Falcon 1791DT 36IN US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the DT (dummy trim) on the Falcon 1791DT actually do from the outside?
The exterior trim is a 9970 pull only. There is no key, no lever retraction, and no way to release the latch from outside. Anyone outside pulls on the handle; the door only opens if the device has been dogged down or someone pushes the pad from inside. Pick this for exit-only openings where outside entry is handled by another door or by dogging the pad during business hours.
2) Does the Falcon 1791DT come with a strike, or do I order one separately?
A TD35 strike ships standard with the device, so the frame side is covered in the box. The latch throws 3/4 inch, which is what the TD35 is cut for. If you are reusing an existing rim strike, confirm it engages a 3/4 inch throw before you skip the supplied one.
3) Is the Falcon 1790 Series rim device fire rated?
The 1791DT is a panic device certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2001 Grade 1, and it includes dogging, which is not permitted on a fire door. For a fire-rated opening choose a labeled device instead, such as the Adams Rite 3700 Series narrow stile rim device or the Arrow FS1250, both of which we carry as fire rated.
4) Can I get the Falcon 1791DT with a request-to-exit switch for my access control system?
Yes, RX is an orderable option on the 1791DT in every finish offered. If you already have a 1790 Series device in the field without RX, Falcon publishes an RX switch retrofit kit covering the 1690, 1790 and 2390 devices, so the switch can be added later rather than replacing the bar.
5) I need a narrow stile rim device that accepts keyed outside trim, not a dummy pull. What should I look at?
The 1791DT is non-keyed by design, so it will never give you outside key access. For a narrow stile rim device that accepts trim, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device listed as exit only, accepts trim, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Sargent 8504 is a narrow stile rim device in night latch function if you want key retraction of the latch from outside.
6) What is the closest narrow stile 36 inch rim exit device to the Falcon 1791DT from another manufacturer?
The Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors, which matches the Falcon 1791DT on stile type, size, and grade. The TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 are also Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices at 36 inches. The difference is trim: the Falcon 1791DT ships with 9970 dummy pull-only trim, while the ED4200 is catalogued exit only and accepts trim separately.
7) The 1791DT will not work on my fire-rated opening - what narrow stile rim device should I use instead?
The Falcon 1791DT is a dummy-function device with pull-only trim and no fire rating is carried for it. For a labeled opening, the Adams Rite 3700 Series is a fire-rated Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device, offered in a 30 inch device and also listed as wood door compatible. Arrow's FS1250 is a fire rated 32 inch rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and Orca OED85 is a fire rated 36 inch rim device.
8) My storefront door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches - what rim device fits?
The Falcon 1791DT is specified for 1-3/4 inch door thickness. Where the door is thicker, the Adams Rite 8800 Series narrow stile rim exit device covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. In wide stile, the DORMA 9300 Series also covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the SDC S6136 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch.
9) Do I need to specify handing when ordering the Falcon 1791DT?
No. The 1791DT is non-handed, so one part number covers left and right hand openings. That makes it easier to stock a spare across a building with doors swinging both ways.
10) What is the dogging on the 1791DT and when would I use it?
Single-point quick dogging built into the housing holds the pushpad depressed so the latch stays retracted. During open hours you dog the device and the door pushes and pulls freely, which matters here because the outside trim is pull-only with no key. Undog it and the door relatches, exit only.
11) What electrified options can I add to the Falcon 1791DT when I order it?
Two electric options are selected at order: EL electric latch retraction, which pulls the latch in remotely for scheduled unlock or card access, and ED electric dogging, which does the same job as manual dogging but on a timer or from the access panel. RX request-to-exit is a separate choice. Pick EL if you need the opening to unlock from a credential, ED if you only need scheduled free passage.
12) What is the difference between this narrow stile rim device and a wide stile one like the Von Duprin 22?
Stile width is the deciding factor. The 1791DT is built for the narrow vertical stile of an aluminum storefront leaf. A wide stile device such as the Von Duprin 22-3FT or the Corbin Russwin ED5200 needs the broader rail you get on a hollow metal or wood door, and will not mount on a typical storefront stile. Both of those peers are also 1-3/4 inch door devices at 36 inches, so the choice is about the door type, not the size.
