Von Duprin 050515 US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Von Duprin 050515 rod kit work on an Accentra or Falcon exit device?
No. The 050515 is built to Von Duprin specifications for the 3527A, 9827, and 9857. Other brands use their own rod lengths and latch geometry, so for an Accentra 7110 or 7120 device you would go to that brand's own components, such as the Accentra 7110/7120 top latch replacement, and for a Falcon T Series you would use Falcon's own parts.
2) Can a Falcon 610061 vertical rod be used in place of the Von Duprin 050515 bottom rod kit?
No. The Falcon 610061 is a concealed vertical TOP rod for Falcon F-25-C and F-25-CWDC exit devices, so it serves the upper latch of a different manufacturer's device. The Von Duprin 050515 supplies the bottom rod components for Von Duprin 3527A, 9827, and 9857 vertical rod exit devices in the 35/98 Series. Top and bottom rods are not interchangeable positions, and the two are built to different device platforms, so a 610061 will not restore bottom latch operation on a Von Duprin 9827 or 9857.
3) The bottom rod on our double door exit device keeps getting damaged - is there a way to avoid vertical rods at the floor entirely?
On a pair of doors, a removable mullion setup replaces the vertical rod arrangement with rim devices latching to a center post, which takes the bottom rod and floor strike out of the opening. The Falcon 4023 is a steel mullion for double door exit device applications, and the Falcon 525 aluminum mullion stabilizers are exit device accessories for mullion installations. If the doors stay as vertical rod devices, the Von Duprin 050515 is the bottom rod kit that keeps Von Duprin 3527A, 9827, and 9857 devices latching at the sill.
4) Our fire rated exit device pair needs a bottom rod - is the Von Duprin 050515 the right part for a labeled opening?
The Von Duprin 050515 bottom rod kit carries a fire rating of No, so it is not the component to specify where the assembly has to hold a label. Among the exit device replacement components in the same class, the Accentra 60-7010-0049-999 and 60-7010-0050-999 top latch components are also rated No for fire. For a labeled opening, the rod has to come from the fire rated version of the device family it belongs to. On a standard, non-labeled commercial opening, the 050515 is the Grade 1 bottom rod kit for Von Duprin 3527A, 9827, and 9857 devices.
5) What finishes does the Von Duprin 050515 bottom rod kit come in?
Nine finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 628 aluminum, 630 satin stainless steel, 710 dark bronze, and 711 black. Match the finish code to the exit device already on the door, since the bottom rod sits exposed on a surface vertical rod device and a mismatch shows.
6) My exit device was ordered less bottom rod. Can I add the bottom rod back with the 050515 kit?
The 050515 kit supplies bottom rod parts for the 3527A, 9827, and 9857 devices, so it is the right family of part for restoring bottom rod operation on those models. Be aware that a device set up less bottom rod also lacks the bottom strike and the floor prep, so putting the rod back is a floor and threshold job as well as a hardware one.
7) Is the Von Duprin 050515 kit rated for commercial traffic?
Grade 1, commercial. That is the top ANSI/BHMA durability tier for exit hardware, which is what you want on a high traffic opening in a school, hospital, or office building. It is not a residential part.
8) We stock Accentra 7110 exit device latch parts - will those cover a Von Duprin 9827 rod repair?
No. The Accentra 60-7010-0049-999 is a top latch replacement component for Accentra 7110/7120 exit devices, and the 60-7010-0050-999 is the top latch replacement component for the 7110F. Both address the top latch of Accentra devices. The Von Duprin 050515 covers the bottom rod on Von Duprin 3527A, 9827, and 9857 exit devices, which is a different position on a different device family, so the Accentra parts will not serve that repair.
9) What is the difference between the Von Duprin 050515 and a latch part like the Falcon 23981160?
The Falcon 23981160 is a 2-3/8 inch square corner deadlatch replacement part for the Falcon T Series, meaning it is the latch body itself in a rim or bored application. The Von Duprin 050515 is the bottom rod kit that drives the lower latch on Von Duprin 3527A, 9827, and 9857 vertical rod exit devices - it is the linkage down to the sill rather than a latch bolt assembly. If the complaint is that the device pushes but the bottom does not release, the rod kit is the part in question; if the latch itself is worn or damaged, that is a latch replacement on whichever device family is on the door.
10) Is the Von Duprin 050515 a genuine Von Duprin part or an aftermarket rod?
Genuine Von Duprin, manufactured to Von Duprin specifications as a replacement component for the 35/98 Series. For facilities standardizing on Von Duprin across a building, that matters: the rod, latch, and device stay a matched assembly instead of a mix of brands on the same door.
11) Does the Arrow 16RCR-27 rim housing have anything to do with a Von Duprin vertical rod repair?
No. The Arrow 16RCR-27 is a 6/7-pin SFIC rim housing in the Arrow 24/25 Series, which is a cylinder housing for keyed control of a device. The Von Duprin 050515 is a mechanical bottom rod kit for Von Duprin 3527A, 9827, and 9857 exit devices and has no keying function. A vertical rod device that latches correctly but will not key from outside is a cylinder and trim question; a device that will not latch at the floor is the rod kit.
