Von Duprin 050185 26D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Von Duprin 55 Series 5575 Center Case Kit used for?
The 5575 center case kit is a field-replaceable component for Von Duprin 55 Series exit devices. It houses the latch mechanism and allows for conversion between different handing configurations or replacement of worn internal components.
2) Is this kit compatible with all Von Duprin 55 Series devices?
This center case kit is designed specifically for Von Duprin 55 Series exit devices. Verify your existing device model number before ordering. Not compatible with other Von Duprin series like 33 or 99.
3) What does "Right Hand Reverse" handing mean?
Right Hand Reverse (RHR) means the door swings away from you with hinges on the right when viewed from the secure side. Verify door handing before installation as incorrect handing will prevent proper operation.
4) Can I change the handing of an existing exit device with this kit?
Yes, replacing the center case kit allows you to convert the handing of a 55 Series device. Ensure you order the correct handing for your door configuration and follow Von Duprin installation instructions.
5) What grade rating does the 55 Series provide?
Von Duprin 55 Series devices typically meet ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 standards for heavy-duty commercial applications. Verify specific certifications with manufacturer documentation for code compliance requirements.
6) Does this kit meet fire door requirements?
Von Duprin 55 Series devices can be used on fire-rated assemblies when properly listed. Check the fire label on your door and verify the complete assembly meets local fire code requirements.
7) What tools are needed for installation?
Basic hand tools including screwdrivers and hex keys are typically required. Specific tool requirements are detailed in Von Duprin installation instructions. Keep the door supported during case replacement.
8) Can this kit be installed on existing door preparations?
Yes, since this replaces the center case only, existing door preparations remain unchanged. The kit works with current mounting holes and door prep dimensions for 55 Series devices.
9) How do I maintain the center case mechanism?
Regular cleaning and light lubrication of moving parts extends service life. Avoid over-lubrication which attracts debris. Test operation monthly and inspect for wear or damage to internal components.
10) Are there other Von Duprin 55 Series configurations available?
Yes, Von Duprin offers multiple 55 Series configurations including different handings, functions, and finishes. Browse our Von Duprin collection for complete device options and accessories.
11) What are common signs that a center case needs replacement?
Replace the center case if you notice binding during operation, inconsistent latching, excessive play in the pushbar, or visible wear to internal components. Address issues promptly to maintain security and code compliance.
12) Does this kit include all necessary hardware?
The kit includes the center case mechanism and essential mounting hardware. Verify contents against the packing list and check if additional components are needed based on your specific installation requirements.
