Von Duprin parts cover one of the most extensive commercial door hardware catalogs in North America. The brand's history starts in 1908 when Von Duprin developed the first panic exit device following the Iroquois Theatre fire in Chicago, which killed 602 people and directly triggered building code requirements for panic egress hardware. More than a century later, Von Duprin devices are still the dominant specification in hospitals, schools, government buildings, and correctional facilities across the country. Maintaining that hardware correctly requires knowing which series is installed, which component has failed, and which part number applies to your specific device generation. This guide covers every active Von Duprin series with direct links to the parts pages, the component categories inside each series, and the facts that make ordering accurate the first time.

Quick Answer

• Von Duprin produces eleven active exit device series and four electric strike series. Each series has a distinct parts catalog. Components do not cross between series.
• Always start with the model number stamped on the mechanism case or baseplate. That number drives every parts sourcing decision.
• The most widely serviced series are the 98/99 (institutional flagship), 88 (abuse-resistant), and 78 (narrow-stile glass doors).
• Electric strikes span four series: 5100 (cylindrical locks), 6100 (rim exit devices), 6200 (multi-application), and 6300 (surface mount).

Why Part Number Precision Matters More Than Brand Recognition

Here's the thing most facility managers and contractors learn the hard way: Von Duprin part numbers are series-specific and in many cases configuration-specific within the same series. A dogging spring from the 22 Series won't fit a 75 Series device. A center case kit for the 98/99 rim configuration is a different part from the center case kit for the 98/9947 CVR device.

ANSI A156.3 Grade 1 certification, which Von Duprin's top-tier devices carry, requires each component to survive 2 million operation cycles. That standard is built into the manufacturing tolerances. Getting a close-enough substitute wrong by one spec can undermine compliance on a fire-rated door and create real liability. For a full explanation of what Grade 1 certification means and why it matters for replacement parts, see the ANSI/BHMA door hardware standards guide.

Always start with the model number stamped on the mechanism case or baseplate. That number drives every sourcing decision below.

How to Find Your Von Duprin Model Number

The model number on an exit device is stamped directly on the mechanism case, which is the metal body that houses the push bar or touchbar mechanism. On rim devices, it is typically visible on the case face near the push bar mounting point. On CVR devices, look at the top case where the latch rod exits the door edge. On mortise devices, the number appears on the case body near the baseplate.

The number will start with the series designation (22, 33, 55, 75, 78, 88, 94, 98, 99) and will be followed by additional digits indicating the specific function code and configuration. That full model number is what you bring to the parts page. For a series-by-series breakdown of what each number in the Von Duprin lineup means, see the Von Duprin exit device series comparison.

Von Duprin 98/99 Series: The Flagship Exit Device

Von Duprin Hex Dogging Key Package (090085). One of the most frequently needed service items across multiple Von Duprin series. OEM part at SecurityParts.com.

The 98/99 Series is the most widely specified panic bar hardware in commercial construction. The 98 carries a smooth mechanism case, the 99 a grooved case. Every internal component is interchangeable between the two, which means a 99 Series center case kit works on a 98 Series device without modification. Configurations span rim, surface vertical rod (SVR), concealed vertical rod (CVR), wide door cable (WDC), and the 9875/9975 mortise exit device, which integrates the 7500 mortise lock body into a panic hardware chassis. This versatility is why the series appears in virtually every building type.

Key part categories include center case kits and mounting packages, dogging assemblies (hex dogging shafts, cylinder dogging kits, dogging conversion kits, dogging springs, dogging hooks and adaptors), mechanism cases, push bar guides, baseplate and cover plate hardware, end cap kits, latchbolt pins, control link pin kits, fire kits (LBR/LBL latch retrofit for fire-rated devices), vertical rod and latch assemblies, and the 7500 mortise lock component tree for mortise device configurations.

The electrified options catalog on the 98/99 is the deepest in the Von Duprin line: quiet electric latch retraction (QEL) modular conversion kits, motorized electric latch retraction (MEL), Chexit delayed egress assemblies, standard electric latch retraction (ELR) components, Allegion Connect integration modules, signal switch kits (RX/LX), and electric power transfer hardware. Trim covers lever, thumbturn, thumbpiece, night latch, and dummy trim functions across all configurations.

Von Duprin 22 Series: Grade 1 for Everyday Commercial Openings

The 22 Series carries ANSI A156.3 Grade 1 certification and handles medium to lower-traffic egress doors, employee entrances, parking stairwells, multi-family corridors, and back-of-house retail openings. Available in rim and SVR configurations.

Parts include center case kits, dogging assemblies, baseplate components, push bar kits, top and bottom latch kits, pullman latch kits, latch case cover kits, end cap kits, fire kits, vertical rod and latch hardware, and the alarm kit disarming label and retainer nut for ALK-equipped devices. Electrified options cover ALK alarm kits, QEL modular conversion kits, MEL motorized latch retraction, and request-to-exit (RX) switch kits including low-current variants. The 22 Series also includes the QM SVR Device Retrofit Kit, which converts older SVR configurations to current specifications without full device replacement.

Von Duprin 33/35A Series: Touchbar Exit Devices

The 33/35A Series replaces the push pad with a continuous touchbar running the full width of the door opening. The 35A adds an integral door position switch. Configurations run from rim and SVR through CVR, WDC, and the 360/E360 control trim variants. This series carries the second-deepest electrified options catalog after the 98/99: Chexit delayed egress, the E7500 electrified mortise lock, pneumatic (PN) options, Allegion Connect, electric power transfers, and signal switches.

