Falcon 1990EO 44IN P13 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Falcon 1990EO exit device work on a 2-1/4 inch thick door?
No. The 1990EO is a single-thickness device rated for 1-3/4 inch doors only, which is the standard commercial thickness. If your leaf is thicker, look at a device with a stated range instead, such as the DORMA 9600BB narrow stile concealed vertical rod, which covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches.
2) Do I have to order a left hand or right hand Falcon 1990EO?
Neither. Handing isn't a factor on the 1990EO, it ships non-handed and is field reversible, so one part number covers both leaves of a pair. For a property manager stocking spares across a building, that means a single 44 inch device on the shelf covers any opening of that size regardless of swing.
3) Can you put an outside lever or pull on the Falcon 1990EO?
Not with this configuration. The 1990EO is an exit only device, so it latches and releases from the inside with no outside trim function, and it ships less trim. Anyone on the outside gets in through a separate means, typically a key cylinder dogging arrangement, an electric strike, or the other leaf. If you need a lever or thumbpiece that retracts the latches from the pull side, you need a device built to accept operator trim, like the Corbin Russwin ED4800 or ED7800 narrow stile concealed vertical rod devices.
4) Will a concealed vertical rod device secure a pair of doors without a mullion?
Yes, and that's the main reason to choose one. A concealed vertical rod device latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into a strike on the jamb, so a pair of 1990EO devices secures both leaves with a clear opening between them, no removable mullion to store and reinstall. The rods run inside the door stile, so nothing is exposed on the face. The trade off is door prep: the leaf has to be routed for concealed rods, which is why this is specified on aluminum storefront where the stile is already extruded for it. If the door can't be prepped, a rim device with a mullion is the simpler path.
5) Can the Falcon 1990EO be ordered without a bottom rod, or with a different bottom latch?
Bottom latching is a selectable option on the 1990EO. The choices are a rod bottom latch (RL), a Pullman bottom latch (PL), or a top latch built for use with electric strikes (ES). The Pullman style is what people usually reach for when the bottom rod and floor strike are collecting debris or getting kicked, and the ES top latch is the one to pick if the opening is being controlled by an electric strike at the head. If you specifically want a device that omits the bottom rod outright, the Von Duprin 3347A-EO is a narrow stile exit only concealed vertical rod device offered less bottom rod.
6) I need a fire rated concealed vertical rod exit device for a labeled opening. What are my options against the Falcon 1990EO?
The Falcon 1990EO carries ANSI A156.3-2001 Grade 1 certification. For a labeled opening, the Adams Rite 3900 Series is a fire rated Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a 1-1/2 hour rating, the Adams Rite 3600 Series is a fire rated Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device for hollow metal doors, and the Sargent 12-MD8613 is a fire rated Grade 1 device in classroom function. All three are wide stile devices, so a narrow stile aluminum leaf changes the conversation. Among the narrow stile Grade 1 peers, the Von Duprin 3347A-3ft, Von Duprin 5547-3ft, and Von Duprin 7547-3ft are all listed as non fire rated, as is the Dormakaba 9600BB narrow stile pushpad device.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Falcon 1990EO for a narrow stile aluminum storefront door if Falcon is not available?
The Falcon 1990EO is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod exit device built for narrow stile doors in exit only function at 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The nearest peers with the same narrow stile and Grade 1 combination are the Von Duprin 3347A-EO, which is a narrow stile Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device in EO function at 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and the Corbin Russwin ED4800, a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device at 1-3/4 inch thickness with exit only function that also accepts trim. The Von Duprin 3347A-EO is supplied less bottom rod, so confirm the bottom of the opening before matching it to a two-rod prep.
8) The 1990EO is exit only. What concealed vertical rod device should I use when the opening needs outside trim or a keyed function?
Exit only means there is no outside operation, so a device that accepts trim is a different order. The Corbin Russwin ED4800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device listed as exit only and accepts trim at 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and the Corbin Russwin ED7800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar concealed vertical rod device listed as exit only and accepts operator trim at the same thickness. For a classroom function specifically, the Sargent 12-MD8613 is a Grade 1 fire rated concealed vertical rod device in classroom function, though it is a wide stile device and will not fit a narrow stile aluminum door.
9) My door is a hollow metal or wood door, not aluminum storefront. Is the Falcon 1990EO still the right concealed vertical rod device?
