Falcon 24-C-EO 4 US28 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon 24-C concealed vertical rod exit device fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
Yes. The Falcon 24-C is built as a narrow stile device with a center case sized for aluminum storefront doors, and it fits 1-3/4 inch thick doors. Projection off the door face is 2-3/4 inches, which matters if the door swings into a tight vestibule or next to a side wall.
2) Does the Falcon 24-C 48 inch exit device work on a 2-1/4 inch thick door?
No. The 24-C is a single-thickness device for 1-3/4 inch doors only. For a thicker door, the DORMA 9600BB narrow stile concealed vertical rod device covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch thickness.
3) What strikes does the Falcon 24-C concealed vertical rod device latch into?
Two-point latching: a 4188 mortised strike at the head and a 2130 flush strike at the threshold. Top latch throw is 3/4 inch, bottom is 1/2 inch. If your frame and sill are already prepped for a different strike pattern, that prep has to be changed or filled before this device will latch correctly.
4) Can I avoid cutting the threshold by ordering the Falcon 24-C less bottom rod?
Yes, less bottom rod is a selectable option on the 24-C. Ordering LBR drops the bottom rod and the 2130 flush floor strike, so the door latches only at the head into the 4188 mortised strike. That is the usual choice where floor conditions are wet, dirty, or uneven. Keep the bottom rod when you want true two-point latching.
5) Can the Falcon 24-C be tied into an access control system?
Yes. You can order it with an RX request to exit switch to signal the panel when the pad is pushed, and with MEL motorized electric latch retraction so the device can be held retracted for scheduled free access. An EA exit alarm is also available if you want a local horn on a controlled egress door. Each is specified at the time of order.
6) The Falcon 24-C is narrow stile - what concealed vertical rod device should I use on a wide stile hollow metal or wood door?
The Falcon 24-C is built for narrow stile aluminum storefront doors. For wide stile openings, the Corbin Russwin ED5800 is a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dormakaba DORMA 9100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile pushpad device covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Adams Rite 8500 is a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device for hollow metal doors. For wood doors specifically, the BEST Precision 2701 is a wide stile reversible concealed vertical rod device for wood.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Falcon 24-C concealed vertical rod exit device from another manufacturer?
The Falcon 24-C is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device rated to ANSI A156.3-2001 for 1-3/4 inch doors. The closest peers by construction are the Von Duprin 3347A-EO, a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit only device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED4800, a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Dormakaba DORMA 9600BB is also Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod, with a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range if the leaf is thicker than 1-3/4 inch.
8) I need a fire-rated concealed vertical rod exit device - what are my options besides the Falcon 24-C?
Peers carrying a stated fire rating include the Adams Rite 3600, a Grade 1 fire-rated concealed vertical rod device for hollow metal doors, the Adams Rite 3900, Grade 1 fire-rated with a 1-1/2 hour rating, and the Sargent 12-MD8613, a Grade 1 fire-rated concealed vertical rod device in classroom function. All three are wide stile, so confirm your door stile before specifying. Note that fire-rated devices are supplied less dogging, while the Falcon 24-C offers hex or cylinder dogging as a build option.
9) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Falcon 24 Series concealed vertical rod device?
No handing to call out. The 24-C is non-handed, so one device covers left and right hand reverse openings. That makes it easier to stock a spare for a building with doors swinging both ways.
10) What dogging options are available on the Falcon 24-C, and which should I pick for a retail storefront?
Three choices: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Hex dogging uses an allen wrench to hold the pad down so the door pushes free during business hours, which is the common pick for retail. Cylinder dogging does the same job with a key, better where you do not want staff using a wrench. Less dogging is what you order on a fire rated opening, since dogging is not permitted there.
11) Is the Falcon 24-C rated for heavy traffic on an entry door used all day?
It is certified to ANSI A156.3-2001 Grade 1, the highest durability level in that standard for exit devices, with an extruded aluminum case. That is the level specified for continual-use commercial entrances like offices, schools, and retail fronts.
12) Should I use a concealed vertical rod device or a surface vertical rod on my storefront pair?
Concealed rods like the Falcon 24-C run inside the door, so nothing is exposed to be grabbed, kicked, or vandalized, and the face of the door stays clean. The trade-off is the door has to be prepped with rod channels, so concealed is straightforward on new or factory-prepped doors and a bigger job as a retrofit onto a door that has never had them. If the existing door has no concealed prep, a surface vertical rod device is the simpler swap.
13) What are the closest alternatives to the Falcon 24-C if I want a narrow stile concealed vertical rod from another brand?
Several line up on stile type and grade. The Von Duprin 3347A-EO is a narrow stile Grade 1 concealed vertical rod, exit only less bottom rod, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Adams Rite 8600 Series is a narrow stile concealed vertical rod for aluminum doors. The Corbin Russwin ED4800 is Grade 1 narrow stile for 1-3/4 inch doors and accepts trim. If you want a crossbar instead of a push pad, the Von Duprin 5547 and the Corbin Russwin ED7800 are narrow stile crossbar versions.
14) My rods keep going out of adjustment. Can the Falcon 24 Series rods be adjusted after installation?
Yes. The 24-C uses a patented center slide mechanism that lets the rods be adjusted in the field, so you can dial in top and bottom latch engagement without pulling the device off the door. Useful when a storefront door settles and the top latch stops picking up the 4188 mortised strike.
15) Is a crossbar exit device interchangeable with the Falcon 24-C push pad device?
They are not the same operation. The Falcon 24-C uses a push pad center case with a 2-3/4 inch projection. Crossbar concealed vertical rod alternatives in narrow stile include the Von Duprin 5547, a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED7800, a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Crossbar devices project differently across the door face and use their own door prep, so they are a design and prep decision, not a drop-in swap.
16) Which concealed vertical rod exit devices work on a storefront door where I am not sure of the stile width?
The Falcon 24-C is specified for narrow stile aluminum doors. If you need one device that covers more than one stile width, the CRL Jackson 1285 push pad concealed vertical rod panic exit is listed for narrow, medium or wide stile. The Adams Rite 8600 is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device for aluminum doors, and the BEST Precision 2601 is a narrow stile, non-handed concealed vertical rod exit only device like the Falcon 24-C, which is also non-handed.
17) What concealed vertical rod device should I standardize on for metal doors across a facility if the Falcon 24-C does not fit?
For metal doors, the Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM is a Grade 1 heavy duty concealed vertical rod exit device for 36 by 84 inch metal doors supplied with hex dogging, and the Adams Rite 8500 is a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device for hollow metal doors. The BEST Precision 2801 is a wide stile concealed vertical rod device. The Falcon 24-C carries the same Grade 1 rating under ANSI A156.3-2001 and can also be ordered with hex dogging, so mixing it on narrow stile aluminum leaves keeps a consistent grade across the facility.
18) What finishes does the Falcon 24-C exit device come in to match the rest of my doors?
Twelve finishes: 313AN dark bronze anodized, 643E aged bronze, US10 satin bronze, US15 satin nickel, US19 matte black, US26 bright chrome, US26D satin chrome, US28 aluminum anodized, US3 bright brass, US32 bright stainless, US32D satin stainless, and US4 satin brass. US28 and 313AN are the usual matches to standard clear and dark bronze anodized aluminum storefront.
