Falcon 1494NL-P 36IN US28 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does night latch function mean on this Falcon exit device, and can someone get in from outside?
With the NL function, a key in the outside rim cylinder retracts the latch so you can pull the door open, but it does not unlock or dog the device. Release the key and it relatches. Outside trim is a pull only, so there is no lever or thumbturn to leave the door unsecured. Anyone without a key exits freely from the inside and stays out from the outside.
2) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Falcon 1494NL-P?
Yes. Handing is a required selection, RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse). Exit devices are always reverse bevel because the door swings out in the direction of egress, so stand outside the door and note which side the hinges are on before you order.
3) Does the bottom rod have to be removed on this concealed vertical rod device?
Per the latch spec, the 1494NL-P needs to be supplied less bottom rod (LBR). The standard top arrangement uses an RL rod latch, with a hex bottom latch standard on the EL electric latch retraction version. A PL Pullman bottom latch and an ES electric strike top latch are optional. LBR is common on aluminum doors where floor conditions or carpet make a bottom latch unreliable, and it means the top latch carries security by itself.
4) Can I tie the Falcon 1490 Series into an access control or card reader system?
Yes. Order the EL option for electric latch retraction, which lets a reader or building system pull the latch back for remote entry. For monitoring only, the S option adds a signal switch that reports latch bolt position back to your panel. Both come in all three finishes: 628 aluminum anodized, DC13 dark bronze anodized and DC35 black anodized.
5) I need a fire-rated concealed vertical rod device. Is the Falcon 1494NL-P the wrong choice?
The Falcon 1494NL-P is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 and is offered with a hurricane device option, but for a fire-rated opening look to a device listed as fire rated. The Adams Rite 3600 Series and 3900 Series are both Grade 1 fire-rated concealed vertical rod devices for hollow metal doors, the 3900 carrying a 1-1/2 hour rating, and the Sargent 12-MD8613 is a fire-rated Grade 1 classroom function device. All three are wide stile.
6) Which concealed vertical rod devices look like substitutes for the Falcon 1494NL-P but will not work on a narrow stile aluminum door?
Several concealed vertical rod devices share the rod design but not the stile. The Adams Rite 3600, 3900 and 8500 Series, the Corbin Russwin ED5800, the BEST Precision 2801 Series, the DORMA 9100 Series and the Sargent 12-MD8613 are all wide stile devices. The BEST Precision 2701 Series is wide stile for wood doors. The Falcon 1494NL-P is a narrow stile device for 1-3/4 inch aluminum doors, so those wide stile models are not drop-in replacements.
7) What strike do I need at the head for the Falcon 1494NL-P?
The top latch engages a PB48 strike at the header. If the frame is already prepped for a different strike, plan on new frame prep. Where you want the top latch to release electrically instead, the ES electric strike top latch is an option.
8) Is there a hurricane rated version of this Falcon narrow stile exit device?
The HH hurricane device option is available and is intended for coastal work, but it applies only when used with select door manufacturers, so confirm your door maker's approved hardware list before specifying it. HH is offered in all three anodized finishes.
9) How far does the Falcon 1494NL-P stick out from the door face?
Projection is 2-3/4 inches, which matters on vestibules and tight door pockets where two leaves swing toward each other or where a device could foul a side wall. All mounting screws are concealed, so there is no exposed fastener for someone to attack from the push side.
10) I only need free egress with no outside key access. Is the 1494NL-P the wrong device?
It is more device than you need. The NL-P carries a rim cylinder and pull for keyed outside entry. For egress only, look at an exit-only device such as the Von Duprin 3347A-EO, which is narrow stile Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors and supplied less bottom rod, or the BEST Precision 2601 Series, a non-handed narrow stile exit-only concealed vertical rod device. Non-handed also removes the handing decision from the order.
11) Does the Falcon 1494NL-P need to be ordered handed, and is there a non-handed concealed vertical rod option?
The Falcon 1494NL-P is ordered by hand, RHR or LHR. If a non-handed device simplifies stocking, the BEST Precision 2601 Series is a non-handed narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit device, the CRL Jackson 1085 Series is a non-handed concealed vertical rod panic device in 48 inch, and the BEST Precision 2701 Series is a reversible wide stile device for wood doors.
12) Is there a concealed vertical rod panic device that fits narrow, medium and wide stile doors?
The CRL Jackson 1285 push pad concealed vertical rod panic exit is listed for narrow, medium or wide stile doors in exit only function. The Falcon 1494NL-P is a narrow stile device specifically, supplied with night latch and pull trim rather than exit only.
13) Can I standardize finishes across a storefront using Falcon 1490 Series devices?
Three anodized finishes cover it: 628 aluminum anodized, DC13 dark bronze anodized and DC35 black anodized, which match the usual clear, dark bronze and black storefront framing. Each finish is available across all four device configurations (plain, EL, HH and S), so a building with mixed access control and mechanical openings still reads the same visually.