Mechanical parts cover center case kits, mechanism case assemblies, dogging components (all variants including hex and cylinder conversion kits), lever arm kits, baseplate and cover plate hardware, cables, EL solenoid and plunger assemblies, EL receptacle connectors, SS housing components, fire latch kits, and push bar hardware. Trim covers lever, lever dummy, night latch, and thumbturn functions.

Von Duprin 55 Series: Mortise Exit Devices

The 55 Series integrates a full mortise lock body with panic egress hardware. It's specified on high-security perimeter doors where the architect or security consultant requires mortise lock integrity alongside code-compliant panic exit. Configurations include rim, CVR, and the 5575 mortise device. The 7500 mortise lock body is the core of this series.

Parts go deep into the mortise lock catalog: latch bolt with axle and spring assemblies, latch bolt axles, cam assemblies (right-hand and left-hand), axle retainers, spring anchors, lift members, lift member channels and levers, center case kits and mounting packages, crossbars, end case kits, lever arm kits, vertical rod components, and strikes. The soffit latch assembly and its mounting hardware are also carried in the 55 Series parts catalog.

Von Duprin 78 Series: Narrow-Stile Exit Devices

The 78 Series was engineered specifically for aluminum frame and all-glass storefront doors, where standard-width exit device bodies simply won't fit. The minimum stile width this series accommodates is 1-3/4 inches, which is exactly what commercial lobby glass doors typically require. This is the one series where ordering a component from a different line creates a guaranteed misfit. The form factor is fundamentally different from every other Von Duprin device.

Configurations run from rim and SVR through CVR and WDC. Parts cover center case kits and mounting packages, baseplate assemblies, cover plate hardware, dogging components (all variants), mechanism case parts, lever arm kits, push bar components, vertical rod and latch hardware, fire kits, end cap kits, and the full electrified options catalog including ALK, MEL, QEL modular conversion, Allegion Connect, and RX switch kits.

Von Duprin Electric Strike Parts: Four Series

Von Duprin manufactures four electric strike series, each targeting a different application and lock compatibility range. Understanding which series applies to the installed hardware is the first step before ordering any electric strike replacement part.

• 5100 Series: Medium-duty electric strike for cylindrical lock and deadlatch applications on interior and exterior doors. Not fire rated. Browse the 5100 Series parts catalog or the Von Duprin 5100 electric strike parts guide.
• 6100 Series: Heavy-duty stainless steel electric strike for rim exit device applications only. UL10C fire rated up to 3 hours on single doors. Standard 24VDC fail secure configuration. Browse the 6100 Series parts catalog or the Von Duprin 6100 electric strike parts guide.
• 6200 Series: The most versatile series in the Von Duprin electric strike lineup. 17 configurations cover cylindrical lock, mortise lock, deadlatch, and rim exit device applications. Fire rated. The correct specification when the installed hardware is anything other than a rim exit device requiring the 6100.
• 6300 Series: Heavy-duty surface-mount electric strike for rim exit device applications where flush frame mounting is not possible. Browse the 6300 Series parts catalog.

Parts across all four series include box assemblies (organized by fail mode and voltage), solenoid assemblies, strike plates, cover kits, and mounting hardware. For a complete guide covering all four Von Duprin electric strike series and how to choose between them, see the Von Duprin electric strike parts guide. Browse the full electric strikes catalog at SecurityParts.com.

54 Series Mullions

The 54 Series Mullions are the center post components for double door openings where a vertical rod device needs a strike point at the door center rather than the frame. Available in fixed and removable configurations with dedicated parts covering mounting hardware, locking assemblies, and strike components. If the opening uses a double door configuration with a center mullion and a Von Duprin vertical rod device, the 54 Series provides the mullion parts to support it.

Most Commonly Replaced Von Duprin Parts Across All Series

Across the full Von Duprin lineup, a small set of components accounts for the majority of service calls. Knowing which parts fail most often reduces diagnostic time and keeps the right inventory on hand.

• Hex dogging keys and dogging assemblies: The most universal service item across the 98/99, 22, 33/35A, 75, 78, and 88 Series. Dogging components wear or get lost regularly on high-traffic openings. Part 090085 (hex dog key, pack of 10) is the most ordered single part across multiple series.
• Center case kits: The internal mechanism housing. Fails after sustained high-cycle use. Series-specific and configuration-specific - always confirm the installed series and configuration (rim, SVR, CVR) before ordering.
• End cap kits: Damaged by impact or forced entry attempts. Available across all exit device series. Series-specific.
• Latch assemblies: Wear on high-use openings. Fire kits with LBR/LBL latches are required on fire-rated assemblies. Non-fire-rated latches cannot be substituted on fire door assemblies.
• Dogging springs and shafts: Fail with heavy use on dogged openings. Hex dogging and cylinder dogging variants are not interchangeable.
• Vertical rod kits: Wear on SVR/CVR installations. Height-specific on the 88 Series (standard, 8-10 foot, 10-12 foot door extensions).

Getting the Right Von Duprin Part Without the Guesswork

The size of the Von Duprin catalog is exactly why model-specific sourcing matters so much. Security Parts organizes the full Von Duprin parts catalog by series, then by model within each series, then by component category within each model. Interactive parts diagrams on every model page let you confirm a component visually against the actual device assembly before anything goes to cart.

The platform carries legacy models alongside current-generation hardware. Commercial buildings aren't running uniform recent-vintage hardware across all openings, and the cross-generation depth at Security Parts reflects that reality. For a practical overview of every active Von Duprin series and how their applications differ, see the Von Duprin panic bar selection guide. For the full exit device catalog by series, see the exit devices catalog.
