Falcon 1991DT 42IN US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon 1991DT fit my aluminum storefront door?
The Falcon 1991DT is built for narrow stile aluminum storefront doors at 1-3/4 inch thickness, and the device itself is sized for a 42 inch door. The crossbar and center case are aluminum, matched to storefront construction. If your door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches or is a wide stile hollow metal or wood door, this is the wrong device.
2) Does the 1991DT lock the door from outside, or is the trim just a pull?
Dummy trim only. The 9970 pull gives you something to grab on the exterior, but it does not retract the latches and there is no cylinder, no keyed function. Anyone coming in from outside needs the door pulled open by someone inside or the device dogged down. If you need keyed entry from the exterior, specify a keyed lever or keyed pull function instead of the DT dummy trim.
3) Can I use this with an electric strike, or skip the bottom latch?
Both are order options on the 1991DT. Choose ES for a top latch intended for use with electric strikes, or RL for a rod bottom latch and PL for a Pullman bottom latch depending on the threshold condition. Leave it at default if you want the standard latching arrangement. Pullman bottom latches are the usual pick where dirt or water at the sill fouls a bottom rod.
4) What else could I use instead of the Falcon 1991DT on a narrow stile aluminum door?
Several Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod alternatives: the Von Duprin 5547 crossbar device and the Von Duprin 3347A, both listed at 1-3/4 inch door thickness, the Von Duprin 7547 in the 75 Series, the Adams Rite 8600 Series for aluminum doors, the Corbin Russwin ED7800 crossbar device, and the Dormakaba 9600BB if you prefer a pushpad over a crossbar. Note the Von Duprin 3347A-EO and the Corbin Russwin ED4800 are exit only variants, so they do not include the dummy pull the 1991DT ships with.
5) What is the equivalent of the Falcon 1991DT if my door is a wide stile hollow metal or wood door?
The Falcon 1991DT is a narrow stile device built for aluminum storefront construction, so a wide stile opening needs a different chassis. Adams Rite offers the 8500 Series, a Grade 1 non-fire-rated wide stile concealed vertical rod device for hollow metal doors. Corbin Russwin's ED5800 is a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim. For wood doors, the BEST Precision 2701 Series is a wide stile reversible concealed vertical rod device.
6) What is the closest crossbar concealed vertical rod alternative to the Falcon 1991DT for a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
The Von Duprin 5547 is the nearest crossbar match: a 55 Series narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit device, Grade 1, for 1-3/4 inch doors, offered in a 36 inch size. The Falcon 1991DT is also Grade 1 narrow stile for 1-3/4 inch doors with an aluminum cross bar, in a 42 inch size. Von Duprin also offers the 7547 in the 75 Series, narrow stile, Grade 1, 1-3/4 inch, 36 inch, which is not wood door compatible. The main difference to confirm is device length against your door width.
7) The Falcon 1991DT has dummy trim - what should I order if the outside needs to unlock with a key or lever?
The 1991DT is a dummy function, non-keyed device with a 9970 pull for exterior access, so the outside trim never retracts the latch. For an opening that needs operating trim, the Corbin Russwin ED4800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim, and the ED7800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts operator trim. Both keep the narrow stile aluminum door format.
8) Do I have to order a left hand or right hand version of this Falcon exit device?
No handing to specify. The 1990 Series device is non-handed and field reversible, so one part number covers both leaves of a pair and you set the hand during install. That also makes it a safer stock item for a property manager keeping spares on the shelf.
9) How much does this exit device stick out into the opening?
Projection is 4-3/8 inches off the door face. That matters on tight vestibules, back-to-back storefront pairs, and anywhere a door swings past a wall return or adjacent hardware. Measure your clear swing before committing.
10) What is the difference between a concealed vertical rod device and a rim device on a storefront pair?
A concealed vertical rod device like the 1991DT latches at the head and the sill with the rods hidden inside the door stile, so a pair of doors secures without a center mullion and nothing shows on the face of the door. A rim device latches into a strike on the frame or on a removable mullion, which is simpler to install and service but leaves visible hardware and, on a pair, usually needs that mullion. On aluminum storefront where appearance and a clear opening matter, concealed vertical rod is the usual answer.
11) Can maintenance hold these storefront doors unlocked during business hours?
Yes. Hex dogging comes standard on the 1991DT, so a hex key retracts and holds the latches for free push-pull traffic, then releases at close. Mounting screws are concealed, which keeps the device from being tampered with or knocked out of adjustment in a public retail entrance. Dogging is only appropriate on non-fire-rated openings.
12) Is the Falcon 1991DT suitable for a high traffic school or hospital entrance?
It is a commercial-duty device certified Grade 1 to ANSI A156.3-2001, the top durability tier in that standard, which is what specifiers call for on school, healthcare, government and multi-tenant entrances. Just remember the dummy trim means no exterior keyed access, so pair it with a separate access control or an adjacent keyed leaf where staff need to get in.
13) Is a push pad concealed vertical rod device a substitute for the Falcon 1991DT crossbar?
They serve the same egress function but present very differently on the door. The Falcon 1991DT uses an aluminum cross bar with a 4-3/8 inch projection. The DORMA 9600BB is a narrow stile pushpad concealed vertical rod device, Grade 1, heavy duty, non-fire-rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors in a 36 inch size, and the CRL Jackson 1285 is a push pad concealed vertical rod panic exit for narrow, medium or wide stile. If you are matching other doors in a building already running crossbars, the 1991DT keeps the appearance consistent.
14) If the exterior side of my storefront door needs nothing at all, is there a simpler option than the Falcon 1991DT?
Yes. The 1991DT ships with dummy trim and a 9970 pull for the exterior. If the outside face needs no hardware, the BEST Precision 2601 Series is an exit only narrow stile non-handed concealed vertical rod device, and the Von Duprin 3347A-EO is an exit only narrow stile Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, supplied less bottom rod. Both eliminate the exterior pull entirely.
15) My door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches - what concealed vertical rod device should I look at instead of the Falcon 1991DT?
The Falcon 1991DT is specified for 1-3/4 inch door thickness. For thicker doors, the DORMA 9100 Series covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch as a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile pushpad concealed vertical rod device, and the DORMA 9600BB covers the same 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch range in a narrow stile pushpad configuration. Both are non-fire-rated.
16) How does the Von Duprin 3347A compare to the Falcon 1991DT for a retrofit storefront job?
Both are narrow stile Grade 1 concealed vertical rod devices for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Von Duprin 3347A-3ft is a grooved case design in a 36 inch length within the 33/35 Series and is non-fire-rated. The Falcon 1991DT is a 1990 Series device in a 42 inch length with an aluminum cross bar, field reversible handing, and dummy trim with the 9970 pull. Choose by device length against the door width and by whether you want exterior pull trim included.
17) What finishes does the Falcon 1991DT come in?
Four: P13 dark bronze anodized aluminum, P28 satin aluminum clear anodized, P35 flat black coated, and 626 satin chrome. P28 and P13 are the two that normally match existing anodized storefront framing, so match the frame first and the rest of the hardware second.
