Von Duprin Strike Plates

Selecting Von Duprin Strike Plates and Replacement Strikes

Choose a Von Duprin strike plate by matching the installed exit device or lock and the opening configuration. Start with the complete device model, then identify the strike number from the existing part or the manufacturer's documentation. Similar-looking strikes can have different mounting arrangements and applications. For a replacement, compare the original part with the selected listing rather than relying on its finish or general shape. Keep the device and strike information together when preparing an order for several doors.

This collection includes rim strikes, vertical rod top and bottom strikes, and mortise lock strikes. Listings cover specific applications such as overlapping double doors, wood frames and selected less-bottom-rod configurations. The device type is a useful first filter, but each strike still needs to match the exact hardware and opening. Review the full compatibility information in the listing, including any restrictions on door or frame dimensions, before selecting an alternative to the original part.

For vertical rod hardware, identify whether the part you need is the top strike or bottom strike. The assortment includes models such as 283 top strikes and 248L4, 304L and 385A bottom strikes, each with its own listed applications. Rim and mortise installations use different strike arrangements, so a part listed for one device format should not be treated as a substitute for another. Compare the mounting location and installation instructions as well as the model designation.

The assortment also includes electric strikes and selected related service components. If your project requires an electric strike, use the dedicated Von Duprin electric strikes collection to compare those options, then check the lock compatibility, electrical specifications and opening configuration for the selected model. Read the product title and package contents carefully: a service component, power supply or other associated item is not a complete replacement strike. Identify the component needed before comparing finishes or prices.

Before ordering, review the mounting preparation, dimensions, finish and included hardware against the existing installation or project schedule. For an opening specified with fire exit hardware, check the manufacturer's approved device-and-strike combination for that application. Browse Von Duprin exit device parts for other replacement components, or return to the full brand collection when coordinating devices, trim and accessories. Matching the strike to the complete opening helps narrow the selection and avoids choosing a part on appearance alone.
