Falcon 19-V-L-D SP28 3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I put the Falcon 19-V on a fire rated door?
No. The 19-V is not fire rated, so it belongs on non-rated openings only. For a labeled fire door, look at a rated surface vertical rod instead, such as the Adams Rite 3100 Series, the Arrow S1150, or the TownSteel EF9727 in the 9700 Series, all of which we carry as fire rated devices. Putting a non-rated device on a rated opening voids the door label.
2) Do I have to order the Falcon 19-V handed, or is it reversible?
Handing is a required selection on the order, right hand reverse or left hand reverse, but the device itself is field reversible, so it can be reconfigured on site for either hand without extra parts. Exit devices are always reverse bevel by nature, which is why both choices are RHR and LHR.
3) Will the Falcon 19-V cover the 161 prep left by the lockset I am removing?
Yes. The 19-V covers a standard 161 door prep, which is the cylindrical lock prep on most commercial hollow metal doors, so a lever handle retrofit over an existing 161 hole does not require patching or a new door. Falcon publishes both hollow metal and wood door templates for the 19 Series if you need to verify the rest of the hole pattern before you cut.
4) Can a surface vertical rod device like the Falcon 19-V secure a pair of doors with no mullion?
That is exactly what it is for. A surface vertical rod latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into the jamb, so a pair of doors can be secured without a center mullion and both leaves stay active. A rim device on the same pair would need a removable mullion to latch into. On the 19-V the top latch is deadlocking with latch retention and the bottom is a square bolt.
5) What strike comes with the Falcon 19-V and will the top latch engage a standard head strike?
The 3788 strike is supplied as standard and it is surface applied, so it mounts to the face of the frame head rather than needing a mortised pocket. The latch throws 3/4 inch. If your frame already has a mortised strike from a rim or mortise lock, that prep does not carry over, you use the surface 3788.
6) Is the Falcon 19-V ANSI Grade 1 certified for a school or municipal spec?
Certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2001 Grade 1, the top performance tier for exit devices under that standard. That satisfies a spec calling for Grade 1 exit hardware. It is not fire rated, so it will not answer a spec line that also demands a labeled fire exit device.
7) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Falcon 19-V vertical rod exit device for a 36 inch narrow stile door?
The Falcon 19-V is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod device sized 36 inches for narrow stile doors on 1-3/4 inch thick doors. The Von Duprin 3327A-3ft is the nearest match on those points: a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device for 36 inch doors, 1-3/4 inch door thickness, non fire rated, in a grooved case. The Von Duprin 7527-3ft is a second narrow stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod device at 3 ft and 1-3/4 inch door thickness. Corbin Russwin ED4400 covers the same envelope as well, a Grade 1 narrow stile 36 inch surface vertical rod device at 1-3/4 inch thickness, supplied exit only and accepting trim.
8) The Falcon 19-V is not fire rated. What surface vertical rod device should be used on a fire rated opening instead?
The Falcon 19-V carries a fire rating of No, so a labeled opening needs a fire rated device. Adams Rite 3100 Series is a fire rated Grade 1 surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors in a 30 inch size and wide stile. TownSteel EF9727 in the 9700 Series is a fire rated Grade 1 heavy duty surface vertical rod device at 36 by 84 inches, wide stile, and wood door compatible. Arrow S1150 is a fire rated surface vertical rod device at 30 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors, supplied exit only and less trim, and fits narrow or wide stile. Sargent 2727 is a Grade 1 fire rated reversible surface vertical rod device, exit only, wide stile. Note that all of the fire rated options except the Arrow S1150 are wide stile, so a narrow stile fire rated opening needs the S1150 or a change of door.
9) Which vertical rod exit devices are wide stile and therefore not a drop-in for a narrow stile aluminum door?
