Von Duprin 050656 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly does the Von Duprin 050656 service kit include, and which exit device does it fit?
The 050656 is a top latch and rod service kit for the Von Duprin 55 Series exit device in the ES5547 configuration. It supplies the top latch and the rod components, so you can restore latching at the head without pulling and replacing the whole device. It is a Von Duprin factory replacement part, matched to the 55 Series ES5547 only, not a universal top latch.
2) My 55 Series device isn't latching at the top of the door. Do I need a whole new exit device?
Usually not. If the fault is at the top latch or the vertical rod, the 050656 kit swaps those components on an ES5547 device and gets the top latching point working again. Replacing the device only makes sense if the chassis, touchpad or dogging mechanism is the problem. Doing the kit keeps the existing mounting holes and door prep in play.
3) Will the Von Duprin 050656 kit fit an Accentra or Falcon exit device?
No. It is cut for the Von Duprin 55 Series ES5547 and nothing else. For other brands, the top latch is brand and model specific: Accentra 7110/7120 devices take the Accentra 7110/7120 top latch component, and the fire rated Accentra 7110F takes its own top latch part. On the Falcon side, a 24 Series Monarch concealed vertical device uses the Falcon 610061 top rod for F-25-C and F-25-CWDC. Match the part to the device family on the door.
4) Can an Accentra 7110 top latch part be used to repair a Von Duprin ES5547 exit device?
No. The Von Duprin 050656 is a top latch and rod service kit built to original specifications for the 55 Series ES5547 device, and its components are designed exclusively for that device family. The Accentra 60-7010-0049-999 top latch replacement component is made for Accentra 7110/7120 exit devices, and Accentra 60-7010-0050-999 serves the 7110F device. They address the same failure - a worn or damaged top latch on a vertical rod device - but each is matched to its own manufacturer's chassis and rod geometry, so they are not interchangeable across brands.
5) Is this a Grade 1 part suitable for a high traffic commercial door?
Yes. The 050656 top latch and rod kit is built to Grade 1 commercial standards, the highest ANSI/BHMA durability tier, and it is a commercial rated part rather than a residential one. That is what you want on school, healthcare, office and warehouse egress doors where the device cycles all day.
6) I'm stocking parts for a building with several 55 Series exit devices. Is this the right kit to keep on the shelf?
Only if those devices are the ES5547 configuration. The 050656 is configuration specific within the 55 Series, so before you standardize on it, read the model stamp on the devices you maintain. If the building mixes rim devices and vertical rod devices, the rim units will not use a top latch at all and this kit does them no good.
7) Do I need a mullion or other accessories along with this top latch kit?
No. A vertical rod device latches at the head and at the threshold on its own, so a pair of doors running these devices does not need a center mullion. A mullion is what you add when you run rim devices on a pair, such as the Falcon 4023 steel mullion, and the Falcon 525 aluminum mullion stabilizers go with that setup. The 050656 kit is strictly a top latch and rod service item for the ES5547.
8) Is the 050656 kit an option for a fire-rated opening?
The Von Duprin 050656 55 Series top latch and rod service kit carries a fire rating value of No, as do the Accentra 60-7010-0049-999 and 60-7010-0050-999 top latch replacement components. For a labeled opening, the replacement part must match the fire-rated configuration of the device on the door, so confirm the device label and specify the fire-rated service part for that device family.
9) If only the top rod is damaged on a concealed vertical rod device, is there a rod-only part instead of a full latch kit?
For a Von Duprin 55 Series ES5547 device, the 050656 supplies the top latch and rod together as a single service kit, so the latch comes along with the rod. A rod-only approach exists in other lines - the Falcon 610061 is a 24 Series Monarch concealed vertical top rod for F-25-C and F-25-CWDC exit devices, sold as the rod for those specific devices. Which route you take is determined by the device on the door, not by preference: match the part to the device family stamped on the chassis.
10) My exit device latch is failing at the door edge, not the top of the frame - is the 050656 still the right part?
No. The Von Duprin 050656 addresses the top latch and rod of a 55 Series ES5547 vertical rod device, which latches into the head frame. A latch that engages the strike at the door edge is a rim or mortise latch, and that is a different component class - the Falcon 23981160 is a 2-3/8 inch square corner deadlatch replacement part for the T Series, an example of an edge-mounted latch replacement. Identify whether the device throws a bolt upward into the frame or a latch sideways into a strike before ordering.
11) The pair of doors will not latch reliably - should I replace the top latch kit or add a mullion?
Those are two different fixes. The Von Duprin 050656 top latch and rod service kit restores latch and rod function on a single 55 Series ES5547 device, so it is the answer when one leaf's top bolt is worn, bent, or not throwing. If the problem is the double door opening itself having no fixed strike point, that is a mullion question - the Falcon 4023 is a steel mullion for double door exit device applications, and the Falcon 525 aluminum mullion stabilizers address mullion movement in the opening. Diagnose whether the fault is in the device or in the opening before ordering.
12) Where can I get the full Von Duprin 55 Series specs before I order this part?
Von Duprin publishes a 55 Series catalog that covers the device family and its components, and it is the reference to check your ES5547 configuration against before ordering the 050656 kit.
13) Is a rim cylinder housing part a substitute for the top latch kit when the device will not release?
No - they control different things. The Von Duprin 050656 restores the mechanical top latch and rod on a 55 Series ES5547 device, which is what throws and retracts the bolt at the head frame. The Arrow 16RCR-27 is a 6/7-pin SFIC rim housing in the 24/25 Series, a cylinder component that handles key control and outside operation. If the pushbar works but the top bolt does not retract, the latch and rod kit is the part; if the key side is the problem, the cylinder housing is.
