Falcon 19-R-EO SP28 3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon 19-R latch into the strike already on my frame, or do I have to change it?
Plan on the F570 strike. The 19-R throws a 3/4 inch latch and is set up to catch the Falcon F570, so an old strike with a shallower pocket or a different lip position will not hold that throw reliably. On a storefront the strike lands on the frame face opposite the latch case, which is why a rim device is the easy retrofit on aluminum: no rods, no threshold prep, one strike.
2) Can I use a rim exit device like the Falcon 19-R on a pair of doors?
Only if there is a mullion between the leaves. A rim device latches sideways into a strike on the frame, so on a pair it needs a mullion to latch into, and each leaf takes its own device. If the pair has no mullion and the opening has to stay clear, a rim device is the wrong type, and you want a vertical rod device that latches at the head and the sill instead. In narrow stile, the Hager 4601 Series 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device is that alternative.
3) How do I hold the door unlocked during business hours with the Falcon 19-R?
Dogging, and you pick which kind when you order: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Hex uses an allen key to hold the pushpad depressed so the latch stays retracted and the door pushes open freely. Cylinder dogging does the same job but takes a keyed cylinder, which is what most property managers want when staff should not be carrying a dogging key. Less dogging means no dogging at all, and it is the correct choice on a fire door assembly, where mechanical dogging is not permitted.
4) Is there a fire rated version of the Falcon 19-R rim exit device?
Fire rated and standard configurations both, and each one comes in all three finishes: 628 aluminum anodized, 630 satin stainless, and SP313 dark bronze anodized. The fire rated variants are UL listed for fire door assemblies. One ordering note that catches people out: specify less dogging on the fire rated version, because fire exit hardware cannot be mechanically dogged open.
5) The Falcon 19-R says exit only. Can I add a lever or a pull on the outside later?
Yes. Exit only means it ships less trim, with no outside operating hardware, so from outside the door is secure and there is no way in through the device. The chassis is trim ready and will take any trim function later, so a building that adds a card reader and an electrified lever, or just wants a night latch pull for the cleaning crew, does not have to replace the device, only add the trim.
6) Is a Von Duprin 22 or a Corbin Russwin ED5200 a straight swap for the Falcon 19-R?
No, and this is the substitution that goes wrong most often. The Falcon 19-R is a narrow stile device sized for aluminum storefront. The Von Duprin 22-3FT, the Corbin Russwin ED5200, the BEST Precision 2101 and the TownSteel ED1100 are all 36 inch rim devices too, but all four are wide stile, and a wide stile pushpad chassis will not sit on a narrow stile door. Match the stile first, then the width. Wide stile devices belong on hollow metal and wood doors with a proper lock stile.
7) What are the closest cross-brand equivalents to the Falcon 19-R-EO-3FT rim exit device?
The Falcon 19-R-EO-3FT is an ANSI A156.3 Grade 1 rim exit device for a 36" narrow stile door, exit only and supplied less trim, non-handed. The closest like-for-like devices from other makers are the Corbin Russwin ED4200, a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device at 36" with an exit only, accepts trim function for 1-3/4" doors; the TownSteel ED3700-36, a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device at 36"; the Arrow 4800 Series 48-01-F, a 36" narrow stile rim exit device, exit only, for 1-3/4" doors; the Marks USA M8800, a 36" narrow stile rim device, exit only; and the BEST 2401 Series, a narrow stile rim exit device, exit only and non-handed. All of them, like the Falcon, are metal door devices rather than wood door devices.
8) Can the Falcon 19-R-EO-3FT go on a wood door, and if not, what narrow stile rim device does?
The Falcon 19-R-EO-3FT is a metal door device - its wood door compatibility is listed as no, and it is built for a 1-3/4" narrow stile aluminum door with a 161 prep. For a wood door in a narrow stile opening, Adams Rite is the crossover: the 8700 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device that is wood door compatible, and the 3700 Series is the fire rated Grade 1 narrow stile version, also wood door compatible. Both are 30" devices, so confirm the door width before ordering. The other narrow stile devices in the same class - Corbin Russwin ED4200, TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900, Arrow 4800 - are all listed metal door only, the same as the Falcon.
9) My doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inch - what rim exit device should I use instead of the Falcon 19-R?
The Falcon 19-R-EO-3FT is specified for a 1-3/4" door. When the leaf measures thicker than that, the Adams Rite 8800 Series is the narrow stile answer - a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device covering 1-3/4" to 2-1/4". On a wide stile opening the DORMA 9300 Series covers the same 1-3/4" to 2-1/4" range as a 48" Grade 1 heavy duty exit only device, and the SDC S6136 Spectra covers 1-3/4" to 2" as a 36" electrified rim device with a 4" wide stile. The Securitron EMB electromechanical exit bar is specified at 2-1/4". Measure the leaf at the lock stile before committing, since a rim chassis and its mounting screws are cut for a set thickness.
