Falcon 24-V-L-A 3 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Falcon 24-V secure a pair of doors without a center mullion?
Yes. A surface vertical rod device latches at the head and at the floor rather than into a strike on the jamb, so it works on a pair of doors with no center mullion. On the 24-V the 3788 top strike is surface applied to the frame head and the 2130 bottom strike is mortised into the floor. If you'd rather not cut the floor, order it less bottom rod and it latches at the top only.
2) Does the Falcon 24-V vertical rod device need to be ordered handed?
The device itself is non-handed, but the order still asks for RHR or LHR because the lever trim has to match the swing. Pick right hand reverse or left hand reverse based on the door as you stand on the outside (pull) side.
3) What do I have to specify when ordering a Falcon 24-V with lever trim?
Five choices beyond finish. Handing (RHR or LHR), whether you want it less bottom rod, dogging type (hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging), whether you need an RX request-to-exit switch, and a device option of none, MEL motorized electric latch retraction, or EA exit alarm. Then the lever style (Avalon, Dane, Latitude, Quantum, or Sutro) and the trim function: L lever, L-BE lever with blank escutcheon, NL night latch, or DT dummy trim.
4) Can I order the Falcon 24-V without dogging for a fire-rated opening?
Yes, less dogging is one of the three dogging choices, alongside hex dogging and cylinder dogging. Mechanical dogging is not permitted on a fire door, so less dogging is the one to pick there. The 24-V is UL listed for panic exit with optional A or B label fire rating.
5) Is the Falcon 24-V certified to a commercial grade for a school or hospital spec?
It is certified to ANSI A156.3-2001 at Grade 1, the top commercial level for exit devices, and it is UL listed for panic exit with optional A or B label fire rating. That covers the usual spec language for education, healthcare, and government openings.
6) Can the Falcon 24-V be tied into an access control system?
Yes. Order it with the RX request-to-exit switch to signal the panel when the push pad is used, and with MEL motorized electric latch retraction if you need the latches pulled in remotely for scheduled unlock. EA exit alarm is the other device option if you want local annunciation instead.
7) The Falcon 24-V is narrow stile - what should I order if my door is a wide stile aluminum or hollow metal leaf?
The Falcon 24-V is built for narrow stile openings, so on a wide stile leaf look at a device catalogued for that stile. The Von Duprin 2227-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device for 36 inch non-handed openings at 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Corbin Russwin ED5400 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device at 36 inches, 1-3/4 inch. The BEST Precision 2201 is a 36 inch wide stile surface vertical rod device, and the TownSteel ED8927 in 36 x 84 is Grade 1 wide stile and wood door compatible.
8) I need a fire rated vertical rod device - is the Falcon 24-V the right pick or should I look elsewhere?
The Falcon 24-V is UL listed for panic exit with optional A or B label fire rating, so it can be specified for a fire rated opening when ordered that way. If you want a device catalogued as fire rated outright, the Adams Rite 3100 Series 30 inch is Grade 1 wide stile with fire rating for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Arrow S1150 30 inch is fire rated and suits narrow or wide stile, the TownSteel EF9727 36 x 84 is a fire rated heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile device, and the Sargent 2727 is a Grade 1 fire rated reversible wide stile exit only device.
9) What is the closest narrow stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod alternative to the Falcon 24-V 3 ft device?
The Falcon 24-V is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod device in a 36 inch size built for narrow stile doors of 1-3/4 inch thickness. The closest peers on those points are the Von Duprin 3327A-3ft, a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device for 36 inch doors with a grooved case and 1-3/4 inch door thickness, the Von Duprin 7527-3ft in the 75 Series, also Grade 1 narrow stile at 1-3/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin ED4400, a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors. The TownSteel ED3727 in 36 x 84 is also Grade 1 narrow stile and is listed as wood door compatible.
10) My opening is a 30 inch door - can I use the Falcon 24-V?
The Falcon 24-V covered here is the 36 inch device. For a 30 inch leaf, the Adams Rite 8200 Series 30 inch is a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device, which matches the Falcon on grade and stile type, and the Adams Rite 3100 Series 30 inch is a Grade 1 fire rated device for wide stile doors at 1-3/4 inch thickness. The Arrow S1150 is also a 30 inch device and covers narrow or wide stile.
11) Will the Falcon 24-V latch into my existing top strike?
Probably not without changing the strike. The top latch throws 3/4 inch and the bottom 1/2 inch, and the device is built around its own hardware: the 3788 top strike surface applied to the head and the 2130 bottom strike mortised into the floor. Plan on using the supplied strikes rather than re-using what is on the frame.
