Falcon 212L-SP28 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to order the Falcon 212L trim left hand or right hand?
No handing call-out is required. The lever is field reversible and ships right hand reverse unless you specify otherwise, so one part covers either swing. A locksmith can flip it on the bench or at the opening.
2) What is the difference between the night latch and entrance function on the Falcon 212L trim?
Night latch means the lever is rigid and the key retracts the latch, so the door stays locked from outside and only a key gets you in. Entrance is the lever-operated version, where the lever retracts the latch when the trim is unlocked. Both functions are offered on the 212L in 628 aluminum anodized. Pick night latch for a back or service door you want key-only; pick entrance where staff need to come and go by lever.
3) Is the Falcon 212L heavy enough for a high-traffic entrance?
It is rated medium duty, commercial grade. That suits offices, retail, and multi-tenant residential openings with moderate traffic. For a main entrance cycling all day, or a facility standardizing on Grade 1, step up to a heavy-duty trim such as the Sargent 704ET night latch lever trim or the Von Duprin 210K-BE, both of which we list as heavy duty Grade 1.
4) Does the Falcon 212L trim come with a cylinder?
No cylinder is part of the 212L. The trim itself is catalogued as not keyed, so for the night latch function you supply the rim cylinder in your building's keyway and keying. Order it at the same time or the door goes back together unlockable.
5) What is a heavy duty alternative to the Falcon 212L exit device lever trim?
The Falcon 212L is a medium duty commercial trim. For heavier traffic, the Sargent 704ET is a Grade 1 heavy duty night latch lever trim with field reversible operation in the 700 Series, and the Sargent 704-ETL is the Grade 1 heavy duty night latch lever trim with key retract for PE Series devices. The Sargent 744 is a Grade 1 night latch freewheeling trim where the key retracts the latch, built for 8700 and 8900 Series surface vertical rod and mortise devices. All three are night latch function, so an entrance-function opening needs a different selection.
6) What lever exit trim should I use instead of the Falcon 212L if the opening needs storeroom function?
The Falcon 212L comes in Entrance and Night Latch functions, so storeroom openings need a different trim. The Tell EDELT80 is an escutcheon lever trim in storeroom function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Pamex E9000 is a Grade 1 storeroom trim with an L3 lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Design Hardware's KIL storeroom trim is a Grade 1 flat lever trim in Schlage C keyway for 1000 and 2000 Series devices. The Marks USA M195F is a storeroom lever trim on spring loaded roses for M9900 touchbar devices rather than an escutcheon.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Falcon 212L escutcheon lever exit trim from another manufacturer?
The Tell EDELT53 is the nearest match in form: an exit device escutcheon lever trim in keyed entry function, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Falcon 212L is likewise an escutcheon-and-lever trim, supplied in Entrance and Night Latch functions, so an EDELT53 covers the entrance side of the same opening. If the opening needs the night latch side, the Dorma YR03R is a wide stile escutcheon trim with R lever in night latch function, less cylinder. Confirm the trim matches the exit device family already on the door before ordering, since the 212L is built for Falcon 20 Series devices.
8) Can I use a Von Duprin 210K-BE in place of a Falcon 212L escutcheon trim?
They are not interchangeable. The Von Duprin 210K-BE is a Grade 1 heavy duty knob trim with blank escutcheon built for 22 Series exit devices, while the Falcon 212L is a lever trim for Falcon 20 Series devices. Two differences decide it: the 210K-BE presents a knob rather than a lever, and it is prepped for a different device family. If the opening is a Von Duprin 22 Series device that needs no outside operation at all, the Von Duprin 230DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty dummy trim with a 10 gauge steel escutcheon.
9) Which exit device trim looks like the Falcon 212L but will not work as a substitute?
The Detex 02BN is the closest visual match that is not a functional one: it is a dummy S-lever trim with a blank escutcheon for Value Series exit devices, so the lever does not retract the latch. The Dexter ED1500T-DUMM pull plate trim is likewise dummy function. On the electrified side, the Command Access ET15, ET25 and ET26 are electrified exit trims running 12V or 24V with fail safe and fail secure options, and the Von Duprin E360L-BE-03 is a Grade 1 electric passage trim with 03 lever, fail safe, for 33 and 35A Series. The Falcon 212L is a non-electronic mechanical trim, so any of those requires power and wiring the opening may not have.
