Falcon F19V-EO 4 689 RHR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can a narrow stile aluminum storefront door take the Falcon 19-V-EO exit device?
Yes, that's what it's built for. The 19-V-EO is a narrow stile device, so the case and pushpad fit doors with limited stile width where a wide stile device would overhang the glass. Projection off the door face is 2-1/2 inches, which is what you need for pull-side clearance in a vestibule or tight corridor. If your doors are wide stile aluminum or hollow metal, a wide stile device like the Von Duprin 2227 or the Sargent 3727 is the better match.
2) Is the Falcon 19-V-EO exit device handed, or can I set it in the field?
Field reversible. The 19-V-EO is non-handed out of the box and you configure it for left hand or right hand on site, no extra parts. It is stocked in both LH and RH selections across all three finishes (satin stainless, aluminum anodized, dark bronze anodized), so pick the hand you need on the order and you're covered either way.
3) Can I use the Falcon 19-V-EO on a fire rated door?
Yes, with the fire exit build. The 19-V-EO is offered in fire rated construction carrying a "B" label for 1-1/2 hour openings. One thing that follows from that: a fire exit device has no mechanical dogging, so if you specify the fire rated version you must order Less Dogging. Hex or cylinder dogging belongs on non-rated openings only.
4) 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 (US32D satin stainless, US28 aluminum anodized, or SP313 dark bronze anodized), handing (LH or RH), dogging (hex, cylinder, or less dogging), and whether you want Less Bottom Rod. There's also an AX accessible device option. It ships less trim as an exit only device, so any outside pull or lever trim is a separate line item.
5) Will the Falcon 19-V-EO latch into my existing strike?
The device has a 3/4 inch latch throw and comes with the 3788 strike, which is surface applied as standard. Because the strike mounts on the surface of the head frame rather than into a mortised pocket, you generally do not need to re-prep the frame. If you have an existing mortised vertical rod strike, plan on the supplied 3788 rather than reusing what's there.
6) Does the Falcon 19 Series retrofit an existing door with a 161 prep?
Yes. The 19-V-EO covers a 161 door prep, so on a door already bored for a cylindrical lock you can mount the device over that prep without patching or replacing the leaf. That's the usual case when you're converting a classroom or stairwell door from a knob or lever to panic hardware. Falcon publishes separate template indexes for hollow metal and wood doors for the 19 Series, so pull the one matching your door construction before you mark holes.
7) What is the closest fire-rated alternative to the Falcon 19-V-EO surface vertical rod device?
The Falcon 19-V-EO is a Grade 1 fire-rated surface vertical rod device with a narrow stile pushpad. The closest fire-rated match by construction is the Arrow S1150, a fire-rated surface vertical rod exit device, exit only, less trim, which is built for narrow or wide stile applications. If the opening is wide stile, the Adams Rite 3100 Series is Grade 1, fire rated, wide stile, and rated for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the TownSteel EF9727 in the 9700 Series is a heavy duty Grade 1 fire-rated wide stile device that is wood door compatible. All three carry the fire rating the 19-V-EO carries, so all three suit a labeled opening.
8) Which narrow stile vertical rod exit devices work on a door that is not fire rated?
The Falcon 19-V-EO is fire rated, so it covers labeled openings as well as unlabeled ones. On an opening with no label, narrow stile options include the Von Duprin 3327A with its grooved case, the Von Duprin 7527 in the 75 Series, the Corbin Russwin ED4400 in the ED4000 Series, the Adams Rite 8200 Series life-safety device, and the TownSteel ED3727 in the 8900 Series, which is wood door compatible. All of these are non-fire-rated, so none of them belong on a labeled opening. The Von Duprin 3327A, 7527, and Corbin Russwin ED4400 are all Grade 1 and rated for 1-3/4 inch doors, the same door thickness the 19-V-EO takes.
9) The door has a wide stile - what takes the place of a Falcon 19-V-EO there?
