Falcon 25-C-L-A 3 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to order the Falcon 25-C exit device handed, or can I flip it on site?
Handing is a required selection, RHR or LHR, but the 25-C is field reversible, so an installer can change the hand at the opening if the door turns out to be the other way around. Order the hand you expect and you are not stuck if the drawing was wrong.
2) Will the Falcon 25-C latch into the strike that is already in my frame?
The 25-C uses a 3/4 inch latch throw at the top and bottom of the door, not into a jamb strike like a rim device. Concealed vertical rod means it latches into a strike at the head and a floor or threshold strike, so existing rim or mortise strike preps in the jamb will not be reused. Plan on head and floor strike prep.
3) Can I use a concealed vertical rod device on a pair of doors with no mullion?
Yes, and that is the main reason to pick one. Because the 25-C latches vertically at the head and the sill instead of into the jamb, a pair of doors can be secured without a center mullion and the full opening stays clear. If your opening is a single door in a frame, a rim device is the simpler and cheaper answer; the concealed rod is what you buy when you need the clear pair opening plus a clean door face with the rods hidden inside the door.
4) Which dogging option do I pick on a fire rated Falcon 25-C?
Dogging on the 25-C comes three ways: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Hex dogging is the standard mechanical hold-down with an allen key; cylinder dogging lets you dog it with a key so anyone with the key can hold the pad down; less dogging has none. Fire rated openings are required to latch at all times, so a fire rated 25-C is ordered less dogging. Use hex or cylinder dogging only on the non-rated version.
5) What happens to the Falcon 25-C electric latch retraction when the power drops?
That depends on which electric option you order. FSA (fail safe) unlocks the outside trim on power loss, which is what you want on a stair door or an opening that has to be enterable during an alarm. FSE (fail secure) stays locked from the outside when power drops. Either way the push pad always releases from the inside, so egress is never affected. If you do not need electric access control, order the electric locking option as None.
6) Can I get a Falcon 25-C exit device that signals the access control system when someone exits?
Yes. RX (request to exit) is a switch that reports the push pad being operated, which is what you tie into an access control panel to shunt an alarm on legitimate egress. Separately, DM and LM latchbolt monitoring switches report whether the latch is actually thrown, which is the signal a security integrator uses to confirm the door is secure rather than just closed. MEL (motorized electric latch retraction) is the option to pick when the device needs to be held retracted for scheduled free access, and EA adds a local exit alarm.
7) What is the wide stile equivalent to the Falcon 25-C from another brand?
For a wide stile Grade 1 concealed vertical rod, the closest peers are the Corbin Russwin ED5800 (ED5000 Series, wide stile, 1-3/4 inch door, exit only or accepts trim) and the DORMA 9100 Series wide stile pushpad, which covers a wider 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. The BEST Precision 2801 is another wide stile concealed vertical rod option. The difference to weigh is trim: the Falcon 25-C is ordered with lever trim as part of the device, while the ED5800 and the Corbin peers are listed as exit only or trim-accepting, so the outside trim is a separate specification.
8) My doors are narrow stile aluminum storefront. What do I use instead of the Falcon 25-C?
The 25-C is a wide stile device and will not fit a narrow stile aluminum door. Narrow stile concealed vertical rod options include the Von Duprin 3347A at 36 inches, the Von Duprin 5547 and 7547 crossbar devices, the Adams Rite 8600 Series for aluminum doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED4800. All of those are Grade 1 and the Von Duprin and Corbin ones are listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. Note the Von Duprin 3347A, 5547 and 7547 are listed non fire rated, so if the opening needs a rated device, they are not the substitute.
9) I only need free egress on the door, no outside lever - is there a simpler concealed vertical rod device than the Falcon 25-C?
Yes. The Falcon 25-C carries lever trim, which is what you want when the door has to be operated from the outside. Where the door is egress only, an exit-only device drops the outside trim entirely: the CRL Jackson 1085 Series is a non-handed wide stile concealed vertical rod panic device in exit-only function, and the BEST Precision 2601 Series is an exit-only, non-handed narrow stile concealed vertical rod device. The Von Duprin 3347A-EO is a Grade 1 narrow stile exit-only device supplied less bottom rod for 1-3/4 inch doors.