The 1990EO is a narrow stile device engineered for small stile aluminum doors, so a hollow metal or wood leaf calls for a wide stile device. For hollow metal, the Adams Rite 8500 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device for hollow metal doors, and the Adams Rite 3600 Series is the fire rated Grade 1 wide stile equivalent for hollow metal. For wood doors, the BEST Precision 2701 Series is a wide stile reversible concealed vertical rod device for wood doors. Note that the Von Duprin 7547 is a narrow stile Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device listed as not wood door compatible, so it is not the swap for a wood leaf.
10) My doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inches. Which concealed vertical rod exit device fits?
The Falcon 1990EO is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors. If the leaves run thicker, the Dormakaba 9100 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile push pad concealed vertical rod device with a 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range and a heavy duty rating, and the Dormakaba 9600BB covers the same 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch range in a narrow stile push pad device for openings where the stile is still narrow. Measure the actual leaf before ordering, since the Von Duprin 3347A-EO, 3347A-3ft, 5547-3ft, 7547-3ft, Corbin Russwin ED4800 and ED7800 are all listed at 1-3/4 inch.
11) What concealed vertical rod exit devices look like a substitute for the Falcon 1990EO but will not work on a narrow stile aluminum door?
Several Grade 1 concealed vertical rod devices are wide stile and will not fit the narrow stile aluminum leaf the 1990EO is built for. Those include the Adams Rite 8500 Series and 3600 Series for hollow metal doors, the Adams Rite 3900 Series, the Corbin Russwin ED5800 Grade 1 wide stile device at 1-3/4 inch door thickness, the Dormakaba 9100 Series wide stile push pad device, the Sargent 12-MD8613 wide stile classroom device, the BEST Precision 2801 Series wide stile device, the BEST Precision 2701 wide stile wood door device, and the CRL Jackson 1085 Series wide stile panic exit. Matching the grade alone is not enough; the stile type is what decides whether the case fits the door.
12) Is there a crossbar alternative to the Falcon 1990EO for narrow stile aluminum doors?
Several, if you want to cross-shop the same configuration. The Adams Rite 8600 Series is a narrow stile concealed vertical rod device for aluminum doors, Grade 1. The Von Duprin 7547 is a 75 Series narrow stile Grade 1 concealed vertical rod for 1-3/4 inch doors, listed as not wood door compatible. The BEST Precision 2601 Series is a narrow stile, non-handed, exit only concealed vertical rod device, the closest match to the 1990EO's exit only, field reversible configuration. Where the 1990EO differs from most of them is the aluminum crossbar rather than a push pad.
13) Can you hold the Falcon 1990EO latches retracted during business hours?
Yes. Hex dogging is standard on the 1990EO, so you can dog the crossbar down with a hex key and leave the door push-pull open through the day, then undog it at closing. The concealed mounting screws and the hex dogging together are what keep the device from being backed off or dogged by anyone who wanders up with a screwdriver. Note that dogging is a non-fire-rated function by nature, so it belongs on a non-rated opening.
14) What is the 44 inch measurement on the Falcon 1990EO, and what door width does it suit?
44 inches is the device length, meaning the crossbar assembly spans that much of the door face. Exit device length has to suit the leaf width, so a 44 inch device goes on a wider leaf than a 36 inch one. For comparison, the narrow stile concealed vertical rod devices we carry at 36 inches include the Von Duprin 3347A-3ft and the Von Duprin 5547-3ft, both Grade 1, 1-3/4 inch door. Measure your existing leaf before you order, since a device sized for the wrong width won't sit correctly on the stile.
15) What finishes does the Falcon 1990EO come in to match my storefront?
Four finishes on the 1990EO: P28 satin aluminum clear anodized, P13 dark bronze anodized aluminum, P35 flat black coated, and 626 satin chrome. P28 and P13 are the two that typically match existing anodized aluminum storefront framing, clear and dark bronze respectively, which is what most retail and office fronts are already running. P35 flat black is the choice on newer black-framed glass fronts.
16) What's the difference between the Falcon 1990EO and a wide stile concealed vertical rod device?
Case size and the door it mounts to. The 1990EO has a narrow stile center case for the slim extruded stiles on aluminum storefront leaves. Wide stile devices, like the Corbin Russwin ED5800, the DORMA 9100, or the Adams Rite 8500 Series, have a larger case that needs the broader stile you get on hollow metal and wood doors. Neither substitutes for the other: a wide stile case won't sit on a narrow aluminum stile, and a narrow stile device on a wide leaf leaves the case undersized for the opening. Match the device to the door, then the length to the leaf width.
