Falcon 1790EO 36IN US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon 1790EO exit device fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
That is the opening it is built for. The 1790EO is a narrow stile rim device sized for the slim vertical rails on aluminum storefront and curtainwall doors, and it is rated for 1-3/4 inch doors, the standard commercial storefront thickness. It is not wood door compatible, so keep it on aluminum stile doors. The pushpad is 36 inches and the device stands 3-3/8 inches off the face of the door once mounted.
2) Does the Falcon 1790EO come with a strike, or do I have to order one separately?
The TD35 strike is supplied standard with the 1790EO, so the strike is in the box. Latch throw is 3/4 inch, and a rim device throws its latch into a surface strike mounted on the frame stop, which means the latch and the TD35 are matched to each other. If you are pulling out another brand's rim device, budget for new strike prep on the frame rather than assuming the old strike lines up.
3) How do I add request-to-exit signaling to a Falcon 1790 exit device for my access control system?
Order the RX switch with the device. The RX Request-to-Exit option is available on the 1790EO in every one of its five finishes, so you are not forced into a finish to get the switch. The RX contact tells the access control panel that someone pushed the pad from inside, so a legitimate egress is not logged as a forced door. Falcon also publishes an RX switch retrofit kit with installation instructions covering the 1690, 1790 and 2390 devices, which is the path if a device is already hanging on the door.
4) Will a Falcon 1790EO secure a pair of storefront doors?
Only with something at the center to latch into. A rim device throws its latch sideways into a strike on the frame, and on a pair with no center post there is nothing there, so the 1790EO needs a removable mullion carrying the TD35 strike. If the pair has to give a clear opening with no mullion, use vertical rod hardware instead, which latches at the head and threshold: the Hager 4601 Series is a narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit device.
5) The Falcon 1790EO is not fire rated - what rim exit device should I use on a fire-rated opening?
The Falcon 1790EO carries a fire rating of no, so a labeled opening needs a fire-rated device instead. On narrow stile, the Adams Rite 3700 Series is a fire-rated Grade 1 narrow stile rim device. At 36 inches, the Orca OED85 is a fire-rated rim device in exit only function, the Marks USA M9900F is a fire-rated rim device in exit only function, and the Dexter ED1000 fire-rated rim device is Grade 1. The Marks USA M9900F is also built at 48 inches for wider leaves, and the Arrow FS1250 is a fire-rated rim device at 32 inches.
6) I need key entry from outside - what do I order instead of the Falcon 1790EO?
The Falcon 1790EO is exit only and is supplied less trim, so there is no outside operation on the device as configured. For outside access on narrow stile, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device in night latch function. The Corbin Russwin ED4200, a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors, is listed as exit only and accepts trim, so it can be built up for outside operation. On wide stile, the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 rim device supplied with night latch trim.
7) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Falcon 1790EO narrow stile rim exit device?
The Falcon 1790EO is a Grade 1 rim device certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2001, built for narrow stile doors, exit only, non-handed, 36 inches, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The nearest matches on those points are the Corbin Russwin ED4200, a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900, both Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices at 36 inches. The Arrow 4800 at 36 inches is narrow stile and exit only for 1-3/4 inch doors. One difference to catch before you order: the ED4200 accepts trim, while the 1790EO is supplied less trim.
8) Can the Falcon 1790EO go on a wood door, and what rim device works if it cannot?
The Falcon 1790EO is listed wood door compatible: no. It is built for narrow stile aluminum storefront and curtainwall stiles. For a wood leaf, the Adams Rite 8700 Series narrow stile rim device with starwheel interlocking is listed wood door compatible: yes and Grade 1, and the Adams Rite 3700 Series is also wood door compatible: yes, Grade 1, and fire rated. Most of the other rim devices in the comparable range, including the Corbin Russwin ED4200 and the TownSteel ED3700, are listed wood door compatible: no, the same as the 1790EO.
9) My doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inch - what rim exit device covers that instead of the Falcon 1790EO?
The Falcon 1790EO is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors. Where the leaf runs thicker, the Adams Rite 8800 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the DORMA 9300 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty rim device listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors at 48 inches in exit only function. The SDC Spectra S6136 electrified rim device covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Note the stile difference: the Adams Rite 8800 is narrow stile, while the DORMA 9300 and the SDC S6136 are wide stile.
10) Are the SDC MSB550 and PSB560 exit bars a substitute for the Falcon 1790EO?
No - they solve a different problem. The Falcon 1790EO is a mechanical rim latching device with a 3/4 inch latch throw that ships with the TD35 strike, so the door latches and the pushpad retracts it. The SDC MSB550 Series 36 inch unit is a mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release, and the SDC SureExit PSB560 Series 36 inch unit is a pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology; both are built for narrow or wide stile and pair with a separate locking device rather than carrying a latch and strike. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar specified for 2-1/4 inch doors.
11) Do I need to specify left hand or right hand when ordering a Falcon 1790EO?
No hand to specify. The 1790EO is non-handed, so the same device goes on a left or right swinging door. For a property manager standardizing exit hardware across a building, that means one part number covers every storefront opening regardless of swing, and stocking a spare covers all of them.
12) How far does the Falcon 1790EO stick out from the door?
3-3/8 inches of projection off the door face. That number matters in a tight vestibule, where the door swings back against a wall, or where two entrance doors stack in a lobby - check the clearance behind the door before you commit. Overall device length is 36 inches, and the mounting screws are concealed, so nothing protrudes beyond the cover on the push face.
13) Narrow stile or wide stile rim exit device - which one does my door take?
