Falcon 1993NL/HB 44IN P28 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon 1993NL/HB fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
That is exactly what the 1990 Series is built for. The 1993NL/HB is a narrow stile concealed vertical rod device with an aluminum cross bar and a narrow stile center case sized to the small stiles found on aluminum storefront doors. Door thickness is 1-3/4 inches, the standard for commercial aluminum entrances, and the device projects 4-3/8 inches off the door face, which matters if you have a vestibule or a door that swings near a wall.
2) What does the NL/HB night latch hold back function actually do on a storefront door?
Key access from the outside with a hold open. Turning the key in the rim cylinder retracts the latch so you can pull the door open, and the hold back feature keeps the latch retracted so the door stays in a push-pull state during business hours. Free egress from the inside is never affected. The 9970 pull is the exterior grip. There is also standard hex dogging, so a manager can hold the crossbar depressed mechanically instead of using the key.
3) What bottom latch options can I specify on the Falcon 1990 Series concealed vertical rod device?
Four choices at order. Leaving it at default gives the standard configuration. RL is a rod bottom latch, PL is a Pullman bottom latch, and ES is a top latch intended for use with electric strikes. If the opening has a bad threshold condition or debris problems, the Pullman bottom latch is the usual answer; if you are tying access control into the frame at the head, ES is the option that pairs with the strike.
4) Do I need a mullion between a pair of storefront doors with this exit device?
No. A concealed vertical rod device latches into the head and the threshold rather than into a strike on the jamb, so it secures each leaf independently and a pair can run with no center mullion, keeping the full clear opening. If you would rather use a mullion and a rim device, that is a different product type; the vertical rod route is what you take when the open width matters.
5) I need a concealed vertical rod exit device for a fire rated opening - can the Falcon 1993NL/HB be used?
No. The Falcon 1993NL/HB is UL305 listed for panic hardware on non-fire-rated openings and includes hex dogging, which is not permitted on fire doors. For a fire rated opening, look at the Adams Rite 3600 Series or the 3900 Series, both Grade 1 fire rated concealed vertical rod devices, with the 3900 carrying a 1-1/2 hour rating. Both are wide stile, so they suit hollow metal rather than narrow stile aluminum storefront. The Sargent 12-MD8613 is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device in a classroom function if you need keyed outside trim on a rated door.
6) What is the closest narrow stile concealed vertical rod equivalent to the Falcon 1993NL/HB from another manufacturer?
For a narrow stile aluminum storefront door at 1-3/4 inch thickness, the Von Duprin 3347A is the nearest peer - it is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, same as the Falcon 1993NL/HB. The Corbin Russwin ED4800 is another Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors. The difference to check is function: the Falcon 1993NL/HB is supplied as a night latch/hold back configuration with rim cylinder and 9970 pull, while the ED4800 is catalogued as exit only that accepts trim, so the outside trim and cylinder are specified separately.
7) Is the Falcon 1993NL/HB handed, or do I need to order left hand and right hand separately?
One part number covers both. The 1993NL/HB is field reversible, so the same device handles a left hand or right hand reverse bevel opening with no extra hardware and no separate SKU. Set the handing during installation.
8) Is the Falcon 1993NL/HB Grade 1, and what standard is it certified to?
Grade 1, certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2001, and listed to UL305 as panic hardware. That is the heavy duty commercial tier, which is what specifiers and institutional procurement usually require for a main entrance in a school, healthcare, or government building.
9) What are the other narrow stile concealed vertical rod options if the Falcon 1990 Series will not work for me?
Several Grade 1 narrow stile alternatives. The Von Duprin 3347A is a grooved case narrow stile device rated for 1-3/4 inch doors, and there is an exit only less bottom rod version if you want to drop the bottom latch entirely. The Von Duprin 5547 and 7547 are narrow stile crossbar devices, also 1-3/4 inch. Corbin Russwin ED4800 and the ED7800 crossbar are narrow stile and accept trim. Adams Rite 8600 Series and the DORMA 9600BB pushpad are narrow stile as well, the DORMA covering 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors.
