Falcon 24-V-EO 3 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Falcon 24-V-EO have outside trim, or can anyone get back in through the door?
Exit only. The EO configuration ships less trim, so there is no outside lever, knob or pull and no way to release the latches from the outside. It is one-way egress. If someone needs to key back in at that opening, order the NL-OP configuration instead, which is the night latch with optional pull and is offered across the same finish range.
2) Can a surface vertical rod exit device like the Falcon 24-V secure a pair of doors with no mullion?
Yes, and that is the reason to pick a vertical rod over a rim device. The 24-V latches at the head and at the floor rather than into the jamb, so a pair of doors can be secured with no center mullion in the way. The top strike is the 3788, surface applied to the frame head, and the bottom is the 2130, mortised into the floor. Budget for that floor mortise: on an existing slab or a tiled lobby it is the part of the job people forget. If you want a rim device instead, you are committing to a removable mullion between the leaves.
3) Is the Falcon 24-V handed, or will one device work on both leaves of a pair?
Non-handed. One 24-V-EO works left or right hand, so on a pair of doors you order two identical devices rather than matching hands, and a distributor stocking for a building only carries one part number per finish.
4) Can I skip the bottom rod on the Falcon 24-V to avoid the floor strike and the dirt trap?
Yes, less bottom rod is an available option on the 24-V. That removes the bottom rod and latch, which means no 2130 floor mortise and nothing down at the threshold to collect grit or get kicked out of alignment. The tradeoff is that all the latching then happens at the top strike only, so the leaf has less resistance to being pulled at the bottom. Less bottom rod openings normally want an auto flat goods or a floor stop in the package. If you want both latch points, leave it off and plan on the floor prep.
5) Will the Falcon 24-V latch into the strikes I already have at the head and floor?
Check the throws before you reuse anything. The 24-V puts out 3/4 inch at the top latch and 1/2 inch at the bottom. The top latch is a deadlocking latch. Those are the numbers your existing strike pockets have to accept in depth and in position. If the door currently carries another manufacturer's vertical rod device, the strike locations rarely line up, and the 24-V is specified with its own 3788 top strike and 2130 floor strike. Plan on setting both.
6) I have a wide stile door, not a narrow stile storefront. What should I use instead of the Falcon 24-V?
The 24-V is a narrow stile device and belongs on an aluminum storefront leaf. On a wide stile aluminum or a hollow metal door, go to a wide stile surface vertical rod instead. The Von Duprin 2227 is a Grade 1 wide stile 36 inch device rated for 1-3/4 inch doors and non-handed, which is the closest like-for-like. The Corbin Russwin ED5400 is another Grade 1 wide stile 36 inch option for 1-3/4 inch doors that also accepts trim, so you can add an outside lever later. Sargent's 3727 is a Grade 1 wide stile exit only device if you want to stay push bar style.
7) My opening is a fire rated door. Can I use the Falcon 24-V on it?
Handle a fire opening deliberately. If the label on your door and frame calls for fire exit hardware, the cleanest route is a device carried as fire rated from the start: the Adams Rite 3100 is a Grade 1 fire rated surface vertical rod for 1-3/4 inch doors in wide stile, the Arrow S1150 is a fire rated exit only surface vertical rod for 1-3/4 inch doors that suits narrow or wide stile, and TownSteel's EF9727 is a fire rated Grade 1 heavy duty 36 by 84 inch wide stile device that also covers wood doors. Note that fire exit hardware cannot be dogged down, so if you were planning to dog the device open during business hours, a fire rated opening takes that option away.
8) What is the closest narrow stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit device to the Falcon 24-V-EO in a 36 inch size?
The Von Duprin 3327A is the nearest equivalent: a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod exit device for 36 inch doors with a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, matching the Falcon 24-V-EO's Grade 1 narrow stile construction and 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Von Duprin 7527 is a second narrow stile Grade 1 option at 3 ft with the same 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Corbin Russwin ED4400 is also a Grade 1 narrow stile 36 inch device at 1-3/4 inch thickness, though it is built to accept trim rather than being supplied exit only.
9) The Sargent 12-8710 looks like a match for a vertical rod exit device - will it work as a replacement for a Falcon 24-V-EO?
No. The Sargent 12-8710 is a dummy function device: it has the appearance and push bar of a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device but does not latch or release, so it is used on the inactive leaf of a pair or where no egress function is needed. The Falcon 24-V-EO is an exit only device with a working 3/4 inch top latch throw and 1/2 inch bottom latch throw. For a live egress opening, the Sargent 2727 or 3727 are the exit only functions in the Sargent range.
10) What has to be specified on the order for a Falcon 24-V beyond the finish?
Four decisions sit on the order form for the 24-V. Function: EO exit only, or NL-OP night latch with optional pull. Finish, from twelve choices. Dogging. And the electrical options, which are MEL motorized electric latch retraction, EA exit alarm, or none; RX request to exit switch is ordered separately from that. Less bottom rod is also elected at order time. Get the electrical choice right up front, since MEL and RX are factory items, not something a locksmith retrofits in the field.
11) What is the closest narrow stile alternative to the Falcon 24-V if I need outside trim on the door?
The 24-V-EO ships less trim and the EO version takes none. If the opening needs an outside lever or operator trim, stay narrow stile and look at the Corbin Russwin ED4400, a Grade 1 narrow stile 36 inch surface vertical rod for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim, or the ED7400, a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar version that accepts operator trim. The Von Duprin 3327A and 7527 are the other Grade 1 narrow stile 36 inch devices for 1-3/4 inch doors, though the 7527 is not rated for wood doors. Within Falcon, the simpler path is ordering the 24-V in NL-OP rather than EO, which adds the night latch and optional pull on the outside.
