Von Duprin has made some excellent exit devices in the past 100 years, and many of them are still in operation today. The Von Duprin 44 was discontinued in the 1980’s, but we still have some of them in stock. Many of them have been stripped for parts, but we still have lever arms, 4427 Surface Vertical Rod Active Housings, Inactive Housings, End Plugs, Rod Guides, and a few Soffit Latches. If you have an old Von Duprin 44, and are in need of parts, uou can call us at 1-800-642-2403 and speak to our Exit Device Experts.

We no longer have any parts left in stock, sorry!
Hi, at the church we have a von duprin 44 system on one exit door, the hardware seems to be all there and exit is easy, but the top latch does not make sense and is not secure. I am trying to find a parts sketch or installation instructions on this. Can you please help?

Winston,
I just emailed the installation instructions on the Von Duprin 4427. Hopefully this helps.

Hello, we have a Von Drupin 44. Does this use an exterior opener (handle with lock) and the big question would be if do you have any? I would need it for one door.
Our church Von Durprin 44 latch will barely stay in the open position when the hex screw is tightened with the bar pushed in, and in fact the screw may be partially stripped. Is there a diagram that shows how this latch works?
Rick,
The arms are just cast or milled aluminum, so the dog screws might be stripped. I still have some arms, they the $25.00 ea, but I only have them in a gold color, so you might have to paint them. I would take your existing arm off and see if the pocket were the dog screw fits into is wallowed out. If the pocket is wallowed out I would use the panic bar retainer, specifically the D100 model, shown here: https://www.rbadoor.com/quiet-doorman-panic-bar-retainer-for-1-diameter-bars.html. I do not have any parts breakdowns on this exit device.

We have a Von Duprin 44 on one of our exit doors. The bracket (hinge side) just flops around. Should there be a spring in this bracket to push the bar away from the door. Fire inspector says we need to repair this. Where can I get a replacement bracket?
Ron,
I do not have any of the springs, I only have the Hinge Case (Bracket) with the spring in it.
