Von Duprin 050117 US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which Von Duprin exit devices does the 050117 hex dogging conversion kit fit?
The 050117 kit is built for Von Duprin 35A and 98 Series exit devices. It is a genuine Von Duprin replacement component, so it drops into those devices without modification. It is not intended for other Von Duprin series or for another manufacturer's device.
2) What does hex dogging actually do on an exit device?
Hex dogging holds the latchbolt in the retracted position, so the door pushes and pulls freely without anyone having to press the push bar. Schools and offices use it to leave doors in free operation during business hours and then undog them at close. The 050117 kit adds that capability to a 35A or 98 device that did not come with it.
3) My exit device is fire rated - can I use the 050117 dogging kit?
No. The Von Duprin 050117 hex dogging conversion kit carries a fire rating of No, and dogging is not permitted on fire rated exit devices because the latch must stay projected at all times. If the opening is fire rated, plan on a non-dogging replacement part instead - Falcon's T Series 2-3/8 inch square corner deadlatch replacement part and the Accentra 7110F top latch replacement component are examples of latching components sold for exit devices rather than dogging conversions. Check the device label before specifying.
4) I need to hold a pair of doors open - is a hex dogging kit or a mullion the right part?
They solve different problems. The Von Duprin 050117 hex dogging conversion kit lets the latchbolt on a 35A or 98 Series device be held retracted so the door pushes and pulls freely during open hours. A mullion, such as the Falcon 4023 steel mullion for double door exit device applications, is a vertical post between a pair of doors that gives rim devices something to latch into - it is structural, not a dogging control. If you want free push/pull on an existing Von Duprin device, the 050117 is the part; if you are setting up a double-door rim device opening, you need the mullion.
5) Will the Von Duprin 050117 hex dogging kit work on a Falcon or Accentra exit device?
No. The Von Duprin 050117 hex dogging conversion kit is built for Von Duprin 35A and 98 Series exit devices only, and its parts are matched to that chassis. Other brands' exit device components are not interchangeable with it - for example the Accentra 7110/7120 top latch replacement component serves Accentra 7110/7120 devices, and the Falcon 610061 top rod is made for Falcon 24 Series F-25-C and F-25-CWDC concealed vertical rod devices. Confirm the device brand and series stamped on the push bar or end cap before ordering a dogging kit.
6) What finishes does the Von Duprin 050117 dogging kit come in, and should it match my device?
Eight finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 625 bright chrome, 628 aluminum, 630 satin stainless, 710 dark bronze and 711 flat black. Order the finish that matches the exit device the kit is going into, since the dogging hardware sits on the visible face of the push bar end cap.
7) Is the 050117 rated for high traffic commercial doors?
Yes. It is a Grade 1, commercial-rated part, which is the heaviest duty level in the ANSI/BHMA scheme and what most schools, hospitals and office buildings specify on egress doors.
8) Do I need a special tool to dog the door after installing this kit?
Hex dogging is operated with an Allen wrench, not a key or a thumbturn. Turn the hex screw to hold the bar down and the latch retracted, reverse it to release. If you want keyed or cylinder dogging instead so only authorized staff can hold the door open, this is not the kit for that.
9) What is the difference between the 050117 dogging kit and a cylinder dogging setup?
The Von Duprin 050117 is a hex dogging conversion: a hex key is used to hold the latchbolt retracted on a 35A or 98 Series device, so anyone with the wrench can dog the door. Cylinder dogging instead uses a keyed cylinder housing so only a keyholder can dog it - an example of that style of component is the Arrow 16RCR-27 SFIC rim housing, a 6/7-pin small format interchangeable core housing from the 24/25 Series. For schools and other buildings where you want dogging restricted to staff keys, the keyed route is the one to spec; for maintenance-controlled openings, the hex kit is simpler.
10) Is the Von Duprin 050117 a commercial Grade 1 part like other exit device accessories?
Yes. The Von Duprin 050117 hex dogging conversion kit is rated Grade 1 and classified as a commercial replacement part for 35A and 98 Series exit devices, and it is offered in eight finishes including 630 satin stainless steel, 628 aluminum and 711 flat black. Adjacent exit device accessories in other lines cover different needs on the opening - the Falcon 525 aluminum mullion stabilizers, for instance, are mullion accessories rather than device internals. Match the part to the function you need, then match the finish to the rest of the hardware.
