Von Duprin VON - 283 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Von Duprin 283 top strike actually do, and do I need one?
The 283 is the top strike for a vertical rod exit device: it's the piece mounted in the head of the frame that the top latch of the rod device engages. It isn't the exit device and it isn't the bottom strike. You need one whenever a surface vertical rod device latches at the head, and the 283 in particular is the version made for wood frames rather than hollow metal.
2) Will the Von Duprin 283 strike work with a 33A or 98 series exit device?
Yes. The 283 is made for Von Duprin 33A, 35A, 98, and 9947WDC devices. If you're running a surface vertical rod from any of those families into a wood frame, this is the matching top strike. A device outside those four families is not a pairing the 283 covers.
3) Can I use the 283 top strike on a hollow metal frame?
No. The 283 is the wood frame version. On a hollow metal frame you want the top strike Von Duprin specifies for metal frames instead, so the fastening pattern and the frame prep line up. Ordering the wood frame strike for a steel opening leaves you with anchors that have nothing to bite into.
4) What finish does the Von Duprin 283 top strike come in?
One finish only: 693, Black Painted. There's no other finish option on the 283, so if the rest of the opening is in a plated finish like 626 satin chrome, the strike at the head will read black. On most installs the strike sits up in the frame soffit where it isn't a visual issue, but it's worth knowing before it lands on a job with an architect watching the finish schedule.
5) I'm replacing a damaged top strike on a Von Duprin 9947 wood door opening. Is the 283 the right part to order?
If the device is a 9947WDC in a wood frame, yes, the 283 is the top strike for it. Confirm the device family stamped on the existing hardware first, since the 283 covers 33A, 35A, 98, and 9947WDC and no others. A rod device in a metal frame takes a different strike even if the device family matches.
6) Does the Von Duprin 283 include the exit device or the rods?
No, the 283 is the top strike on its own. The exit device, the vertical rods, and the bottom strike or floor strike are all ordered separately. If you're building a complete vertical rod opening from scratch, budget the device and the strike as two line items.