10) Does the Falcon 212L lever meet ADA clearance at the door face?
All 212L levers return to within 1/2 inch of the door surface, which is the return the description ties to accessibility compliance. That closed return is what keeps a lever from catching a sleeve or a bag, and it is the detail an inspector looks at on a lever trim.
11) What happens if someone forces the lever on the Falcon 212L?
A shear pin takes the abuse. Excessive force or a vandalism attempt breaks the pin rather than the trim internals, and the pin is replaceable in the field. For a school corridor or a multi-tenant back entry, that turns a forced lever into a cheap part swap instead of a full trim replacement.
12) Can I get the Falcon 212L as an electrified trim for access control?
The 212L is a mechanical trim with no electrical option. If the opening needs card reader or remote release, look at electrified exit trim instead: Command Access offers the ET15, ET25, and ET26 with 12V/24V operation and fail safe or fail secure selection, and Von Duprin's E360L-BE-03 is a Grade 1 electric passage trim. Those let the lever be unlocked remotely; the 212L cannot.
13) I need an unkeyed lever trim for an exit device - what are my options next to the Falcon 212L?
The Falcon 212L is an unkeyed lever trim in Entrance and Night Latch functions. For a straight passage lever where the outside trim always retracts the latch, the Arrow SRX01 is a passage function Sierra lever trim on a rose for ED910, S1150 and S1250 devices, and the Corbin Russwin 3310AET is a Grade 1 passage trim for ED300 Series rim, surface vertical rod and mortise devices. Corbin Russwin also lists the x810ET passage trim for ED4000 Series and the x910ET heavy-duty passage trim for the ED5200S, ED5200, ED5400 and ED5800 Series. Match the trim to the device series already installed.
14) What night latch escutcheon trims compare to the night latch version of the Falcon 212L?
The Falcon 212L is offered in Night Latch function with a 9 3/4 inch by 2 3/4 inch brass escutcheon. Comparable night latch escutcheon trims include the Corbin Russwin VT957ET, a nightlatch escutcheon trim in stamped or formed stainless steel for ED5000 Series devices, and the Dorma YR03R wide stile escutcheon trim with R lever, night latch function, less cylinder. The Accentra 121NL is a nightlatch trim and the Accentra AU-441F is a night latch keyed lever trim with the Augusta design. The Dexter ED1500 nightlatch trim uses a raised lip pull plate rather than a lever, which changes how the outside of the door is operated.
15) Which exit trim should I choose instead of the Falcon 212L for a classroom door?
Classroom function is not among the Falcon 212L offerings, which are Entrance and Night Latch. The Accentra 446F is an Augusta lever exit device trim in classroom function, Grade 1. The Dexter ED1000T-CLRM-TP-NC is a Grade 1 classroom trim for ED1000 Series devices using a thumbpiece with pull plate and a cylinder, supplied less cylinder, so it is a thumbpiece rather than a lever.
16) If I want keypad or credential access on the outside of an exit device instead of a Falcon 212L lever, what trim does that?
The Falcon 212L is a mechanical, non-electronic lever trim, so access control has to come from a different trim. The Dormakaba E-Plex 201U is an electronic pushbutton exit trim in the E-Plex 2000 Series for wide stile doors, and the Dormakaba PowerPlex P201U exit trim suits rim, mortise and surface vertical rod devices. The Command Access 230L is an electrified version of the Von Duprin 230L trim running 12V or 24V with fail safe and fail secure options for V96, 36 and 23 Series devices. These need power and, in most cases, a wire transfer at the hinge that a mechanical trim does not.
17) Is the Falcon 212L escutcheon trim fire rated?
Fire rating on a trim follows the exit device and the door assembly it is installed on, and the 212L is a mechanical outside trim with a lever and escutcheon. If the opening is a labeled fire door, confirm the 20 Series device on it is the fire-rated version, because the trim cannot carry a rating the device does not have. The 212L itself is a night latch or entrance function trim, not a dogging or panic component.
18) What finish does the Falcon 212L escutcheon lever trim come in?
628 aluminum anodized is the finish offered, in both the night latch and entrance functions. That is a clear anodized aluminum tone, so it reads closest to aluminum storefront and mill-finish frames rather than to a brushed stainless or a dark bronze. If you are matching a building already standardized on satin chrome or oil rubbed bronze levers, the 212L will not blend in.
