Falcon 19-V-EO SP28 3 RHR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon 19-V-EO fit a 36 inch narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
That is exactly the opening the 19-V-EO is built for. It is a narrow stile surface vertical rod device sized for a 36 inch door, and it fits 1-3/4 inch thick doors. Projection off the face of the door is 2-1/2 inches, so check your clearance to any adjacent wall, mullion, or pull on a vestibule pair. If your door is wide stile aluminum or hollow metal, a wide stile device like the Von Duprin 2227-3FT or Corbin Russwin ED5400 is the correct family instead.
2) Can I use the Falcon 19-V-EO on a fire rated door?
No. The 19-V-EO is not fire rated, so it cannot go on a labeled fire door assembly. For a fire rated surface vertical rod, ZenSupply carries the Adams Rite 3100 Series in a 30 inch size, the Arrow S1150 (30 inch, narrow or wide stile), and the TownSteel 9700 Series EF9727 at 36 x 84 inches. Fire rated devices also come without dogging, since a fire door has to latch every time.
3) What do I have to specify when ordering a Falcon 19 Series vertical rod exit device?
Four choices settle the order on the 19-V-EO: finish (628 aluminum anodized, SP313 dark bronze anodized, or 630 satin stainless), handing (LHR or RHR), dogging (hex key dogging or less dogging), and less bottom rod (yes or no). There is also an AX accessible device option. It ships less trim, so if the opening needs outside pull or lever trim that is a separate line item.
4) Does the Falcon 19-V-EO exit device allow entry from the outside?
Not as ordered. Exit only means push pad out, no operating trim in, and it ships less trim. The device is ready to accept any trim function, so adding lever or pull trim later converts the opening to keyed or free entry without swapping the device. If you want a device that comes ready to take operator trim from another brand, the Corbin Russwin ED4400 is the narrow stile equivalent listed as exit only, accepts trim.
5) Will the Falcon 19-V-EO cover the holes from the device I am taking off?
It covers a 161 door prep, which is the standard cylindrical lock prep, so on a retrofit it hides that existing bore rather than leaving you patching the door. Mounting screws are concealed, so the finished face has no exposed fasteners to pick at. The 3788 strike is surface applied as standard, which means the top strike mounts to the frame face instead of requiring the frame to be cut.
6) Will a vertical rod device work on a pair of doors with no center mullion?
That is the reason to choose vertical rod over rim. A surface vertical rod latches into the head and, with the bottom rod, into the threshold, so each leaf secures itself and the pair needs no removable mullion between them. A rim device latches into a strike on the mullion or the adjacent leaf, so it needs something to latch into. The 19-V-EO throws 3/4 inch at the latch. If you go less bottom rod, the leaf holds at the top only.
7) Is the Falcon 19-V-EO ANSI Grade 1 for a school or hospital spec?
It is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2001, Grade 1, the top durability grade for exit devices, and it is a commercial device. That satisfies a Grade 1 line on a drawing. What it does not satisfy is a fire rating requirement, so on cross-corridor or stair doors carrying a label you need a rated device instead.
8) Can I put the Falcon 19-V-EO on a 1-3/8 inch door?
No. The 19-V-EO is a single thickness device for 1-3/4 inch doors, which is the standard commercial thickness. A 1-3/8 inch leaf, typical of older interior doors, is outside what this device is built for.
9) What is the closest narrow stile surface vertical rod equivalent to the Falcon 19-V-EO for a 36 inch door?
The Falcon 19-V-EO is a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device for 36 inch doors with a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The closest peers on the same door are the Von Duprin 3327A-3ft, a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device for 36 inch doors with a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and the Corbin Russwin ED4400, a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device at 36 inches with the same 1-3/4 inch thickness. The TownSteel ED3727 in 36 x 84 is also Grade 1 narrow stile and is wood door compatible, which the Von Duprin 7527-3ft narrow stile Grade 1 device is not.
10) The Falcon 19-V-EO is not fire rated - what surface vertical rod device works on a fire rated opening instead?
