Frequently asked questions
Common questions about VON DUPRIN from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between the Von Duprin 6210 24V US32D CON and other mortise electric strikes?
The Von Duprin 6210 24V US32D CON is a mortise electric strike with a stainless steel construction, measuring 1 1/4 in wide by 4 7/8 in high. It operates on 24V DC input and has a Performance Duty Rating of 1 (Heavy Duty). Other mortise electric strikes in the Von Duprin line may have different voltage inputs, such as 12V AC/DC or 24V AC/DC, and may vary in finish. The 6210 model is specifically designed for access control systems where a 24V DC power source is available. When selecting a strike, it is important to match the voltage and fail-safe/fail-secure configuration to the existing system. The 6210 is suitable for high-traffic commercial and industrial doors.
Are Von Duprin E7500 deadlatches ADA compliant?
Yes, the Von Duprin E7500 deadlatch, such as the E7500 24V US32D FSE, is ADA compliant. This deadlatch is designed for use with exit push bars on commercial doors. ADA compliance means it meets the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act for accessible design, which includes operable parts and force requirements. The E7500 is constructed of stainless steel and is available in different finishes. It is suitable for securing doors in commercial and industrial facilities where ADA compliance is required. When specifying a deadlatch, confirm that the exit device it pairs with is also compatible and that the installation meets local accessibility codes.
What finishes are available for Von Duprin classroom lever locksets?
Von Duprin classroom lever locksets are available in finishes such as Dark Oxidized Satin Bronze, Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B) and Satin Stainless Steel (US32D). For example, the 7500 US10B has a dark oxidized satin bronze, oil rubbed bronze finish, while the 7500 US32D has a satin stainless steel finish. These locksets feature a 98/99 rose style and are designed for interior doors in educational or commercial settings. The finish affects both appearance and durability; stainless steel offers corrosion resistance, while oil-rubbed bronze provides a traditional look. When ordering, specify the desired finish to match the door hardware schedule. Note that these locksets are not ADA compliant and not ligature-resistant.
What voltage options are available for Von Duprin mortise electric strikes?
Von Duprin mortise electric strikes are available with different input voltage options, including 12V AC/DC, 24V AC/DC, and 24V DC. For instance, the 6210 24V US32D CON operates on 24V DC, while other models may use 12V AC/DC or 24V AC/DC. The voltage must match the output of the access control system or power supply. Using the wrong voltage can damage the strike or cause unreliable operation. Always verify the voltage requirement before ordering. The strikes are rated heavy duty (Performance Duty Rating 1) and are constructed of stainless steel. They are designed for mortise applications in commercial and industrial doors.
Can Von Duprin storeroom lever locksets be used on exterior doors?
Von Duprin storeroom lever locksets, such as the E7500 24V US10B FSE, are typically designed for interior doors requiring key access from the outside and free egress from the inside. While they can be installed on exterior doors in some cases, it is important to consider environmental exposure and the finish. The E7500 24V US10B FSE has a dark oxidized satin bronze, oil rubbed bronze finish, which may not be ideal for harsh weather unless properly maintained. For exterior applications, a stainless steel finish might be more durable. Additionally, check that the lockset is compatible with the door type and that it meets any building code requirements for egress. These locksets are not ADA compliant and not ligature-resistant.
What is the Performance Duty Rating for Von Duprin electric strikes?
Von Duprin electric strikes, such as the mortise models listed, carry a Performance Duty Rating of 1, which indicates heavy-duty performance. This rating is based on cycle testing and is suitable for high-traffic commercial and industrial applications. A rating of 1 means the strike is designed to withstand frequent use without failure. When specifying an electric strike, consider the duty rating along with the voltage, fail-safe/fail-secure operation, and door frame preparation. The heavy-duty rating makes these strikes appropriate for schools, hospitals, and other facilities where doors are operated many times per day. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for exact cycle counts and installation requirements.
