Von Duprin 114317-00 QEL Modular Conversion Kit

The Von Duprin 114317-00 is a Quiet Electric Latch Retraction (QEL) Modular Conversion Kit that upgrades compatible Von Duprin exit devices from standard mechanical operation to electric latch retraction, allowing the latch to be retracted remotely via an access control signal without requiring a separate electric strike. This is the factory-recommended upgrade path for integrating Von Duprin AX-series exit devices into card access, keypad, or building automation systems while preserving the device's Grade 1 panic hardware certification.

When the access control system sends a signal, the QEL module retracts the latch bolt, allowing the door to open with minimal force, supporting ADA-compliant, hands-free egress on controlled openings. The modular design means the conversion is performed at the device level, not the frame, making it the preferred solution when electric strikes are impractical or when the door frame cannot accommodate a strike cutout.

Von Duprin 114317-00 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to pick fail safe or fail secure when ordering the Von Duprin QEL conversion kit?
Yes, that choice is required on the 114317-00. It ships field selectable between fail safe and fail secure, so you set the behavior at install rather than ordering two different part numbers. Fail safe releases the latch on power loss; fail secure keeps it latched. Match it to what the fire marshal and the access control design call for on that opening.
2) Can I convert an exit device to electric latch retraction without replacing the whole device?
That is exactly what the Von Duprin 114317-00 does. It is a field-installable modular conversion that adds quiet electric latch retraction to a compatible AX-series device in place, so you keep the existing chassis, rails, and trim. The work happens at the device, not the frame, which is the route to take when the frame cannot be cut for an electric strike.
3) QEL latch retraction or an electric strike for card access on a fire-rated pair?
The 114317-00 QEL kit is not fire rated, so it is the wrong answer on a labeled opening. Where the door is not labeled, latch retraction at the device beats a strike when the frame is aluminum, already cut, or too shallow for a strike body, and it gives hands-free pull-open with the latch held back. An electric strike stays the simpler choice when the frame is open for prep and you only need momentary release.
4) Is the Von Duprin 114317-00 QEL kit fire rated?
No. The 114317-00 QEL Modular Conversion Kit carries no fire rating. If the opening is a labeled fire door, this kit does not belong on it, and latch retraction on a fire exit device is a restricted application to begin with. It is built for non-labeled commercial openings.
5) What comes in the Von Duprin 114317-00 QEL conversion kit?
The kit contains the solenoid module, a long and a short wiring harness, a mounting bracket, and mounting screws. What it does not include is the power supply or the access control interface, so budget for a Von Duprin power supply sized to the device and the wire run from the hinge side transfer. A door cord or electric hinge for the power transfer is a separate order too.
6) Will the Von Duprin 114317-00 QEL kit work on a Falcon or Accentra exit device?
No. The 114317-00 is engineered for the Von Duprin 33A/35A/98/99 AX-series product family - AX98/99, AXXP98/99, and AX33A/35A - and the host device has to carry the AX designation before the kit is ordered. Devices from other makers use their own chassis and their own parts: the Falcon 610061 24 Series Monarch concealed vertical top rod is written for F-25-C and F-25-CWDC devices, the Falcon T Series 2-3/8 inch square corner deadlatch replacement part is a T Series component, and the Accentra 7110/7120 and 7110F top latch replacement components serve those Accentra devices. None of them accept a Von Duprin QEL module, and the 114317-00 does not fit them. Electrifying a non-Von Duprin device means going to that manufacturer's own electric latch retraction option for the series on the door.
7) Does adding electric latch retraction void the panic hardware rating on my exit device?
No. The 114317-00 is the factory upgrade path and keeps the device's Grade 1 panic hardware certification intact. It stays a Grade 1 commercial assembly, which is what an institutional spec on a high-traffic opening is usually calling for. Mechanical egress through the push bar still works whether or not the latch is retracted.
8) Will QEL latch retraction help with an ADA push-button or automatic operator?
Yes. When the access control system signals the QEL module, the latch bolt pulls back so the door opens with minimal force, which is what an ADA-compliant hands-free opening needs before an operator swings it. Pair it with your operator's sequencing so the latch is clear before the arm drives the door.
9) I need to fix a double door with no mullion, not electrify it. Is this the right part?