The Falcon 19-V-EO carries no fire rating, so on a labeled opening it is the wrong device. Fire rated surface vertical rod alternatives include the Arrow S1150 in 30 inch, an exit only device for 1-3/4 inch doors that suits narrow or wide stile; the Adams Rite 3100 Series 30 inch, a Grade 1 wide stile device for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Sargent 2727, a Grade 1 reversible wide stile exit only device; and the TownSteel EF9727 in 36 x 84, a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile device that is wood door compatible. On a narrow stile aluminum door the Arrow S1150 is the one of those that covers narrow stile.
11) Which surface vertical rod devices look like the Falcon 19-V-EO but are not a substitute for it?
Two to watch. The Sargent 12-8710 reads as a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device but its function is dummy, so it does not latch or release like the exit only 19-V-EO. And several devices in the same shape are wide stile - the Adams Rite 8100 Series and the Arrow 3700 Series exit bar among them - which will not land correctly on the narrow stile door the 19-V-EO is built for. The narrow stile Adams Rite 8200 Series is the one in that Adams Rite pair that matches the 19-V-EO stile type.
12) My door is wood - which Grade 1 surface vertical rod devices are rated for wood doors?
Among Grade 1 surface vertical rod peers, the TownSteel ED3727 in 36 x 84 is narrow stile and wood door compatible, the TownSteel ED8927 in 36 x 84 is wide stile and wood door compatible, and the fire rated TownSteel EF9727 in 36 x 84 is heavy duty wide stile and wood door compatible. The Von Duprin 7527-3ft narrow stile and 7827-3ft, both Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors, are not wood door compatible. Falcon publishes separate wood door and hollow metal door templates for the 19 Series, so confirm the prep against the wood door template index.
13) Do I have to order the Falcon 19-V-EO left hand or right hand?
Handing is picked on the order (LHR or RHR), but the device itself is field reversible, so a crew that gets the wrong one on site can turn it around rather than send it back. Order to the door you have and keep the reversibility as your safety net.
14) Should I order less bottom rod on a vertical rod exit device?
Less bottom rod is worth taking where the floor is the problem: no bottom rod means nothing to trip over, nothing to catch a mop or a cart, and no bottom strike sunk in the threshold. It is common on retail and school openings with heavy floor traffic. Keep the bottom rod when you want the door pinned top and bottom for security. The 19-V-EO is offered both ways, so it is a choice you make on the order, not a different model.
15) Can the Falcon 19-V-EO be dogged down so the door stays push-open during business hours?
Yes, if you order it with hex key dogging. Dogging holds the push pad depressed and retracts the latches so the door pushes free during open hours, then a turn of the hex key relocks it at close. The alternative build is less dogging, which is what you want where the door must latch on every cycle. Since the 19-V-EO is not fire rated, dogging is on the table here.
16) What finishes does the Falcon 19-V-EO come in, and will it match my existing storefront doors?
Three finishes: 628 aluminum anodized, SP313 dark bronze anodized, and 630 satin stainless. 628 matches clear anodized aluminum storefront, SP313 matches dark bronze anodized storefront, and 630 is the satin stainless that pairs with stainless pulls and hollow metal packages. All three are offered in both LHR and RHR. The push pad is stainless steel, which holds up to scratching where the same spot gets hit all day.
17) Is the Falcon 19-V-EO heavy duty enough for a busy building entrance?
Falcon rates the 19 Series for light to medium duty commercial use, at Grade 1. It suits office, retail, multi-family and school openings that see steady but not punishing traffic. For a main entrance cycling constantly, look at a heavy duty device instead: ZenSupply carries the Design Hardware 1000V in 33 inch as a heavy duty surface vertical rod, and the TownSteel 9700 Series EF9727 heavy duty Grade 1 at 36 x 84 inches.
18) What is a lighter duty or Grade 2 alternative to the Falcon 19-V-EO surface vertical rod device?
The Falcon 19-V-EO is ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2001 Grade 1. Where a facility does not require Grade 1, the Dexter ED2000 Series is a Grade 2 surface vertical rod panic device and the TownSteel TS5100 in 36 x 84 is a Grade 2 heavy duty wide stile surface vertical rod device. The Design Hardware 2000V in 33 inch is a standard duty surface vertical rod device, with the 1000V in 33 inch as the heavy duty version of the same family. None of these carry a fire rating.
