Von Duprin 090005 Dog Key 5/32 Hex 227 Exit Device 2 Pack

Product Description

The VON DUPRIN 090005 is a pack of two 5/32 hex dog keys designed for use with Von Duprin 227 series exit devices. This small but essential tool allows service technicians to dog down — or hold retracted — the latch on compatible exit hardware, a function required during scheduled maintenance, routine inspections, and timed door-hold applications. The key measures 3.25 inches in length and 1 inch in width, with a profile height of 0.25 inches, making it compact enough for a standard tool pouch. Each pack contains two keys, providing a spare on the job or coverage across multiple doors on the same service call.

This dog key is used in commercial and institutional buildings where Von Duprin 227 series exit devices are installed on interior or exterior egress doors. Typical applications include schools, hospitals, office buildings, and government facilities. Door hardware technicians and licensed locksmiths are the primary installers and service professionals who keep these keys on hand as standard service items for Von Duprin panic hardware maintenance programs.

Compatibility

Designed for use with the Von Duprin 227 series exit device. Refer to the device documentation or contact the manufacturer to confirm fitment with specific door hardware configurations.

Installation Notes

Dog keys are handled by door hardware technicians and licensed locksmiths familiar with panic exit hardware. Before dogging down an exit device, verify that applicable life safety codes and local AHJ requirements permit the use of a dogged latch on that door. Never dog down exit hardware on a fire-rated door assembly unless the device is specifically listed and approved for that application. Keep a spare key on hand, as this is a small item that can be misplaced during service calls.
