Von Duprin 109362 SP28 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Von Duprin 109362 bottom vertical rod actually fit?
The 109362 is the bottom vertical rod for the Von Duprin 22 Series 2227 surface vertical rod exit device. It is the rod that runs from the pushbar down to the bottom latch, so it only belongs on a 2227 device. It won't serve a 2227 that has been ordered less bottom rod, and it isn't a part for the 2201 rim or 2227 top rod position.
2) Can I use the Von Duprin 109362 rod on a fire rated exit device opening?
No. The 109362 bottom rod is a non fire rated part, and fire rated vertical rod openings are built less bottom rod with fire pins in the top latch. If the opening carries a fire label, source the fire rated 22 Series component for that device instead of this rod.
3) My bottom latch on a Von Duprin 2227 stopped catching the threshold strike. Is the rod the part I need?
Usually yes if the pushbar depresses fully and nothing moves at the floor, or if the rod is visibly bent from a door being kicked or a cart strike. The 109362 bottom rod is the mechanical link between the pushbar and the bottom latch, so a bent, sheared, or disconnected rod kills bottom latching while the top continues to work. If the top latch is also failing, the fault is upstream in the device, not in this rod.
4) Can a Falcon 610061 vertical rod be used in place of a Von Duprin 2227 bottom rod?
No. The Falcon 610061 is a 24 Series Monarch concealed vertical TOP rod for F-25-C and F-25-CWDC exit devices, so it is both a top-of-door part and a different device platform. The Von Duprin 109362 is the bottom vertical rod for the 22 Series 2227 device, driving the latch at the bottom of the door. Top and bottom rods are not interchangeable positions, and rods are cut and dimensioned to their own device family, so a 22 Series 2227 repair takes the Von Duprin bottom rod.
5) Which finish do I order for a Von Duprin 22 Series bottom vertical rod so it matches the device already on the door?
Two finishes are made for the 109362 bottom rod: 628 aluminum and 695 dark bronze. Match the finish stamped on the existing 2227 device rather than the door frame, since the rod runs exposed on the face of the door and a mismatch reads immediately in a lobby or corridor. Aluminum storefront openings almost always take 628; dark bronze storefronts take 695.
6) Do I need to cut the Von Duprin 22 Series bottom rod to length for my door height?
Vertical rod devices are sized to the door, and the bottom rod is the piece that takes up the difference between the pushbar and the threshold. Measure the existing rod before it goes in the bin, and check the door height and prep against the Von Duprin 22 Series door template index for hollow metal or wood doors, which is where the rod and strike locations for the opening are dimensioned.
7) I have a pair of doors with no mullion and the bottom rods keep getting damaged. What are my options besides replacing the rod again?
Surface vertical rod devices like the 2227 latch at the head and the threshold, which is what lets a pair of doors secure without a center mullion, but it also puts the bottom rod in the path of carts, mops, and kicks. If that door pair takes abuse, the alternative is to convert to rim devices on a removable mullion, which moves all the latching to the center post and takes the hardware off the floor entirely. Falcon's 4023 steel mullion is a removable mullion for double door exit device applications, and the Falcon 525 aluminum mullion stabilizers go with that approach.
8) Will replacing the bottom rod on a Von Duprin 2227 require re-prepping the door or frame?
No new door prep is needed when you are swapping a like for like bottom rod into an existing 2227, since the rod mounts to the prep already in the door. If the bottom strike at the threshold is worn or was never right, the 22 Series trims and strikes template index covers strike locations for hollow metal and for wood doors, and that is what to work from before drilling anything.
9) What is the difference between an exit device bottom vertical rod and a top latch replacement part?
They sit at opposite ends of the door and do different jobs. The Von Duprin 109362 bottom vertical rod carries the motion from the 22 Series 2227 device down to the bottom latch point so the door releases at the sill during egress. A top latch component such as the Accentra 60-7010-0049-999, made for 7110 and 7120 exit devices, is the latching mechanism at the head of the frame. If the door is failing to release or latch at the floor, the bottom rod is the part in question; a top latch will not address it, and the Accentra parts belong to a different device series entirely.
10) Is there a way to avoid vertical rods on a pair of doors instead of replacing the bottom rod?
Yes, on a double-door opening the common alternative to vertical rod devices is a removable mullion with rim devices. The Falcon 4023 is a steel mullion for double door exit device applications, and the Falcon 525 aluminum mullion stabilizers are exit device accessories used with mullion setups. Going that route means changing the devices on both leaves and losing the clear opening when the mullion is in place, so it is a conversion rather than a repair. If the existing 22 Series 2227 vertical rod devices are staying, the Von Duprin 109362 bottom rod keeps the opening as built.
11) My exit device will not latch - do I need a bottom vertical rod or a deadlatch?
It depends on which device is on the door. A deadlatch such as the Falcon 23981160, a T Series 2-3/8 inch square corner deadlatch part, is the latch body itself in a T Series device and has no rod. The Von Duprin 109362 is a rod, not a latch: it is the linkage in a 22 Series 2227 vertical rod device that transmits the push bar motion down to the bottom latch point. Identify the device series on the door first - a T Series latching fault and a 22 Series bottom rod fault are separate parts and separate repairs.
12) Is a Von Duprin 22 Series rod heavy duty enough for a high traffic school or hospital exit?
The 109362 rod is a Grade 1 commercial part, which is the top ANSI/BHMA durability tier for exit hardware and the level specified for schools, hospitals, and other high cycle egress doors. It is a commercial part, not a residential one.
13) Is the Von Duprin 109362 a genuine Von Duprin part or an aftermarket rod?
It is a genuine Von Duprin component for the 22 Series 2227, not an aftermarket copy. For property managers standardizing a building on 22 Series hardware, that matters: OEM rods keep every 2227 opening on the same parts list, so the maintenance stock for one door covers the rest.
14) Is the Von Duprin 109362 bottom rod a fire-rated part, and how does that compare to other exit device replacement components?
The Von Duprin 109362 is a Grade 1 commercial part and is not fire rated. Among comparable exit device replacement components, the Accentra 60-7010-0050-999 top latch for 7110F devices is also carried as not fire rated. For a labeled opening, the fire rating belongs to the complete listed device and door assembly, so match the replacement to the exact device model already installed and confirm the assembly listing rather than substituting across series.
15) Will an Arrow 16RCR-27 rim housing work with a 22 Series vertical rod device?
No. The Arrow 16RCR-27 is a 6/7-pin SFIC rim housing in the 24/25 Series, a cylinder housing for keyed control of a rim-type device. The Von Duprin 109362 is a mechanical bottom vertical rod for the 22 Series 2227 device and has nothing to do with keying or cylinders. If the complaint is that the key will not retract the latch, that is a cylinder and trim question; if the bottom latch is not moving with the push bar, the bottom rod is the part.