19) I need a non-handed surface vertical rod device so I can stock one part for both door swings - what are my options?
The Falcon 19-V-EO is field reversible, so a single device covers either swing. If you prefer a peer with the same stocking advantage, the Von Duprin 2227-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile device described as non-handed for 36 inch doors, the BEST Precision 5201 in 36 inch is a reversible surface vertical rod device, the Sargent 2727 is a reversible Grade 1 fire rated device, and the Orca OED56 in 36 inch is a non-handed standard duty vertical rod device supplied less bottom rod.
20) The Falcon 19-V-EO is a push pad device - what if the specification calls for a crossbar?
The Falcon 19-V-EO uses a stainless steel push pad. Where the drawing calls for a crossbar on a narrow stile door, the Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar surface vertical rod device for 36 inch doors at 1-3/4 inch thickness that accepts operator trim. The Sargent 3727 is a Grade 1 wide stile exit only device with a standard push bar if the opening is wide stile.
21) If I want a device that accepts lever or pull trim rather than exit only, what changes from the Falcon 19-V-EO?
The Falcon 19-V-EO ships less trim as an exit only device and is ready to accept any trim function, so trim is ordered alongside it. Peers catalogued with trim capability in their function include the Corbin Russwin ED4400, a Grade 1 narrow stile 36 inch device listed as exit only, accepts trim, and the Corbin Russwin ED7400, a Grade 1 narrow stile 36 inch crossbar device listed as exit only, accepts operator trim. Both are for 1-3/4 inch doors, matching the 19-V-EO.
22) I need hex key dogging on a 36 inch surface vertical rod device - which peer comes that way?
The Falcon 19-V-EO can be configured with hex key dogging or less dogging. Among peers, the Von Duprin 7827-3ft is a 3 ft Grade 1 surface vertical rod device specified with hex key dogging for 1-3/4 inch doors. Dogging is not available on fire rated devices, so if the opening is labeled and you were considering the fire rated Arrow S1150 or Adams Rite 3100 Series, plan on a device without a dogging feature.
23) I am standardizing a building on one surface vertical rod device across both narrow and wide stile doors - what are my choices?
The Falcon 19-V-EO is a narrow stile device, so a mixed building takes either two part numbers or one device that spans both. The Arrow S1150 in 30 inch is listed for narrow or wide stile on 1-3/4 inch doors and is fire rated exit only. If you standardize by brand instead, Corbin Russwin pairs the ED4400 narrow stile with the ED5400 wide stile, both Grade 1 exit only accepts trim for 1-3/4 inch doors, and TownSteel pairs the ED3727 narrow stile with the ED8927 wide stile, both Grade 1 in 36 x 84.
24) I want to run less bottom rod to keep the floor clear - which devices support that?
The Falcon 19-V-EO can be ordered less bottom rod. Among peers, the Orca OED56 in 36 inch is a standard duty vertical rod device supplied less bottom rod in an aluminum finish and non-handed. The Falcon comes in 628 aluminum anodized, SP313 dark bronze anodized, and 630 satin stainless, in LHR and RHR.
25) What does the AX option on a Falcon 19 Series exit device do?
AX is the accessible device build, ordered as a yes or no on the 19-V-EO. It is the option to take when the opening has to meet accessibility requirements for operating force and hardware operation. Specify it up front, since it is a device-level build rather than an accessory you add later.
26) Where do I get the door prep template for a Falcon 19 Series exit device?
Falcon publishes separate template sets for hollow metal and for wood doors, and both are on the 19 Series product record along with the Falcon exit devices catalog. Pull the set that matches your door material before you drill, because the prep differs between them. The device covers a 161 prep, so on a retrofit off a cylindrical lock much of the hole work may already be done.
27) Which Dexter surface vertical rod device lines up with the Falcon 19-V-EO?
The Falcon 19-V-EO is Grade 1. On the Dexter side, the ED1000 Series surface vertical rod device is Grade 1, as is the ED1500 Series, which is not fire rated. The Dexter ED2000 Series is a Grade 2 surface vertical rod panic device, so it sits below the 19-V-EO on grade.
