Falcon 1993NL/HB 51IN US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the NL/HB night latch hold back function do on a Falcon 1990 exit device?
Outside, a key in the rim cylinder retracts the latch, and it can also hold the latch back so the door stays in a push/pull condition for business hours. Turn the key the other way and the latch drops back in. The exterior trim is the 9970 pull, which is a pull only, not a lever or a knob, so there is no outside latch operation without the key. The kit ships with the rim cylinder and the 9970 pull.
2) What bottom latch options are there on the Falcon 1993NL/HB, and which one do I want?
Three choices beyond the default: RL rod bottom latch, PL Pullman bottom latch, and ES top latch for use with electric strikes. A Pullman bottom latch is the common pick on aluminum storefront where you do not want a rod bolt dropping into a threshold strike. The ES option is what you specify if an electric strike is going in at the head for access control.
3) What is the closest narrow stile concealed vertical rod alternative to the Falcon 1993NL/HB for an aluminum storefront door?
For a 1-3/4 inch narrow stile aluminum door, the closest peers are the Von Duprin 3347A and 5547, both Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod devices listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED4800, a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device also listed at 1-3/4 inch. The Falcon 1993NL/HB is Grade 1 to ANSI A156.3-2001 with a 4-3/8 inch projection and ships with a rim cylinder and 9970 pull for night latch/hold back operation, while the Von Duprin and Corbin Russwin devices are catalogued at the device level with trim specified separately. The Von Duprin 5547 and the Corbin Russwin ED7800 are crossbar devices like the Falcon; the 3347A uses a grooved case design.
4) I do not need keyed entry from outside - what is a simpler option than the Falcon 1993NL/HB?
If the opening only needs egress, an exit-only device removes the cylinder and pull entirely. The Von Duprin 3347A-EO is a Grade 1 narrow stile exit only device for 1-3/4 inch doors, supplied less bottom rod, and the BEST Precision 2601 is an exit only narrow stile concealed vertical rod device that is non-handed. The Falcon 1993NL/HB instead includes a rim cylinder and 9970 pull so a key can retract the latch and hold it back for daytime use, so choose it only where outside key access matters.
5) My door is a wide stile hollow metal or wood door, not aluminum storefront - what should I use instead of the Falcon 1993NL/HB?
The Falcon 1993NL/HB has a narrow stile center case sized for small stile aluminum doors, so a wide stile opening needs a different chassis. Wide stile concealed vertical rod options include the Adams Rite 8500 Series and Adams Rite 3600 Series for hollow metal doors, the Corbin Russwin ED5800 Grade 1 wide stile device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the DORMA 9100 Series Grade 1 wide stile pushpad device for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the BEST Precision 2701 wide stile reversible device for wood doors.
6) Do I have to order the Falcon 1993NL/HB handed?
No. It is non-handed and field reversible, so one device covers left or right hand swing and you can change handing on site without extra parts. That matters on a storefront pair where the two leaves swing opposite.
7) Is the Falcon 1993NL/HB fire rated, and what grade is it?
Grade 1 to ANSI A156.3-2001, and the device is UL305 listed as panic hardware. UL305 is the panic exit hardware listing, which is the standard egress requirement on storefront doors.
8) Can I dog the Falcon 1993NL/HB open during business hours?
Yes. Hex dogging is standard, so you can hold the cross bar depressed and leave the door in push/pull for the day. The mounting screws are concealed, which keeps the device from being backed off the door by anyone with a driver.
9) Should I use a concealed vertical rod device or a rim device on my aluminum entrance?
Concealed vertical rod, like the Falcon 1993NL/HB, latches at the head and the sill and hides the rods inside the door stile, so a pair of doors can be secured with no center mullion and nothing is exposed to vandalism. The trade off is door prep: the leaf has to be routed and the rods aligned at install. A rim device is simpler to mount but needs a strike at the head or a removable mullion between a pair. If the doors are already prepped for concealed rods, stay with concealed rods.
10) What are the alternatives to the Falcon 1993NL/HB if I need a narrow stile concealed vertical rod from another brand?
Several narrow stile Grade 1 concealed vertical rod devices for 1-3/4 inch doors: the Corbin Russwin ED4800, the Corbin Russwin ED7800 crossbar version, the Von Duprin 5547 and 7547, and the Adams Rite 8600 Series for aluminum doors. The Corbin ED4800 and ED7800 are exit only and accept trim, so the outside function is specified separately, where the Falcon comes with the rim cylinder and 9970 pull already. The Dormakaba 9600BB is another narrow stile Grade 1 option but with a pushpad instead of a crossbar.
11) Does the Falcon 1993NL/HB come with the cylinder, or do I have to key it separately?
A rim cylinder is included along with the 9970 pull, so the exterior side is complete out of the box. If you are keying the building to an existing system, your locksmith will swap or rekey that rim cylinder to your keyway rather than the device needing a different trim.
12) I need a fire rated concealed vertical rod device - is the Falcon 1993NL/HB the right pick?
The Falcon 1993NL/HB is UL305 listed and includes hex dogging as standard. Dogging is a panic-device feature, and fire exit hardware is ordered as a specifically fire rated model. Peers catalogued with a fire rating include the Adams Rite 3600 Series, the Adams Rite 3900 Series rated 1-1/2 hours, and the Sargent 12-MD8613 classroom function device, all Grade 1 and all wide stile. Confirm the rating against the door label before substituting.
13) Is the Falcon 1993NL/HB interchangeable with the Von Duprin 7547 or the DORMA 9600BB?
They serve the same narrow stile concealed vertical rod application but are not drop-in interchangeable. The Von Duprin 7547 is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors and is not wood door compatible; the DORMA 9600BB is a Grade 1 narrow stile pushpad device for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, non-fire rated, catalogued at 36 inches. The Falcon 1993NL/HB is a crossbar device with a 4-3/8 inch projection supplied at 51 inches with the 9970 pull and rim cylinder. Device length, rod routing, and top and bottom strike prep differ by manufacturer, so a swap normally means new door and header prep.
14) What narrow stile concealed vertical rod device fits stile widths that vary across a building?
The CRL Jackson 1285 push pad concealed vertical rod exit is catalogued for narrow, medium or wide stile doors and is an exit only function, which makes it a candidate when stile widths vary across a set of storefront openings. The Falcon 1993NL/HB is dedicated to narrow stile aluminum doors at 1-3/4 inch thickness and adds keyed night latch with hold back through its rim cylinder and 9970 pull, so where outside key access is needed the Falcon covers that and the CRL Jackson does not.
15) What finishes does the Falcon 1993NL/HB come in to match existing storefront doors?
Four: P13 dark bronze anodized aluminum, P28 satin aluminum clear anodized, P35 flat black coated, and US26D satin chrome. P28 and P13 are the two that usually match existing anodized aluminum storefront framing across a property.