No. The 114317-00 is an electrification kit and does nothing for a pair of doors mechanically. For a double door running rim devices you need a mullion, such as the Falcon 4023 steel mullion for double door exit device applications, with Falcon 525 aluminum mullion stabilizers if the opening calls for them.
10) My exit device latch is worn out. Does the QEL kit replace the latch?
It does not. The 114317-00 adds a solenoid that pulls the existing latch back on a signal; a damaged latch assembly still needs a latch part. For a Falcon 24 Series concealed vertical setup that means a rod like the Falcon 610061 top rod for F-25-C and F-25-CWDC devices, and on Accentra 7110/7120 devices the top latch replacement component. Diagnose the mechanical problem before you spend on electrification.
11) Can I use one 114317-00 kit on each leaf of a pair of AX99 devices?
Each device needs its own kit. The 114317-00 converts one exit device chassis, so a pair of doors with an AX99 on each leaf takes two kits plus a power supply sized to run both solenoids at inrush. Same rule for a bank of openings: one kit per device.
12) Can a Falcon 4023 steel mullion be used instead of the Von Duprin 114317-00 QEL kit to put a double door on access control?
No - those parts do two different jobs. The Falcon 4023 is a steel mullion for double door exit device applications, a removable vertical post that gives each leaf a strike surface so rim devices can be used on a pair. It is purely mechanical and does nothing to the latch. The Von Duprin 114317-00 is a Quiet Electric Latch Retraction modular conversion kit that changes the exit device itself from mechanical operation to electric latch retraction, so a card reader, keypad, or building automation signal can pull the latch back without a separate electric strike. A pair of doors being brought under access control may well need both: the mullion to make the opening work with rim devices, and the QEL conversion on the device that is being electrified.
13) The exit device is not latching reliably - is the Von Duprin 114317-00 QEL kit the fix, or is a latch replacement part the right call?
A device that is not latching is a mechanical problem, and the QEL kit does not address it. The Von Duprin 114317-00 converts a compatible AX-series device to quiet electric latch retraction for access control integration - it adds remote release, it does not repair worn latching. Parts written for that job include the Accentra 7110/7120 exit device top latch replacement component and the Accentra 7110F exit device top latch replacement component, which replace the latch hardware on their own devices, and the Falcon 610061 24 Series Monarch concealed vertical top rod, which restores the rod run on F-25-C and F-25-CWDC devices. Those are all brand and series specific, so the repair part has to match the device on the door. Order the 114317-00 when the goal is electrification of an AX98/99, AXXP98/99, or AX33A/35A device, not when the goal is getting a mechanical device latching again.
14) What is the simpler alternative to a QEL conversion if the opening only needs controlled key access and not a credential system?
If the opening does not need to answer to a card reader or building system, keyed control through the outside trim covers it without electrifying anything. A rim housing such as the Arrow 16RCR-27 SFIC rim housing, 6/7-pin, takes a small format interchangeable core so the opening can be brought onto an existing key system and rekeyed by swapping the core, with no wiring, no power supply, and no signal path to maintain. The Von Duprin 114317-00 QEL modular conversion kit is the step past that: it converts a compatible AX-series exit device to quiet electric latch retraction so the latch can be pulled back on an access control signal, which is what a keyed cylinder cannot do. Choose by whether the opening needs to be released remotely or only unlocked at the door with a key.
15) Where do I find wiring diagrams for the Von Duprin QEL conversion?
Wiring diagrams and installation steps for the 114317-00 are in the Von Duprin 98/99 Series Catalog. This is a job for a locksmith or door hardware pro, not a maintenance tech with a screwdriver, since you are opening the chassis and running low voltage into a live egress device.
16) For a pair of doors going under card access, do mullion stabilizers do the same thing as the QEL conversion kit?
They do not overlap at all. Falcon 525 aluminum mullion stabilizers steady the mullion in an exit device application - a structural accessory for the opening. The Von Duprin 114317-00 QEL modular conversion kit works at the device level rather than at the frame, converting a compatible AX-series exit device to quiet electric latch retraction so the latch releases on an access control signal and the door opens with minimal force. That device-level approach is the one to reach for when an electric strike is impractical or the frame cannot take a strike cutout. On a pair of doors under card access, the stabilizer question and the electrification question are answered separately.