13) Which other narrow stile Grade 1 rim devices could replace the Falcon 1791DT on a 36 inch aluminum door?
Same class alternatives we carry at 36 inches include the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900, both Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim devices for non-wood doors, and the Detex 40 Advantex, a Grade 1 extra heavy duty narrow stile device. The Adams Rite 8800 Series is another narrow stile rim option, rated 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors if your leaf is thicker than 1-3/4. None of those is a dummy-trim package, so specify trim separately.
14) Is a rim device the right choice for a pair of storefront doors, or do I need vertical rods?
A rim device latches into a strike on the frame or on a mullion, so on a pair you need a removable mullion between the leaves. Without a mullion, use a vertical rod device that latches at the head and sill instead, such as the Hager 4601 Series concealed vertical rod narrow stile device. The tradeoff is maintenance: the rim design here has fewer moving parts than a vertical rod device.
15) Is the Falcon 1791DT tough enough for a school or hospital exit door?
It is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2001 Grade 1, the highest durability class for exit devices, with cast metal cover plates and end caps. The housing is sealed with no openings, which blocks the common trick of running a chain or coat hanger through the bar to defeat it, and all mounting screws are concealed so the device cannot be unbolted from the push side.
16) What is another dummy-function exit device besides the Falcon 1791DT?
The Falcon 1791DT is the narrow stile choice. On the wide stile side, the Detex Advantex 00 Series is a Grade 1 super-heavy-duty dummy exit device, and the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a Grade 1 dummy-function fire-rated wide stile rim device with RX and motorized electric latch retraction. Both need the wider stile the Falcon narrow stile device does not require.
17) What is the wide stile equivalent of the Falcon 1791DT for a hollow metal door?
The Falcon 1791DT is narrow stile for aluminum doors. On a wide stile door, the Von Duprin 22-3FT is a Grade 1 non-handed wide stile pushpad rim device at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim. TownSteel ED1100 and ED9700 are Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile rim devices at 36 inches.
18) Is an SDC pressure sense bar or switch bar a substitute for the Falcon 1791DT?
No. The SDC PSB560 is a 36 inch pressure sense bar and the SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release - both are switching bars that release a separate electric lock, listed for narrow or wide stile. The Falcon 1791DT is a mechanical rim exit device with its own 3/4 inch latch throw and TD35 strike, so it latches the door itself.
19) Is a concealed vertical rod device an alternative to the Falcon 1791DT?
They solve different openings. The Hager 4601 Series is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod narrow stile exit device at 36 inches, and the Hager 4501 is the wide stile concealed vertical rod version. The Falcon 1791DT is a rim device that strikes the frame and, with fewer parts than vertical rod devices, keeps maintenance down; the concealed rod devices latch top and bottom instead.
20) What 48 inch rim exit device should I order if the Falcon 1791DT is too short for the door?
The Falcon 1791DT is a 36 inch device. For a wider leaf, the Dexter ED1000 Series is offered in a 4FT Grade 1 rim exit device, the Cal-Royal A9820 is a 48 inch rim device, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Note those are not narrow stile devices the way the 1791DT is.
21) What finishes does the Falcon 1791DT come in to match my storefront?
Five: DC13 dark bronze anodized, DC35 black anodized, 628 clear aluminum anodized, 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome. The anodized aluminum finishes are the ones that match standard storefront framing; 625 and 626 are the chrome options if you are matching existing plated hardware on the other doors.
22) Is the Detex 40 Advantex a heavier narrow stile option than the Falcon 1791DT?
The Detex 40 Advantex Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device rated extra heavy duty and not wood door compatible. The Falcon 1791DT is Grade 1 narrow stile with cast metal cover plates and end caps and concealed mounting screws for tamper resistance. Both suit aluminum storefront; the Detex carries the extra heavy duty designation, the Falcon carries the dummy pull trim.
