Falcon 1593HB-OP 42IN DC13 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon 1593HB-OP fit a 1-3/4 inch aluminum storefront door?
That is exactly the opening it is built for. The Falcon 1593HB-OP is a narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the thickness spec is a single value, not a range, so thicker doors are out. It is not rated for wood doors. Allow 2-3/4 inches of projection off the door face when you check clearance to adjacent walls, railings, or a second leaf.
2) What does the HB hold back function on the Falcon 1593 actually do?
Turn the key and the latch retracts and stays held back, so the door stays push/pull open without anyone standing there holding a key. Turn it back to release and the latch relatches. It is how you leave a retail or office entry unsecured during business hours and lock it at close. Egress from inside is always free through the touch bar, since the device is exit only with no outside trim included.
3) Do I have to specify handing on the Falcon 1593HB-OP even though it is non-handed?
The device chassis is non-handed, but the order still requires you to pick RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse). Stand outside the door: if it is pulled toward you and the hinges are on your right, it is RHR. Exit devices are always on the push side, which is why the handing is stated in reverse.
4) Is the strike included with the Falcon 1593 rim device, and will the 3/4 inch latch reach my existing frame?
A TD35 strike ships standard with the device, and the STK45 is available as an alternative when the frame condition calls for it. The latch throws 3/4 inch, so you need the supplied strike set at a matching height and gap rather than trying to catch an old mortise or deadlatch strike. On a pair of doors the strike mounts to the inactive leaf or the mullion, not the frame.
5) Can the Falcon 1593HB-OP be tied into an access control system?
Yes, two ways. EL gives you electric latch retraction, so a card reader or remote release pulls the latch back and the door free-swings until the system relocks it. S adds a signal switch that monitors the latch bolt, which reports door secure/not secure back to the panel without unlocking anything. The plain device with no electrical option is also offered if you only need mechanical egress.
6) My door is a wide stile hollow metal door, not aluminum. What should I use instead of the Falcon 1593?
Skip the 1590 Series on that opening, it is a narrow stile device sized for aluminum rails and is not wood door compatible. For a wide stile metal door, the Von Duprin 22 Series pushpad rim device is a Grade 1 non-handed option for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device also listed at 1-3/4 inches.
7) I need a fire rated exit device - can I use the Falcon 1593HB-OP?
No. The Falcon 1593HB-OP is a panic device for aluminum doors and is not a fire labeled device. For a fire rated opening, the Adams Rite 3700 Series is a fire rated Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device, and the Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO is a Grade 1 fire rated rim device. Other fire rated options include the Arrow FS1250, the Marks USA M9900F in 36 and 48 inch, and the Orca OED85.
8) What is the closest narrow stile rim exit device to the Falcon 1593HB-OP from another brand?
For a narrow stile aluminum door opening, the closest peers are the Corbin Russwin ED4200, a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device rated for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the TownSteel ED3700, a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device. Both are narrow stile like the Falcon 1593HB-OP, which is Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Falcon is offered with a 42 inch touch bar, while the ED4200 and ED3700 are 36 inch devices, so confirm your door width before swapping.
9) What narrow stile device should I look at if my doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inch?
The Falcon 1593HB-OP is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Adams Rite 8800 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, which covers the thicker range.
10) What finishes does the Falcon 1590 Series narrow stile device come in for matching storefront?
Three anodized aluminum finishes: US28 clear aluminum anodized, DC13 dark bronze anodized, and DC35 black anodized. Those are the standard storefront colors, so matching existing door rails and pulls across a building is usually straightforward. All three are offered with the plain device, with EL latch retraction, and with the S latch monitor switch.
11) Does the Falcon 1593HB-OP come with outside trim or a pull?
No trim is included. The 1593HB-OP ships less trim as an exit only device, so outside access comes from the key in the rim cylinder and whatever pull you specify separately. If your job needs lever trim on the outside for classroom or storeroom operation, that is a different device family, for example the Corbin Russwin ED4200 narrow stile which is listed as accepting trim.
12) What door width does the 42 inch touch bar Falcon 1593 suit?
The 42 inch bar, catalogued as the 3.5FT size on model 1593HB-OP-3.5FT, covers wider single leaves and the wider leaf of a storefront pair. A rim device bar should run close to the full clear width of the door so the push area meets the door width, so measure the leaf before choosing between bar lengths.
13) Is the Cal-Royal 5000 a substitute for the Falcon 1593HB-OP?
They are not equivalent. The Falcon 1593HB-OP is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 and narrow stile. The Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch touch bar rim device with a Grade 2 chassis, as is the Cal-Royal 5500 48 inch push bar device. If your spec calls for Grade 1 on a narrow stile aluminum door, the Cal-Royal devices will not satisfy it.
14) What is an alternative to the Falcon 1593HB-OP if I need electric latch retraction?
The Falcon 1593HB-OP is offered with an EL electric latch retraction option and an S signal switch that monitors the latch bolt. If you prefer another brand, the Dormakaba E2103 is an electrified 36 inch rim device supplied with 4908A trim, and the SDC S6136 Spectra is an electrified architectural rim exit device for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors with a 4 inch wide stile.
15) Is the SDC MSB550 switch bar the same thing as the Falcon 1593HB-OP?
No. The Falcon 1593HB-OP is a mechanical rim exit device with a latch bolt and a hold back cylinder that retracts and holds the latch. The SDC MSB550 is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock and fits narrow or wide stile doors, and the SDC PSB560 is a pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology. Those bars signal a separate locking device rather than latching into a strike, so they are not a drop-in replacement for a latching rim device.
16) Is there a night latch narrow stile device instead of a hold back cylinder?
Yes. The Falcon 1593HB-OP is an exit only device whose key retracts the latch and holds it back. If you want outside key access without hold back, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device with night latch function.
17) Do I need a rim device or a concealed vertical rod device?
The Falcon 1593HB-OP is a rim device that latches into a surface strike on the frame, supplied with a TD35 strike. If the opening calls for top and bottom latching concealed in the door, the Hager 4601 is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod narrow stile exit device, and the Hager 4501 is the wide stile pushpad version.
18) What is a simpler narrow stile rim device than the Falcon 1593HB-OP for a basic exit only opening?
If you do not need the hold back cylinder function of the Falcon 1593HB-OP, the BEST Precision 2401 is a non-handed exit only narrow stile rim device, and the Arrow 4800 Series is a 36 inch narrow stile exit only rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both are plain exit only devices without key hold back.
19) How secure are the mounting screws on this Falcon exit device from the outside?
All mounting screws on the 1590 Series are concealed, so there are no exposed fasteners at the bar or end cap for someone to back out. That matters on glass storefront entries where the device is visible through the door. The mechanism uses steel operating parts and hardened steel latch bolts behind that cover.
