Falcon 1495HB-P 48IN US28 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon 1495HB-P concealed vertical rod exit device fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
That's exactly the opening it's built for. The 1495HB-P is a narrow stile device for 1-3/4 inch aluminum doors, with the vertical rods concealed inside the stile. Door thickness is a single value, not a range, so on anything other than a 1-3/4 inch leaf it's the wrong device. The device case projects 2-3/4 inches off the face of the door, which is what you need to clear for door swing, closer arms and adjacent walls.
2) What does the HB hold back cylinder do on a Falcon 1495HB-P exit device?
Key access from the outside, plus the ability to leave the door unlocked. Turning the key retracts the latch, and the hold back feature keeps it retracted so the door stays in a push-pull condition for business hours, then a key turn the other way releases it. The outside trim on this configuration is a pull only, not a lever or knob, so the cylinder is the only thing that operates the latch from the exterior.
3) Does a Falcon 1495 exit device need less bottom rod, and what bottom latch do I order?
The 1495 is set up as a less bottom rod device, so there's no rod running down to a threshold strike and nothing sitting in the sill to collect dirt or get kicked out of adjustment. Bottom latch choices are RL rod bottom latch as standard, hex bottom latch as standard when you take the EL electric latch retraction option, and PL Pullman bottom latch as an option. An ES electric strike top latch is also available. Top strike is the PB48.
4) Is the Falcon 1495HB-P handed, and how do I determine which hand to order?
Handing is required at the time of order, and the two choices are RHR right hand reverse and LHR left hand reverse. Exit devices are always on out-swinging doors, which is why both options are reverse bevel. Stand outside the opening: if the hinges are on your right and the door swings toward you, that's RHR. Get it wrong and the cylinder and pull land on the wrong end of the device.
5) Can I get a Falcon narrow stile concealed vertical rod device with electric latch retraction for an access control system?
Yes. EL electric latch retraction is one of the device options on the 1495HB-P, which lets a card reader or remote release pull the latch back and leave the door in push-pull until the system re-locks it. If you only need to know whether the door is secure rather than to release it remotely, take the S option instead, a signal switch that monitors the latch bolt and reports its position back to the panel. Both are available in all three finishes: dark bronze anodized, black anodized, and clear aluminum anodized. Note that when you take EL, the bottom latch changes to the hex bottom latch as standard.
6) Is the Falcon 1495HB-P Grade 1, and can I use it on a hurricane rated opening?
Grade 1 to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2001. For coastal work, the HH hurricane device option is orderable in all three finishes, and the 1490 Series provides hurricane rated openings when used with select door manufacturers, so the rating belongs to the door and device together rather than to the device alone. Confirm the pairing with your door manufacturer before you specify it on a permit set.
7) What is the closest alternative to a Falcon 1495 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device from another brand?
For a narrow stile aluminum door with concealed rods, the direct peers are the Von Duprin 3347A, the Von Duprin 7547, and the Corbin Russwin ED4800, all Grade 1 and all listed for 1-3/4 inch doors like the Falcon. The Adams Rite 8600 Series is another narrow stile concealed rod device built for aluminum doors. If you prefer a crossbar to a touchbar, the Corbin Russwin ED7800 and the Von Duprin 5547 are the narrow stile crossbar versions. What none of these carry is the Falcon's hold back cylinder function, so if the point is keying the door open for the day, check the trim function on the substitute.
8) My opening is a hollow metal or wood door, not aluminum. Can I still use the Falcon 1495HB-P?
No. The 1495HB-P is a narrow stile device sized to a 1-3/4 inch aluminum door and it won't suit a wide stile hollow metal or wood leaf. For hollow metal, the Adams Rite 8500 Series and the Adams Rite 3600 Series are wide stile concealed rod devices built for those doors. For wood doors, the BEST Precision 2701 Series is the wide stile reversible option. The DORMA 9100 Series is another wide stile concealed rod device, and it covers a 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch thickness range if your leaf is thicker than standard.
9) The door needs to be fire rated. Can the Falcon 1495HB-P be used, and what are the fire rated concealed vertical rod options?
The Falcon 1495HB-P is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2001 Grade 1 for panic egress. Where the opening is a labeled fire door, specify a device carried as fire rated: the Adams Rite 3600 Series and the Adams Rite 3900 Series are both Grade 1 fire rated concealed vertical rod devices, with the 3900 Series carrying a 1-1/2 hour rating, and the Sargent 12-MD8613 is a Grade 1 fire rated concealed vertical rod device in classroom function. All three are wide stile devices, so the door construction has to suit that as well.
