Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P 42IN US28 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P fit an aluminum storefront door, and can I use it on a wood door?
It's built for narrow stile aluminum doors and it is not rated for wood doors. Door thickness is 1-3/4 inches only, and the device projects 3-3/8 inches off the face of the door, so check your push/pull clearance in a vestibule or tight entry. If the opening is a wood or hollow metal door, look at a wide stile rim device instead, like the Corbin Russwin ED5200 or the Von Duprin 22 Series.
2) What does the NL/HB night latch hold back function actually do on a Falcon 1790 exit device?
Two things from the outside. Night latch lets a key in the rim cylinder retract the latch for entry without changing the state of the push pad. Hold back goes a step further: the key retracts the latch and holds it back, so the door stays pull-open until you key it again. That's how a school or clinic props an entry unlocked during business hours without a chock in the door. The device itself is exit only, meaning free egress from the inside at all times.
3) Is a rim cylinder included with the Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P, or do I have to order it separately?
Order the cylinder separately. The 1794NL-P/HB-P ships less trim, so the outside pull and the rim cylinder that drives the night latch and hold back are not part of the device. Locksmiths keying a building will want a rim cylinder in the facility's keyway with the standard rim tailpiece. The TD35 strike does come with the device.
4) Will the 3/4 inch latch throw work with my existing strike on an aluminum frame?
The latch throws 3/4 inch and the device comes with the Falcon TD35 rim strike, which is what it's designed to engage. If you're replacing another rim device, plan on swapping the strike too rather than trying to reuse the old one, since rim strike lip and pocket depth varies by maker and a mismatch gives you a latch that rides the lip instead of seating.
5) Can I get this Falcon device with a request to exit switch or electric latch retraction for my access control system?
Yes on all three electrical options. RX request to exit is a build choice on the device, and electric latch retraction (EL) and electric dogging (ED) are both selectable when you order. Integrators: RX gives you the signal to shunt an alarm on legitimate egress, EL lets the access control system pull the latch for remote or scheduled unlock, and ED unlocks the pad on a time schedule without pulling the latch. Falcon also publishes an RX switch retrofit kit covering the 1690, 1790 and 2390 devices if you need to add the switch to a device already hung.
6) Can one of these secure a pair of aluminum doors with no mullion?
No. A rim device latches into a strike at the frame or a mullion, so on a pair you either add a removable mullion and run a rim device on each leaf, or switch to vertical rod devices that latch at the head and threshold. For a mullion-free pair in narrow stile aluminum, a concealed vertical rod device such as the Hager 4601 Series is the alternative.
7) The Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P is not fire rated - what narrow stile device should I use on a fire door opening?
Correct, a fire rated opening needs a labeled device. The Adams Rite 3700 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device listed as fire rated, and it is also listed as wood door compatible. Other fire rated rim devices include the Arrow FS1250, the Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO in Grade 1, the Orca OED85 Series, and the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch and 48 inch. Confirm the label on the door and frame matches the device rating.
8) What other narrow stile rim exit devices can replace a Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P on an aluminum storefront door?
The Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors and is not rated for wood doors. Comparable Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices include the Corbin Russwin ED4200, which is also listed for 1-3/4 inch doors and not wood door compatible; the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900, both Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim devices; the Detex 40 Advantex, an extra heavy duty Grade 1 narrow stile rim device; and the Adams Rite 8800 Series, a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Chassis footprint and door prep differ by manufacturer, so verify the existing cutout before swapping.
9) Is there another night latch exit device besides the Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P?
Yes. The Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P is a night latch / hold back device with pull on a narrow stile rim chassis. The Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device whose listed function is Night Latch, making it the closest function-for-function alternative in a narrow stile chassis. On the wide stile side, the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device supplied with night latch trim, but its wide stile chassis will not fit the narrow aluminum stile the Falcon is built for.
10) My door is thicker than 1-3/4 inch - what rim device should I order instead of the Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P?
The Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P lists a door thickness of 1-3/4 inch. For a thicker leaf, the Adams Rite 8800 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. In wide stile, the DORMA 9300 Series covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch and the SDC S6136 Spectra covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Measure the leaf at the lock stile before ordering.
11) Do I need to specify handing for this Falcon narrow stile rim device?
No handing to call out. The 1794NL-P/HB-P is non-handed, so one part number covers left and right hand openings. That matters for property managers stocking spares across a building: one device on the shelf fits any of the aluminum entries.
12) Is this device secure enough for a high traffic school or hospital entrance?
It's certified Grade 1 to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2001, the top commercial grade for exit hardware, with cast metal cover plates and end caps. All mounting screws are concealed, so there's no exposed fastener to back out with a driver. The streamlined pad has no opening to thread a chain or a coat hanger through, which is the usual after-hours defeat on an older crossbar device and also the usual code violation when staff chain the doors shut.
13) Can I substitute a Von Duprin 22 for the Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P?
Not on the same opening. The Von Duprin 22-3FT is a Grade 1 non-handed rim pushpad device for 1-3/4 inch doors, but it is a wide stile chassis, while the Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P is narrow stile with a 3-3/8 inch projection sized for aluminum stiles. Other wide stile Grade 1 rim devices in the same position include the Corbin Russwin ED2200, the Detex 10 Advantex, and the TownSteel ED9700. Use one of these only if the door has a wide lock stile to land the chassis on.
14) Is there a simpler exit-only rim device if I do not need the night latch and hold back pull?
Yes. If the opening only needs free egress with no key retraction, the BEST 2401 Series is a non-handed narrow stile rim exit device in exit only, and the Marks USA M8800 is a 36 inch narrow stile rim device in exit only. The Arrow 4800 Series is another narrow stile exit only rim device listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P adds the night latch and hold back pull function on the outside, which those exit only devices do not carry.
15) What is the difference between the Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P and the Corbin Russwin ED4200?
Both are Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit devices for 1-3/4 inch aluminum doors, and neither is wood door compatible or fire rated. The Corbin Russwin ED4200 is listed as exit only and accepts trim, so the outside function is set by the trim you specify. The Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P comes configured with the night latch / hold back pull, ships with a TD35 strike, and is offered with an RX request to exit switch option and electric latch retraction or electric dogging.
16) I need an electrified narrow stile exit device - is the Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P the right choice or is there an alternative?
The Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P can be ordered with an RX request to exit switch and with electric latch retraction or electric dogging, which covers most access control tie-ins on a narrow aluminum door. If you would rather use a bar that is electrified from the start, the SDC MSB550 Series mechanical switch bar and the SDC SureExit PSB560 pressure sense bar are both listed for narrow or wide stile doors. Those SDC bars release an electromagnetic lock rather than throwing a latch, so they are a different security approach, not a drop-in for a latching rim device.
17) I need a 48 inch device - the Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P is 42 inches. What are my options?
The Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P covered here is a 42 inch device for narrow stile aluminum doors. For a wider leaf, the Dexter ED1000 Series is offered in a 4FT Grade 1 rim device, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device, and the Sargent 2828 and 3828 are Grade 1 reversible rim devices for 48 inch minimum door width. Those wider options are wide stile chassis, so confirm the lock stile width on your door.
18) What finishes does the Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P come in for matching existing storefront hardware?
Five finishes: DC13 dark bronze anodized, DC35 black anodized, US28 aluminum anodized, US26 bright chrome and US26D satin chrome. The three anodized options are the ones that match typical aluminum storefront framing, dark bronze and black being the common curtain wall colors. All five are available with or without the RX switch.
