Von Duprin 385A – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which Von Duprin exit devices does the 385A bottom strike work with?
The 385A vertical rod bottom strike is made for Von Duprin 33A, 35A, 9827, 9927, 9857 and 9957 series exit devices. If your device is one of those and the floor strike is broken, missing, or was never installed, the 385A is the part that completes it.
2) What is the difference between the Von Duprin 385A and the 340L bottom strike?
Both are floor strikes for vertical rod devices, but the 385A is the one to use on wood doors because it offers more adjustability when you are aligning the bottom rod to the floor. Von Duprin recommends it over the 340L for that reason. On a wood door opening where alignment is fussy, the 385A gives you room to dial it in.
3) How does the 385A floor strike install, and does it need to be grouted in?
It is a two-piece strike. The bottom piece is a grout-in unit that sets into the floor, and the top piece screws to the bottom of the door. So yes, the floor half needs to be grouted into the slab, which means it is a job for new construction or a floor you can cut and patch, not a drop-on surface mount.
4) Is the Von Duprin 385A the WDC standard strike?
Yes. The 385A is supplied as the WDC standard strike, which is the single configuration it comes in. Order it as-is; there is no alternate strike style to specify.
5) My surface vertical rod device won't latch at the bottom. Is replacing the floor strike the fix?
If the bottom rod is dropping but not catching, a damaged, loose, or missing floor strike is a common cause, and on 33A, 35A, 9827, 9927, 9857 and 9957 devices the 385A is the replacement. It is sold both for repairing a broken or missing part and for finishing an installation, so you can swap just the strike rather than the whole device.
6) Can I use the 385A on a metal door, or is it only for wood doors?
The strike is specified for the 33A, 35A, 9827, 9927, 9857 and 9957 devices generally, not for one door material. What Von Duprin calls out is that on wood doors the 385A is the better pick over the 340L because of its adjustability. The top half screws to the door bottom either way; the floor half grouts into the slab.
7) Do I need one 385A per door leaf on a pair of doors?
Each vertical rod device latches into its own floor strike, so a pair of doors with a surface vertical rod device on each leaf needs one 385A per leaf. The 385A is a single strike assembly consisting of the grout-in floor piece and the door-mounted top piece.
8) Is the 385A a complete strike or do I have to buy the floor and door pieces separately?
It is one part, two pieces. You get the grout-in bottom piece for the floor and the top piece that fastens to the door bottom with screws, so no separate ordering of halves.