10) Is the Von Duprin 22 a drop-in replacement for the Falcon 19-R-EO-3FT?
On paper they line up closely: the Von Duprin 22-3FT is a Grade 1, non-handed 36" rim exit device for 1-3/4" doors, and the Falcon 19-R-EO-3FT is Grade 1, non-handed, 36" and 1-3/4" as well. Stile type is what separates them. The Von Duprin 22-3FT is a wide stile pushpad device, while the 19-R-EO-3FT is a narrow stile device sized to cover a 161 prep on an aluminum stile. A wide stile chassis has no stile to sit on in a narrow stile storefront door. Other 36" wide stile devices in the same class are the Corbin Russwin ED5200, Grade 1 exit only or accepts trim for 1-3/4" doors, and the Detex 10 Advantex, a Grade 1 extra heavy duty 36" wide stile device. Match stile type first, then grade and size.
11) What do I have to specify when I order the Falcon 19-R exit device?
Four decisions on the order form. Finish, from 628 aluminum anodized, 630 satin stainless, or SP313 dark bronze anodized. Fire rated or standard. Dogging type, hex, cylinder, or less dogging. And the AX accessible device option, yes or no. Dogging and AX are both required selections, not add-on accessories, so they have to be settled before the order goes in rather than sorted out in the field. Trim is not one of the choices here, this is the exit only device with no outside trim.
12) I need the exit door to release on card access. Will the Falcon 19-R do that?
Not on its own. The 19-R is a mechanical exit only device with no electrified option built in, so an access control release has to come from the electrified trim added to it, or from a different device. If you want the switching in the bar itself, the SDC PSB560 SureExit pressure sense bar and the SDC MSB550 mechanical switch bar are both 36 inch and fit narrow or wide stile. For an electrified rim device on a wide stile door, the SDC S6136 Spectra covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors with a 4 inch stile.
13) Which 36 inch fire rated exit only rim devices cross-reference to the Falcon 19-R?
The Falcon 19-R-EO-3FT is built in fire rated versions in 628 aluminum anodized, 630 satin stainless and SP313 dark bronze anodized. Cross-brand fire rated rim devices in an exit only function include the Marks USA M9900F-36, a fire rated 36" rim exit device with a panic protector end cap; the Orca OED85 Series at 36", fire rated and exit only; and the Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO, a Grade 1 fire rated rim exit device. Among fire rated devices built for a narrow stile door, the Adams Rite 3700 Series is Grade 1 narrow stile and also wood door compatible, at 30". The Arrow FS1250 is fire rated at 32" for 1-3/4" doors if the opening is that width.
14) I need key entry from the outside, not just egress - what rim device does that instead of the Falcon 19-R exit only?
The Falcon 19-R-EO-3FT is an exit only device supplied less trim, so there is no outside operation as it ships; it is built to take a trim function when access control or keyed entry is added later. If the outside key function needs to be part of the device now, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device in a night latch function, which retracts the latch by key from the outside on the same style of narrow stile door. For a wide stile opening, the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device supplied with night latch trim. The Dormakaba E2103 with 4908A trim is a 36" electrified rim device in an 08 classroom function if the outside control is to be electric rather than mechanical.
15) We are putting card access on the door now - which rim exit device should we buy instead of a mechanical exit only?
The Falcon 19-R-EO-3FT is a mechanical exit only device, less trim, designed to accept a trim function when access control is added later - which suits a phased job. Where the electrified function is going in with the device, the SDC S6136 Spectra is an electrified architectural rim exit device at 36" for 1-3/4" to 2" doors, built on a 4" wide stile. The Dormakaba E2103 is a 36" electrified rim exit device supplied with 4908A trim in an 08 classroom function. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4" doors. Two of those are wide stile or thicker door builds, so verify the stile and leaf thickness of the storefront door before switching off a narrow stile device.
16) There is nowhere to mount a rim strike on this frame - what exit device works there?
The Falcon 19-R-EO-3FT latches to an F570 strike mounted on the frame and throws a 3/4" latch into it, so it needs a stop or mullion to strike against. Where the opening cannot take a rim strike, a concealed vertical rod device latches into the head and sill instead: the Hager 4601 Series is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod exit device for narrow stile doors at 36", and the Hager 4501 Series is the wide stile pushpad concealed vertical rod version at 36". Both are prep-intensive compared with a rim device, since the rods run inside the door, so the door has to be built to take them.
