Von Duprin 26419 Vertical Top Rod Strike Matte Black

Product Description

The VON DUPRIN 26419 is a vertical top rod strike designed for use with vertical rod exit device systems in commercial door hardware applications. This strike receives the top rod of a vertical rod exit device, securing the door at the top frame when the device is engaged. Finished in 622 matte black, it provides a clean, low-sheen appearance suited to modern commercial interiors. At 4 inches in length, 2 inches in width, and 0.6 inches in height, the 26419 is a compact, purpose-built strike component weighing 0.2 pounds.
