Von Duprin 50523 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exit devices does the Von Duprin 050523 latch retrofit kit fit?
The 050523 EL98/9948-F latch retrofit kit is made for Von Duprin 33/35/98/99 Series exit devices, specifically EL98 and 9948-F configurations. It replaces the latch assembly on a device already hanging on the door, so you are not pulling and re-prepping the whole exit device. If your device is a different Von Duprin family or another brand, this is not the part.
2) Can I use the Von Duprin 050523 latch kit on a fire rated opening?
No. The 050523 kit is not fire rated, so it does not belong on a labeled fire door assembly. Fire openings need the fire-rated latching components specified for that device, and substituting a non-rated part voids the label.
3) Do I have to replace the whole exit device, or can I just swap the latch?
For a worn or failed latch on an EL98 or 9948-F device, the 050523 kit lets you rebuild in place. It is an official Von Duprin replacement part for the 33/35/98/99 family, so the door prep, rails and trim stay as they are. Full device replacement only makes sense if the rail, chassis or electrified module is also damaged.
4) Can an Accentra 7110/7120 top latch replacement component be used in place of the Von Duprin 050523 latch retrofit kit?
No. The Von Duprin 050523 EL98/9948-F latch retrofit kit is built for Von Duprin 33/35/98/99 Series exit devices, and the Accentra 60-7010-0049-999 part is a top latch replacement component for Accentra 7110/7120 exit devices. Each is matched to its own device chassis and rod geometry, so they are not interchangeable. If the device on the door is an Accentra 7110 or 7120, order the Accentra component; if it is a Von Duprin 98 or 99, the 050523 kit is the matched part.
5) I have a pair of doors with no center post and the latch will not catch. Do I need the 050523 kit or a mullion?
If the exit device itself latches correctly but there is nothing for it to strike on a double door opening, the missing piece is a mullion, not a latch part. The Falcon 4023 is a steel mullion for double door exit device applications, and the Falcon 525 aluminum mullion stabilizers support mullion installations. The Von Duprin 050523 kit only addresses the latch assembly on 33/35/98/99 Series devices.
6) Is this Von Duprin retrofit kit rated for high traffic commercial doors?
Yes. The 050523 latch kit carries a Grade 1 rating and is designated for commercial use, which is the level you want on school, hospital, office and government egress doors that cycle all day.
7) My pair of doors won't latch reliably. Is a latch retrofit kit the fix, or do I need a mullion?
Depends on what is failing. If a rim device is dropping the latch or the latch is worn, the 050523 kit rebuilds the latching on a Von Duprin 33/35/98/99 device. If the problem is that the two doors meet with nothing to latch into, that is a mullion question, not a latch question, and a steel mullion such as the Falcon 4023 for double door exit device applications is the part that solves it.
8) Is the Falcon 23981160 deadlatch a substitute for the Von Duprin 050523 latch kit?
No. The Falcon 23981160 is a 2-3/8 inch square corner deadlatch replacement part for Falcon T Series locks, which is a cylindrical lockset latch, not an exit device component. The Von Duprin 050523 is a latch retrofit kit for EL98/9948-F exit devices in the 33/35/98/99 Series. The two serve different hardware types and different door preps.
9) My vertical rod exit device needs a new top rod, not a latch kit. What should I look at?
A latch retrofit kit such as the Von Duprin 050523 replaces the latching assembly on 33/35/98/99 Series devices; it is not a rod. For a concealed vertical rod replacement on Falcon Monarch devices, the Falcon 610061 is a 24 Series concealed vertical top rod for F-25-C and F-25-CWDC exit devices. Identify whether the failure is at the latch or in the rod linkage before ordering.
10) Will an Arrow 16RCR-27 rim housing solve a latch problem on a 98 Series exit device?
No. The Arrow 16RCR-27 is a 6/7-pin SFIC rim housing from the Arrow 24/25 Series, which is a cylinder component for keyed access, not a latching component. The Von Duprin 050523 EL98/9948-F kit is the latch retrofit for 33/35/98/99 Series devices. A device that dogs and keys correctly but fails to latch needs the latch kit, not a cylinder housing.
