, both leaves swing free, and nothing has to be pulled to move wide equipment through. The trade is the coordinator and the closing sequence it depends on, and this route is panic only, not fire rated. A removable mullion puts a vertical post between the leaves for the rim device to latch into, needs no coordinator, and is the path when the pair is a labeled fire opening. Pick the mullion for fire rated pairs, the 1609 for a clear panic opening.
7) Will the 1609 strike fit on a narrow stile aluminum door?
The strike body measures 1-1/16 by 3-1/4 inches, so the mounting face is just over an inch across the leaf. Measure the flat of your inactive leaf at the latch height before ordering. The bigger question on aluminum storefront pairs is the device itself, since the 22, 33A/35A, 55, 88 and 98/99 Series it serves are hollow metal and wood door devices rather than narrow stile hardware.
8) Can the 1609 be used with a vertical rod exit device, or only a rim device?
Both. It is listed for rim strike and vertical rod strike applications, so it works whether the active leaf carries a rim device latching horizontally into the inactive leaf or a vertical rod device in the covered series. What it does not do is change the fire rating question: the 1609 is panic only.
9) What finishes does the Von Duprin 1609 strike come in?
Two finishes: 622/US19 matte black and 626/US26D satin chrome. For a building already standardized on 626 exit hardware, the satin chrome matches; 622 is the choice where the devices and pulls are painted black.
