Falcon 1992NL-OP/HB-OP 44IN P28 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon 1992NL-OP/HB-OP fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
That is exactly what the 1990 Series concealed vertical rod device is built for. It is a narrow stile device with an aluminum cross bar and narrow stile center case sized for small stile aluminum storefront doors, and it fits 1-3/4 inch thick doors. Projection off the door face is 4-3/8 inches, so check your clearance where the door swings past adjacent glass or a wall.
2) Does the Falcon 1992 exit device need to be ordered handed?
No. The 1992NL-OP/HB-OP is field reversible, so one device covers left hand or right hand openings and you set the handing during installation. That makes it easier to stock a single part number across a building with doors swinging both ways.
3) What does the NL-OP/HB-OP function actually do on the Falcon 1992?
Two cylinder-controlled behaviors. Night latch (NL) retracts the latch momentarily with the key without unlocking the device, so the door relocks behind you. Hold back (HB) retracts the latch and holds it back, which is how you leave a storefront on free access during business hours. The OP means optional pull. From the inside it is exit only, no outside lever operation.
4) Does the Falcon 1992 come with outside trim or a cylinder?
It ships less trim, so outside trim is not included. The night latch and hold back functions are cylinder operated, so you need to supply the rim cylinder that drives them. If you want an outside pull, that is ordered separately as well.
5) If the door is a wide stile hollow metal or wood door instead of aluminum storefront, what concealed vertical rod device should be used instead of the Falcon 1992NL-OP/HB-OP?
The Falcon 1992NL-OP/HB-OP is built for narrow stile aluminum doors, so a wide stile opening needs a wide stile device. Options include the Adams Rite 8500 Series concealed vertical rod device for hollow metal doors, Grade 1 and non fire rated; the Corbin Russwin ED5800, a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors; and the BEST Precision 2701 Series, a wide stile reversible concealed vertical rod device for wood doors.
6) What bottom latch options are there on the Falcon 1990 Series concealed rod device?
Three optional latch choices sit alongside the default build: RL rod bottom latch, PL pullman bottom latch, and ES, a top latch intended for use with electric strikes. The pullman is the usual pick where a floor-level rod strike is a trip or debris problem; the ES option is what you specify if the opening is being electrified at the head.
7) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Falcon 1992 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device?
Von Duprin's narrow stile crossbar devices are the nearest match in style and duty: the 5547 and the 7547 are both Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod units for 1-3/4 inch doors, non fire rated. The Von Duprin 3347A-EO is the exit only, less bottom rod narrow stile option. Adams Rite 8600 Series is another Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device for aluminum doors.
8) Can I hold the Falcon 1992 device dogged down during business hours?
Yes. The device has hex dogging, so a hex key holds the push bar depressed and the latches retracted for free push-pull traffic. The hold back cylinder function does the same thing from the key side. Note that dogging is a non-fire-rated feature; this is a UL305 panic device, not fire exit hardware.
9) Why choose a concealed vertical rod device over a rim device on a storefront pair?
A concealed vertical rod latches at the head and the threshold with the rods hidden inside the door stile, so a pair of doors can be secured without a center mullion and nothing hangs on the face of the door to catch carts or get vandalized. The tradeoff is prep: the stile has to be routed for the rods and the frame prepped for the top strike, which is why the 1990 Series ships with templates. A rim device is far simpler to install but needs a mullion on a pair.
10) What other narrow stile crossbar concealed vertical rod devices compare to the Falcon 1990 Series?
On the crossbar side of narrow stile concealed vertical rod hardware, the Corbin Russwin ED7800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts operator trim, and the Von Duprin 5547 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar concealed vertical rod device listed at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors, non fire rated. The Von Duprin 7547 is a further Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar option, listed as not wood door compatible. The Falcon 1992NL-OP/HB-OP is field reversible and shipped less trim with night latch/hold back cylinder function.
11) What narrow stile concealed vertical rod device uses a push pad instead of the Falcon 1992NL-OP/HB-OP crossbar?
The Falcon 1992NL-OP/HB-OP uses an aluminum cross bar with a narrow stile center case. If a push pad actuator is preferred on a narrow stile door, the DORMA 9600BB Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile push pad concealed vertical rod device, non fire rated, listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors in a 36 inch size. The CRL Jackson 1285 is also a push pad concealed vertical rod exit only device listed for narrow, medium or wide stile doors.
12) Is the Adams Rite 8600 a substitute for the Falcon 1992NL-OP/HB-OP on an aluminum storefront door?
The Adams Rite 8600 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit device for aluminum doors and is non fire rated, which matches the Falcon 1992NL-OP/HB-OP on stile type and Grade 1 certification for storefront use. The difference to confirm is function and length: the Falcon is a 44 inch device with night latch/hold back cylinder function and optional pull, furnished less trim, with a 4-3/8 inch projection.
13) What finishes does the Falcon 1992NL-OP/HB-OP 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 ones that typically match existing anodized storefront framing, so match the device to the frame rather than to the other door hardware.
