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

1) Will the Falcon 24-V exit device fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
That is exactly what the 24-V is built for. It is a narrow stile surface vertical rod device sized for a 48 inch (4 ft) door and door thickness of 1-3/4 inches. Case projection off the door face is 2-3/4 inches, so check your clearance to any adjacent frame, sidelite, or return wall before you set it.
2) Can I use the Falcon 24-V on a 1-3/8 inch door?
No. The 24-V is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors only, which is the standard commercial thickness. A thinner door will not give the concealed mounting screws the material they need, so you would need a device rated for that thickness instead.
3) What strike prep does the Falcon 24-V vertical rod device need at the head and floor?
Two strikes, prepped differently. The 3788 top strike is surface applied to the frame head, and the 2130 bottom strike mortises into the floor. Top latch throw is 3/4 inch, bottom is 1/2 inch, so the floor mortise has to be cut clean and to depth or the bottom bolt will drag. If you cannot cut the floor (existing terrazzo, tile, heated slab), order it less bottom rod and latch at the head only.
4) Do I have to specify handing on the Falcon 24-V?
The device body is non-handed, but you still choose RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse) when ordering, because the lever trim has to be handed to the opening. Stand outside the door: if it swings out toward you and the hinges are on your right, it is RHR.
5) What dogging options come on the Falcon 24 Series, and which should I pick?
Three choices: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Hex key dogging is the standard pick for a retail or office entrance where staff hold the pad down during business hours. Cylinder dogging puts that under key control, which is what most property managers want when tenants share the entrance. Less dogging is what you order on a fire rated opening, since a fire door cannot be held in a latched-back condition.
6) What lever trim functions can I order with the Falcon 24 Series?
Four trim functions on the 712L escutcheon trim: L for standard lever entry, NL night latch (key retracts the latch, lever is fixed), L-BE lever with blank escutcheon where no cylinder is wanted, and DT dummy trim for pull only on the inactive or exit-only side. Lever styles are Avalon, Dane, Latitude, Quantum, and Sutro, so you can match the lever shape already used elsewhere in the building.
7) Can the Falcon 24-V be set up for access control or an alarmed exit?
Yes, several ways. An RX request-to-exit switch can be added to signal the access control panel when the pad is pushed. For remote unlocking, MEL motorized electric latch retraction pulls the latches back electrically. EA exit alarm adds a local alarm on an emergency-only door. Pick one device option (MEL, EA, or none) plus RX as needed when you order.
8) Will a surface vertical rod device like the Falcon 24-V work on a pair of doors without a mullion?
Yes. A surface vertical rod latches into the frame head and the floor rather than into a strike on the jamb, so a pair of 24-V devices secures a double door opening with a clear center and no removable mullion. A rim device on the same pair would need a mullion to latch against. Tradeoff: you are cutting the floor for the 2130 bottom strike and you have exposed rods on the door face.
9) What other narrow stile surface vertical rod exit devices are equivalent to the Falcon 24-V?
The Falcon 24-V Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Closest narrow stile Grade 1 peers are the Von Duprin 3327A, the Von Duprin 7527, and the Corbin Russwin ED4400, all listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, plus the TownSteel ED3727 narrow stile Grade 1, which is also listed as wood door compatible. The Adams Rite 8200 Series is another narrow stile Grade 1 option.
10) I need a fire rated vertical rod exit device - is the Falcon 24-V the right pick?
The Falcon 24-V Series is described with UL listed panic exit and fire rating capabilities, so confirm the specific configuration carries the fire label you need. Peers explicitly listed as fire rated include the Adams Rite 3100 Series Grade 1, the Arrow S1150 (exit only, less trim, narrow or wide stile), the TownSteel EF9727 Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile, and the Sargent 2727 Grade 1 reversible exit only.
11) The door is a wide stile aluminum door - what should I use instead of the Falcon 24-V?
The Falcon 24-V is built for narrow stile doors, so on a wide stile door look at a wide stile device: the Von Duprin 2227 Grade 1 for 36 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 Grade 1, the Sargent 3727 Grade 1 exit only, or the TownSteel ED8927 Grade 1 wide stile. The Adams Rite 3100 Series is a wide stile Grade 1 option as well.
