1. A retention system for a vertical rod door latch comprising:
a vertical rod door latch having a rod with an end;
a carrier housing for securing the rod end to an actuator to move the vertical rod door latch between engaged and disengaged positions, the carrier housing having an opening for receiving the rod end and a securing member for mechanically engaging the rod end, a securing member slot extending transversely through the securing member;
the carrier housing having a threaded opening for receiving a set screw;
the set screw having threads received in the housing threaded opening, the set screw being rotatable such that upon tightening of the screw, the set screw applies a force to urge the securing member against the rod end to retain the rod in the carrier housing; and
a pin anchored within a second opening of the carrier housing and extending through the securing member slot to limit movement of the securing member in a direction normal to a longitudinal axis of the rod.
