Von Duprin 50128 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) My Von Duprin vertical rod device latches at the top but not the bottom. Will the 050128 kit fix that?
No. The 050128 covers the ES98/9947 top latch only. A bottom latching problem points to the bottom rod, bottom latch, or the strike in the threshold, and needs the matching bottom service part for your device. Diagnose which end has failed before ordering, since the two ends use different kits.
2) Is there a top latch replacement for an Accentra exit device, or does the Von Duprin 050128 fit it?
The Von Duprin 050128 ES98/9947 top latch kit is built for Von Duprin 33/35/98/99 Series exit devices and should not be fitted to an Accentra device. For Accentra, the top latch replacement components are the 60-7010-0049-999 for 7110/7120 devices and the 60-7010-0050-999 for the 7110F. Match the kit to the device family the door already carries, since latch geometry and mounting are specific to each manufacturer's chassis.
3) My concealed vertical rod device won't latch at the top - is the 050128 the part I need?
The Von Duprin 050128 is a top latch kit for 33/35/98/99 Series exit devices, so it addresses the latch assembly itself. If the failure is in the rod rather than the latch, the equivalent repair on a Falcon concealed vertical rod device is the Falcon 610061 24 Series Monarch concealed top rod for F-25-C and F-25-CWDC devices. Diagnose whether the latch or the rod is at fault first, then order to the device brand on the door.
4) Is this Von Duprin latch kit strong enough for a high traffic entrance in a school or hospital?
It is a Grade 1 commercial component, the top performance tier for door hardware, and it is specified for commercial rather than residential use. That covers heavy traffic openings in schools, hospitals, offices, and government buildings.
5) Do I have to replace the whole exit device, or can I just swap the top latch?
If the chassis, touchpad, and rods are sound and only the top latch has worn or broken, the 050128 kit is the targeted repair, which keeps the opening down for less time and preserves the existing device. Full device replacement only makes sense when the chassis or rail is damaged.
6) Is there a top latch replacement part like this for non Von Duprin exit devices?
Yes, but they are brand and series specific and do not interchange. For Accentra devices, the 7110/7120 top latch replacement component covers the standard devices and a separate part covers the 7110F. Falcon service parts run the same way, such as the 610061 concealed vertical top rod for the 24 Series Monarch F-25-C and F-25-CWDC devices. Match the part to the device brand and series you actually have on the door.
7) I have a pair of doors with no mullion and the top latches keep failing. Should I buy the 050128 or add a mullion?
Those are two different fixes. The 050128 repairs the top latch on a Von Duprin 33/35/98/99 Series device and keeps the vertical rod setup that gives you a clear opening with no center post. If you would rather convert the pair to rim devices, that calls for a mullion instead, such as the Falcon 4023 steel mullion for double door exit device applications. Rim devices with a mullion trade the clear opening for simpler hardware.
8) Do I need a different top latch kit if my door is a fire-rated opening?
The Von Duprin 050128 top latch kit is not carried with a fire rating. The Accentra top latch components are likewise carried without a fire rating, both the 60-7010-0049-999 for 7110/7120 and the 60-7010-0050-999 for the fire-labeled 7110F chassis. On a labeled opening, confirm the replacement part against the device label and the authority having jurisdiction before you install.
9) What is the difference between the Von Duprin 050128 top latch kit and a deadlatch replacement like the Falcon 23981160?
The Von Duprin 050128 ES98/9947 kit replaces the top latch on a 33/35/98/99 Series exit device, which is the vertical-rod latching point at the head of the door. The Falcon 23981160 is a 2-3/8 inch square corner deadlatch replacement part for T Series devices, which is the rim latch that engages a strike on the jamb. They serve different latching points and are not interchangeable.
10) If the top latch is not the problem on my pair of doors, what else should I look at ordering?
On a double-door opening, the issue is often the mullion rather than the latch. The Von Duprin 050128 is a top latch kit for 33/35/98/99 Series devices; if the devices latch into a removable mullion, the Falcon 4023 steel mullion covers double door exit device applications, and the Falcon 525 aluminum mullion stabilizers address movement at the mullion. Check whether the latch is failing to engage or the mullion is deflecting before you choose a part.
11) Does the Von Duprin 050128 kit come with the rods or the strike?
The 050128 is the ES98/9947 top latch kit. It is a latch assembly service part, so plan the job around reusing your existing rods and top strike unless those are also worn. If the rod itself is bent or the strike is chewed up, order those separately.
12) Will the 050128 let me rekey or change the cylinder on my exit device?
No. The Von Duprin 050128 is a top latch kit, a mechanical latching component for 33/35/98/99 Series exit devices, and has nothing to do with keying. Cylinder work on a rim exit device calls for a rim housing such as the Arrow 16RCR-27 SFIC rim housing for 6/7-pin cores on 24/25 Series devices. Order the housing to the device brand and core format your facility keys to.
