Von Duprin 50491 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Von Duprin 50491 shock absorber fit my 99 Series rim exit device?
Yes. The 50491 shock absorber package is built for the Von Duprin 33, 35, 98 and 99 Series exit devices, so a 99 Series device is one of the four families it is made for. It is a genuine Von Duprin replacement component, so it drops into the device assembly it was designed around rather than being an aftermarket approximation.
2) My exit device is an Accentra or a Falcon, not a Von Duprin. Can I use the 50491?
No. The 50491 shock absorber is a Von Duprin part cut for the 33, 35, 98 and 99 Series and will not serve another manufacturer's device. Go to that brand's own parts instead: for Accentra 7110/7120 and 7110F devices there are brand-specific top latch replacement components, and Falcon publishes its own service parts such as the 610061 concealed vertical top rod for the 24 Series Monarch F-25-C and F-25-CWDC. Exit device internals are not cross-brand interchangeable.
3) Can an Accentra exit device latch part be used in place of the Von Duprin 50491 shock absorber package?
No. The Von Duprin 50491 is a shock absorber package built for Von Duprin 33, 35, 98 and 99 Series exit devices, and internal exit device parts are matched to the device family they were made for. The Accentra 7110/7120 exit device top latch replacement component and the Accentra 7110F exit device top latch replacement component are latching parts for Accentra 7110, 7120 and 7110F devices, so they address a different function on a different device line. Match the replacement part to the device already on the door.
4) What does the shock absorber in a Von Duprin exit device actually do, and when should I replace it?
The shock absorber cushions the push bar at the end of its travel, which is what keeps a Von Duprin 33/35/98/99 device from slamming and hammering itself on every use. When it wears out you get a harsher, noisier stroke and accelerated wear on the rest of the mechanism. Swapping in the 50491 package restores proper device function and extends the service life of the parent device, which is the usual reason a maintenance tech pulls one rather than replacing the whole exit device.
5) Is the Von Duprin 50491 rated for a high-traffic commercial opening or is it a light-duty part?
Grade 1, and specified as commercial hardware. That is the top ANSI/BHMA durability tier for door hardware, which is the level a school corridor, hospital exit or stadium-traffic opening needs. If you are standardizing maintenance parts across a facility of Von Duprin 33/35/98/99 devices, this is the same duty class as the devices themselves.
6) Do I order the Von Duprin 50491 once per device or once per pair of doors?
One 50491 package per exit device. It is sold as a single model, 050491, with no length, handing or finish choice to specify, so a pair of doors with a device on each leaf takes two. There is nothing else to select on the order beyond quantity.
7) Is the Von Duprin 50491 a complete exit device or just a service part?
Service part only. The 50491 is the shock absorber package, a component that goes into an existing Von Duprin 33, 35, 98 or 99 Series device. It does not include the push bar, latch, rods, trim or strike. If the device itself is past saving, you are buying a complete 33/35/98/99 device, not this package.
8) Our double doors need hardware between the leaves, not an exit device repair part. What should we order?
A mullion, not the Von Duprin 50491. The Falcon 4023 is a steel mullion for double door exit device applications, and the Falcon 525 aluminum mullion stabilizers are accessories for exit device mullions. The Von Duprin 50491 shock absorber package is a replacement component that goes into an existing Von Duprin 33, 35, 98 or 99 Series device on a single leaf, so it does nothing for the gap between a pair of doors.
9) If the exit device latch is not retracting cleanly, is the shock absorber package the right fix or is it a deadlatch part?
They are different repairs. The Von Duprin 50491 shock absorber package is a replacement part for Von Duprin 33, 35, 98 and 99 Series devices and addresses the push bar return and impact, not the latch itself. On a Falcon T Series device, the 23981160 is a 2-3/8 inch square corner deadlatch replacement part, which is the latch body. Diagnose whether the complaint is at the latch or at the touchpad travel, then order the part for that device family.
10) We are rekeying the rim cylinder on an exit device. Does the 50491 shock absorber package cover that?
No. The Von Duprin 50491 shock absorber package is a mechanical replacement component for Von Duprin 33, 35, 98 and 99 Series exit devices and has nothing to do with keying. For small format interchangeable core work on a rim device, the Arrow 16RCR-27 is a 6/7-pin SFIC rim housing in the Arrow 24/25 Series. Cylinder housings and device repair parts are ordered separately.
11) Can I install the Von Duprin 50491 shock absorber myself or do I need a locksmith?
It is a field-serviceable component swap on a 33/35/98/99 Series device, the kind of work a building maintenance tech does with the device on the door. What it does not change is the opening: no new door prep, no new strike, no rod cutting. If the door is a fire-rated opening, the device on it has to stay as originally listed, so use genuine Von Duprin parts and keep the assembly intact.
12) The opening is a fire rated door. Does the 50491 shock absorber package carry a fire rating?
The Von Duprin 50491 shock absorber package is a commercial Grade 1 replacement part for 33, 35, 98 and 99 Series exit devices and is not a fire rated item on its own. The Accentra 7110/7120 and 7110F exit device top latch replacement components are likewise not fire rated items. On a labeled opening, the rating is carried by the exit device and door assembly as listed, so confirm the device label before servicing.
