Von Duprin 50200 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Von Duprin 050200 backplate conversion kit actually do?
The 050200 is a backplate conversion kit for Von Duprin 88 Series exit devices. It lets you take a device currently set up as EO (exit only), DT (dummy trim), or TP (thumbpiece) and convert it to accept K (knob) or L (lever) outside trim. You're changing how the door is operated from the pull side without pulling the whole device off the door. It's a replacement/conversion part, not a complete exit device, and not the trim itself.
2) Will the 050200 conversion kit work on a Von Duprin 98 or 99 Series exit device?
No. The 050200 backplate conversion kit is built for the Von Duprin 88 Series platform only. If the device on your door is a 98/99, 33A/35A, or any other Von Duprin family, this kit won't mount to it. Check the model stamped on the device or the touchpad end cap before ordering, because the 88 Series backplate pattern is what this kit is cut for.
3) Can I use the 88 Series backplate conversion kit on a fire-rated exit device?
Yes. The 050200 kit supports both panic and fire-rated 88 Series configurations, so it covers a fire exit hardware device as well as a standard panic device. Worth knowing for a fire door: a fire-rated opening has no dogging, so the outside trim is how anyone gets back in, which is exactly why converting from EO to lever or knob trim comes up on those openings.
4) Do I still need to buy the lever or knob trim separately with the 050200 kit?
Yes. The 050200 supplies the backplate hardware that lets an 88 Series device accept K or L trim. The knob or lever trim itself is a separate order, and so is the cylinder if the trim you pick is a keyed function. Order the kit and the 88 Series trim together so the job doesn't stall halfway through.
5) Can an Accentra 7110/7120 top latch replacement part be used to convert a Von Duprin 88 Series device to lever trim?
No. The Accentra 60-7010-0049-999 is a top latch replacement component for the Accentra 7110/7120 exit devices, so it addresses the latching end of an Accentra device rather than the trim side of a Von Duprin. The Von Duprin 050200 is a backplate conversion kit built for the 88 Series exit device platform, and it is what carries an EO, DT, or TP configuration over to K knob or L lever trim. A top latch and a trim backplate serve different points on the device and are not interchangeable between the two brands.
6) I need to join two exit devices across a pair of doors, not change trim. What part does that instead of the Von Duprin 050200?
That is a mullion job, not a trim conversion. The Falcon 4023 is a steel mullion for double door exit device applications, and the Falcon 525 aluminum mullion stabilizers are accessories for exit devices in that same role. The Von Duprin 050200 backplate conversion kit does not address the opening between a pair of doors at all; it takes an 88 Series device from an EO, DT, or TP configuration to K knob or L lever trim on a single leaf. If the requirement is a fixed center post for a double opening, order the mullion, and use the 050200 only when the pull side of the device needs knob or lever operation.
7) Is it worth converting an existing 88 Series exit device to lever trim, or should I just replace the device?
If the device itself is sound and only the trim function is wrong, the conversion kit is the smaller job. It reconfigures an EO, dummy-trim, or thumbpiece 88 Series device to knob or lever trim without replacing the device, so the door prep, the rail, and the latch all stay as they are. Replace the whole device instead when the mechanism is worn, when you're changing device type (rim to vertical rod, for instance), or when the door prep has to change anyway.
8) Is the Von Duprin 88 Series conversion kit rated for a high-traffic commercial opening?
The 050200 carries a Grade 1 rating and is designated for commercial use, which is the level a school corridor, hospital wing, or office stairwell door is normally specified to. For an institutional buyer standardizing trim across a building, that means the converted openings stay at the same grade as the original 88 Series device.
9) I need to convert a thumbpiece trim exit device to a lever - what part covers that?
That's exactly what the Von Duprin 050200 handles on an 88 Series device. TP (thumbpiece) is one of the three starting configurations the kit converts from, along with EO and DT, and it takes you to either K knob or L lever trim. Common on older exterior openings where the thumbpiece has worn out or where an accessible lever is now wanted in its place.
10) Is the Falcon 610061 concealed vertical top rod an alternative to the Von Duprin 050200?
They solve unrelated problems. The Falcon 610061 is a 24 Series Monarch concealed vertical top rod for the F-25-C and F-25-CWDC exit devices, so it is a vertical rod component internal to a Falcon concealed vertical rod device. The Von Duprin 050200 is a backplate conversion kit for the 88 Series that changes the outside trim configuration from EO, DT, or TP to K knob or L lever. Ordering the rod when the outside of the door needs a lever leaves the trim unchanged, and ordering the conversion kit when a rod is worn leaves the latching unchanged.
11) We want to key the outside trim on an exit device. Does the Von Duprin 050200 include the cylinder housing, or do we need something like the Arrow 16RCR-27?
The Arrow 16RCR-27 is an SFIC rim housing in the 24/25 Series, which is the component that receives a small format interchangeable core on a rim device. The Von Duprin 050200 is a backplate conversion kit that carries an 88 Series device from EO, DT, or TP over to K knob or L lever trim; it is the trim mounting side of the work. A keyed outside opening on an 88 Series therefore needs the cylinder specified with the Von Duprin trim itself, and the Arrow housing belongs to the Arrow 24/25 Series rather than the 88 Series platform.
12) Our door latch is dragging, not the trim. Is the Falcon 23981160 deadlatch what we want rather than the 050200 kit?
If the fault is at the latch, yes, that is the family of part to look at: the Falcon 23981160 is a 2-3/8 inch square corner deadlatch replacement part in the Falcon T Series, a latching component for a T Series device. The Von Duprin 050200 backplate conversion kit does not touch latching; it is the Grade 1 commercial part that converts an 88 Series EO, DT, or TP configuration to K knob or L lever trim. Confirm whether the complaint is that the door will not latch or that the outside has no lever, then order to the matching platform, since the Falcon part is T Series and the 050200 is 88 Series.
13) What other Von Duprin or Falcon exit device parts might I need alongside a trim conversion?
Depends on what else the opening needs. For a pair of doors with rim devices, a removable mullion like the Falcon 4023 steel mullion is the part that gives each leaf something to latch into, and the Falcon 525 aluminum mullion stabilizers go with mullion applications. If your issue is a worn latch rather than trim, that's a latch component (an Accentra 7110/7120 top latch, for example) and not a backplate kit. The 050200 only addresses the outside trim function on an 88 Series device.