17) Same type of device but the door is 48 inches wide - what covers that opening?
The Falcon 19-R-EO-3FT is the 36" size. For a 48" leaf, comparable rim devices in an exit only function include the Cal-Royal A9820, a 48" rim exit device, exit only; the Marks USA M9900F-48, a 48" fire rated rim panic device, exit only, with a panic protector end cap; the DORMA 9300 Series, a 48" wide stile exit only device, Grade 1 heavy duty, for 1-3/4" to 2-1/4" doors; and the Corbin Russwin ED3200, a Grade 1 48" crossbar rim device for 1-3/4" doors. Dexter also builds the ED1000-R-EO in a 4FT size alongside the 3FT. Confirm stile type as well as width - the 48" devices listed here are wide stile builds where a stile type is given.
18) Which exit bars look like a rim exit device but will not latch the door?
Several bars share the shape and are not latching exit devices. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a dummy exit device, Grade 1 wide stile. The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a fire rated wide stile rim device in a dummy function with RX and MELR. The SDC MSB550 is a 36" mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock rather than throwing a latch, and the SDC SureExit PSB560 is a 36" pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology; both are built for narrow or wide stile doors and depend on a separate locking device to secure the opening. The Falcon 19-R-EO-3FT is a mechanical latching device with a 3/4" latch throw into an F570 strike. If the opening has to latch on its own, a dummy bar or a switch bar is not an exchange for it.
19) High traffic entrance on a narrow stile aluminum door - is there a heavier duty device than the Falcon 19-R?
The Falcon 19-R-EO-3FT is a Grade 1 narrow stile device described for light to medium traffic single doors and aluminum storefront systems. Where the door cycles harder, the Detex 40 Advantex is an extra heavy duty Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device, the Stanley QED211 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex key dogging, and the TownSteel ED3700-36 and ED8900-36 are Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile devices at 36". All four stay in narrow stile, so the storefront door prep and stile width do not have to change with the device.
20) Which Falcon 19-R finish should I order to match the storefront doors I already have?
Three to choose from, and they line up with the usual storefront treatments. 628 aluminum anodized matches clear anodized aluminum framing, which is what most standard storefront runs use. SP313 dark bronze anodized matches dark bronze anodized framing. 630 satin stainless is the one to pick when the rest of the door hardware, pulls, closers, hinges, is satin stainless and you want the exit device to read the same. All three are offered in both the standard and the fire rated build, so a mixed building can keep one finish across every opening.
21) Can someone unscrew the Falcon 19-R from the outside of the door?
No exposed fasteners to get at. All machine screw mounting on the 19-R is concealed, so there is nothing on the face of the device to back out with a screwdriver. Combined with the exit only build, which puts no operating hardware on the outside at all, the pull side of the door has nothing to defeat, which is the reason this configuration gets specified on rear and side exits that face an alley or a lot.
22) My exit door is 48 inches wide. Does the Falcon 19-R-EO-3FT cover it?
No, the 19-R-EO-3FT is the 36 inch device, sized for a 3 foot leaf. For a 48 inch opening, the Dexter ED1000 Series 4FT is a Grade 1 rim device in that length, and the Marks USA M9900F 48 inch covers it in a fire rated exit only build. Confirm the stile on your door before picking between them, since a narrow stile aluminum leaf and a wide stile hollow metal leaf take different chassis.
23) Our other doors have crossbar panic hardware - can I match that look or do I have to go pushpad?
The Falcon 19-R-EO-3FT uses a stainless steel pushpad. If a building standard runs on crossbar hardware and the appearance has to stay consistent, the CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48" crossbar rim panic exit device, wide stile, exit only, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48" crossbar rim device, wide stile, for 1-3/4" doors. Both are wide stile builds, so they suit hollow metal and wide stile aluminum leaves rather than a narrow stile storefront door. A narrow stile aluminum door stays with a narrow stile pushpad device such as the 19-R-EO-3FT, the TownSteel ED8900-36, or the Corbin Russwin ED4200.
24) Which rim exit devices are non-handed so one part number covers both left and right hand doors?
The Falcon 19-R-EO-3FT is non-handed, which is why one part number covers left hand, right hand, left hand reverse and right hand reverse openings. Other non-handed rim devices: the BEST 2401 Series, a narrow stile rim exit device, exit only and non-handed; the BEST Precision 5101 Series, a rim exit device with a non-handed universal design; the CRL Jackson 1295 Series, a non-handed push pad rim panic device, exit only, wide stile, for 1-3/4" doors; and the Von Duprin 22-3FT, a 36" non-handed Grade 1 wide stile pushpad device. For a stocking program, the narrow stile and wide stile groups are separate lines even when both are non-handed.
