Falcon 24-C-L-A 4 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon 24-C exit device fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
Yes, that is what the 24-C is built for. It uses a narrow stile center case, so it mounts on the slim stiles typical of aluminum storefront doors. Door thickness has to be 1-3/4 inches, which is the standard commercial leaf. If your opening is a wide stile hollow metal or wood door, look at a wide stile concealed vertical rod instead, such as the Corbin Russwin ED5800 or the DORMA 9100.
2) What strikes does the Falcon 24-C 48 inch device latch into?
Top and bottom latching uses a 4188 mortised strike at the head and a 2130 flush strike at the threshold. The top latch throws 3/4 inch and the bottom latch throws 1/2 inch, so the frame head needs the mortise prep and the sill needs the flush strike set for those throws. If your existing frame has a different concealed rod strike prep, plan on new prep.
3) Can I order the Falcon 24-C less bottom rod?
Yes, less bottom rod is a selectable option on the 24-C. LBR drops the bottom latch and rod, which keeps the threshold clear of debris and ice and stops the bottom latch from dragging on worn floors. It is a common choice on storefront and exterior openings, though it means the door latches only at the head.
4) What dogging options come on the Falcon 24 Series concealed vertical rod device?
Three choices: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Hex uses an allen wrench to hold the pushpad down for daytime free access, cylinder dogging does the same with a keyed cylinder so staff cannot dog it without a key, and less dogging is what you specify on fire rated openings where mechanical dogging is not permitted.
5) Can the Falcon 24-C be set up for access control with electric latch retraction or a request to exit signal?
Both are available. MEL motorized electric latch retraction lets an access control system pull the latches back and hold the door in a push-pull state, and the RX request to exit switch signals the panel when someone pushes the pad from inside. An EA exit alarm is the third device option if you want local annunciation on a controlled egress door instead.
6) What lever trim functions can I get with the Falcon 24 Series exit device?
Four trim functions on the 712L lever: L lever for normal keyed entry through the trim, NL night latch, L-BE lever with blank escutcheon where no cylinder is used, and DT dummy trim for pull-only exterior. Five lever designs are offered across those functions, Avalon, Dane, Latitude, Quantum and Sutro, so you can match the lever shape to the other openings in the building.
7) Is the Falcon 24-C rated for fire doors and does it meet Grade 1?
The 24 Series carries ANSI A156.3-2001 Grade 1 certification and is UL listed as a panic exit device with A or B label fire rating capability. On a fire rated opening specify less dogging, since the fire label rules out mechanical dogging.
8) I need a classroom function concealed vertical rod device - does the Falcon 24-C do that?
The Falcon 24-C lever trim functions are dummy trim, lever, lever with blank escutcheon, and night latch. If the specification calls for classroom function, the Sargent 12-MD8613 is a Grade 1 fire-rated concealed vertical rod device with classroom function, though it is wide stile rather than narrow stile.
9) What is the closest narrow stile concealed vertical rod alternative to the Falcon 24-C with lever trim?
The Falcon 24-C is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors with lever trim. The closest narrow stile Grade 1 peers for 1-3/4 inch doors are the Von Duprin 3347A and the Corbin Russwin ED4800, which is exit only and accepts trim. The Adams Rite 8600 Series is also narrow stile Grade 1 and is described for aluminum doors, but it is non-fire-rated.
10) I have a wide stile hollow metal door, not a storefront - what should I use instead of the Falcon 24-C?
The Falcon 24-C is built as a narrow stile device for aluminum storefront stiles. For wide stile hollow metal doors, the Adams Rite 8500 Series and the Adams Rite 3600 Series are wide stile concealed vertical rod devices for hollow metal doors, the 3600 being fire-rated and the 8500 not. The DORMA 9100 Series is another wide stile Grade 1 pushpad option, rated for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.
11) The Falcon 24-C is going on a wood door - is that the right pick?
