Falcon F-19-V-EO SP313 3 RHR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon 19-V-EO vertical rod exit device fit a narrow stile aluminum door?
Yes, the 19-V-EO is a narrow stile device with a narrow stile pushpad, so it suits aluminum storefront and other narrow stile openings. It is a single door thickness device: 1-3/4 inches only. Case projection off the door face is 2-1/2 inches, which matters if the door swings into a tight vestibule or against a wall. If your doors are wide stile, a wide stile case gives you more pushpad, and the Von Duprin 2227-3FT or Sargent 3727 are 36 inch wide stile surface vertical rod devices.
2) Is the Falcon 19-V-EO exit device fire rated, and can I use it on a fire door?
Fire rated, yes. The 19-V-EO is offered with optional B label (1-1/2 hour) fire exit construction for fire rated door assemblies. One consequence worth knowing before you order: a fire exit device cannot be dogged down. If you pick the hex key dogging option you have a panic device, not a fire exit device. On a labeled opening, order less dogging.
3) Do I have to specify handing for the Falcon 19 Series exit device?
You pick LHR or RHR when ordering, but the device itself is field reversible and non-handed in construction, so it can be configured on site for either hand without extra parts. Useful if you are stocking spares for a building with doors swinging both ways.
4) What does Exit Only mean on the Falcon 19-V-EO, and can I add a lever on the outside?
Exit only means push to get out, and nothing on the outside face. It ships less trim, so there is no outside lever, pull, or cylinder in the box and no provision to add operator trim on this model. If you need key access or a lever from the outside, you want a trim-accepting narrow stile device instead, such as the Corbin Russwin ED4400.
5) Does the Falcon 19-V-EO come with a strike, and what strike does it use?
The 3788 strike is the surface applied standard for this device. With a 3/4 inch latch throw at the top latch, it needs that surface strike at the head rather than dropping into an existing mortised frame strike, so plan on frame face fastening at the head.
6) Can I retrofit the Falcon 19 Series onto a door that already has an exit device?
The 19-V-EO covers a standard 161 door prep, so on a door already prepped for a cylindrical lock or a prior device using that prep, you avoid cutting new holes in the door face. Falcon publishes both hollow metal and wood door template indexes for the 19 Series, and those are what you should mark from before drilling.
7) Should I order the Falcon 19-V-EO less bottom rod?
Less bottom rod (LBR) is a required choice at order time. Choosing Yes removes the bottom rod and bottom latch, which keeps the threshold clear, stops the rod being kicked or catching a floor mat, and cuts adjustment callbacks. The tradeoff is that the door then latches only at the head. Standard construction latches top and bottom, with a deadlocking top latch with latch retention and a square bolt at the bottom. On a labeled fire opening, LBR generally requires an auxiliary fire pin, so confirm the assembly listing for your opening before specifying it.
8) Will a surface vertical rod device like the Falcon 19-V-EO work on a pair of doors with no center mullion?
Yes, and that is the main reason to choose a surface vertical rod over a rim device. It latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into a center strike, so a pair of doors can be secured without a removable mullion and both leaves stay free swinging. Order one device per leaf. If you have a single door in a frame, a rim device is simpler and has less to adjust.
9) What are the alternatives to the Falcon 19-V-EO if I need a fire rated 36 inch surface vertical rod exit device?
Among fire rated surface vertical rod devices, the Arrow S1150 is listed for narrow or wide stile and is exit only less trim, so it is the closest drop-in alternative if your stile width is uncertain. The TownSteel EF9727 is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty device but wide stile, and the Adams Rite 3100 Series is fire rated Grade 1 wide stile in a 30 inch length. Most of the other narrow stile options, including the Corbin Russwin ED4400 and Von Duprin 3327A, are not fire rated, so they cannot go on a labeled opening.
10) Which vertical rod exit devices are fire rated if the Falcon 19-V-EO does not suit the opening?
Three peers carry a fire rating. The Arrow S1150 (AR-FS1150-30) is exit only for 1-3/4 inch doors in narrow or wide stile. The Adams Rite 3100 Series 30 inch device (ADA-3100-30) is Grade 1 wide stile for 1-3/4 inch doors. The TownSteel 9700 Series EF9727 (TWS-E9F727-3684) is a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile device sized 36 by 84 inches and listed as wood door compatible. The Sargent 2727 (SGT-2727) is Grade 1 fire rated, reversible, wide stile, exit only. Narrow stile aluminum storefront points to the Arrow; a wide stile hollow metal or wood leaf points to the TownSteel or Sargent.
11) Can I put a wide stile exit device such as the Von Duprin 2227 on the same door as the Falcon 19-V-EO?
Not interchangeably. The Falcon 19-V-EO is a narrow stile device, built for the slim vertical rail of an aluminum storefront leaf. The Von Duprin 2227-3FT (VON-2227-3FT) is a wide stile Grade 1 device for 36 inch doors at 1-3/4 inch thickness, as are the Corbin Russwin ED5400 (COR-ED5400), the Sargent 3727 (SGT-3727) and the Adams Rite 8100 Series (ADA-8100-30). Wide stile chassis and mounting footprints are sized for a hollow metal or wood leaf with a broad lock stile, so confirm the stile width you are actually working with before swapping between the two families.
12) Is the Sargent 12-8710 a substitute for the Falcon 19-V-EO exit device?
