Von Duprin 50492 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which Von Duprin exit devices does the 050492 top latch kit fit?
The 050492 top latch kit is a Von Duprin replacement top latch assembly for the 33/35 Series (including the 3547A), the 98/99 Series (including the 9947 and the 9547 and 9547-F), and the 94 Series. Those are vertical rod devices, where the top latch is the piece that engages the strike at the head of the frame. If your device is a rim or mortise Von Duprin, there is no top latch to replace and this is the wrong kit.
2) My exit device does not latch at the top of the door any more. Do I have to replace the whole device?
Usually not. On a Von Duprin vertical rod device, the top latch is the wear item that engages the head strike, and the 050492 kit supplies the replacement top latch assembly so you can restore latching without pulling the whole device off the door. If the rods, the bottom latch, or the push rail chassis are what failed, the top latch kit will not fix it.
3) What is the equivalent top latch replacement for an Accentra 7110 or 7120 exit device instead of the Von Duprin 050492?
The Von Duprin 050492 Top Latch Kit is built for Von Duprin 33/35, 98/99 and 94 Series exit devices, so it is a Von Duprin service part rather than a universal one. On an Accentra device, the matching part is the Accentra 7110/7120 Exit Device Top Latch Replacement Component, part number 60-7010-0049-999, which is the top latch replacement for that manufacturer's 7110 and 7120 devices. Identify the device by the manufacturer stamped on the touchbar end cap or chassis before ordering either one, since the top latch assembly is machined to its own device family and the two do not interchange.
4) Is the Von Duprin 050492 an authentic Von Duprin part or an aftermarket copy?
It is a genuine Von Duprin component, not an aftermarket substitute. For a locksmith or a facilities crew servicing an installed 98/99 or 33/35 device, that matters because the top latch has to index correctly with the factory rod and the existing head strike, which is not something a generic latch does.
5) Is the 050492 top latch kit rated for high traffic commercial openings?
Grade 1, commercial. That is the highest of the three ANSI/BHMA grades and the level normally specified for schools, hospitals, offices, and other high traffic exit openings, so replacing a worn top latch with this kit keeps the device at the grade it was installed at.
6) What is the difference between a top latch kit and a top rod for a vertical rod exit device?
They are two different parts of the same latching train. The top latch is the bolt assembly at the head of the door that engages the strike, and the 050492 kit replaces that assembly on Von Duprin 33/35, 98/99, and 94 Series devices. The rod is the linkage running up the door from the push rail to that latch, and it is ordered separately and by length, the way the Falcon 610061 top rod is sold for its own 24 Series concealed vertical rod devices. If the latch is worn or broken, you want the latch kit. If the rod is bent, sheared, or the wrong length for a tall door, the latch kit will not help.
7) We standardize hardware across a portfolio of buildings. Does one top latch kit cover our different Von Duprin devices?
Across the common Von Duprin vertical rod families, yes, one part number covers a lot of ground. The 050492 spans the 33/35 Series, the 98/99 Series, and the 94 Series, which means a property manager or MRO buyer can stock a single top latch kit for openings installed over several device generations instead of carrying one part per series. Openings with a fire label are the exception, since this kit is not fire rated.
8) My double doors are not latching at the top. Do I need a top latch kit or a mullion?
Those are two different repairs on a pair of doors. The Von Duprin 050492 Top Latch Kit is a replacement part that restores latch function on Von Duprin 33/35, 98/99 and 94 Series exit devices, so it applies when the device's own top latch is worn or damaged. A removable mullion such as the Falcon 4023 Steel Mullion for Double Door Exit Device Applications is instead the vertical member set between the two leaves that rim devices latch into, and Falcon 525 Aluminum Mullion Stabilizers are the accessory that steadies a mullion in the opening. If each leaf carries a vertical rod device and the top latch will not engage the strike, the latch kit is the part; if the pair uses rim devices against a center mullion, the mullion hardware is where to look.
9) Is a concealed vertical top rod the same repair as a top latch kit?
No. The Von Duprin 050492 Top Latch Kit replaces the top latch assembly itself on Von Duprin 33/35, 98/99 and 94 Series exit devices, restoring latch function without replacing the whole device. A part such as the Falcon 610061 24 Series Monarch Concealed Vertical Top Rod is the rod that runs up through the door to drive a top latch on Falcon F-25-C and F-25-CWDC devices. If the rod is bent or disconnected, a latch kit will not fix it; if the latch itself is worn at the head of the frame, a rod will not fix that. Confirm which of the two is failing before ordering.
10) Will a deadlatch replacement part work in place of an exit device top latch kit?
No. A part like the Falcon T Series 2-3/8 inch Square Corner Deadlatch Replacement Part is the latch that sits in the edge of the door and is driven by a lever or knob on a T Series lockset, sized by backset and faceplate corner. The Von Duprin 050492 Top Latch Kit is a replacement assembly for the top latching point of a Von Duprin 33/35, 98/99 or 94 Series exit device, where the latch engages a strike at the head of the frame rather than the jamb. They serve different hardware on different parts of the door and are not interchangeable.
11) I need to fix the cylinder on my exit device. Is the 050492 the right part?
No. The Von Duprin 050492 Top Latch Kit is a Grade 1 commercial replacement part that restores the mechanical top latch function on Von Duprin 33/35, 98/99 and 94 Series exit devices, and it carries no keying components. For the cylinder side of a rim device, the part in that family is a rim housing such as the Arrow 16RCR-27 SFIC Rim Housing, 6/7-Pin, which accepts a small format interchangeable core on Arrow 24/25 Series hardware. Order by which end of the device is failing: latching at the head of the frame takes the latch kit, key control takes the cylinder housing.
