Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P 48" Narrow Stile Rim Exit Device with Night Latch/Hold Back Function and Pull
Professional Grade 1 Exit Device for Aluminum Door Applications
The Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P is a 48" narrow stile rim exit device from the 1790 Series, specifically engineered for aluminum doors requiring reliable egress control. This ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 certified device features dual functionality with night latch operation (key retracts latch but does not unlock exit device) and hold back capability (key retracts and holds latch back) with integrated pull hardware. The streamlined rim design eliminates maintenance concerns with fewer parts than vertical rod devices while providing 3/4" latch throw and 3-3/8" projection for secure operation.
