Von Duprin 50240 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What voltage does the Von Duprin 050240 solenoid kit run at, and will it work on my 12V access control power supply?
The 050240 solenoid is a 24VDC part. It has to be fed 24VDC. If the door's power supply or access control output is running 12V, this solenoid is the wrong one for that circuit, and you either need to change the strike's solenoid to a 12V version or move that opening to a 24VDC supply. Nothing on the kit converts or accepts dual voltage.
2) Which Von Duprin electric strikes does the 050240 solenoid kit fit?
The 050240 solenoid kit is built for Von Duprin 6100 and 6200 Series electric strikes only. It is a component of that strike family, not a universal solenoid, so it won't drop into a 6300, a 6200 competitor strike, or another brand's strike body.
3) Do I have to order the fail safe and fail secure versions separately for a Von Duprin 6100 strike solenoid?
No. One 050240 kit covers both. Fail safe and fail secure are selected in the field on the solenoid itself, so a single part number handles a stairwell door that has to unlock on power loss and a perimeter door that has to stay locked. That also means one part on the truck instead of two when you don't know which way the opening is configured until you open it up.
4) Can I use the Von Duprin 050240 solenoid on a fire rated door opening?
The 050240 solenoid kit carries no fire rating. On a labeled fire door assembly the electric strike used has to be a fire rated strike, and a fail safe (unlocked on power loss) setup is generally not permitted on a fire door because the latch has to stay engaged. For a rated opening, source a fire rated electric strike model rather than rebuilding a non-rated one.
5) My 6100 electric strike stopped releasing but the strike body looks fine. Do I need a whole new strike?
Not necessarily. On the Von Duprin 6100/6200 strikes the solenoid is a serviceable component, and the 050240 is that replacement solenoid at 24VDC. If the keeper and the frame prep are intact and the failure is that the strike no longer pulls when signaled, swapping the solenoid keeps the existing strike body, frame cutout, and wiring in place. Whole strike replacement is the call when the housing or keeper itself is damaged, or when the frame prep has to change.
6) Can a Falcon 4023 steel mullion or Falcon 525 mullion stabilizers be used in place of a Von Duprin 050240 solenoid kit?
No. The Von Duprin 050240 is a 24VDC solenoid kit, field-selectable for Fail Safe or Fail Secure operation, that supplies the electrified actuation inside a 6100/6200 Series electric strike. The Falcon 4023 is a steel mullion for double door exit device applications, and the Falcon 525 is a set of aluminum mullion stabilizers for exit devices - both are structural parts that carry the opening and the device, with no electrical function. If an electric strike is not releasing on a signal, the solenoid is the part in question; mullion hardware sits on a different part of the opening entirely.
7) Will the 050240 solenoid kit fix a problem with my exit device rather than the strike?
No. The 050240 is an electric strike part. It goes in the frame side, in a Von Duprin 6100/6200 strike, and it does nothing for a failure in the exit device itself. If the trouble is at the device, the part you need is a device component: for a Falcon 24 Series Monarch concealed vertical rod setup that is a rod like the Falcon 610061 top rod for F-25-C and F-25-CWDC devices, and for an Accentra 7110/7120 the 60-7010-0049-999 top latch is the replacement component.
8) I have a pair of doors with no mullion and I want card access. Is a 6100 strike solenoid what I need?
Probably not for the inactive leaf. An electric strike, and therefore the 050240 solenoid inside it, needs something solid to mount into, which means a frame or a mullion. On a pair with no center post you either add a mullion and strike into that, or you electrify the exit device instead. Falcon sells the 4023 steel mullion for double door exit device applications, with the Falcon 525 aluminum mullion stabilizers as the companion piece.
9) Which way should I set the Von Duprin 050240, fail safe or fail secure?
It comes down to what the door has to do when the power drops. Fail secure keeps the strike locked with no power, which is the normal choice for perimeter and tenant entry doors, and it draws current only when someone is being let in. Fail safe releases on power loss, which is what egress-critical and some access-controlled interior openings are specified for. The 050240 does both, and the selection is made on site at install rather than at the time of order.
10) What is the difference between the Von Duprin 050240 solenoid kit and exit device latch replacement parts like the Accentra 7110/7120 top latch or the Falcon T Series deadlatch?
They repair opposite halves of the opening. The Von Duprin 050240 is the 24VDC solenoid that gives a 6100/6200 Series electric strike its Fail Safe or Fail Secure behavior, configured on site without added components - it lives in the frame side of the opening. The Accentra 60-7010-0049-999 top latch serves the 7110/7120 exit device and the Accentra 60-7010-0050-999 top latch serves the 7110F, while the Falcon 23981160 is a 2-3/8 inch square corner deadlatch replacement for T Series - all of those are mechanical latching parts belonging to the device on the door leaf. A door that latches but will not release electrically points to the solenoid; a door that will not stay latched points to the latch parts.
11) I need to keep a door secure on a power loss - does the Von Duprin 050240 handle that, or do I need a separate part like the Arrow 16RCR-27?
The Von Duprin 050240 covers it directly. The 24VDC kit is selectable in the field for either Fail Safe or Fail Secure, so the same part number serves an opening that must unlock on power loss for egress and one that must stay locked, with no second component to order. The Arrow 16RCR-27 is a 6/7-pin SFIC rim housing for the 24/25 Series - it accepts a small format interchangeable core for keyed mechanical access and does not set what an electric strike does when power drops. On an electrified opening, the solenoid selection is what determines the power-loss state.
12) Can a property maintenance tech install the Von Duprin 050240 solenoid, or does it need a locksmith?
The 050240 is an installation accessory intended for qualified installers and technicians. The mechanical swap is contained inside the strike, but the job includes confirming the supply is genuinely 24VDC and setting the fail safe or fail secure mode correctly for that opening, which is a life-safety decision on egress and access-controlled doors. In-house maintenance staff who already service electrified hardware can handle it; if the door is on an access control system or is part of an egress path, put a locksmith or integrator on it.
13) Is the Falcon 610061 concealed vertical top rod an alternative to the Von Duprin 050240 for an electrified opening?
No - the two do different jobs. The Falcon 610061 is a 24 Series Monarch concealed vertical top rod for F-25-C and F-25-CWDC exit devices, part of the mechanical linkage that throws the top latch inside a concealed vertical rod device. The Von Duprin 050240 is a 24VDC solenoid kit for 6100/6200 Series electric strikes, rated Grade 1 for commercial use, and it is what makes the strike release on an access control signal. An opening running a concealed vertical rod device with an electric strike in the frame can need both, but one never stands in for the other.
