Von Duprin 05013228 Cylinder Dogging Conversion Kit

Product Description

The VON DUPRIN 05013228 is a cylinder dogging conversion kit designed to upgrade compatible exit device crossbars from standard dogging to key-operated cylinder dogging. Cylinder dogging allows a keyed cylinder to hold the crossbar in the depressed position, keeping the latch retracted without requiring repeated push-bar activation. This kit fits 3-foot and 4-foot device configurations and ships in a 628 anodized aluminum finish. It is installed by licensed door hardware technicians and locksmiths working on commercial exit hardware in public or institutional buildings where hands-free egress is required during business hours.

This conversion kit is intended for use with Von Duprin 98 and 35 series exit devices in 3-foot or 4-foot configurations. It is a common upgrade in high-traffic public buildings such as schools, offices, and retail facilities where door hardware must meet both life-safety codes and daily operational convenience. The 628 anodized aluminum finish provides a clean, durable appearance consistent with standard commercial door hardware finishes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed door hardware technician or qualified locksmith familiar with panic exit device hardware. Ensure the door is secured open and all tension is relieved from the exit device crossbar before beginning disassembly. Consult applicable building and fire codes, including IBC and NFPA 101, to confirm cylinder dogging is permitted for the door application prior to installation. Do not force components during assembly, as exit device housings and cylinder bores are precision-fitted.
