Falcon 1591DT 36IN US28 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the DT in Falcon 1591DT mean, and does the outside trim actually unlock the door?
DT is dummy trim, which means pull-only on the outside. The Falcon 1591DT is non-keyed with a dummy lock function, so the exterior trim is a fixed pull with no cylinder and no way to retract the latch from outside. Anyone at the outside of that opening stays out until someone pushes the bar from inside. If you need key access from the exterior, this is the wrong configuration and you want a keyed night latch or a trim that accepts a cylinder instead.
2) Why does a non-handed exit device still ask me to pick RHR or LHR?
The device chassis on the 1590 Series is non-handed, but the order still needs a hand specified as RHR or LHR so the bar, end cap and the dummy pull are oriented correctly for your opening. Stand outside the door: if it swings out and the hinges are on your right, that is right hand reverse. Exit devices are always on out-swinging doors, which is why the choices are the reverse hands only.
3) Will the Falcon 1591DT latch into the strike that is already on my frame?
Plan on using the 299 strike that ships with it. The latch bolt throws 3/4 inch, and rim strikes vary in lip position and depth between brands, so an existing strike from another manufacturer is not a safe assumption. The 299 is supplied as standard, so mount it with the device and set the alignment during install rather than trying to reuse whatever is in the frame.
4) What is the EL option on the Falcon 1591 and when would I need it?
EL is electric latch retraction. It pulls the latch back electrically so the door can be released from an access control system, a card reader or a remote release, while the bar still gives free mechanical egress. Order it if the opening is tied into access control. The other option is S, a signal switch that monitors the latch bolt and reports door secure status back to an alarm or building system. If you need neither, order the device option as None.
5) I need a fire rated exit device instead of the Falcon 1591DT - what should I look at?
The Falcon 1591DT is a panic device for 1-3/4 inch aluminum doors and is not offered as a fire rated unit. For a fire labeled opening, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim device is fire rated and Grade 1, and the Dexter ED1000 Series rim device is available in a Grade 1 fire rated version. In wider sizes, the Marks USA M9900F comes fire rated in 36 and 48 inch. Fire rated devices omit dogging, so the door latches on every cycle.
6) I need keyed exterior access on a narrow stile aluminum door, not a pull - what replaces the Falcon 1591DT?
The Falcon 1591DT is non-keyed with pull trim, so the exterior offers no locked entry. For keyed or trim-operated exterior access on a narrow stile door, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device in nightlatch function, and the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device that accepts trim. Both let you specify exterior trim that operates the latch.
7) How far does the Falcon 1591DT dummy pull stick out from the door?
The pull trim projects 2-3/4 inches from the door face. That matters where the door swings toward a wall, a railing or an adjacent leaf, and it matters for the clear width of the walkway outside. All mounting screws are concealed, so there is nothing protruding beyond the trim itself.
8) What finishes does the Falcon 1591DT come in for matching an existing storefront?
Three anodized aluminum finishes: 628 clear aluminum anodized, DC13 dark bronze anodized, and DC35 black anodized. Those are the three common storefront framing colors, so match the device to the frame rather than to the door glass. All three are offered with the None, EL and S device options.
9) What is a comparable narrow stile Grade 1 rim exit device if I do not want Falcon?
Several from the same narrow stile Grade 1 class: the Corbin Russwin ED4200 in 36 inch for 1-3/4 inch doors, the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 in 36 inch, the Detex 40 Advantex, and the BEST Precision 2401 Series. Those are exit-only or trim-accepting configurations rather than the pull-only dummy setup, so if you specifically want a fixed exterior pull with no cylinder, the Falcon 1591DT is the direct match.
10) Is a rim device the right choice for my storefront pair of doors, or do I need vertical rods?
A rim device latches into a strike at the frame or at a mullion, so on a pair it needs a removable mullion between the leaves. If you cannot use a mullion because the opening has to stay clear, a vertical rod device is the way to go, latching at the head and sill instead. The Falcon 1591DT is a rim device. For concealed vertical rod in a narrow stile, the Hager 4601 Series in 36 inch is that type.
