Von Duprin 50493 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Von Duprin 050493 bottom latch kit actually replace on an exit device?
The 050493 is the bottom latch assembly for a Von Duprin surface vertical rod exit device, the part that engages the strike at the threshold. On a vertical rod device the top latch catches at the head of the frame and the bottom latch catches at the floor or threshold strike. When the door stops securing at the bottom but the push bar and top latch still work, the bottom latch is what gets replaced. It is sold as a service part, not a complete device, so the existing device chassis, rods and push bar stay in the door.
2) My exit device is an Accentra or Falcon, not a Von Duprin. Will the 050493 latch kit work?
No. Latch kits are cut to the manufacturer's own rod and chassis geometry and do not cross brands. For an Accentra 7110/7120 device the matching service part is the Accentra top latch replacement component, and for an Accentra 7110F it is the 7110F version. On the Falcon side, a 24 Series Monarch concealed vertical rod device takes the Falcon 610061 top rod for F-25-C and F-25-CWDC. Match the part to the brand and model stamped on the device.
3) Is the Accentra 7110/7120 top latch component a substitute for the Von Duprin 050493 bottom latch kit?
No. The Accentra 60-7010-0049-999 is a top latch replacement component for Accentra 7110 and 7120 exit devices, so it addresses the top of the opening on a different manufacturer's device. The Von Duprin 050493 is a bottom latch kit built for Von Duprin 33/3547A, 98/9947 and 94/9547/-F exit devices. Latch components on vertical rod devices are matched to the device family and to the end of the door they serve, so a top latch for an Accentra chassis will not restore bottom latching on a Von Duprin device.
4) The bottom of a vertical rod device is not latching. Is the rod or the latch the part to order?
They are two separate components. The Von Duprin 050493 is a bottom latch kit for Von Duprin 33/3547A, 98/9947 and 94/9547/-F devices, so it replaces the latching hardware itself. A rod is a different item: the Falcon 610061 is a concealed vertical top rod for Falcon F-25-C and F-25-CWDC devices in the 24 Series Monarch line. Confirm whether the latch bolt or the rod that drives it is the failed piece, and match the part to the device brand and model.
5) Is the Von Duprin 050493 bottom latch kit rated for high traffic commercial doors?
It is a Grade 1 commercial part, which is the heaviest duty classification for door hardware and the one specified for school corridors, hospitals, and main entrances. It is not a residential or light commercial component. If you are keeping a building standardized on Von Duprin 98/99 or 33/35 devices, this keeps the replacement at the same duty level as the original.
6) Do I need a bottom latch kit or a top latch for my vertical rod exit device?
It depends which end stopped holding. Pull the door and watch the rods cycle: if the top rod retracts and the head strike releases normally but the door still drags or fails to secure at the floor, the bottom latch is the failed part and the 050493 is the Von Duprin service part for that end on 3547A, 9947 and 9547 devices. If the fault is at the head, you want a top latch instead. On many installations the bottom end takes the abuse first because it sits in the dirt and gets kicked.
7) I have a pair of doors with no mullion. Is replacing the bottom latch the right fix, or do I need a mullion?
If the pair is already fitted with Von Duprin 47 style vertical rod devices, the doors are meant to latch at head and threshold with no center post, and a failed bottom latch is a straight part swap using the 050493. Adding a mullion is a different decision: it converts the opening to rim devices and gives you a fixed or removable post in the middle. Falcon offers the 4023 steel mullion for double door exit device applications, plus the 525 aluminum mullion stabilizers, if you are going that route. For a simple repair on an existing vertical rod pair, stay with the latch kit.
8) Is the Falcon T Series deadlatch replacement part the same kind of item as the Von Duprin 050493?
Both are latching replacement parts, but they are not interchangeable. The Falcon 23981160 is a 2-3/8 inch square corner deadlatch replacement part in the Falcon T Series, which is lock hardware rather than exit device hardware. The Von Duprin 050493 is a bottom latch kit for Von Duprin 33/3547A, 98/9947 and 94/9547/-F exit devices, carrying a Grade 1 commercial rating. A door with a Von Duprin push bar takes the exit device part, not a T Series deadlatch.
9) Is the Von Duprin 050493 a genuine Von Duprin part or an aftermarket latch?
It is a Von Duprin branded service part for the 33/35 and 98/99 Series, ordered by the factory part number 050493. For a distributor or a facility keeping spares on the shelf, that is the number to stock against those device families. There is one configuration, so there are no finish or hand options to specify on the kit itself.
10) Does the Arrow 16RCR-27 rim housing relate to a Von Duprin bottom latch repair?
No. The Arrow 16RCR-27 is a small format interchangeable core rim housing in 6 and 7 pin, part of the Arrow 24/25 Series, so it is a cylinder housing that governs keyed access. The Von Duprin 050493 is a bottom latch kit for Von Duprin 33/3547A, 98/9947 and 94/9547/-F exit devices and addresses mechanical latching, not keying. A service call where the door will not stay latched at the bottom points to the latch kit; a call about key control points to cylinder hardware.
11) For a fire rated opening, does the Von Duprin 050493 or one of the comparable latch components apply?
The Von Duprin 050493 bottom latch 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. On a labeled opening, the specifying authority and the device manufacturer's listing govern which components may be used, so verify the device label and its permitted parts before selecting a replacement for a fire door.
