Falcon 1791DT 42IN US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the DT in Falcon 1791DT mean, and can you unlock the door from the outside?
DT is dummy trim, pull only. The Falcon 1791DT gives you a pull handle on the outside with no key and no latch retraction from outside, so it is non-keyed with a Dummy lock function. Push the pad from inside to exit; from outside the door stays latched unless someone opens it from within or the device is dogged. If you need outside key access, specify a keyed night latch or lever function instead of the DT trim.
2) I have a 2-1/4 inch thick door. Can I still use this Falcon rim device?
No. The 1791DT is a single-thickness device rated for 1-3/4 inch doors only. For thicker doors, 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 range.
3) Does the Falcon 1791DT come with a strike, or do I order one separately?
The TD35 strike ships standard with the device, so you do not need to buy a separate strike for a typical single door frame application. The latch throws 3/4 inch, which is what the TD35 is cut for, so if you plan to keep an existing strike, verify it accepts a 3/4 inch throw at the correct height rather than assuming the old prep lines up.
4) Can I get this Falcon device with a request to exit switch or electric latch retraction?
Yes. The 1791DT can be ordered with an RX request to exit switch, and electric latch retraction (EL) and electric dogging (ED) are both selectable options. RX gives your access control panel a signal when the pushpad is used; EL pulls the latch for remote or scheduled free access; ED dogs the device electrically on a time schedule instead of by hand. There is also an RX switch retrofit kit covering the 1690, 1790 and 2390 devices if you need to add monitoring to a device already on the door.
5) My door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches - is there a narrow stile rim device that fits?
The Falcon 1791DT is specified for 1-3/4 inch door thickness. For a thicker leaf, the Adams Rite 8800 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim exit device covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors and is Grade 1, not fire rated. Among wide stile options, the DORMA 9300 Series 48 inch also covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the SDC S6136 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch.
6) What is the closest narrow stile rim exit device to the Falcon 1791DT from another manufacturer?
For a narrow stile aluminum door, the closest peers to the Falcon 1791DT are the Corbin Russwin ED4200, a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device sized 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the TownSteel ED3700, a 36 inch Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device. Both, like the 1791DT, are not wood door compatible. The Falcon 1791DT is a 42 inch device rated ANSI A156.3-2001 Grade 1 with a 3/4 inch latch throw and dummy trim, meaning pull only on the outside, while the ED4200 is furnished exit only and accepts trim separately.
7) I need a fire rated narrow stile rim device instead of the Falcon 1791DT - what should I use?
The Falcon 1791DT is a panic-type narrow stile rim device and is not offered as a fire rated device. For a fire rated opening in a narrow stile door, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim exit device is fire rated and also wood door compatible. Other fire rated rim options include the Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO in Grade 1, the Arrow FS1250 at 32 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Marks USA M9900F in 36 and 48 inch exit only versions.
8) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Falcon 1791DT?
No handing to specify. The 1791DT is non-handed, so one part number covers left and right hand openings. That makes it easier to stock a single 42 inch device for a run of storefront doors in a building.
9) What finishes does the Falcon 1791DT come in to match my existing storefront?
Five finishes: DC13 dark bronze anodized aluminum, DC35 black anodized aluminum, US28 aluminum anodized (clear), US26 bright chrome and US26D satin chrome. DC13 and US28 are the usual matches for bronze and clear anodized storefront framing; DC35 suits black framing.
10) Should I use a rim device like this or a concealed vertical rod on my aluminum doors?
A rim device latches into a strike at the frame head, has fewer moving parts than a vertical rod system, and is quicker to adjust and service, which is why it is the usual pick for storefront work. Concealed vertical rod units, such as the Hager 4601 narrow stile CVR, hide the hardware in the stile for a cleaner look and latch top and bottom, but they need door prep and more setup. If the doors are already prepped for CVR, stay with CVR; for a straightforward surface application, the 1791DT rim is the simpler install.
11) Is the Falcon 1791DT tough enough for a school or hospital entrance?
Grade 1 to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2001, with cast metal cover plates and end caps, which is the level specified for medium to high use commercial and institutional traffic. Mounting screws are concealed, and there are no openings a chain or coat hanger can be fed through, both of which matter on doors that get tampered with after hours.
12) How do I hold the door in free access during business hours with this device?
The 1791DT has single point dogging built into the housing, so you depress the pad and dog it to hold the latch retracted for open traffic, then undog to restore latching at close. If you would rather have that happen on a schedule from the access control side, order it with the electric dogging option.
13) What other exit device is furnished with dummy trim like the Falcon 1791DT?
The Falcon 1791DT is a dummy function device with pull trim, so the outside pull does not retract the latch. Two other dummy function devices are the Detex Advantex 00 Series super-heavy-duty dummy exit device, which is a Grade 1 wide stile design, and the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM, a Grade 1 fire rated wide stile rim device in dummy function with RX and motorized electric latch retraction. Both are wide stile, so they suit a different door than the narrow stile 1791DT.
14) Falcon 1791DT versus a concealed vertical rod device - which do I specify?
The Falcon 1791DT is a surface rim device that latches to a strike, supplied with the TD35 strike, and uses fewer parts than a concealed vertical rod system. If the specification calls for concealed vertical rods instead, the Hager 4601 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit device, and the Hager 4501 Series 36 inch is the Grade 1 wide stile pushpad version. Rim and concealed vertical rod devices require different door and frame preparation, so they are not interchangeable on an existing prep.
15) I need a 48 inch device rather than the 42 inch Falcon 1791DT - what are the options?
The Falcon 1791DT covers a 42 inch device length. For a wider leaf, the Dexter ED1000-R-EO-4FT is a 4 foot Grade 1 rim exit device, the Cal-Royal A9820 is a 48 inch exit only rim device, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the DORMA 9300A is a 48 inch Grade 1 wide stile exit only device. Note these are not narrow stile devices, so confirm the stile width on an aluminum storefront door.
16) What narrow stile rim device should I look at for extra heavy duty traffic compared to the Falcon 1791DT?
The Falcon 1791DT is Grade 1 with cast metal cover plates and end caps for medium to high use commercial openings. Where an extra heavy duty narrow stile device is wanted, the Detex 40 Advantex Series is rated extra heavy duty and Grade 1 in a narrow stile design, not wood door compatible. The Stanley Security QED211 and Dormakaba QED200 are Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim devices in the same family.
