Von Duprin 051802313 Extension Rod Kit 36 in Dark Bronze

Product Description

The VON DUPRIN 051802313 is a 36-inch extension rod kit designed for use with Von Duprin 9927 and 9957 series exit devices. Extension rods connect the top or bottom rod assembly to the latch bolt mechanism on a door, allowing a vertical rod exit device to secure the door at multiple points. This kit ships in a 710 Dark Bronze finish, making it suitable for installations where finish matching to door hardware is required. Licensed door hardware technicians and commercial locksmiths are the primary installers. The kit ships as a single unit and weighs 0.6 pounds.

This extension rod kit is intended for commercial door applications where Von Duprin 9927 or 9957 series vertical rod exit devices are installed. These exit devices are commonly found in public buildings, schools, offices, and other commercial facilities where code-compliant emergency egress hardware is required. The 710 Dark Bronze finish is a standard architectural finish designation used across Von Duprin hardware lines, allowing for consistent finish coordination on paired or adjacent doors.
