Von Duprin Exit Devices, Strikes & Parts

Choosing Von Duprin Exit Devices and Replacement Parts

Von Duprin hardware is commonly used on commercial and institutional openings where reliable egress hardware and serviceable components are important. Start by identifying the existing or specified exit-device family, the opening configuration, and the function required. Device series, door width, handing, trim function, and mounting details can affect compatibility, so those details should be confirmed before selecting a complete device or replacement component.

Rim exit devices and vertical-rod systems use different latching arrangements and related parts. The collection includes center cases, covers, strikes, latch and rod components, trim parts, conversion hardware, and other service items used with Von Duprin exit-device families. When repairing an existing opening, compare the device series and component reference shown on the product page rather than relying only on appearance, because similar-looking parts can be designed for different device generations or configurations.

Electric latch retraction and QEL conversion components add another compatibility layer. Retrofit kits, baseplates, modular conversion kits, and related electrical hardware may be specific to device length, series, voltage, or existing internal components. Review the individual product specifications and installation requirements carefully when upgrading an existing mechanical exit device or replacing an electrical component.

Smaller replacement parts such as center-case covers, end caps, dogging kits, backplates, cable kits, latch components, and related hardware can keep an existing exit device in service without replacing the entire assembly. Exact identification matters for these repairs. Confirm dimensions, series references, handing where applicable, finish, and whether the part is intended for a fire-rated or non-fire-rated device before ordering.

Commercial openings can also have project-specific life-safety, accessibility, fire-rating, and electrical requirements. A component that fits mechanically is not automatically suitable for every opening. Use the manufacturer information and product specifications to verify the intended application, and make sure any fire-rated opening uses components appropriate for that listed assembly.
