Falcon 1790EO 48IN US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon 1790EO latch into the strike I already have on the frame?
Plan on using the strike that ships with it. The 1790EO comes with the TD35 strike as standard and throws a 3/4 inch latchbolt, so the supplied strike is prepped for that throw. Reusing an old strike from a different device is where these installs go wrong, since the throw and the strike lip have to match up.
2) What do I need to specify when ordering a Falcon 1790EO, and can I get it electrified?
Four decisions on the order. Finish: DC13 dark bronze anodized, DC35 black anodized, US26 bright chrome, US26D satin chrome, or US28 anodized aluminum. RX request to exit switch, yes or no, if you're signaling an access control panel that someone pushed the bar. EL electric latch retraction, yes or no, if the latch has to hold retracted for card access or scheduled unlock. ED electric dogging, yes or no, if you want the pad to go push-pull on a timer instead of hex key dogging. EL and ED both need power run to the door.
3) What is the closest narrow stile rim exit device to the Falcon 1790EO for a 48 inch aluminum door?
The Falcon 1790EO is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device in exit only function, sized for 48 inch doors at 1-3/4 inch thickness. Among peers, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the TownSteel ED8900 and TownSteel ED3700 are both Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim devices. The Detex 40 Advantex is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device rated extra heavy duty. All three of those peer devices are catalogued at 36 inch, so confirm the length you need for a 48 inch opening before ordering against them.
4) The Falcon 1790EO is not fire rated. What fire rated rim exit device can go on a labeled opening instead?
The Falcon 1790EO is not fire rated, so a labeled opening needs a different device. Fire rated rim exit devices in the same class include the Marks USA M9900F at 48 inch and at 36 inch, both exit only; the Adams Rite 3700 Series, a Grade 1 fire rated narrow stile rim device with starwheel interlocking; the Dexter ED1000 Series fire rated Grade 1 rim device; the Arrow FS1250 fire rated 32 inch rim device; and the Orca OED85 Series 36 inch fire rated rim device in exit only. For a narrow stile aluminum opening that carries a label, the Adams Rite 3700 is the one of those that is specified as narrow stile.
5) I need exterior key access, not exit only. What device takes trim instead of the Falcon 1790EO?
The Falcon 1790EO is exit only and ships less trim, so there is no outside operation. If the opening needs keyed entry from outside, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device listed as exit only or accepts trim, which keeps the narrow stile prep. The Corbin Russwin ED5200 accepts trim as well but is a wide stile chassis. For a nightlatch style outside function on a narrow door, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device in night latch function.
6) What can I put on a wood door if the Falcon 1790EO will not work?
The Falcon 1790EO is built for aluminum doors and is not wood door compatible. Two peers are: the Adams Rite 8700 Series, a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device with starwheel interlocking listed as wood door compatible, and the Adams Rite 3700 Series, which is wood door compatible and additionally fire rated for labeled wood openings. Both are narrow stile, so the door prep stays in the same family as the 1790EO.
7) Will the Falcon 1790EO fit a door thicker than 1-3/4 inch, and what covers thicker doors?
The Falcon 1790EO is specified for 1-3/4 inch door thickness only. For thicker leaves, the Adams Rite 8800 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, which keeps the narrow stile chassis. In wide stile, the DORMA 9300 Series also covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the SDC S6136 Spectra covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. The Securitron EMB electromechanical exit bar is listed at 2-1/4 inch.
8) What looks like a substitute for the Falcon 1790EO rim exit device but is not?
Several items sit next to the 1790EO and do a different job. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a dummy exit device, so it does not latch. The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is listed in dummy function. The Hager 4501 and Hager 4601 are concealed vertical rod devices, not rim, so they require rod and top and bottom latch prep the 1790EO does not use. The SDC MSB550 mechanical switch bar and the SDC SureExit PSB560 pressure sense bar are switch bars that release an electromagnetic lock rather than throw a latch. The Dexter ED1500-EXTRD-SP is a 12 inch extension rod assembly, a part for another device.
9) How much does the Falcon 1790EO stick out into the doorway when installed?
Projection is 3-3/8 inches off the face of the door. That is the number to check against your clear egress width and against anything in the swing path, like a mullion, a second leaf, or a wall return on a tight vestibule.
10) Is the Falcon 1790EO heavy duty enough for a school or hospital entrance?
It's certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2001 Grade 1, the highest of the three cycle and strength grades for exit devices, and it's a commercial-duty device. Cast metal cover plates and end caps hold up where a stamped cover would deform. Grade 1 is what most institutional specs call for on a main egress door.
11) What is the difference between the Falcon 1790EO and a vertical rod exit device?
A rim device like the 1790EO latches into a strike on the frame at the lock stile, one latch point, and that's it. Fewer parts than a vertical rod device means less to adjust and less to go out of alignment over time. A vertical rod device latches at the head and the sill instead, which is what you need on a pair of doors with no center mullion. On a single door in a frame, or a pair with a mullion, the rim device is the simpler answer. If you need concealed rods in a narrow stile leaf, the Hager 4601 Series is a narrow stile concealed vertical rod device.