12) How far does the Falcon 24-V stick out from the door face?
Projection is 2-3/4 inches. That matters where the door swings past a wall return, a sidelite, or a second leaf, so check your clearance on tight vestibules before you set the device.
13) What is the difference between night latch trim and standard lever trim on the Falcon 24-V?
Standard lever trim (L, the 712L) lets the lever retract the latch for normal outside entry. Night latch (NL, 712L-NL) uses a cylinder only to retract the latch, with no operating lever, so the door stays locked from outside until someone keys it. L-BE gives you a lever on a blank escutcheon with no cylinder prep, and DT is a dummy trim that does not operate the device at all, for pull-only exterior use.
14) What else could I use instead of the Falcon 24-V on a narrow stile aluminum door?
Narrow stile surface vertical rod alternatives we carry include the Von Duprin 3327A and 7527 (both Grade 1, 1-3/4 inch doors), the Corbin Russwin ED4400, the TownSteel ED3727, and the Adams Rite 8200 Series. One difference to weigh: the 24-V ships configured with lever trim, while the ED4400 and 3327A are exit-only devices that accept trim ordered separately.
15) If I do not need lever trim on the outside, what is the simpler alternative to the Falcon 24-V?
The Falcon 24-V is supplied with lever trim, offered in Avalon, Dane, Latitude, Quantum and Sutro lever styles. If the opening only needs egress with no outside operation, exit only devices cover it: the Arrow 3700 Series 30 inch is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit bar in exit only function, the Sargent 3727 is a Grade 1 exit only wide stile device with a standard push bar, and the Orca OED56 36 inch is an exit only standard duty vertical rod device supplied less bottom rod in aluminum finish and non-handed. The Corbin Russwin ED4400 is exit only but accepts trim if you want to add outside operation later.
16) What surface vertical rod devices look like a swap for the Falcon 24-V but are not?
Two traps. The Sargent 12-8710 is a surface vertical rod device in dummy function on a wide stile design, so it does not latch or provide egress and will not stand in for the Falcon 24-V, which is an active panic device with a 3/4 inch top latch throw and 1/2 inch bottom latch throw. The other is stile type: the Corbin Russwin ED7000 Series ED7400 and the ED5400 are both Grade 1 surface vertical rod devices, but the ED7400 uses a crossbar rather than a push pad and the ED5400 is wide stile, while the Falcon 24-V is a narrow stile push pad device.
17) The Falcon 24-V has to be ordered right hand reverse or left hand reverse - what is a non-handed or reversible alternative?
The Falcon 24-V device itself is catalogued non-handed, but the lever trim configuration is ordered RHR or LHR. If you want to stock one part for either swing, the BEST Precision 5201 Series 36 inch is a reversible surface vertical rod device, the Sargent 2727 is a reversible Grade 1 fire rated exit only device, the Von Duprin 2227-3FT is a non-handed Grade 1 device for 36 inch doors, and the Orca OED56 36 inch is non-handed. Those are exit only or device only, so outside lever operation would be handled separately.
18) I am putting a vertical rod device on a wood door - does the Falcon 24-V suit that?
The Falcon 24-V is a narrow stile device engineered for 1-3/4 inch doors, a profile aimed at storefront aluminum openings. Where wood door compatibility is the driver, TownSteel lists it explicitly: the ED3727 36 x 84 is Grade 1 narrow stile and wood door compatible, the ED8927 36 x 84 is Grade 1 wide stile and wood door compatible, and the EF9727 36 x 84 is fire rated heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile and wood door compatible. The Von Duprin 7527-3ft and 7827-3ft are both listed as not wood door compatible.
19) Which alternative to the Falcon 24-V comes with hex key dogging already specified?
The Falcon 24-V lets you choose hex dogging, cylinder dogging or less dogging when ordering. If you want a device catalogued with dogging fixed, the Von Duprin 7827-3ft is a 3 ft Grade 1 surface vertical rod device with hex key dogging, listed as narrow stile at 1-3/4 inch door thickness. Note it is not wood door compatible, so on a wood leaf the Falcon or a wood-rated TownSteel device is the better route.
20) What finishes does the Falcon 24 Series lever exit device come in to match other doors in my building?
Twelve finishes: 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 for aluminum storefront, US26D and US32D for most interior commercial openings.
21) Does the Falcon 24-V have exposed screws that get vandalized or loosened?
No. All mounting screws are concealed, there are no exposed screws or rivets on the back of the device, and the end caps are flush. The push pad is covered in stainless steel so it holds up to scratching in high traffic.
