Falcon 1792NL-OP/HB-OP Narrow Stile Rim Exit Device - Night Latch & Hold Back | 36" | 1790 Series

The Falcon 1792NL-OP/HB-OP is a narrow stile rim exit device from the 1790 Series, built for 36" aluminum doors with 1-3/4" door thickness. ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2001 Grade 1 certified, it combines a night latch cylinder (NL-OP) - which retracts the latch without unlocking the device - with a hold back cylinder (HB-OP) that retracts and holds the latch for controlled access. The streamlined rim design means fewer parts than concealed vertical rod devices, cast metal cover plates and end caps for institutional durability, and no openings for chains or forced-entry tools. Available with an optional RX Request-to-Exit switch for access control integration.

Key Features

  • Night Latch (NL-OP): Key retracts latch without unlocking the device - maintains egress security while allowing keyed entry.
  • Hold Back (HB-OP): Key retracts and holds latch back for open-door traffic flow; releases on next push of the pushpad.
  • Grade 1 Certified: ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2001 - rated for high-traffic commercial and institutional applications.
  • Aluminum Door Fit: Engineered specifically for narrow stile aluminum storefront doors; non-handed for simplified installation.
  • TD35 Strike Included: Strike supplied standard; no separate strike purchase required.
  • Concealed Fasteners: All mounting screws concealed for a clean finish and tamper resistance.
  • No Chain Openings: Rim design eliminates forced-entry risk via coat hangers or chains.
  • RX Option Available: Request-to-Exit switch variant (RX prefix SKUs) for access control and alarm integration.
  • Retrofits 2090 Series: Drop-in upgrade for existing 2090 Series crossbar devices without door modification.

Falcon 1792NL-OP/HB-OP 36IN US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between night latch and hold back on a Falcon 1792 exit device?
Two cylinder functions on the same device, and they solve different problems. Night latch (NL-OP) lets a key retract the latch for entry without unlocking the device, so the door relocks behind you. Hold back (HB-OP) retracts the latch and keeps it held back, so the door stays pull-open for a delivery window or business hours, and the next push on the pushpad drops it back to latched. The 1792NL-OP/HB-OP carries both. Egress is unaffected either way, the pushpad always releases from inside.
2) Do I need to order a strike separately for the Falcon 1790 Series rim device?
No. The TD35 strike ships with the device as standard, so the frame side is covered in the box. What is not in the box is outside trim: the 1792NL-OP/HB-OP is supplied less trim, and the cylinder functions are keyed cylinder functions, so you are supplying the mortise cylinder yourself in whatever keyway the building is on. Mounting screws are all concealed, so no exposed fastener heads on the pushpad side.
3) Can I replace a Falcon 2090 crossbar device with this one without redrilling the door?
Yes. The 1792NL-OP/HB-OP is a drop-in upgrade for existing Falcon 2090 Series crossbar devices, no door modification required. That is the cleanest way off an aging crossbar without pulling and reprepping an aluminum leaf. You go from a crossbar to a pushpad, and the cast metal cover plates and end caps hold up better in high traffic. Confirm your leaf is 36 inches and 1-3/4 inches thick, which is what the 3FT size covers.
4) What is the Grade 1 rating on the Falcon 1790 Series exit device, and does it meet our spec?
The 1792NL-OP/HB-OP is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2001 Grade 1, the top cycle and strength tier for exit devices, and it is a commercial device. If your drawing calls for Grade 1 panic hardware on an aluminum storefront opening, this meets it. Worth noting for facility standardization: several narrow stile alternatives ZenSupply carries also hold Grade 1, including the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 at 36 inches, the Corbin Russwin ED4200, and the Detex 40 Advantex.
5) Can I get the Falcon 1792 exit device with a request to exit switch for our access control?
Yes, RX is a factory option on the 1792NL-OP/HB-OP and you pick it at order time, RX yes or no. The request to exit signal is what tells the access control panel the pushpad was pressed, so the door position switch does not report a forced entry on a legitimate exit. Electric latch retraction (EL) and electric dogging (ED) are separately selectable options as well. Falcon also publishes an RX switch retrofit kit installation instruction covering the 1690, 1790 and 2390 devices if you are adding the switch to a device already on the door.
6) My door is a hollow metal or wood door, not aluminum. Will the Falcon 1792 work?
Not on wood. The 1792NL-OP/HB-OP is a narrow stile device built for aluminum, and it is not rated for wood doors. On a wider stile hollow metal leaf a narrow stile chassis is the wrong footprint anyway, the pushpad is short and the mounting lands off the rail. Go to a wide stile rim device instead. ZenSupply carries the Von Duprin 22-3FT at 36 inches, non-handed, Grade 1, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED5200 Grade 1 at 36 inches in wide stile.
7) Will a Von Duprin 22 rim device fit the same aluminum storefront door as the Falcon 1792NL-OP/HB-OP?