10) We do not need keyed exterior access on this door, only egress. What is a simpler alternative to the Falcon 1495HB-P?
The Falcon 1495HB-P carries a hold back cylinder and pull trim so a key can retract and hold the latch back for exterior access. If the door only has to let people out, an exit only device drops the cylinder and trim entirely. The Von Duprin 3347A-EO is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device in exit only function, supplied less bottom rod, and the BEST Precision 2601 Series is a narrow stile exit only concealed vertical rod device that is non-handed, which removes the handing call at order time.
11) The doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inch. Is there a concealed vertical rod device that covers a wider thickness range than the Falcon 1495HB-P?
The Falcon 1495HB-P is built for a 1-3/4 inch door. For a thicker leaf, the DORMA 9600BB Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile pushpad concealed vertical rod device covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the DORMA 9100 Series covers the same 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch range in a wide stile pushpad configuration. Match the stile type to the door before choosing between them.
12) Should I use a concealed vertical rod device or a rim device on my aluminum door?
Concealed vertical rod is the choice when you have a pair of doors with no center mullion, or when you want nothing showing on the face of the door. The rods run inside the stile and the device latches at the head, so each leaf secures independently. A rim device latches into a strike on the frame or on a removable mullion, so on a pair you'd have to add the mullion. Concealed rod also asks more of the door: the stile has to be prepped and routed for the rods, so it's easiest to specify on new aluminum doors rather than retrofitting a leaf that was never machined for it.
13) Which concealed vertical rod devices use a crossbar instead of a touch bar like the Falcon 1495HB-P?
The Falcon 1495HB-P is a touch bar device on a narrow stile aluminum door. Where a crossbar actuator is wanted on the same style of opening, the Von Duprin 5547 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED7800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar concealed vertical rod device at 1-3/4 inch that accepts operator trim. Both keep the narrow stile fit and change how the device is pushed.
14) Can a CRL Jackson 1285 be used in place of the Falcon 1495HB-P?
They are not the same device. The CRL Jackson 1285 is a push pad concealed vertical rod panic exit in exit only function, fitting narrow, medium or wide stile doors. The Falcon 1495HB-P is a narrow stile device supplied with a hold back cylinder and pull trim, so it gives keyed exterior access that an exit only device does not. Where the door has to be opened from outside with a key, the 1285 does not cover that duty on its own.
15) We need latch bolt monitoring or electric latch retraction on a concealed vertical rod door. How do the options compare?
The Falcon 1495HB-P is ordered with an EL electric latch retraction option or an S signal switch that monitors the latch bolt, both alongside the hold back cylinder and pull trim. Among comparable concealed vertical rod devices, the Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM is a Grade 1 heavy duty device from the 80 Series supplied with L trim and hex dogging for a 36 inch by 84 inch metal door, which is a mechanical dogging approach rather than an electrified one. For an access control tie-in, the electrified and monitored options belong to the 1495HB-P side of that comparison.
16) What is the difference between the Falcon 1495HB-P and the Adams Rite 8600 Series for an aluminum storefront door?
Both are narrow stile concealed vertical rod devices sized for aluminum doors, and both are Grade 1. The Adams Rite 8600 Series is carried as non fire rated. The Falcon 1495HB-P is certified to ANSI A156.3-2001 Grade 1 and ships with the hold back cylinder and pull trim as part of the device, with a 2-3/4 inch projection off the door face for clearance planning.
17) Is a wide stile concealed vertical rod device like the BEST Precision 2801 an acceptable substitute on a narrow stile aluminum door?
No. The BEST Precision 2801 Series is a wide stile concealed vertical rod device, and the Falcon 1495HB-P is narrow stile, engineered to fit the stile width of an aluminum door. A wide stile chassis does not land on a narrow stile. For that opening stay with a narrow stile device such as the Von Duprin 7547, a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, noting it is not carried as wood door compatible.
18) Are the mounting screws on the Falcon 1495 exposed where a tenant could back them out?
All mounting screws on the device are concealed, so there's no exposed fastener head on the push side for someone to attack with a driver. That matters on retail and multi-family entrances where the device is in reach all day. It also means the installation depends on the door being routed and templated correctly the first time, since there's no surface plate hiding a mislocated hole.
19) What finishes does the Falcon 1495HB-P come in, and will it match the rest of my storefront hardware?
Three anodized aluminum finishes: DC13 dark bronze, DC35 black, and US28 clear aluminum anodized. Those are the standard storefront finishes, so a dark bronze frame takes DC13 and a mill finish or clear anodized frame takes US28. All three are available with any of the device options, including EL, HH, and the S signal switch, so the finish choice does not restrict what else you can specify.
