Von Duprin 972408 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) My exit device rod is loose and the top latch is not catching. Is the rod connector screw the part I need?
If the rod itself is straight and the latch is undamaged, a loose or missing rod connector screw is a common cause, and the 972408 is the fastener for that joint on 33 and 35 Series devices. If the rod is bent or the top latch mechanism is worn, you need the rod or latch assembly instead, not just the screw.
2) Can a Falcon exit device rod part be used in place of the Von Duprin 972408 rod connector screw?
No. The Von Duprin 972408 is a rod connector screw made for Von Duprin 33 and 35 Series exit devices, and Falcon rod components are built to their own series. The Falcon 610061 top rod, for example, is a concealed vertical top rod for the 24 Series Monarch F-25-C and F-25-CWDC devices, so it serves a different device family and a different function in the rod assembly. Keep Von Duprin 33/35 Series service to Von Duprin parts.
3) Do I need a genuine Von Duprin screw, or will a hardware store machine screw work?
Use the genuine part. The 972408 is made to Von Duprin's original specification for 33 and 35 Series rod connector assemblies, and the rod connection is what carries latching motion to the top and bottom latches. A substitute screw of the wrong length or thread lets the rod shift and the device stops latching reliably.
4) What if I need a replacement rod or latch rather than a connector screw?
Different part entirely. A connector screw only joins the rod assembly. For a top latch replacement on an Accentra 7110/7120 device, the Accentra 7110/7120 top latch replacement component is the corresponding item, and for a Falcon 24 Series Monarch concealed vertical device, Falcon part 610061 is the concealed vertical top rod for F-25-C and F-25-CWDC devices. Match the part to your device brand and series, not just to the symptom.
5) Is the Von Duprin 972408 rod connector screw a fire-rated part?
The Von Duprin 972408 rod connector screw carries no fire rating, though it is a Grade 1 commercial replacement part for 33 and 35 Series exit devices. Among comparable exit device service parts, the Accentra 7110/7120 and 7110F top latch replacement components are likewise carried without a fire rating. If a labeled opening is involved, confirm the device assembly's own label listing before servicing.
6) Is this screw suitable for a high traffic commercial door, like a school or hospital exit?
Yes. The 972408 is a commercial-grade part held to the Grade 1 standard of the 33/35 Series hardware it serves, which is the grade specified for high traffic openings in schools, hospitals, offices and government buildings.
7) Will a mullion or mullion stabilizer solve a loose rod connection on a 33 or 35 Series exit device?
No. The Von Duprin 972408 rod connector screw is the part that secures the rod assembly connection inside a 33 or 35 Series device. Mullion products address the opening rather than the device internals: the Falcon 4023 is a steel mullion for double door exit device applications and the Falcon 525 is an aluminum mullion stabilizer for exit devices. They stabilize or divide the pair of doors, not the rod linkage.
8) Does the Von Duprin 972408 have anything to do with rekeying a rim exit device?
No. The 972408 is a rod connector screw for the rod assembly on Von Duprin 33 and 35 Series exit devices and has no cylinder function. Keying work on a rim device uses a cylinder housing instead, such as the Arrow 16RCR-27 SFIC rim housing for 6/7-pin cores in the 24/25 Series. Order the screw for mechanical rod service and the rim housing for keying.