12) My door stile is wide, not narrow. What rim exit device should I be looking at instead of the Falcon 1790EO?
The Falcon 1790EO is a narrow stile device, so a wide stile door calls for a wide stile chassis. Grade 1 wide stile rim peers include the Von Duprin 22-3FT, a 36 inch non-handed pushpad rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Corbin Russwin ED2200 at 36 inch in exit only; the Corbin Russwin ED5200 at 36 inch for 1-3/4 inch doors; the DORMA 9300 Series at 48 inch in exit only for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors; and the TownSteel ED9700 at 36 inch heavy duty. For a 48 inch opening the DORMA 9300 matches the door width the 1790EO covers.
13) Is there a Grade 2 alternative to the Falcon 1790EO Grade 1 exit device?
The Falcon 1790EO carries ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 certification. If the specification allows Grade 2, the Cal-Royal A9820 is a 48 inch rim exit device in exit only, rated Grade 2 heavy duty, and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch rim exit device with a push bar, also Grade 2 heavy duty. The Cal-Royal 5000 is the 36 inch Grade 2 heavy duty touch bar version. All three are for non-wood doors, as is the 1790EO.
14) I want a crossbar instead of the Falcon 1790EO push pad. What are the options?
The Falcon 1790EO uses a push pad. If the building standard is a crossbar, the CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device in exit only, wide stile, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim exit device, wide stile, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The CRL Jackson 1095P is the paddle version of the same series, also wide stile and exit only. All three are wide stile, so the door face has to accept a wider chassis than the narrow stile 1790EO.
15) Which exit devices match the Falcon 1790EO 48 inch length for a wide opening?
The Falcon 1790EO is sized for a 48 inch door. Peers catalogued at that length include the DORMA 9300 Series 48 inch wide stile device in exit only, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 48 inch crossbar rim device, the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar, the Marks USA M9900F 48 inch fire rated rim device in exit only, the Cal-Royal A9820 48 inch exit only, the Cal-Royal 5500 48 inch push bar, and the Dexter ED1000 Series 4FT Grade 1 rim device. The Sargent 2828 and Sargent 3828 are Grade 1 reversible rim devices for 48 inch minimum door width.
16) The Falcon 1790EO is non-handed. Which comparable devices are also non-handed or reversible?
The Falcon 1790EO is non-handed, so one part number serves left and right hand openings. Among peers, the BEST 2401 Series is a narrow stile rim exit device in exit only, non-handed; the BEST Precision 5101 Series is a non-handed universal design rim device; the CRL Jackson 1295 Series is a non-handed push pad rim panic device for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Von Duprin 22-3FT is a 36 inch non-handed pushpad rim device; and the Sargent 2828 and 3828 are reversible. For stocking one SKU across a mixed-hand building, those keep the same advantage the 1790EO has.
17) Which narrow stile rim devices offer hex key dogging as an alternative to the Falcon 1790EO?
The Falcon 1790EO offers electric dogging as an ordering option alongside electric latch retraction. If mechanical dogging is preferred, the Stanley Security QED200 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim exit device with hex key dogging, and the Dormakaba QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow exit device supplied as a 36 inch device with a 7 ft rod. The Design Hardware 1000R is a 33 inch heavy duty rim device with hex key dogging, and the 2000R is the standard duty wide stile version at the same length.
18) If I need a heavier duty rating than the Falcon 1790EO, what steps up?
The Falcon 1790EO is ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1. Two peers are rated extra heavy duty on top of Grade 1: the Detex 40 Advantex Series, which is narrow stile like the 1790EO, and the Detex 10 Advantex Series at 36 inch, which is wide stile. The Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device supplied with night latch trim rather than exit only. For an abused institutional opening on narrow stile aluminum, the Detex 40 is the one that keeps the narrow stile prep.
19) Can someone chain the doors shut with a Falcon 1790EO installed?
There are no openings in the pushpad or covers for a chain, which is the point: chaining an exit device is a code violation and a life safety problem, and the 1790EO gives you nothing to thread through. The concealed mounting screws also mean there are no exposed fasteners to back out, and no gap to work a coat hanger or similar tool into from outside.
20) Will the Falcon 1790EO match the anodized aluminum storefront I already have?
Finish options cover the usual storefront colors: US28 anodized aluminum for clear anodized frames, DC13 dark bronze anodized, DC35 black anodized, plus US26 bright chrome and US26D satin chrome if you want a brighter pull. For a building being standardized door by door, pick the anodized finish that matches the frame extrusion rather than the existing hardware.
21) Are there simpler standard duty rim exit devices instead of the Falcon 1790EO?
The Falcon 1790EO is a Grade 1 device with cast metal cover plates and end caps for high traffic institutional use. Where the traffic is lighter, the Hager 4701 Series is a standard duty rim exit device that still carries Grade 1 BHMA certification, and the Design Hardware 2000R is a 33 inch standard duty rim device with hex key dogging. The Orca OED55 Series is a 36 inch rim exit device in exit only. None of those is fire rated, same as the 1790EO.