12) Can I tie the Falcon 24-V into an access control system?
Yes, and the options are elected at order time. MEL, motorized electric latch retraction, pulls the latches back electrically so a card reader or a push button can release the opening and the door pushes free. RX, a request to exit switch, signals the panel when someone pushes the pad from the inside, which is what you use to shunt an alarm or stop a forced door event on legitimate egress. EA is an onboard exit alarm for a door you want to monitor without a panel. On MEL, plan the power transfer and the wire path through the frame as part of the door package.
13) I need a push pad exit device, not a crossbar - which of these are which?
The Falcon 24-V-EO uses a push pad, with a stainless steel push pad cover over the pushing surface. Among the alternatives, the Arrow 3700 Series is a wide stile pushpad exit bar and the Sargent 3727 uses a standard push bar, while the Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a crossbar device in a Grade 1 narrow stile 36 inch configuration. Crossbar and push pad devices are both compliant panic hardware, but they present differently on the door, which matters when a property manager is matching the rest of a building's openings.
14) Which surface vertical rod exit devices are rated for wood doors?
Three TownSteel devices are listed as wood door compatible: the EF9727, a fire rated Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile device at 36 inch by 84 inch; the ED3727, a Grade 1 narrow stile 36 inch by 84 inch device; and the ED8927, a Grade 1 wide stile 36 inch by 84 inch device. By contrast the Von Duprin 7527 and 7827, both Grade 1 devices for 1-3/4 inch doors, are not wood door compatible. The Falcon 24-V-EO is a narrow stile device engineered for narrow stile aluminum storefront doors.
15) The Falcon 24-V-EO is non-handed - which alternatives can also be installed on either hand?
The Falcon 24-V-EO is non-handed, so one device covers left and right hand openings. Among the alternatives, the Von Duprin 2227 is a Grade 1 wide stile 36 inch device listed as non-handed, the BEST Precision 5201 is a reversible 36 inch surface vertical rod device, and the Sargent 2727 is a reversible Grade 1 fire rated wide stile exit only device. Non-handed and reversible hardware is what keeps a multi-building stocking list short, since the same part number covers every swing.
16) Can I order a surface vertical rod exit device less bottom rod instead of the Falcon 24-V?
The Falcon 24-V-EO can be ordered less bottom rod, which removes the floor strike and the rod below the device. The Orca OED56 is the other option supplied less bottom rod, a 36 inch standard duty exit only device for 1-3/4 inch doors in an aluminum finish and non-handed. Less bottom rod is chosen where the floor mortise for a bottom strike is unwanted; on the Falcon, the standard arrangement mortises the 2130 bottom strike into the floor with the 3788 top strike surface applied.
17) What is the difference between the Adams Rite 8200 and the Adams Rite 3100 as alternatives to a narrow stile exit device?
They differ on stile and fire rating. The Adams Rite 8200 Series is a narrow stile life safety surface vertical rod device in 30 inch, Grade 1, not fire rated, so it is the one that shares the Falcon 24-V-EO's narrow stile profile. The Adams Rite 3100 Series is a 30 inch Grade 1 fire rated device in wide stile for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Adams Rite 8100 Series is the wide stile life safety version, Grade 1 and not fire rated. Match the stile to the door section first, then confirm whether the opening carries a fire label.
18) Which vertical rod exit devices come with hex key dogging already specified?
The Von Duprin 7827 is a 3 ft Grade 1 surface vertical rod device specified with hex key dogging, on a device for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Falcon 24-V-EO takes dogging as a selectable option at order time, alongside device options for motorized electric latch retraction, exit alarm, and a request to exit switch. Dogging holds the latches retracted for scheduled open hours, so it is a function choice rather than a substitution issue, but it must be omitted on a fire rated opening.
19) What finishes does the Falcon 24-V surface vertical rod device come in?
Twelve, and every one of them is available in both the EO and the NL-OP function: 313AN dark bronze anodized, 628 aluminum anodized, 643E aged bronze, 612 satin bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 629 bright stainless, and 630 satin stainless. For matching an existing storefront line, 628 aluminum anodized and 313AN dark bronze are the two that pair with standard anodized aluminum entrances; 626 satin chrome is the usual match where the rest of the building's hardware is 626.
20) How well does the Falcon 24-V hold up in a high abuse entrance like a school or a retail front door?
The case is extruded aluminum and the push pad cover is stainless steel, so the surface people actually hit every day is the scratch resistant part. End caps are flush, which is the detail that matters in an abusive opening, since protruding end caps are what get kicked off first. Mounting screws are all concealed with nothing exposed on the back of the door, so there is no fastener head for someone to attack. Grade 1 under ANSI A156.3-2001 is the heavy duty commercial tier.
21) How do the Dexter ED1000 and ED1500 compare to the Falcon 24-V-EO for a Grade 1 vertical rod opening?
Both Dexter series are Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit devices, the same certified grade as the Falcon 24-V-EO, which is Grade 1 to ANSI A156.3-2001. The Dexter ED1500 is listed as not fire rated. Within the Dexter range the ED2000 steps down to Grade 2, so the ED1000 and ED1500 are the ones that hold the Grade 1 line on a spec that calls for it.