The Falcon 24-C is specified for 1-3/4 inch narrow stile applications and its description centers on aluminum storefront doors. If the opening is a wood door, the BEST Precision 2701 Series is a wide stile reversible concealed vertical rod device described for wood doors. Note that the Von Duprin 7547 narrow stile device is listed as not wood door compatible.
12) My door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches - what concealed vertical rod device fits?
The Falcon 24-C is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors. For thicker leaves, the DORMA 9600BB narrow stile pushpad device and the DORMA 9100 wide stile pushpad device both list a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range in Grade 1 heavy duty, with the 9600BB non-fire-rated.
13) How far does the Falcon 24 exit device stick out from the door face?
Projection is 2-3/4 inches from the door. That matters where the door swings into a corridor with a clear width requirement, or where a wall-mounted item sits close to the swing path. Because the rods are concealed in the door, there is nothing else projecting above or below the center case.
14) Should I use a concealed vertical rod device or a surface vertical rod on my storefront pair?
Concealed rod, like the Falcon 24-C, runs the rods inside the door stile, so nothing is exposed to vandalism and the door face stays clean. It requires a door prepped for concealed rods, so it is the right call on new aluminum doors or ones already prepped for CVR. Surface vertical rod is the retrofit answer when the existing doors have no internal rod channel, since it mounts to the face without routing the stile.
15) I only need exit only, no lever trim - what is the alternative to the Falcon 24-C lever trim device?
The Falcon 24-C configuration described here carries lever trim as its trim hardware. For openings with no outside trim, the Von Duprin 3347A-EO is an exit only less bottom rod narrow stile Grade 1 device, and the BEST Precision 2601 Series is a narrow stile non-handed exit only device. The CRL Jackson 1085 Series is also exit only, in a wide stile 48 inch configuration.
16) How does the Falcon 24-C push pad device differ from a crossbar concealed vertical rod device?
The Falcon 24-C uses a stainless steel push pad cover with flush end caps and a 2-3/4 inch projection. Crossbar concealed vertical rod alternatives include the Von Duprin 5547 and 7547 in narrow stile Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED7800, a narrow stile Grade 1 crossbar device that accepts operator trim. The actuating surface and the look on the door are the difference, not the latching concept.
17) Which concealed vertical rod devices are fire-rated if the Falcon 24-C configuration I need is not?
The Falcon 24-C is UL listed for panic exit with A or B label fire rating capability. Where a fire-rated peer is required instead, the Adams Rite 3600 Series and the Adams Rite 3900 Series are both Grade 1 fire-rated concealed vertical rod devices for hollow metal doors, the 3900 carrying a 1-1/2 hour rating, and the Sargent 12-MD8613 is fire-rated in classroom function. All three are wide stile.
18) Is the CRL Jackson 1285 a drop-in substitute for the Falcon 24-C?
Not directly. The CRL Jackson 1285 is a push pad concealed vertical rod panic exit listed for narrow, medium or wide stile, but it is exit only, so it does not carry the lever trim functions the Falcon 24-C offers. The Falcon 24-C is non-handed Grade 1 with lever trim and uses a 4188 mortised top strike and 2130 flush bottom strike, so strike prep and trim must both be reconciled before treating either as a swap.
19) What finishes does the Falcon 24 Series exit device come in to match existing hardware?
Twelve finishes are offered: 313AN dark bronze anodized, 643E aged bronze, US3 bright brass, US4 satin brass, US10 satin bronze, US15 satin nickel, US19 matte black, US26 bright chrome, US26D satin chrome, US28 aluminum anodized, US32 bright stainless and US32D satin stainless. US28 and 313AN are the usual matches on aluminum storefront, and US32D is the common institutional standard.
20) Will the Falcon 24-C look clean on a glass storefront where both sides of the door are visible?
There are no exposed screws or rivets on the back of the device and all mounting screws are concealed, so the inside face reads clean. The pushpad cover is stainless steel for scratch resistance and the end caps are flush to take abuse in high traffic entries.
