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.

Professional Features & Benefits

  • 48" Door Width Compatibility: Designed specifically for narrow stile aluminum doors with 1-3/4" door thickness requirements.
  • Grade 1 Durability: ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2001 certified for heavy-duty commercial applications in high-traffic environments.
  • Dual Function Operation: Night latch mode allows key retraction of latch without unlocking device, while hold back mode retracts and holds latch back for extended access.
  • Streamlined Rim Design: Fewer parts and pieces than vertical rod devices result in reduced maintenance requirements and simplified adjustments.
  • Cast Metal Construction: Cast metal cover plates and end caps provide exceptional durability for demanding institutional applications.
  • Enhanced Security Design: No openings for chains eliminates tampering risks and forced entry attempts via coat hangers or similar tools.
  • Single-Point Dogging: Quick dogging feature in housing deactivates device for unrestricted traffic flow when needed.
  • Manufacturer Warranty: 10-year limited warranty provides long-term protection and confidence in product reliability.

Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P 48IN US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the NL/HB function on the Falcon 1794 actually do at the door?
Two key behaviors in one device. Night latch means the key retracts the latch but does not unlock the device, so the door relatches behind you. Hold back means the key retracts and holds the latch back, leaving the opening free for deliveries or peak traffic. The device itself is exit only, so from the outside you get the pull and cylinder, not a lever or knob.
2) Will the Falcon 1794 latch into a strike I already have, or does a strike come with it?
A TD35 strike ships standard with the device, so plan on using it rather than the old one. Latch throw is 3/4 inch and the device projects 3-3/8 inches off the door face, which is what you need to clear on the frame stop and in the traffic path.
3) Can I get request-to-exit or electric latch retraction on the Falcon 1790 device?
Yes, all three electrical options are order choices. RX request-to-exit switch is selected yes or no on the device, and EL electric latch retraction and ED electric dogging are each specified at time of order. If you already have a 1690, 1790 or 2390 device in the field, Falcon publishes an RX switch retrofit kit so the switch can be added later rather than replacing the device.
4) Is the Falcon 1794 fire rated?
The 1794NL-P/HB-P is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2001 Grade 1 for heavy commercial traffic. Its dogging feature holds the latch retracted for free traffic flow, which is a panic, not fire exit, arrangement. If the opening is in a fire rated assembly, order a device carried as fire rated, such as the Marks USA M9900F in 48 inch or the Adams Rite 3700 Series narrow stile.
5) Can I use this rim device on a pair of aluminum doors with no mullion?
No. A rim device latches into a strike on the frame or mullion, so on a pair without a center mullion there is nothing for the 3/4 inch latch to catch. Either add a mullion and run rim devices on both leaves, or go to a vertical rod device that latches at head and threshold, such as the Hager 4601 concealed vertical rod narrow stile unit.
6) The door is a wood or hollow metal wide stile door, not aluminum - what rim device should I use instead of the Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P?
The Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P is built for narrow stile aluminum doors and is not wood door compatible. For a wide stile door, the Von Duprin 22-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile pushpad rim device for 36 inch, non-handed, 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device at 36 inch that accepts trim. If the door is wood, the Adams Rite 8700 Series is Grade 1, narrow stile, and wood door compatible.
7) What is the closest narrow stile rim exit device to the Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P with a night latch function?
The Sargent 8504 is the closest match on function: it is a narrow stile rim exit device with a Night Latch function, Grade 1, and not wood door compatible. The Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P is also Grade 1 under ANSI A156.3-2001, narrow stile, and non-handed, and it adds hold back to the night latch so a key can retract and hold the latch back. The Falcon comes in a 48 inch size for the wider aluminum openings.
8) Does the Falcon 1794 need to be ordered left or right hand?
No handing to specify. The 1794NL-P/HB-P is non-handed, so one device covers either swing. That is the normal advantage of a rim device: the latch works off the strike on the frame stop rather than off rods at head and threshold.
9) Why pick a rim device over a vertical rod on aluminum storefront?
Fewer moving parts. The 1790 Series rim design has fewer pieces than a vertical rod device, so there is less to adjust and less to maintain over time, and all mounting screws are concealed. The tradeoff is that it needs a strike at the jamb or a mullion, where a vertical rod can secure a mullion-free pair.
10) Will the Falcon 1790 device replace an old crossbar panic on our aluminum doors?
Falcon lists the 1790 Series as a retrofit for 2090 Series crossbar devices, so a crossbar-to-pushpad swap on those openings is anticipated. It is a narrow stile, 1-3/4 inch, aluminum door device, so the existing leaf has to match those conditions.
11) Is this device secure enough to stop someone chaining the doors or fishing the latch?
The 1790 Series push pad has no openings for chains, which removes the usual point where doors get chained shut or a coat hanger gets worked through. Cover plates and end caps are cast metal, and all mounting screws are concealed so they can't be backed out from the pull side.
12) Does the Corbin Russwin ED4200 do the same job as the Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P?
The Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors, exit only and accepts trim, in a 36 inch size. The Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P is also Grade 1 narrow stile for 1-3/4 inch doors but is a 48 inch device supplied with the night latch and hold back function and a pull, rather than being ordered less trim and paired with separate trim.
13) What are my options for a 48 inch rim exit device besides the Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P?
At 48 inch, the Dexter ED1000 Series 4FT is a Grade 1 rim device, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch wide stile doors, and the Dormakaba 9300 Series 48 inch is a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile device for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P differs in being narrow stile for 1-3/4 inch aluminum doors with night latch and hold back plus a pull.
14) I need an electrified exit bar tied to an access control system - is the Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P the right choice or is there a better fit?
The Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P can be ordered with a request to exit switch, electric latch retraction, or electric dogging, which covers most access control tie-ins on a narrow stile aluminum door. If the application is a switch bar releasing an electromagnetic lock rather than a latching device, the SDC MSB550 Series 36 inch mechanical switch bar fits narrow or wide stile doors, and the SDC PSB560 SureExit pressure sense bar does the same with tri-failsafe technology. The Securitron EMB electromechanical exit bar is built for 2-1/4 inch doors.
15) If the frame will not take a rim strike, what narrow stile device can I use instead of the Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P?
The Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P is a rim device that latches to a TD35 strike supplied standard, so it needs a frame stop that will accept a surface rim strike. Where that is not available, the Hager 4601 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device that latches top and bottom instead, and the Dormakaba QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow device supplied with a 7 ft rod.
16) What finishes does the Falcon 1794NL-P/HB-P come in for matching existing storefront hardware?
Five: DC13 dark bronze anodized, DC35 black anodized, US28 aluminum anodized, US26 bright chrome and US26D satin chrome. The anodized aluminum options are the ones that usually match dark bronze and clear storefront framing already on the building.