The Falcon 19-V-EO is a narrow stile device, so a wide stile aluminum or hollow metal door calls for a wide stile chassis instead. Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod devices include the Von Duprin 2227 in the 22 Series, non-handed and rated for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 in the ED5000 Series, the Sargent 2727 in the 20 Series and the Sargent 3727 in the 30 Series, both exit only, and the TownSteel ED8927 in the 8900 Series. If the opening is labeled, the Sargent 2727 is fire rated and the TownSteel EF9727 is a heavy duty fire-rated wide stile device.
10) What looks like a substitute for a Falcon 19-V-EO but will not actually work on a fire door?
The Falcon 19-V-EO is fire rated. Several devices that read as direct equivalents on the shelf are not: the Von Duprin 7527 and 7827, the Corbin Russwin ED4400, ED5400 and ED7400, the Adams Rite 8100 and 8200 life-safety devices, the Arrow 3700 Series exit bar, the BEST Precision 2201 and 5201, the Design Hardware 1000V and 2000V, and the Orca OED56 are all listed as not fire rated. Several are Grade 1 and otherwise close in duty, which is exactly why they get swapped in by mistake. On a labeled opening the substitute has to carry the fire rating, not just the grade.
11) Which vertical rod exit device should I standardize on across a mixed facility?
For a portfolio with both labeled and unlabeled openings, the Falcon 19-V-EO is Grade 1 to ANSI A156.3-2001, fire rated, and field reversible, so a single narrow stile part number covers both hands and both opening types. If the facility also has wide stile doors, the fire-rated Sargent 2727 in the 20 Series and the heavy duty TownSteel EF9727 hold the same Grade 1 and fire rating in a wide stile chassis, which keeps the standard consistent across the two door types. The Arrow S1150 is fire rated and built for narrow or wide stile, so it can span both without a second series.
12) What is the difference between the Falcon 19-V-EO and the Sargent 12-8710?
The Falcon 19-V-EO is an exit only device, meaning the push pad retracts the latches and the door secures from the outside until trim is added. The Sargent 12-8710 in the 8700 Series is a Grade 1 fire-rated wide stile surface vertical rod device with a dummy function, so it does not latch or retract - it is a matched push surface for the inactive leaf of a pair. On a pair of doors, the active leaf takes an operating device such as the 19-V-EO and the inactive leaf takes the dummy.
13) What size door does the 48 inch Falcon 19-V-EO exit device suit?
The 48 inch (4 ft) device is sized for wide leaves, typically openings around 48 inches. The pushpad should run most of the door width so egress works no matter where someone hits it, so match the device length to the leaf rather than mounting a 4 ft device on a 36 inch door. Most of the comparable surface vertical rod devices, like the Von Duprin 2227 and the Corbin Russwin ED4400, are 36 inch units for standard 3 ft leaves.
14) Should I order the Falcon 19-V-EO with less bottom rod?
Order LBR when the bottom rod and floor strike are a problem, which is most retail and healthcare traffic: carts and gurneys hit the bottom latch, the floor strike collects dirt, and the rod is the part that gets bent. Less bottom rod deletes the bottom latch so the device secures at the head only, and it makes housekeeping easier. Keep the bottom rod where you want two point latching for security or where the fire rated assembly requires it. The Orca OED56 is another surface vertical rod device sold with less bottom rod if you want a non fire rated option built that way.
15) Surface vertical rod or rim device with a mullion for a pair of doors?
A surface vertical rod device like the Falcon 19-V-EO latches at the head and, unless you order less bottom rod, at the threshold, so it secures a pair of doors with no center mullion in the opening. That keeps the full clear width for carts, gurneys, and furniture moves. Rim devices need a removable mullion between the leaves, which is cheaper hardware but gives up clear opening and one more part to store and reinstall. Choose vertical rod when clear width matters, rim plus mullion when it doesn't.