12) What looks like a substitute for the Falcon 24-V with lever trim but will not give me outside lever operation?
The Falcon 24-V covered here comes with 712L lever trim in L, L-BE, NL and DT functions. Several similar-looking vertical rod devices are exit only and provide no outside operating trim as supplied: the Arrow 3700 Series exit only bar, the Arrow S1150 less trim, the Sargent 2727 and Sargent 3727 exit only devices, and the Orca OED56 exit only. The Sargent 12-8710 is a dummy function device. The Corbin Russwin ED4400 and ED5400 are exit only but accept trim, so trim is ordered separately.
13) The Falcon 24-V is a 4 FT device - what if my door is 36 inches or narrower?
The Falcon 24-V configuration here is sized 48 inches. For 36 inch openings, comparable devices include the Von Duprin 2227-3FT, the Von Duprin 3327A 36 inch narrow stile, the Corbin Russwin ED4400 36 inch narrow stile, the BEST Precision 2201 36 inch wide stile, and the TownSteel ED3727 at 36 by 84 inches. Narrower still, the Adams Rite 8200 and Arrow S1150 are cataloged at 30 inches and the Design Hardware 1000V at 33 inches.
14) Can I use the Falcon 24-V on a wood door, or do I need a different device?
The Falcon 24-V is described for narrow stile aluminum storefront and commercial glazing doors at 1-3/4 inch thickness. Where wood door compatibility is the deciding factor, the TownSteel ED3727 narrow stile Grade 1, the TownSteel ED8927 wide stile Grade 1, and the TownSteel EF9727 fire rated Grade 1 are all listed as wood door compatible. The Von Duprin 7527 and 7827 are listed as not wood door compatible.
15) Is the Falcon 24-V Grade 1, and what standard is it certified to?
Grade 1 under ANSI A156.3-2001, which is the panic and fire exit hardware standard and the top durability tier. That is the grade an institutional or MRO spec normally calls for on a high traffic egress door in a school, hospital, or government building.
16) What does ordering the Falcon 24-V less bottom rod change?
Less bottom rod deletes the lower rod and the floor-mortised 2130 strike, so the device latches only at the head with the 3/4 inch top latch. That is the usual call where the floor cannot be cut, where the threshold sees water or salt, or where a dragging bottom bolt has been a maintenance problem. You give up the second latching point, so security at the meeting stile is lower.
17) I need a crossbar style vertical rod device rather than a push pad like the Falcon 24-V - what is the option?
The Falcon 24-V uses a stainless steel push pad. For a crossbar look on a narrow stile door, the Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts operator trim.
18) The Falcon 24-V requires me to pick a hand - is there a reversible or non-handed vertical rod device instead?
The Falcon 24-V device itself is listed as non-handed, though the ordering choices include RHR and LHR handing selections. If you want a device cataloged as field reversible, the BEST Precision 5201 Series 36 inch is a reversible surface vertical rod device and the Sargent 2727 is a reversible Grade 1 fire rated device. The Von Duprin 2227-3FT and Orca OED56 are also cataloged non-handed.
19) I want hex key dogging on a vertical rod device - how does the Falcon 24-V compare to other options?
The Falcon 24-V is ordered with a dogging choice of hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Among peers, the Von Duprin 7827 is cataloged as a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device with hex key dogging for 1-3/4 inch doors.
20) What finishes does the Falcon 24 Series lever trim come in for matching existing storefront hardware?
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. On aluminum storefront, 313AN and US28 are the two that normally match the existing frame extrusion.
21) How does the Falcon 24-V hold up in a high traffic entrance, and what keeps it from getting torn up?
The case is extruded aluminum, the push pad is covered in stainless steel for scratch resistance, and the end caps are flush so they are harder to knock off in an abusive opening. There are no exposed screws or rivets on the back of the device and all mounting screws are concealed, which also removes the obvious tamper points on the pull side.
