Von Duprin 050171 Fire Latch and Strike Kit

Product Description

The VON DUPRIN 050171 is a less-bottom-rod fire latch and strike kit designed for use with compatible exit device assemblies in commercial door hardware applications. This kit supplies the latch and strike components needed when a bottom rod is not required, simplifying the exit device configuration while maintaining fire-rated door compliance. Weighing 0.33 pounds and measuring approximately 9.6 inches in length, 5 inches in width, and 2.9 inches in height, it is a compact, purpose-built hardware set. Licensed door hardware specialists and commercial locksmiths are the typical installers.

This kit is suited for commercial and institutional buildings where exit devices are installed on fire-rated single doors that do not require bottom rod engagement. Typical applications include office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and other public occupancy structures where code-compliant egress hardware is required. The less-bottom-rod configuration is commonly specified when a door does not have a floor strike or threshold condition requiring a bottom latch point.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed door hardware technician or commercial locksmith familiar with exit device hardware and applicable building codes. Ensure the door and frame are de-latched and the exit device is fully disengaged before beginning work. Reference NFPA 80 requirements for fire door hardware installation and confirm the final assembly meets the listing requirements of the door assembly. Do not modify latch geometry or strike position beyond manufacturer-specified adjustments.