16) Can I add a lever or pull to the Falcon 19-V-EO later, or do I have to order it now?
The 19-V-EO ships as exit only with no trim, and it will accept any trim function later. Exit only means free egress from the inside with no outside operation at all, so if you need to get back in through that door you'll want trim on the order. Buying it now versus later doesn't change the device, but the door stays outside-locked until the trim arrives.
17) Which dogging option should I pick on a Falcon 19 Series exit device?
Hex dogging holds the pushpad depressed with an allen key, cheap and fine where only staff touch it. Cylinder dogging does the same but takes a mortise cylinder keyed into your system, which is what you want on a school or retail entrance where you don't want a loose hex key deciding whether the door is latched. Less dogging is the choice on any fire rated opening, since a fire exit device cannot be held in the retracted position.
18) Is there a Grade 2 vertical rod exit device instead of the Grade 1 Falcon 19-V-EO?
The Falcon 19-V-EO is certified to ANSI A156.3-2001 Grade 1. Where the specification allows Grade 2, the Dexter ED2000 Series is a Grade 2 surface vertical rod panic device and the TownSteel TS5100 Series is a heavy duty Grade 2 surface vertical rod device with a wide stile chassis. Neither is fire rated, so a labeled opening still needs a fire-rated device such as the 19-V-EO or the Arrow S1150.
19) The Falcon 19-V-EO comes less trim - which comparable vertical rod devices accept lever or pull trim?
The Falcon 19-V-EO ships less trim in an exit only function and will accept a trim function later. Among comparable surface vertical rod devices, the Corbin Russwin ED4400 in the ED4000 Series and the ED5400 in the ED5000 Series are both listed as exit only and accepting trim, and the ED7400 in the ED7000 Series is a narrow stile crossbar device that accepts operator trim. The Arrow S1150 and the Arrow 3700 Series are exit only, as is the Orca OED56 and the Sargent 2727 and 3727.
20) Which vertical rod exit devices besides the Falcon 19-V-EO can be set for either hand in the field?
The Falcon 19-V-EO is field reversible, so one device covers a right hand or a left hand door without extra parts. Comparable devices with the same flexibility include the Sargent 2727, described as a reversible surface vertical rod device, the BEST Precision 5201 in the 5200 Series, described as reversible, the Von Duprin 2227 for 36 inch doors, described as non-handed, and the Orca OED56, described as non-handed with less bottom rod.
21) Which surface vertical rod exit devices are rated for wood doors?
Among comparable surface vertical rod devices, the TownSteel EF9727, ED3727 and ED8927 are all listed as wood door compatible, with the EF9727 additionally being fire rated. The Von Duprin 7527 and 7827 are listed as not wood door compatible. The Falcon 19-V-EO is supported by separate template sets for hollow metal doors and for wood doors, so verify the prep against the correct template before ordering.
22) How do the Dexter ED1000, ED1500 and ED2000 vertical rod devices compare for an opening spec'd for a Falcon 19-V-EO?
The Falcon 19-V-EO is Grade 1 and fire rated. In the Dexter line, the ED1000 Series and the ED1500 Series are both Grade 1 surface vertical rod devices, with the ED1500 listed as not fire rated, and the ED2000 Series is a Grade 2 surface vertical rod panic device that is also not fire rated. For an opening that has to hold a fire label, stay with a fire-rated device such as the 19-V-EO, the Arrow S1150, or the Adams Rite 3100 Series.
23) Will the Falcon 19-V-EO look right on doors that already have satin stainless or dark bronze hardware?
Three finishes cover most fleets: US32D satin stainless steel, US28 aluminum anodized, and SP313 dark bronze anodized. US32D is the common commercial match for existing stainless pulls and closers, US28 matches clear anodized aluminum storefront, and SP313 matches dark bronze storefront. The pushpad is stainless steel and the mounting screws are all concealed, so the face stays clean and there are no exposed fasteners to pick at in a public corridor.
