Falcon 24-V-EO 4 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon 24-V exit device fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
Yes. The Falcon 24-V is built as a narrow stile device, which is what a typical aluminum storefront door needs, and it takes a 1-3/4 inch door. The center case is sized for narrow stile, so it mounts on the stile without crowding the glass. Projection off the door face is 2-3/4 inches, which matters if the door swings into a tight vestibule or past a wall return.
2) Does the Falcon 24-V-EO need to be handed when I order it?
No handing to specify. The 24-V-EO is non-handed, so one device covers a left or right hand door. That also means a property manager stocking spares only has to carry one part for both leaves of a pair.
3) What strikes does the Falcon 24 Series vertical rod device latch into, and does the floor need prep?
Two strikes, and yes, the floor gets cut. The 3788 top strike is surface applied to the frame head, while the 2130 bottom strike mortises into the floor. Top latch throws 3/4 inch, bottom throws 1/2 inch. If you cannot mortise the floor, order the device less bottom rod instead and it latches at the head only.
4) Does exit only mean there is no way to get back in from outside?
Correct. The 24-V-EO ships less trim in the exit only function, so there is no exterior lever, pull, or cylinder. It is egress out, locked solid from outside. If you need keyed re-entry, take the NL-OP function instead, which is night latch with an optional pull and gives you keyed access from the exterior side.
5) Is the Falcon 24-V-EO Grade 1 and ANSI certified for a school or hospital spec?
It carries Grade 1 under ANSI A156.3-2001, the top durability class for exit devices, and it is a commercial-rated device. Extruded aluminum body with a stainless steel push pad. For a spec that also calls for a fire rated opening, confirm the fire label requirement against the exact configuration you order, since dogging is not permitted on a fire door.
6) Do I need a mullion to use a surface vertical rod device on a pair of doors?
No. A surface vertical rod device latches into the frame head and the floor rather than into a strike on the opposite leaf, so a pair of 24-V devices secures a pair of doors with no center mullion and a clear opening between them. That is the main reason to choose vertical rod over a rim device, which does need a strike, meaning a mullion or an active leaf to latch against.
7) What is the closest narrow stile equivalent to the Falcon 24-V-EO surface vertical rod exit device?
The Falcon 24-V-EO is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod device built for narrow stile aluminum doors at 1-3/4 inch thickness. The closest peers on the same stile type and grade are the Von Duprin 3327A, a Grade 1 grooved case narrow stile surface vertical rod device for 36 inch doors at 1-3/4 inch thickness, the Von Duprin 7527, a 75 Series Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device, and the Corbin Russwin ED4400, a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors. The ED4400 is listed as exit only and accepts trim, so it covers both the EO and trimmed configurations.
8) I need a fire rated surface vertical rod exit device - what should I use instead?
Peers carrying a published fire rating include the Adams Rite 3100 Series, a Grade 1 fire rated surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors in a wide stile format, the Arrow S1150, a fire rated exit only device listed for narrow or wide stile and 1-3/4 inch doors, and the TownSteel EF9727 of the 9700 Series, a fire rated ANSI Grade 1 heavy duty device for 36 by 84 inch wide stile openings that is wood door compatible. The Arrow S1150 is the one of the three that covers narrow stile, so it is the nearest fit for a storefront opening.
9) My door is a wide stile hollow metal door, not an aluminum storefront - which device fits instead of the Falcon 24-V?
The Falcon 24-V-EO is built as a narrow stile device, so on a wide stile opening the wide stile peers are the better match. Grade 1 wide stile options include the Von Duprin 2227 for 36 inch doors at 1-3/4 inch thickness, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Sargent 3727 of the 30 Series exit only, the Sargent 2727 reversible fire rated device of the 20 Series, and the TownSteel ED8927 of the 8900 Series, which is wood door compatible.
10) I need exterior trim on the door - is the Falcon 24-V-EO the right choice?
No. The 24-V-EO is an exit only device supplied less trim, meaning no outside lever or pull operation. For a narrow stile opening that needs keyed or lever access from outside, the Corbin Russwin ED4400 is a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device listed as exit only and accepts trim, and the Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar device that accepts operator trim. On the Falcon itself, the NL-OP function adds an optional night latch pull rather than full lever trim.
11) What looks like a substitute for the Falcon 24-V-EO but will not actually work?
Two to rule out. The Sargent 12-8710 is a surface vertical rod device of the 8700 Series but its function is dummy, so it provides no egress latching and cannot stand in for a working panic device. The Adams Rite 3100 Series is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors like the Falcon, but it is a wide stile device and will not land on a narrow stile aluminum storefront stile the way the 24-V does.