The door decides it, not preference. Aluminum storefront and glass entrance doors have a slim vertical stile, and a wide stile device has nowhere to land on one, which is why the Falcon 1790EO is built narrow stile. Hollow metal and wood doors have the broad rail a wide stile device needs. If your opening is hollow metal, the Von Duprin 22-3FT is a 36 inch wide stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Other narrow stile rim options are the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900, the Detex 40 Advantex, and the BEST 2401 in exit only, non-handed.
14) Is the Falcon 1790EO heavy duty enough for a school or hospital corridor?
Grade 1 to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2001, which is the top duty grade in the exit device standard and what most institutional specs call for. The device is commercial rated, with concealed mounting screws that leave no exposed fastener to attack. One caveat for a facility spec: it is not fire rated, so any labeled cross-corridor or stair door in the same building needs fire rated hardware instead.
15) I'm replacing a 36 inch narrow stile panic bar on a storefront door. What do I check before ordering the Falcon 1790EO?
Four things settle it. Door thickness has to be 1-3/4 inches, since the 1790EO is a single-thickness device. The door has to be an aluminum stile door, not wood. The old opening cannot need outside access, because the 1790EO is exit only and ships less trim. And the frame gets the TD35 strike that comes with the device, so plan on new strike prep rather than reusing the existing one. Handing is not a concern - the device is non-handed either way.
16) I have wide stile doors, not aluminum storefront - what takes the place of the Falcon 1790EO?
The Falcon 1790EO is a narrow stile device engineered for aluminum storefront and curtainwall stiles. On a wide stile leaf, the Von Duprin 22-3FT is a wide stile pushpad rim device at 36 inches, non-handed, Grade 1, for 1-3/4 inch doors, which matches the 1790EO on hand and thickness. The Corbin Russwin ED2200 is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device at 36 inches in exit only function, and the TownSteel ED9700 is a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile rim device at 36 inches. The Hager 4701 Series rim device at 36 inches carries Grade 1 BHMA certification.
17) What is the difference between the Falcon 1790EO and a dummy exit device?
The Falcon 1790EO is an exit only device: the latch retracts on push from the inside with no outside access, with a 3/4 inch latch throw and the TD35 strike included. A dummy device carries no exit function at all and is used on the inactive leaf or where matching appearance is the only requirement. In the comparable range, the Detex Advantex 00 Series is a super heavy duty dummy exit device in wide stile, and the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a Grade 1 fire-rated wide stile rim device listed in dummy function. If the door has to latch and release, those are not interchangeable with the 1790EO.
18) What is a Grade 2 alternative to the Falcon 1790EO for a lighter-traffic door?
The Falcon 1790EO is certified Grade 1 to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2001. Where the spec does not call for Grade 1, the Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch rim device with a touch bar, listed Grade 2 and heavy duty, and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch rim device with a push bar, also Grade 2 and heavy duty. Both are listed wood door compatible: no, the same as the 1790EO, and neither is fire rated. The operating difference to weigh is the actuator: the Cal-Royal 5000 uses a touch bar and the 5500 a push bar, against the 1790EO pushpad.
19) Should I use the Falcon 1790EO rim device or a vertical rod device on my narrow stile doors?
The Falcon 1790EO is a rim device: it latches into the TD35 strike on the frame with a 3/4 inch latch throw and uses fewer components than vertical rod devices, which simplifies field adjustment. Where the opening calls for latching at the head and sill instead, the Hager 4601 Series is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod narrow stile exit device at 36 inches, and the Dormakaba QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow device at 36 inches supplied with a 7 foot rod. On wide stile, the Hager 4501 Series is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device at 36 inches with a wide stile pushpad.
20) The Falcon 1790EO is 36 inches - what rim exit devices cover a wider leaf?
The Falcon 1790EO is built at 36 inches. For wider openings, the Dexter ED1000 Series is a Grade 1 rim device at 4 feet, the DORMA 9300 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile rim device at 48 inches in exit only function for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 crossbar rim device at 48 inches, wide stile, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device in exit only function, wide stile. All four are wide stile or unspecified on stile, so confirm the stile width before substituting on aluminum storefront.
21) How does the Falcon 1790EO with RX compare to a fully electrified rim exit device?
The Falcon 1790EO is offered with an optional RX request-to-exit switch on every finish, which reports use of the pushpad back to the access control system while the device itself stays mechanical, exit only, non-handed, with the TD35 strike included. A fully electrified rim device is a different animal: the Dormakaba E2103 is an electrified rim device at 36 inches supplied with 4908A trim in an 08 classroom function, and the SDC Spectra S6136 is an electrified architectural rim device on a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Both of those bring outside electrified operation the exit-only 1790EO does not.
22) What narrow stile rim devices carry a stated duty level for abusive traffic, next to the Falcon 1790EO?
The Falcon 1790EO is Grade 1 to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2001 with cast metal cover plates and end caps and a no-tamper housing with no openings for chains or tools. If the spec calls out a duty level as well, the Detex 40 Advantex Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device listed extra heavy duty, the Stanley QED211 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device listed heavy duty with hex-key dogging, and the TownSteel ED8900 at 36 inches is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device listed heavy duty. On wide stile, the Detex 10 Advantex at 36 inches is Grade 1 and extra heavy duty.
23) What finish should I order to match my existing aluminum storefront hardware?
Five finishes are offered on the 1790EO: 628 aluminum anodized, 626 satin chrome, 625 bright chrome, DC13 dark bronze anodized, and DC35 black anodized. 628 is the match for clear anodized aluminum framing, which is the most common storefront color, and DC13 is the one for dark bronze framing. DC35 suits black anodized entrances. All five are available with or without the RX switch, so the finish decision and the RX decision are independent.