10) Does the Falcon 1993NL/HB come with the cylinder and the exterior pull, or do I order those separately?
The device is furnished with the 9970 pull and a rim cylinder for the night latch function, so the exterior side is covered. What you supply is the door and frame prep: concealed vertical rod installation requires routing and drilling per the Falcon templates, and the rods must be set to the door height. Keying the rim cylinder into your building system is a separate step.
11) Is a push pad concealed vertical rod device an alternative to the Falcon 1993NL/HB on an aluminum storefront door?
It can be, if you are not matching an existing crossbar look. The Falcon 1993NL/HB uses an aluminum cross bar with a narrow stile center case. For a push pad style on narrow stile aluminum, the DORMA 9600BB Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile pushpad concealed vertical rod device, non-fire-rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Adams Rite 8600 Series is another Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device made for aluminum doors, non-fire-rated. Note the 9600BB part number cited is a 36 inch device against the Falcon's 44 inch length.
12) I do not need keyed entry from outside - is there a simpler concealed vertical rod device than the Falcon 1993NL/HB?
Yes. The 1993NL/HB pairing includes a rim cylinder and the 9970 pull for night latch/hold back operation from the exterior. If the opening only needs egress with no outside access, an exit only device is simpler: the Von Duprin 3347A-EO is a Grade 1 narrow stile exit only concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, supplied less bottom rod, and the BEST Precision 2601 Series is a non-handed narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit only device. The CRL Jackson 1285 push pad concealed vertical rod exit is also an exit only device and fits narrow, medium or wide stile.
13) How does the Falcon 1993NL/HB compare to the Von Duprin 5547 and 7547 narrow stile devices?
All three are Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod devices rated for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Von Duprin 5547 is a crossbar device in the 55 Series and the 7547 is the 75 Series, both non-fire-rated; the 7547 is listed as not wood door compatible. The Falcon 1993NL/HB is a 1990 Series crossbar device with an aluminum cross bar, field reversible, with a 4-3/8 inch projection, and is supplied in the night latch/hold back function with the 9970 pull, where the Von Duprin part numbers cited here are 36 inch devices against the Falcon's 44 inch size.
14) Which concealed vertical rod exit devices look like the Falcon 1993NL/HB but will not fit a narrow stile aluminum door?
Several Grade 1 concealed vertical rod devices are wide stile and will not land on a narrow stile aluminum storefront door: the Adams Rite 3600 and 3900 Series, the Adams Rite 8500 Series, the Corbin Russwin ED5800, the DORMA 9100 Series, and the Sargent 12-MD8613. The BEST Precision 2701 is a wide stile reversible device intended for wood doors and the 2801 is also wide stile. The Falcon 1993NL/HB is narrow stile with a center case sized for small stile aluminum, so confirm stile width on the door before cross shopping any of these.
15) I want a keyed outside trim function rather than a night latch pull - what concealed vertical rod options exist?
The Falcon 1993NL/HB is furnished with the 9970 pull and a rim cylinder for night latch/hold back operation, where the key retracts and holds back the latch. If you want a lever trim with a classroom function instead, the Sargent 12-MD8613 is a Grade 1 fire rated wide stile concealed vertical rod device in classroom function, and the Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM is a Grade 1 heavy duty 80 Series concealed vertical rod device supplied with lever trim and hex dogging for a 36 by 84 metal door. Both are metal door devices, so they are not a swap onto narrow stile aluminum.
16) My storefront door is 48 inches wide - is the Falcon 1993NL/HB the right choice?
The Falcon 1993NL/HB covered here is the 44 inch device size, and device length has to be matched to the door width, so a 48 inch leaf calls for a device sized to it. Among comparable concealed vertical rod devices, the CRL Jackson 1085 Series is offered as a 48 inch non-handed concealed vertical rod panic exit device, though it is an exit only wide stile device rather than a narrow stile night latch configuration. If you need the Falcon narrow stile crossbar in a different length, the 1990 Series is built in more than one size.
17) What finishes does the Falcon 1993NL/HB come in to match my existing storefront hardware?
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 typically match anodized aluminum storefront framing, which is what most retail and office entrances already use.
