Falcon 1593HB-OP 48IN US28 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon 1593HB-OP fit a wood door or a hollow metal door?
No. The 1593HB-OP is a narrow stile rim device built for aluminum storefront doors and is not wood door compatible. It also fits one thickness only, 1-3/4 inches. For a wood door, the Adams Rite 3700 Series and 8700 Series narrow stile rim devices are listed as wood door compatible.
2) What does the HB hold back function on the Falcon 1593HB-OP actually do?
Turning the key in the rim cylinder retracts the latch and holds it back, so the door stays push-pull free during business hours without anyone standing at the door. Turn the key the other way and the latch drops back in. The device itself is exit only, so there is no outside lever or knob operation, which is why the optional pull is part of the package.
3) Do I need to specify a hand for the Falcon 1593HB device?
Yes. The device chassis is non-handed, but the order requires a handing selection, either RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse). Exit devices swing out, so any door with an exit device is a reverse hand opening. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right and it pulls toward you, it is RHR.
4) What strike comes with the Falcon 1590 Series rim device, and will it latch into my existing frame?
A TD35 strike ships standard, with the STK45 as the optional alternative. The latch throw is 3/4 inch, so the strike has to be set for that projection. If you are replacing another brand's rim device, plan on installing the supplied strike rather than reusing the old one, since rim strike heights and lips vary by maker.
5) What are the EL and S device options on the Falcon 1593HB, and do I need them for access control?
EL is electric latch retraction, which pulls the latch electrically so a card reader or push button can release the door remotely while the bar still gives free egress. S is a signal switch that monitors the latch bolt and reports door secure status back to a panel. Pick EL if the door is on an access control system, S if you only need monitoring, or None for a straight mechanical device. Each is available in all three finishes: DC13 dark bronze anodized, DC35 black anodized, and US28 aluminum anodized.
6) My door is 2 inches thick. Will the Falcon 1593HB work?
No. The 1593HB-OP is a single-thickness device for 1-3/4 inch doors. For a thicker leaf, the Adams Rite 8800 Series narrow stile rim device covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches, and the DORMA 9300 Series wide stile device covers the same 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 range if stile width is not a constraint.
7) The Falcon 1593HB-OP is not fire rated - what fire rated rim exit device should I specify for a labeled opening?
Correct, the 1590 Series 1593HB-OP is a panic device and the comparable set lists no fire rating for it. For a labeled opening, fire rated rim devices in the set include the Marks USA M9900F in both 36 inch and 48 inch, the Adams Rite 3700 Series, a fire rated Grade 1 narrow stile rim device with starwheel interlocking, the Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO Grade 1 fire rated rim device, the Arrow FS1250 fire rated 32 inch rim device, and the Orca OED85 36 inch fire rated rim device. If you need to stay narrow stile on an aluminum door, the Adams Rite 3700 is the closest of those.
8) What narrow stile rim exit device can I use instead of the Falcon 1593HB-OP on a 48 inch aluminum door?
The Falcon 1593HB-OP is a 48 inch narrow stile rim device, Grade 1, non-handed, for 1-3/4 inch doors. Close narrow stile alternatives include the Corbin Russwin ED4200, a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors in a 36 inch size; the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900, both Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim devices in 36 inch; and the Adams Rite 8800 Series, a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Confirm the device length matches your door width before ordering, since those peers are catalogued in shorter sizes.
9) I need a 48 inch rim exit device for a hollow metal door with a wide stile - is the Falcon 1593HB-OP right?
No. The 1593HB-OP is built for narrow stile aluminum doors and is not wood door compatible. For a 48 inch wide stile opening, the set carries the DORMA 9300 Series 48 inch wide stile panic rim device, Grade 1 heavy duty, for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors; the Corbin Russwin ED3200, a Grade 1 48 inch wide stile crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors; the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar wide stile device; and the Sargent 2828 and 3828, Grade 1 reversible wide stile rim devices for 48 inch doors.
10) What looks like a substitute for the Falcon 1593HB-OP but will not work as a rim exit device?
A few items sit close in the catalog but do not do the same job. The Hager 4601 Series is a narrow stile device, but it is a concealed vertical rod device, not a rim device, so it needs a different door and frame prep. The Detex 00 Series Advantex is a dummy exit device, and the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is listed with a dummy function, so neither latches. The Dexter ED1500-EXTRD-SP is a 12 inch extension rod assembly, a part for ED1500 devices rather than a device. For a true rim replacement on narrow stile aluminum, stay with rim devices such as the Corbin Russwin ED4200 or TownSteel ED8900.