No. The Sargent 12-8710 (SGT-12-8710) is a dummy function device in the 8700 Series, wide stile, so it has no working latch and is used on the inactive leaf or for appearance matching. The Falcon 19-V-EO is an exit only device with a deadlocking top latch and a 3/4 inch latch throw that actually secures and releases the opening. Specify the Sargent only where a non-latching push pad is intended.
13) I need a vertical rod device that accepts lever or pull trim from the outside instead of exit only. What are the options?
The Falcon 19-V-EO ships less trim and functions as exit only, with no outside operating trim. Corbin Russwin offers Grade 1 devices for 1-3/4 inch doors that accept trim: the ED4400 (COR-ED4400) in narrow stile 36 inch, the ED5400 (COR-ED5400) in wide stile, and the ED7400 (COR-ED7400), a narrow stile 36 inch crossbar device that accepts operator trim. None of the three is fire rated, so on a rated assembly the trim option changes which door you can put it on.
14) What Grade 1 vertical rod exit device works on a wood door if the Falcon 19-V-EO is not the right fit?
TownSteel lists wood door compatibility on three Grade 1 devices: the EF9727 (TWS-E9F727-3684), fire rated heavy duty wide stile at 36 by 84 inches, the ED3727 (TWS-ED3727-3684), narrow stile 36 by 84 inches and not fire rated, and the ED8927 (TWS-ED8927-3684), wide stile 36 by 84 inches and not fire rated. By contrast the Von Duprin 7527-3ft (VON-7527-3ft) and 7827-3ft (VON-7827-3ft) are both listed as not wood door compatible. Falcon publishes separate 19 Series templates for hollow metal doors and for wood doors, so confirm the door substrate against the correct template before ordering.
15) What is the AX option on the Falcon 19 Series exit device?
AX is the accessible device option, a required selection when ordering the 19-V-EO. It is the choice to make where the opening has to meet accessible operating force requirements, common on paths of egress in schools, healthcare, and public buildings. If your spec does not call for it, order without.
16) What finishes does the Falcon 19-V-EO come in, and will it match my existing storefront hardware?
Three finishes: 628 aluminum anodized, SP313 dark bronze anodized, and 630 satin stainless. 628 and SP313 are the two that match typical clear and dark bronze anodized aluminum storefront, and each is available in both LHR and RHR. The pushpad is stainless steel, which holds up on scratch-prone high traffic entries.
17) Is the Falcon 19-V-EO Grade 1, and does it meet ANSI/BHMA for a commercial exit?
Certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2001 Grade 1, which is the highest durability grade in the exit device standard and what most commercial and institutional specs call for. It is a commercial device, not residential. Mounting screws are all concealed, which helps on public corridors where exposed fasteners get picked at.
18) Is the Adams Rite 8200 the narrow stile equivalent of the Falcon 19-V-EO?
Only on stile width. The Adams Rite 8200 Series (ADA-8200-30) is a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod life-safety device in a 30 inch size and is not fire rated, while the Falcon 19-V-EO is fire rated and sized 36 inches. On a non-rated storefront opening the Adams Rite covers the same narrow stile geometry; on a rated opening or a 36 inch leaf it does not stand in.
19) Which vertical rod exit devices are non-handed or reversible so I can stock one part for both door swings?
The Falcon 19-V-EO is field reversible, configured left hand or right hand without extra hardware. Among the peers, the BEST Precision 5201 (PRE-5201-36) is a reversible 36 inch surface vertical rod device, the Sargent 2727 (SGT-2727) is reversible and Grade 1 fire rated, the Von Duprin 2227-3FT (VON-2227-3FT) is non-handed for 36 inch doors, and the Orca OED56 (ORC-OED5636) is non-handed in an aluminum finish. For a property manager standardizing across a building, any of these reduces the swing-specific part count.
20) Which vertical rod exit devices come with hex key dogging like the Falcon 19-V-EO option?
The Falcon 19-V-EO can be ordered with hex key dogging or less dogging. Among the peers, the Von Duprin 7827-3ft (VON-7827-3ft) is a Grade 1 3 ft surface vertical rod device supplied with hex key dogging, for 1-3/4 inch doors and not fire rated. Keep in mind that dogging is generally omitted on fire rated assemblies, which is why the Falcon offers a less dogging build alongside the hex key version.
21) What is a shorter vertical rod exit device if the opening is narrower than 36 inches?
Several peers come in shorter device lengths. The Adams Rite 3100 Series (ADA-3100-30) is a 30 inch fire rated Grade 1 device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Arrow S1150 (AR-FS1150-30) is a 30 inch fire rated exit only device. Non-rated 30 inch options include the Adams Rite 8100 (ADA-8100-30) and 8200 (ADA-8200-30) and the Arrow 3700 Series exit bar (AR-37-01-E). The Design Hardware 1000V (DH-1000V-33) and 2000V (DH-2000V-33) are 33 inch devices. The Falcon 19-V-EO is a 36 inch device, so match the device length to the leaf width on the drawing.
22) Can I standardize my building on the Falcon 19 Series across both single doors and pairs?
Partly. The 19-V-EO is the surface vertical rod configuration, which is what you want on pairs without a mullion and on doors needing top and bottom latching. Single doors in a frame are usually better served by a rim device from the same 19 Series, which keeps the same pushpad look, finish, and hex key dogging across the building while cutting the rods you have to adjust. Finish matching is straightforward since 628, SP313, and 630 are offered here.
