Von Duprin 50519 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Von Duprin 050519 top rod kit work on an 8 foot door?
Yes. The 050519 adjustable top rod kit covers door heights from 6 feet 8 inches up to 8 feet 4 inches, so an 8 foot leaf falls inside the range. That is the point of the kit: rather than ordering a fixed rod cut to one height, you adjust the top rod on site to the opening you actually have. Anything taller than 8 feet 4 inches is outside what this kit covers.
2) Does the Von Duprin 050519 rod kit fit 33 and 35 Series exit devices?
The 050519 is built for Von Duprin 33 and 35 Series vertical rod exit devices, including the 33/35 47A and 48A configurations. It is a top rod only, so it serves the head-latching half of a surface vertical rod device. It is not a part for rim or mortise exit devices, and it is not intended for other Von Duprin series.
3) Can I use the Von Duprin 050519 adjustable top rod on a fire rated exit device?
No. The 050519 top rod kit carries no fire rating, so it should not be used to service a fire rated vertical rod opening. Fire labeled exit devices have to be repaired with fire rated components to keep the label valid. For a fire rated opening, source the fire rated top rod specified for that device instead.
4) My exit device is not latching at the top of the door. Do I need a new device or just a rod?
If the bottom rod still latches and the panic bar operates normally, the top rod assembly is usually what has failed or drifted out of adjustment. On a Von Duprin 33 or 35 Series device the 050519 adjustable top rod kit replaces that assembly and lets you reset the engagement at the head strike without pulling the whole device. Replace the device only if the chassis or bar itself is damaged.
5) What is the Falcon equivalent of the Von Duprin 050519 top rod?
On the Von Duprin side, the 050519 is the adjustable top rod kit for 33 and 35 Series exit devices, covering door heights from 6 feet 8 inches to 8 feet 4 inches. The closest cross-brand counterpart is the Falcon 610061, a 24 Series Monarch concealed vertical top rod made for F-25-C and F-25-CWDC exit devices. Both are the upper vertical rod in a concealed vertical rod exit device, but they are keyed to different device families: the 050519 goes into a Von Duprin 33 or 35 chassis, and the 610061 goes into a Falcon F-25-C or F-25-CWDC. Confirm the device stamped on the door before ordering either, because the rod is not interchangeable between the two families.
6) Is an Accentra top latch replacement the same thing as a Von Duprin adjustable top rod?
No. The Accentra 60-7010-0049-999 is a top latch replacement component for 7110 and 7120 exit devices, and the Accentra 60-7010-0050-999 is the top latch replacement component for the 7110F. A top latch is the bolt assembly that engages the head frame or strike; the Von Duprin 050519 is the adjustable rod that runs up the door and drives that latch, sized for door heights from 6 feet 8 inches to 8 feet 4 inches. If the rod is bent, mis-cut or too short after a door swap, you need the rod kit. If the latch itself is worn or will not project, you need the latch component, and it has to be the one matching the device on the door.
7) What is the difference between an adjustable top rod kit and ordering a rod cut to my door height?
An adjustable rod is field-set. The 050519 spans 6 feet 8 inches to 8 feet 4 inches, so one part number covers most standard and oversized commercial leaves and you set the length at install. A fixed rod is dedicated to one height, like the Falcon 610061 concealed vertical top rod made for the F-25-C and F-25-CWDC devices, which ties you to that device and that length. If you maintain a building with mixed door heights, the adjustable kit is the one you stock.
8) I have a pair of doors with no mullion. Is a top rod kit what I need?
A vertical rod device latches into the head and the threshold, which is how a pair of doors is secured with no center mullion, so the 050519 top rod is the right part if those doors already carry Von Duprin 33 or 35 Series vertical rod devices. If instead the pair uses rim devices, you need a removable mullion, not a rod, and the Falcon 4023 steel mullion covers double door exit device applications with the Falcon 525 aluminum mullion stabilizers available alongside it.
9) Can one Von Duprin 050519 kit standardize the top rods across a building with different door heights?
For any Von Duprin 33 or 35 Series vertical rod opening between 6 feet 8 inches and 8 feet 4 inches, yes, one part number covers it. That is useful for an MRO or facilities stock room: a single line item on the shelf instead of several fixed rod lengths, and the technician sets the length at the door. Openings outside that height range, or on other device series, still need their own part.
10) I have a pair of doors that keeps failing at the top rod. What should I use instead of another rod kit?
If the recurring failure is at the meeting stile of a double door rather than in the device itself, a mullion changes the opening instead of repairing it. The Falcon 4023 is a steel mullion for double door exit device applications, which lets each leaf carry rim hardware against a fixed center post rather than relying on vertical rods top and bottom. The Falcon 525 aluminum mullion stabilizers address movement in an existing mullion installation. The Von Duprin 050519 remains the right part when the opening stays as vertical rod 33 or 35 Series hardware and only the top rod length needs to be set for a door between 6 feet 8 inches and 8 feet 4 inches.
11) For a fire-labeled opening, can I use the Von Duprin 050519 or an Accentra 7110F component?
Neither one carries a fire rating on its own. The Von Duprin 050519 adjustable top rod kit is Grade 1 commercial and is listed with a fire rating of No, and the Accentra 60-7010-0050-999 top latch replacement component for the 7110F is also listed with a fire rating of No. On a labeled opening the rating belongs to the complete device and door assembly as installed, so the practical step is to match the exact component the device manufacturer specifies for the labeled device already hanging in the frame rather than treating either component as carrying the label itself.
12) Will a Falcon T Series deadlatch part fix a top rod that will not latch?
It will not. The Falcon 23981160 is a 2-3/8 inch square corner deadlatch replacement part in the T Series, which is the latch that throws into the strike on the lock edge of the door. A vertical rod exit device latches at the head of the frame through the top rod instead, and on Von Duprin 33 and 35 Series that rod is the 050519 kit, adjustable for door heights from 6 feet 8 inches to 8 feet 4 inches. Diagnose where the door is failing to secure first: at the head, the rod and its adjustment are the subject; at the lock edge, a deadlatch part is.