11) Should I use a rim exit device or a vertical rod device on my aluminum storefront door?
A rim device like the Falcon 1593HB latches into a strike on the frame at the strike jamb, which is the simple choice for a single door or a pair with a mullion. If you have a pair of doors with no mullion, a rim device has nothing to latch into, and you need a vertical rod device that catches at the head and threshold. The Hager 4601 Series is a narrow stile concealed vertical rod option for that situation.
12) Does the Falcon 1593HB-OP come with outside trim?
It ships less trim, so no outside lever or pull is in the box. The OP designation refers to the optional pull used with the 159CA-HB hold back cylinder arrangement. Order the pull and cylinder you need alongside the device. If you want a device family that takes standard outside lever trim, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device listed as accepting trim.
13) What other narrow stile Grade 1 rim devices could I use instead of the Falcon 1590 Series?
Several narrow stile Grade 1 rim devices cover the same kind of aluminum storefront opening: the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900, the Corbin Russwin ED4200, the Detex 40 Advantex (extra heavy duty), and the BEST Precision 2401, which is non-handed exit only. The Adams Rite 8800 Series is also narrow stile and takes a wider thickness range of 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches if your door is thicker than 1-3/4.
14) What is the difference between the Falcon 1593HB-OP and the Adams Rite 8800 narrow stile rim device?
Both are Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit devices that are not wood door compatible. The Falcon 1593HB-OP is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors with a 3/4 inch latch throw and a 2-3/4 inch projection, and carries a hold back cylinder function that lets a key retract and hold the latch back. The Adams Rite 8800 covers a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range and uses starwheel interlocking rather than a conventional rim latch and strike, so its frame prep differs from the Falcon, which ships with a TD35 strike.
15) If I want key control from the outside rather than the Falcon 1593HB-OP hold back cylinder, what should I look at?
The Falcon 1593HB-OP is supplied less trim with a hold back cylinder, where the key retracts and holds the latch back. If you want a dedicated night latch style outside trim instead, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow design rim exit device with a night latch function, and the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device supplied with night latch trim. The Corbin Russwin ED4200, a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device, is listed as exit only and accepts trim, so outside trim is ordered separately there as well.
16) The Falcon 1593HB-OP is offered with EL electric latch retraction - what other electrified exit devices compare?
The 1593HB-OP can be configured with EL electric latch retraction or with an S signal switch that monitors the latch bolt. Electrified comparables include the SDC S6136 Spectra S6000 Series 36 inch electrified rim exit device with a 4 inch wide stile, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors; the Dormakaba E2103 electrified 36 inch rim device with 4908A trim in a classroom function; the Securitron EMB electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors; and the SDC PSB560 pressure sense bar, which suits narrow or wide stile. Of these only the SDC bars and the Falcon address narrow stile aluminum.
17) I need the same 48 inch coverage as the Falcon 1593HB-OP but on a wood door - what works?
The Falcon 1593HB-OP is listed as not wood door compatible. The Adams Rite 8700 Series, a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device with starwheel interlocking, and the Adams Rite 3700 Series, its fire rated counterpart, are both listed as wood door compatible. Both are catalogued in a 30 inch length, so verify the device length against your door width and confirm the interlocking strike prep suits the frame.
18) For a high abuse opening, is there something heavier than the Falcon 1593HB-OP narrow stile device?
The Falcon 1593HB-OP is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 with steel operating mechanisms and hardened steel latch bolts. If you want a heavier narrow stile option, the Detex 40 Advantex Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device rated extra heavy duty, and the Detex 10 Advantex Series 36 inch is extra heavy duty in a wide stile configuration. The Stanley QED211 and Dormakaba QED200 are Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim devices with hex key dogging if dogging is what the opening needs.
19) Is this device tamper resistant enough for a street-facing entrance?
All mounting screws on the Falcon 1590 Series are concealed, so there are no exposed fasteners on the push side for someone to back out. The latch bolts are hardened steel with a 3/4 inch throw, and the assembly is certified Grade 1 under ANSI A156.3-2001, which is the heavy duty commercial level for panic hardware.
20) Can I match the Falcon 1593HB-OP with a 36 inch device on the adjacent narrower leaf of a pair?
Yes, that is common practice - the 1593HB-OP covers the 48 inch leaf and a shorter device handles the narrower one. Narrow stile 36 inch options in the set include the Corbin Russwin ED4200 Grade 1 narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices, and the Arrow 4800 Series 36 inch narrow stile exit only rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Keep the finish and bar style consistent across the pair so the opening reads as one set.