17) Can I retrofit the Falcon 1990EO onto existing aluminum storefront doors?
Retrofit onto existing aluminum door systems is the intended application for the 1990EO, and the exit only, field reversible build helps, one part covers either leaf. What decides it is the door prep. The leaf has to be routed and drilled per the Falcon templates for concealed rod mounting, and the stile has to be a narrow stile at 1-3/4 inches thick. If the existing device was a surface vertical rod or a rim device, the door was likely never prepped for concealed rods and you're looking at more than a swap.
18) Can the Falcon 1990EO be used with an electric strike for access control?
Yes, and there's a dedicated option for it. Choosing the ES top latch configures the device for use with electric strikes, which is the setup when you want card or fob release at the head while keeping free egress from the inside. Since the 1990EO is exit only with no outside trim, an electric strike is the usual way to get controlled entry on this opening.
19) The Falcon 1990EO has a crossbar. What is the equivalent concealed vertical rod device with a push pad instead?
The 1990EO uses an aluminum cross bar with a narrow stile center case. If the specification or the existing fleet calls for a push pad on a narrow stile door, the Dormakaba 9600BB is a Grade 1 narrow stile push pad concealed vertical rod device, non fire rated, in 36 inch, with a 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range and heavy duty rating. The BEST Precision 2601 Series is a narrow stile non-handed concealed vertical rod device in exit only function. The CRL Jackson 1285 is a push pad concealed vertical rod panic exit in exit only function listed for narrow, medium or wide stile. Among crossbar peers, the Von Duprin 5547-3ft and Corbin Russwin ED7800 are both narrow stile Grade 1 crossbar concealed vertical rod devices.
20) I need a non-handed concealed vertical rod exit device so I can stock one part for both leaves. Which ones are reversible besides the Falcon 1990EO?
The Falcon 1990EO is field reversible, so a single part covers either hand of a pair. Among the peers, the BEST Precision 2601 Series is a narrow stile non-handed concealed vertical rod device in exit only function, the CRL Jackson 1085 Series is a 48 inch non-handed concealed vertical rod panic exit device in exit only function on a wide stile, and the BEST Precision 2701 Series is a wide stile reversible concealed vertical rod device for wood doors. For a facility standardizing across aluminum storefront pairs, the narrow stile non-handed options are the 1990EO and the Precision 2601.
21) Is the Adams Rite 8600 a direct swap for the Falcon 1990EO on an aluminum storefront door?
They land in the same place on paper: the Adams Rite 8600 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit device for aluminum doors, non fire rated, matching the 1990EO on grade and stile type. What differs is function and rod configuration. The 1990EO is exit only, less trim, at 1-3/4 inch door thickness with a 4-3/8 inch projection. Confirm the function, the projection clearance to any adjacent wall or return, and the bottom rod arrangement against the existing prep before treating the 8600 as a drop-in for an already routed leaf.
22) I am standardizing exit devices across a facility with both aluminum storefront and hollow metal openings. Can one series cover both?
No single narrow stile device covers both, but a couple of families run across the two door types. The CRL Jackson 1285 push pad concealed vertical rod panic exit is listed for narrow, medium or wide stile in exit only function, which is the widest stile coverage in the group. Otherwise the standard splits by door type: the Falcon 1990EO Grade 1 narrow stile exit only device on the aluminum storefront leaves, and a Grade 1 wide stile device such as the Adams Rite 8500 Series for hollow metal or the Corbin Russwin ED5800 at 1-3/4 inch door thickness on the metal openings. Staying within one brand across both, Corbin Russwin pairs the ED4800 narrow stile with the ED5800 wide stile, both Grade 1 exit only that accept trim.
23) Which concealed vertical rod exit devices are rated heavy duty for a high traffic entrance?
The Falcon 1990EO is certified to ANSI A156.3-2001 Grade 1 for commercial use. Among the peers, the ones explicitly carrying a heavy duty rating are the Dormakaba 9100 Series, a Grade 1 wide stile push pad device covering 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Dormakaba 9600BB, the Grade 1 narrow stile push pad version over the same thickness range, and the Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM, a Grade 1 device with hex dogging for metal doors at 36 by 84 inches. For a high traffic narrow stile aluminum entrance, the 1990EO and the Dormakaba 9600BB are the two that stay on the narrow stile side.