11) Is the Falcon 1591DT tough enough for a high traffic entrance at a school or retail front?
It is certified Grade 1 to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2001, which is the highest performance level for exit devices and the level specified for high use commercial openings. Construction is steel operating mechanisms with hardened steel latch bolts and aluminum push bars. For institutional buyers standardizing across a campus, the non-handed chassis means one device covers both hands and cuts what you have to stock.
12) What is the difference between the Falcon 1591DT and a wide stile device like the Von Duprin 22?
The Falcon 1591DT is built for narrow stile aluminum doors, while the Von Duprin 22-3FT is a wide stile pushpad rim device, 36 inch, non-handed, Grade 1, for 1-3/4 inch doors. Wide stile chassis need more door face to land on, typical of hollow metal and wood doors; narrow stile chassis fit the slim vertical rail on an aluminum storefront. Other wide stile 36 inch Grade 1 options include the Corbin Russwin ED5200 and the TownSteel ED9700.
13) Are there other dummy function exit devices besides the Falcon 1591DT?
Yes. The Falcon 1591DT is a dummy, non-keyed device with 9970 pull-only exterior trim on a narrow stile aluminum door. On the wide stile side, the Detex Advantex 00 Series is a Grade 1 super heavy duty dummy exit device, and the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a Grade 1 fire rated wide stile rim device in dummy function. Choose by stile type first, since the chassis footprints are not interchangeable.
14) Is the Cal-Royal 5000 a substitute for the Falcon 1591DT?
Not on a Grade 1 spec. The Falcon 1591DT is certified Grade 1 to ANSI A156.3-2001, while the Cal-Royal 5000 36 inch rim device carries a Grade 2 chassis and the Cal-Royal 5500 48 inch push bar device is also Grade 2. If the drawing calls for Grade 1 narrow stile, stay with devices such as the Detex 40 Advantex, an extra heavy duty Grade 1 narrow stile rim device.
15) The Falcon 1591DT is offered with electric latch retraction - what other electrified exit bars compare?
The Falcon 1591DT can be ordered with EL electric latch retraction or with an S signal switch that monitors the latch bolt. Alternatives with electrified operation include the Dormakaba Electrified Rim 36 inch device with 4908A trim in classroom function, the SDC Spectra S6136 electrified architectural rim device on a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, and the SDC MSB550 36 inch mechanical switch bar, which suits narrow or wide stile. The SDC units release an electromagnetic lock rather than retracting a latch, so verify which behavior your access control expects.
16) My aluminum door is thicker than 1-3/4 inch - what rim device fits instead of the Falcon 1591DT?
The Falcon 1591DT is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors only. For thicker leaves, the Adams Rite 8800 Series narrow stile rim device covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Dormakaba 9300 Series 48 inch wide stile device covers the same 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch range. The Securitron EMB electromechanical exit bar is listed at 2-1/4 inch.
17) Can I use a concealed vertical rod device in place of the Falcon 1591DT rim device?
They latch differently. The Falcon 1591DT is a rim device that throws a 3/4 inch latch bolt into a surface mounted 299 strike on the frame. The Hager 4601 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod narrow stile device, and the Hager 4501 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod with wide stile pushpad. Vertical rod devices latch top and bottom inside the door and require door prep for the rods, so they are not a drop-in for a rim device opening.
18) What is a simpler exit only alternative to the Falcon 1591DT if I do not need exterior trim at all?
The Falcon 1591DT comes with dummy pull trim on the exterior. If the opening needs no exterior hardware, exit only rim devices include the Arrow 4800 Series 36 inch narrow stile for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Marks USA M8800 36 inch narrow stile exit only, and the BEST Precision 2401 narrow stile exit only, which is non-handed. All three drop the outside trim entirely.