The two are not interchangeable on the same leaf even though the headline numbers look identical. The Von Duprin 22-3FT is a 36 inch non-handed Grade 1 rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, matching the Falcon 1792NL-OP/HB-OP on width, thickness, handing and grade, but it is a wide stile pushpad device. The Falcon 1792NL-OP/HB-OP is a narrow stile device built for the narrow rail of an aluminum storefront leaf. A wide stile chassis is prepped and sized for a wide stile door, so the deciding measurement is the stile itself, not the door width. The same holds for the Corbin Russwin ED2200 and the Detex 10 Advantex, both catalogued as wide stile.
8) What is the closest equivalent to the Falcon 1792NL-OP/HB-OP from another manufacturer?
The Corbin Russwin ED4200 is the nearest match on the core specs: it is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors, the same width, stile type, thickness and grade the Falcon 1792NL-OP/HB-OP is built to under ANSI A156.3-2001. The TownSteel ED3700 is a second option at 36 inches, Grade 1, narrow stile, heavy duty. Where they part company is the cylinder function: the Falcon 1792NL-OP/HB-OP combines a night latch cylinder that retracts the latch without unlocking the device with a hold back cylinder that retracts and holds the latch until the pushpad is pressed, while the ED4200 is catalogued as exit only and accepts trim for its outside function.
9) Which narrow stile rim exit device besides the Falcon 1792NL-OP/HB-OP gives keyed entry through a night latch?
The Sargent 8504 is catalogued with a night latch function in a narrow design rim device, Grade 1, narrow stile. Both give a key that pulls the latch back so the door can be entered from outside without the device itself being unlocked. The difference is what the Falcon 1792NL-OP/HB-OP adds on top of that: a second hold back cylinder function that retracts the latch and holds it back for open-door traffic, releasing on the next push of the pushpad. If the opening needs to be keyed open in the morning and left free-swinging until closing, that hold back function is the deciding spec; if all that is wanted is keyed re-entry, the Sargent 8504 covers it.
10) The aluminum opening is fire labeled - which narrow stile rim device should be specified?
Look at the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch device, which is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device carrying a fire rating. For fire-labeled openings at 36 inches, the Orca OED85 is a 36 inch fire rated rim device and the Marks USA M9900F is a 36 inch fire rated rim device in exit only function. The Falcon 1792NL-OP/HB-OP is certified to ANSI A156.3-2001 Grade 1 for high-traffic commercial and institutional openings and ships with the TD35 strike; a fire-labeled opening is where the Adams Rite 3700, Orca OED85 or Marks M9900F belong instead.
11) Some of the doors are wood rather than aluminum - what rim device covers those?
The Falcon 1792NL-OP/HB-OP is engineered for narrow stile aluminum construction and is not wood door compatible. For the wood leaves, the Adams Rite 8700 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device listed as wood door compatible, and the Adams Rite 3700 Series is the same narrow stile Grade 1 platform with a fire rating and wood door compatibility. Both are 30 inch devices, so confirm the wood door width before ordering against a 36 inch aluminum opening.
12) The doors measure thicker than 1-3/4 inches - which rim exit device covers that?
The Falcon 1792NL-OP/HB-OP is specified for 1-3/4 inch door thickness. Where the leaf is thicker, the Adams Rite 8800 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, which is the direct swap for a thicker narrow stile aluminum door. On wide stile leaves in that same range, the DORMA 9300A covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch as a Grade 1 heavy duty rim device at 48 inches, and the Securitron EMB exit bar is listed at 2-1/4 inch. Measure the stile face to face before choosing, since thickness and stile type both have to match.
13) Can an SDC MSB550 switch bar be used in place of the Falcon 1792NL-OP/HB-OP?
Only if the opening's security comes from an electromagnetic lock rather than a latch. The SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and it fits narrow or wide stile doors, but the bar itself is a release device. The Falcon 1792NL-OP/HB-OP is a mechanical latching rim device with a 3/4 inch latch throw into a TD35 strike, ANSI A156.3-2001 Grade 1. On a maglock-secured aluminum leaf the MSB550 is the right part; on a door that has to latch and hold shut on its own, the rim device is. The SDC PSB560 pressure sense bar sits in the same release category rather than the latching one.
14) Does the Falcon 1792 rim exit device need to be handed?
No handing to specify. The 1790 Series rim device is non-handed, so the same part goes on a left hand reverse or right hand reverse storefront leaf with no field conversion and no separate SKU. That is the practical reason to keep one on the shelf if you maintain a building with doors swinging both ways, one part number covers every opening of that size.
15) Should I use a rim exit device or a concealed vertical rod on my aluminum door?
A rim device latches into a strike on the frame stop, so it works on a single leaf or on a pair with a mullion, and it has fewer parts to maintain than a concealed vertical rod. That is the argument for the Falcon 1792, along with no chain or coat hanger openings for a forced entry attempt. A concealed vertical rod latches at the head and threshold instead, which is what you want on a pair of doors with no center mullion. For that case ZenSupply carries the Hager 4601 Series concealed vertical rod in narrow stile at 36 inches.
