Von Duprin 50372 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Falcon 610061 concealed vertical top rod a substitute for the Von Duprin 050372 top rod kit?
No. The Falcon 610061 is a 245 Series concealed vertical top rod made for F-25-C and F-25-CWDC exit devices, so it is matched to that Falcon device platform. The Von Duprin 050372 top rod kit is built for the Von Duprin 55 Series exit device system and sized for 8 foot to 10 foot door heights. Vertical rod assemblies are not interchangeable between manufacturers or device series - use the rod kit that matches the device already on the door.
2) My vertical rod exit device is latching at the bottom but not the top - do I need a top rod kit or a top latch?
They are different repairs. The Von Duprin 050372 replaces the top rod assembly itself on a 55 Series vertical rod device, restoring rod travel on doors 8 to 10 feet tall. If the rod moves but the latch bolt does not engage, the latch is the part to change - on Accentra devices that is the 7110/7120 top latch replacement component, and the 7110F top latch component for the fire-rated 7110F device. Diagnose whether the fault is rod travel or latch engagement before ordering.
3) Is this top rod kit rated for high traffic commercial openings?
It is a Grade 1 commercial replacement part, which is the heaviest duty tier and what schools, hospitals and office towers typically specify for exit hardware. It is catalogued for commercial, not residential, use.
4) What does the top rod actually do on a vertical rod exit device?
It is the assembly that runs from the push bar up to the top latch, throwing and retracting the latch at the head of the frame. If the door is not securing at the top, or the rod was cut or bent, this kit restores that half of the latching on a 55 Series device. It is a replacement component, not a complete exit device.
5) I have a pair of doors with no mullion. Does a rod kit like this fit that situation?
Yes, that is exactly what vertical rod devices are for. They latch at the head and sill of each leaf, so a pair works without a center mullion. If you would rather run rim devices on the pair, you go the other way and add a mullion, for example the Falcon 4023 steel mullion for double door exit device applications.
6) Does the Von Duprin 050372 top rod kit carry a fire rating, and what if my opening is fire rated?
The 050372 top rod kit is listed with no fire rating, as is the Accentra 7110/7120 top latch replacement component. Accentra publishes a separate top latch component for the 7110F device, the fire-rated variant of that family. For a fire rated opening, source the replacement part specified for the fire rated version of the device on your door.
7) I have a pair of doors with no center post and the vertical rod devices keep dragging - is a top rod kit the fix?
Not by itself. The Von Duprin 050372 top rod kit only addresses the top rod on a 55 Series vertical rod device. If the problem is a double door opening with no fixed center post, the part that provides the strike point is a mullion - the Falcon 4023 is a steel mullion for double door exit device applications, and the Falcon 525 aluminum mullion stabilizers are exit device accessories used with mullion setups. Replace the rod only when the rod or its travel is the failure.
8) What is the difference between the Von Duprin 050372 and a deadlatch replacement part like the Falcon 23981160?
The Falcon 23981160 is a T Series deadlatch replacement part with a 2-3/8 inch square corner face, a latch that mounts in the door edge. The Von Duprin 050372 is a top rod kit - the vertical rod running up the door on a 55 Series exit device to drive the top latching point on doors 8 to 10 feet tall. One is the latch hardware in the edge of the door, the other is the linkage that actuates a top latch.
9) I only need the top latch, not the rod. Is this the right part?
No, the 050372 is the rod kit itself for the Von Duprin 55 Series. If the latch at the head is what failed, look at a top latch replacement component instead, such as the Accentra 7110/7120 top latch part for those devices.
