Von Duprin 248L-4 Vertical Rod Bottom Strike for Standard Panic Hardware Configurations

Commercial-Grade Surface-Mounted Floor Strike for Vertical Rod Exit Devices

The Von Duprin 248L-4 is a commercial-grade, surface-mounted vertical rod bottom strike engineered to optimize the latching performance of vertical rod exit devices on standard openings. Designed specifically for flat threshold or finished floor applications, this strike features a low-profile 3/8" (10 mm) projection that ensures reliable bottom-bolt engagement without creating an excessive trip hazard. Fabricated from heavy-gauge architectural metal, the 248L-4 is compatible with a wide range of Von Duprin vertical rod series including the 2227, 3327A, 3527A, 9827, 9927, 9857, and 9957, making it the factory-default non-fire-rated panic strike for standard panic hardware configurations.

Von Duprin 248L-4 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which Von Duprin exit devices does the 248L-4 bottom strike work with?
The 248L-4 is the surface-mounted bottom strike for Von Duprin surface vertical rod devices in the 2227, 3327A, 3527A, 9827, 9927, 9857, and 9957 series. It is the factory-default non-fire-rated strike for standard panic hardware configurations on those devices, so if you are replacing a damaged floor strike under one of those series you are ordering the right part.
2) Can I use the Von Duprin 248L-4 floor strike on a fire rated door opening?
No. The 248L-4 is the standard panic strike, supplied as the non-fire-rated bottom strike for standard panic hardware. For a fire rated pair you need the fire-rated strike specified for that device, since fire exit hardware uses a different bottom latching arrangement. Check the device series designation on the door before ordering.
3) How much does the 248L-4 bottom strike stick up off the floor?
Projection is 3/8 inch (10 mm). That is a low enough profile to sit at a flat threshold or on finished floor without creating a significant trip point, while still giving the bottom rod something solid to latch into.
4) Will this strike work with a raised or ramped threshold, or does the floor need to be flat?
The 248L-4 is shaped for flat thresholds and finished floors. It surface mounts flush against that surface, and the bottom bolt drops the 3/8 inch into it. On a sloped, raised, or saddle threshold the geometry will not sit flush and the bolt engagement will be off, so measure the opening before you order.
5) I ordered a part listed as 030602-00 from Von Duprin. Is that the same as the 248L-4?
Same part. The 248L-4 bottom strike also carries the factory ID 030602-00, which shows up on manufacturer parts orders and packing slips. If your paperwork lists either designation, you are looking at the same standard panic bottom strike.
6) Do I need to order a top strike separately for a vertical rod exit device?
Yes. The 248L-4 covers the bottom only. A surface vertical rod device latches at both the head and the floor, so the top strike that mounts in the frame head is a separate component from this floor strike. If both ends of your opening are damaged, order the head strike for your specific device series as well.
7) Can I standardize on the 248L-4 across all the vertical rod doors in my building?
Across the non-fire-rated openings, yes, provided the devices are in the 2227, 3327A, 3527A, 9827, 9927, 9857, or 9957 families and the floors are flat. Fire rated openings are the exception and need their own strike. For a property manager keeping spares on the shelf, one part number covers a lot of doors here.
8) Is this floor strike tough enough for a high-traffic entrance that gets carts and foot traffic over it?
It is built for exactly that. The 248L-4 is fabricated from heavy-gauge architectural metal to take repeated bolt contact, foot traffic, and heavy door impact, and it is the strike Von Duprin supplies on commercial openings in schools, hospitals, offices, retail, and government buildings. Being surface mounted, it also comes off and gets replaced without floor work when it eventually wears.