16) What finishes does the Falcon 1792 narrow stile rim device come in, and can I match my other storefront doors?
Five finishes: 628 aluminum anodized, DC13 dark bronze anodized, DC35 black anodized, 625 bright chrome, and 626 satin chrome. The three anodized options are the ones that match standard aluminum storefront framing, 628 for clear anodized and DC13 for the common dark bronze package. All five are available with or without the RX switch, so adding access control later does not force a finish change on the openings you have already done.
17) What else could I buy instead of the Falcon 1792 for a narrow stile aluminum door?
Several narrow stile rim devices at ZenSupply cover the same opening. The Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors and accepts trim. The TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 are both Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile at 36 inches. The Arrow 4800 Series at 36 inches is narrow stile, exit only, for 1-3/4 inch doors. Adams Rite 8700 and 8800 Series use starwheel interlocking, and the 8800 covers a wider 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch thickness range if your leaf is thicker than the Falcon allows. For extra heavy duty traffic, the Detex 40 Advantex is a Grade 1 narrow stile option.
18) I need night latch function specifically. Is the Falcon 1792 the only option?
Night latch is the function where a key retracts the latch for entry without unlocking the device, and the 1792NL-OP/HB-OP pairs it with hold back on the same unit, which is the part most competing devices do not bundle. If you need night latch on a narrow stile door from another brand, ZenSupply carries the Sargent 8504, a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device with night latch function. On a wide stile opening, the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device with night latch trim.
19) Will the 3/4 inch latch on the Falcon 1792 catch my existing frame strike?
Only if that strike is a rim strike prepped on the frame stop for this device. The latch throws 3/4 inch, and the TD35 strike that comes with the 1792NL-OP/HB-OP is what it is set up to engage, so the safe path is to use the supplied strike and template the frame for it rather than reuse whatever is there. If you are coming off a Falcon 2090 crossbar device the swap is a drop-in and the door needs no modification, but still set the latch to the 3/4 inch throw and check the 3-3/8 inch projection clears at final adjustment.
20) Can the Falcon 1792 be dogged down to leave the door pull-open during business hours?
Two ways to get there, and they are ordered differently. The hold back cylinder function (HB-OP) is mechanical, a key retracts and holds the latch, and the next push of the pushpad drops it back to latched, so a staff member restores security without a key. Electric dogging (ED) is a separately selectable option if you want the door held open on a schedule from the access control system. Electric latch retraction (EL) is also selectable for card reader driven retraction. Pick these at order time, they are not field additions.
21) How does the Hager 4601 narrow stile device differ from the Falcon 1792NL-OP/HB-OP?
Both are Grade 1 narrow stile exit devices at 36 inches, but they latch in completely different places. The Hager 4601 is a concealed vertical rod device, latching at the head and sill through rods run inside the door. The Falcon 1792NL-OP/HB-OP is a rim device that latches into a TD35 strike on the frame with a 3/4 inch throw, which means fewer parts than a concealed vertical rod device and a door that does not need to be prepped for rods. If the existing leaf is already prepped for concealed rods, the 4601 drops into that prep; if the frame will take a surface strike, the rim device is the simpler installation.
22) The exit door is wider than 36 inches - what rim exit device covers the wider leaf?
The Falcon 1792NL-OP/HB-OP is a 36 inch device, so a wider leaf needs a longer chassis. The Dexter ED1000 is offered in a 4FT length as a Grade 1 rim device, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 crossbar rim device at 48 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch push bar rim device. Match stile type as well as length: the ED3200 is catalogued wide stile, so on a wide aluminum leaf confirm the rail width the chassis needs.
23) Which comparable devices dog the latch open mechanically instead of with a key cylinder?
The Stanley QED211 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex key dogging, and the Design Hardware 1000R is a 33 inch heavy duty rim device also with hex key dogging. On the Falcon 1792NL-OP/HB-OP, the equivalent open-door condition is produced by the hold back cylinder, which retracts and holds the latch back and releases on the next push of the pushpad. The practical difference is who can do it: hex key dogging is done with an allen wrench at the device, while the hold back is worked by the same key that operates the cylinder.
24) For an access-controlled aluminum entry, how does the Falcon 1792NL-OP/HB-OP compare to an electrified rim device?
The Falcon 1792NL-OP/HB-OP is available with an RX request-to-exit switch for access control and alarm integration, so the mechanical narrow stile device carries the signal back to the panel while latching into the TD35 strike. The SDC S6136 is an electrified architectural rim device at 36 inches on a 4 inch wide stile, covering 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Dormakaba E2103 is a 36 inch electrified rim device supplied with 4908A trim in a classroom function. Those two are wide stile or trim-driven answers; on a narrow aluminum stile where egress signalling is the requirement, the RX version of the 1792NL-OP/HB-OP keeps the narrow stile fit.
