Falcon 1791DT 48IN US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the DT in Falcon 1791DT mean, and can you unlock this door from the outside?
DT is dummy trim, which on the Falcon 1791DT means a 9970 pull only on the outside. There is no cylinder and no keyed function, so the pull does not retract the latch. Anyone outside can only get in when the door is unlocked from the inside or dogged down. If you need key access from the exterior, you need a night latch or keyed lever trim function instead, not the DT.
2) Does the Falcon 1791DT come with a strike, or do I need to order one separately?
A TD35 strike ships standard with the device, so you are not buying the strike separately. Latch throw is 3/4 inch, so the frame must be prepped to seat that strike at the correct depth. If you are replacing another rim device, the old strike location will rarely line up, so plan on installing the TD35 to the Falcon template.
3) Can I get the Falcon 1791DT with a request-to-exit switch or electric latch retraction?
Yes on both. RX (request to exit) is an order option, and electric latch retraction (EL) and electric dogging (ED) are selectable as well. RX signals the access control panel that the pushpad was used; EL retracts the latch on command so the door can be pulled open from outside during unlocked hours; ED dogs the device electrically on a schedule. All three need power run to the door, so budget a transfer hinge or power transfer in the frame.
4) The opening needs a fire-rated exit device - what should I use instead of the Falcon 1791DT?
The Falcon 1791DT is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2001 Grade 1 for aluminum narrow stile doors but is a panic-type dummy trim device, not a fire-rated assembly. For a fire-rated opening, the Adams Rite 3700 Series in 30 inch is a fire-rated narrow stile rim device, and the Arrow FS1250 is a fire-rated 32 inch rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Dexter ED1000 Series is also offered in a fire-rated Grade 1 rim version.
5) I need a 48 inch rim exit device but the door is a wide stile - what takes the place of the Falcon 1791DT?
The Falcon 1791DT is a 48 inch narrow stile device for 1-3/4 inch aluminum doors and is not intended for wide stile prep. For a 48 inch wide stile opening, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a 48 inch crossbar rim device, Grade 1, for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Dormakaba 9300 Series is a 48 inch wide stile panic rim device, Grade 1, for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors; and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48 inch crossbar wide stile rim panic device.
6) What is the closest narrow stile Grade 1 rim exit device to the Falcon 1791DT if I need a different brand?
The Falcon 1791DT is a narrow stile rim exit device carrying ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2001 Grade 1 certification. Comparable narrow stile Grade 1 rim devices include the Corbin Russwin ED4200, a 36 inch narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the TownSteel ED3700 in 36 inch narrow stile, and the TownSteel ED8900, also 36 inch narrow stile. All three are narrow stile like the Falcon and are not rated for wood doors, which matches the 1791DT's aluminum door focus.
7) Is there another dummy-function exit device besides the Falcon 1791DT?
Yes. The Falcon 1791DT pairs a narrow stile rim device with 9970 pull-only dummy trim, so there is no keyed outside operation. Two other dummy-function devices are the Detex Advantex 00 Series, a super-heavy-duty Grade 1 dummy exit device with wide stile design, and the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM, a fire-rated wide stile rim device with dummy function plus RX and motorized electric latch retraction. Both are wide stile, so they suit a different door prep than the narrow stile Falcon.
8) Which alternatives to the Falcon 1791DT will work on a wood door?
The Falcon 1791DT is not rated for wood door use; it is built for 1-3/4 inch aluminum narrow stile doors. Where the same narrow stile look is needed on wood, the Adams Rite 8700 Series 30 inch and the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch are narrow stile Grade 1 rim devices listed as wood door compatible, with the 3700 also fire rated. The Adams Rite 8800 Series 30 inch, by contrast, is narrow stile for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors and is not wood door compatible.
9) What are the alternatives to the Falcon 1791DT for a narrow stile aluminum door?
Comparable narrow stile Grade 1 rim devices include the Corbin Russwin ED4200, which accepts trim on a 1-3/4 inch door, the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900, the Detex 40 Advantex rated extra heavy duty, and the Adams Rite 8800 Series, which covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors if your stile is thicker than standard. The Sargent 8504 is a narrow design rim device in night latch function if you need key entry from outside instead of a pull-only dummy trim.
10) Do I have to order the Falcon 1791DT handed?
No. It is non-handed, so one device covers both left and right hand reverse openings. That is useful if you are stocking spares for a building with doors swinging both ways.
11) Can I add an RX switch to a Falcon 1790 device already installed on the door?
Yes. Falcon publishes an RX switch retrofit kit covering the 1690, 1790 and 2390 devices, with its own installation instructions, so an existing 1790 can be field-converted rather than replaced when access control gets added later.
12) What finishes does the Falcon 1791DT come in for matching storefront doors?
Five: DC13 dark bronze anodized, DC35 black anodized, US28 aluminum anodized, US26 bright chrome and US26D satin chrome. The anodized options are the ones that match typical bronze, black and clear aluminum storefront framing.
13) Why choose the Falcon 1790 rim device over a vertical rod device on a pair of doors?
A rim device latches into a strike on the frame or on the inactive leaf, so on a pair you generally need a removable mullion or a strike on the other leaf. Concealed or surface vertical rod devices latch at the head and threshold instead and suit pairs without a mullion. For narrow stile pairs where you want the rod concealed inside the leaf, the Hager 4601 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device.
14) What looks like a substitute for the Falcon 1791DT but is not?
Narrow stile bars that are not mechanical latching rim devices are the common mix-up. The SDC MSB550 Series 36 inch is a mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release, and the SDC SureExit PSB560 Series 36 inch is a pressure sense bar - both mount on narrow or wide stile doors but release a separate electric lock rather than throwing a latch. The Falcon 1791DT throws a 3/4 inch latch into a supplied TD35 strike. Concealed vertical rod devices such as the Hager 4601 Series 36 inch narrow stile unit also differ: they latch top and bottom rather than at the strike jamb.
15) How does the Falcon 1791DT compare with the Von Duprin 22 Series for an aluminum storefront door?
The Von Duprin 22-3FT is a 36 inch non-handed Grade 1 rim exit device with a wide stile pushpad for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Falcon 1791DT is also non-handed and for 1-3/4 inch doors, but it is a 48 inch narrow stile device, which is the configuration used on narrow aluminum stiles, and it carries pull-only dummy trim rather than a lever or keyed trim.
16) How tamper-resistant is the Falcon 1791DT for a school or public building?
All mounting screws are concealed, so the device cannot be unscrewed from the push side with a driver. The pushpad design has no openings for a chain, which removes the usual chain-the-doors code violation and blocks coat-hanger style manipulation. Cover plates and end caps are cast metal rather than formed sheet, which is why it holds up in schools, hospitals and government buildings.