The Falcon 19-V is built for narrow stile doors. Several surface vertical rod devices that otherwise look similar are wide stile and prep differently: Von Duprin 2227-3FT, a Grade 1 non-handed 36 inch device for 1-3/4 inch doors; Corbin Russwin ED5400, Grade 1 at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors; TownSteel ED8927 at 36 by 84 inches, Grade 1; Adams Rite 8100 Series at 30 inches, Grade 1; Arrow 3700 Series at 30 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors, exit only; and Sargent 3727, Grade 1 exit only with a standard push bar. Confirm the stile width on the door before ordering any of these against a narrow stile opening.
10) Which narrow stile vertical rod devices are approved for wood doors, since the Falcon 19-V hollow metal and wood templates are separate?
Falcon publishes distinct 19 Series template indexes for hollow metal doors and for wood doors, so the door substrate drives the prep. Among narrow stile peers, the TownSteel ED3727 in the 8900 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device at 36 by 84 inches listed as wood door compatible. The Von Duprin 7527-3ft and 7827-3ft, both Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors, are listed as not wood door compatible.
11) What vertical rod exit device looks like the Falcon 19-V but does not actually latch the door?
The Falcon 19-V has a deadlocking top latch and a square bolt at the bottom with a 3/4 inch latch throw, so it latches the opening. The Sargent 12-8710 in the 8700 Series is a Grade 1 fire rated surface vertical rod device in a wide stile design whose function is dummy, meaning it matches the appearance without operating a latch. Order it only for the inactive leaf or for appearance matching, never where the door must latch.
12) What 33 inch or 30 inch surface vertical rod devices exist if the door is narrower than the 36 inch Falcon 19-V covers?
The Falcon 19-V is a 36 inch device. For narrower leaves, Design Hardware 1000V is a 33 inch heavy duty surface vertical rod device and the 2000V is a 33 inch standard duty version, both non fire rated. At 30 inches, Adams Rite 8200 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile life-safety surface vertical rod device, non fire rated, and Adams Rite 8100 Series is the wide stile equivalent. Measure the door width before selecting the device length.
13) Should I order the Falcon 19-V less bottom rod?
Less bottom rod is worth taking where the bottom rod and floor strike are a nuisance: threshold areas that collect grit, carpet or uneven floors, and anywhere a trip hazard or a bent rod is a maintenance call waiting to happen. It is a required choice on the order, yes or no. Keep the bottom rod when you want the two-point latching, since dropping it leaves the door latching at the head only.
14) What dogging options come on the Falcon 19-V and which one do I want?
Three choices, and it is a required selection: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Hex dogging holds the pushpad depressed with an allen key so the door stays push-pull during business hours, and it is the common pick for offices and retail. Cylinder dogging does the same but keys it, so only a keyholder can dog the door down, which suits schools and buildings where staff should not be able to hold a door unlatched. Less dogging is for openings where the device must latch every time.
15) What lever trim options are available on the Falcon 19-V and what is the difference?
Four trim configurations on the 912L family: 912L lever trim for normal outside lever operation, 912L-NL night latch which unlocks with a key only, 912L-DT dummy trim which is a fixed pull with no operation, and 912L-BE blank escutcheon for exit only with nothing to grab from outside. Lever style is Dane, Quantum, or Sutro. Pick night latch for after-hours entry doors, dummy or blank escutcheon where the opening is egress only.
16) What is the narrow stile alternative to the Falcon 19-V from another brand?
Several narrow stile Grade 1 surface vertical rods sit alongside it. The Von Duprin 3327A and the Von Duprin 7527 are both 36 inch narrow stile Grade 1 devices for 1-3/4 inch doors, though neither is listed for wood doors. The Corbin Russwin ED4400 is a 36 inch narrow stile Grade 1 that accepts trim, and the TownSteel ED3727 in the 8900 Series is a 36 inch narrow stile Grade 1 that is wood door compatible. The Adams Rite 8200 Series is a narrow stile life-safety option at 30 inches.
17) My doors have a wide stile. Do I still order the Falcon 19-V or something else?
A narrow stile device mounts fine on a wider stile, but if you are specifying for wide stile aluminum or hollow metal you have wide stile options built for it: the Von Duprin 2227 at 36 inches Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 at 36 inches Grade 1, the BEST Precision 2201 at 36 inches, and the Sargent 3727 Grade 1. The 19-V's advantage is on the narrow aluminum stiles where a wide stile case will not physically land.