12) I cannot mortise a strike into the floor - what surface vertical rod device should I look at?
The Falcon 24-V-EO as specified uses a 3788 surface applied top strike with a 2130 bottom strike mortised into the floor, though it can be ordered less bottom rod, which removes the floor strike requirement. If you prefer a device supplied that way from the start, the Orca OED56 Series is a 36 inch standard duty vertical rod exit device furnished less bottom rod, exit only and non-handed, for 1-3/4 inch doors.
13) Why would I choose less bottom rod on a Falcon 24-V?
Less bottom rod drops the lower rod and the floor strike entirely. It is the usual call where the threshold is uneven, where carpet or a drain makes a floor mortise impractical, or where the bottom rod would be a trip and maintenance problem in high traffic. You lose the second latching point at the sill, so security at the bottom of the door goes with it. Less bottom rod is a required selection on the order, so you choose yes or no either way.
14) Which dogging option should I pick for the Falcon 24 Series?
Three choices, and the building decides. Hex dogging uses an Allen key to hold the pushpad down so the door stays push-open during business hours, the cheapest way to get that. Cylinder dogging does the same but with a keyed cylinder, which is what most schools and institutions want so a hex key from a hardware store cannot unlock the building. Less dogging is required on a fire door, since a fire rated opening must latch at all times.
15) Can I get the Falcon 24-V with electric latch retraction or an alarm for an access control job?
Yes. The 24-V takes MEL motorized electric latch retraction, which pulls the latches back on a signal so a card reader or scheduled unlock leaves the door push-open, and it takes an EA exit alarm for a door you want to monitor as an emergency exit only. An RX request-to-exit switch is a separate selection, and that is what tells the access control panel the pushpad was used so the alarm does not report a forced door.
16) Will the Falcon 24-V drop into the holes left by the device I am removing?
Plan on new door prep. Vertical rod devices vary in center case hole pattern and rod spacing between manufacturers, so a 24-V going onto a door that held another brand almost always needs fresh drilling and a new head strike. Falcon supplies templates for the mounting holes. Two things to check before you order: the leaf has to be 1-3/4 inches thick, and you need to know whether you can mortise the floor for the 2130 bottom strike or whether you should order less bottom rod.
17) Is there a lighter duty or Grade 2 alternative to the Falcon 24-V-EO for a low traffic door?
The Falcon 24-V-EO is certified to ANSI A156.3-2001 Grade 1. If the opening does not call for Grade 1, the Dexter ED2000 Series is a Grade 2 surface vertical rod panic device and the TownSteel TS5100 Series is a Grade 2 heavy duty wide stile surface vertical rod device for 36 by 84 inch doors. The Design Hardware 2000V is catalogued as a standard duty surface vertical rod device, with the Design Hardware 1000V as the heavy duty counterpart.
18) I need a reversible surface vertical rod device - what are my options versus the Falcon 24-V?
The Falcon 24-V-EO is non-handed, so it covers either swing without ordering a hand. If you are cross-shopping devices described as reversible, the BEST Precision 5201 Series is a 36 inch reversible surface vertical rod device and the Sargent 2727 is a reversible Grade 1 fire rated wide stile device. The Orca OED56 Series is also non-handed and is supplied less bottom rod.
19) Which surface vertical rod devices use a crossbar or push bar instead of a push pad like the Falcon 24-V?
The Falcon 24-V-EO uses a stainless steel push pad with flush end caps. If the spec or the existing hardware on the other doors calls for a bar, the Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Sargent 3727 is a Grade 1 device with a standard push bar, and the Arrow 3700 Series 37-01-E is a wide stile pushpad exit bar for 1-3/4 inch doors, exit only.
20) What finishes does the Falcon 24 Series exit device come in to match my other storefront hardware?
Twelve finishes across both functions: 313AN dark bronze anodized, US28 aluminum anodized, 643E aged bronze, US10 satin bronze, US3 bright brass, US4 satin brass, US15 satin nickel, US19 matte black, US26 bright chrome, US26D satin chrome, US32 bright stainless, and US32D satin stainless. For aluminum storefront, 313AN and US28 are the two that match standard anodized door finishes.
21) Are the mounting screws visible once the Falcon 24 Series device is installed?
No exposed screws or rivets. All mounting fasteners on the 24-V are concealed, including the back of the device, and the pushpad is stainless with flush end caps. On a glass front entrance where the hardware is at eye level all day, that matters, and the flush caps hold up better where carts and luggage hit the device.