18) What is a simpler alternative to the Falcon 19-V if the door does not need lever trim on the outside?
The Falcon 19-V is supplied with lever trim. Where the outside face only needs to be secured with no outside operation, exit only devices cover the same opening. Corbin Russwin ED4400 is a Grade 1 narrow stile 36 inch surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors supplied exit only and able to accept trim later. Arrow 3700 Series is an exit only surface vertical rod bar at 30 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors in wide stile. Orca Hardware OED56 is a 36 inch standard duty exit only vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, supplied less bottom rod, non-handed, in aluminum finish.
19) Are there Grade 2 surface vertical rod exit devices instead of the Grade 1 Falcon 19-V?
The Falcon 19-V is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2001 Grade 1. Two Grade 2 surface vertical rod devices sit alongside it: the Dexter ED2000 Series, a Grade 2 non fire rated surface vertical rod panic device, and the TownSteel TS5100 Series at 36 by 84 inches, Grade 2, heavy duty, wide stile, non fire rated. If the specification on the drawing calls out Grade 1, neither substitutes for the 19-V.
20) What surface vertical rod device can be ordered field reversible like the Falcon 19-V, rather than handed?
The Falcon 19-V is field reversible, so one device covers left hand reverse and right hand reverse openings. BEST Precision 5201 Series is a 36 inch surface vertical rod device described as reversible, non fire rated. Von Duprin 2227-3FT is a non-handed 36 inch Grade 1 device for 1-3/4 inch doors, wide stile. Orca Hardware OED56 is a 36 inch non-handed standard duty device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Sargent 2727 is a reversible Grade 1 fire rated device, exit only, wide stile.
21) How does a crossbar vertical rod device differ from the Falcon 19-V pushpad when standardizing a building?
The Falcon 19-V uses a stainless steel push pad on a narrow stile chassis. The Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors that uses a crossbar instead of a pushpad and accepts operator trim. Both cover the same narrow stile opening, so the choice comes down to matching the actuator style already on the other doors in the building.
22) Is the BEST Precision 2201 a substitute for the Falcon 19-V on a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
The BEST Precision 2201 is a 36 inch wide stile surface vertical rod device in the 2200 Series, non fire rated. The Falcon 19-V is a narrow stile device, so the 2201 matches on device length but is built for a wide stile door face. For a narrow stile aluminum door, the narrow stile peers such as the Von Duprin 3327A-3ft or the Corbin Russwin ED4400, both Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors, line up with the 19-V prep envelope instead.
23) What is the AX accessible device option on the Falcon 19-V?
AX is a required yes or no choice on the order. Specify it where the opening has to meet accessible operating force requirements for the jurisdiction you are building in. If the door is on an accessible route in a school, healthcare, or government facility, that is the box to tick at order time rather than a change you make later in the field.
24) Can the Falcon 19-V be tampered with from the outside, and what do the fasteners look like once installed?
All mounting screws on the 19-V are concealed, so there are no exposed fastener heads to attack from the pushpad side and the installed device reads clean. The pushpad itself is stainless steel with a scratch-resistant surface, which matters on a door that gets hit hundreds of times a day in a school or a retail entrance.
25) What finishes does the Falcon 19-V come in for matching the other doors in my building?
Three finishes across the range: US28 aluminum anodized, SP313 dark bronze anodized, and US32D satin stainless steel. All three are available with any of the Dane, Quantum, or Sutro levers and any of the four 912L trim configurations, so a property manager standardizing a building can match aluminum storefront, bronze storefront, or stainless without changing lever style between openings.
26) Which Grade 1 surface vertical rod devices besides the Falcon 19-V come from Dexter for a mixed-brand building?
The Falcon 19-V is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod device. Dexter offers two Grade 1 surface vertical rod lines: the ED1000 Series and the ED1500 Series, the latter non fire rated. Both hold the same Grade 1 certification level as the 19-V, so they meet a Grade 1 call-out on the drawing.