10) The doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inch - what concealed vertical rod device covers that?
The Falcon 25-C is built for 1-3/4 inch doors. Where the leaf is thicker, the DORMA 9100 Series covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch as a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile push pad concealed vertical rod device, though it is non-fire-rated. For a narrow stile opening in that same thickness range, the DORMA 9600BB Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile push pad device at 36 inches, also non-fire-rated.
11) What is the closest wide stile concealed vertical rod alternative to the Falcon 25-C with lever trim?
The Corbin Russwin ED5800 is the nearest wide stile match. Like the Falcon 25-C, it is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device built for wide stile doors at 1-3/4 inch thickness, and it accepts trim, so it can be paired with lever trim the way the 25-C carries its 510L lever. The Falcon 25-C ships with lever trim as its function and offers Avalon, Dane, Latitude, Quantum and Sutro lever styles; the ED5800 is ordered as an exit-only device that accepts trim, so the trim is specified separately.
12) The door is wood - can the Falcon 25-C go on it, or is there a device made for wood doors?
The BEST Precision 2701 Series is a wide stile reversible concealed vertical rod exit device specified for wood doors. The Falcon 25-C is a wide stile device for 1-3/4 inch doors with field reversible handing, which covers the same opening geometry, but where the specification calls out wood door construction the 2701 is written for it. The Von Duprin 7547-3ft is the one to rule out on a wood door - it is listed as not wood door compatible.
13) I need a classroom function concealed vertical rod device - does the Falcon 25-C do that?
The Falcon 25-C is supplied with lever trim, and the trim choices are the 510L lever, the 510L-BE lever with blank escutcheon, the 510L-NL night latch and the 510L-DT dummy trim. Where the opening is specified for classroom function specifically, the Sargent 12-MD8613 is a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device built in classroom function with a fire rating.
14) What is the less bottom rod option on the Falcon 25-C and should I take it?
Less bottom rod (LBR) deletes the rod and latch at the floor, so the device only latches at the head. Buyers take it where the floor strike is a trip hazard, where carpet or an uneven slab fouls the bottom latch, or in hospitals and schools where debris jams the sill. It is a required choice on the order form, yes or no, so decide before you submit. Keeping the bottom rod gives two-point latching and better security at the sill.
15) What outside trim comes with the Falcon 25-C and what does the night latch option do?
Four trim choices: L lever (510L) for normal keyed or free entry, L-BE lever with a blank escutcheon (510L-BE) where no cylinder is wanted, NL night latch (510L-NL) which is a cylinder only pull that retracts the latch by key with no lever, and DT dummy trim (510L-DT) which is a pull that does nothing but give something to grab. Night latch is the usual pick on a back-of-house or service door where staff key in and nobody else enters.
16) Can I match the Falcon 25-C lever and finish to the other doors in my building?
Five lever styles are offered, Avalon, Dane, Latitude, Quantum and Sutro, across 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. US26D satin chrome and US32D satin stainless are the two that most commonly match existing commercial hardware in an office or school.
17) Is the Falcon 25-C tough enough for a high traffic school or hospital entrance?
It is built for that duty. Grade 1 under ANSI A156.3-2001 is the highest commercial rating for exit devices, and the case is extruded aluminum with a stainless steel push pad cover, which is the surface that takes the abuse. There are no exposed screws or rivets on the back of the device and the end caps are flush, so there is less for someone to pry or pick at.
18) What is the difference between the Falcon 25-C and the Von Duprin 5547 or 7547 concealed vertical rod devices?
Two differences decide it. The Falcon 25-C is a wide stile device with a push pad and lever trim; the Von Duprin 5547-3ft and 7547-3ft are both Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar-style concealed vertical rod devices at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors, and both are non-fire-rated. The Falcon 25-C is ordered fire rated or non rated, so it covers labeled openings that the 5547 and 7547 do not. The Von Duprin 7547 is also noted as not wood door compatible.
19) Is the Sargent MD8613F an equivalent to the Falcon 25-C for a 36 inch metal door with lever trim?
It is a close functional counterpart. The Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM is a Grade 1 heavy duty concealed vertical rod exit device for metal doors at 36 inches by 84 inches with hex dogging and lever trim. The Falcon 25-C is likewise a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device at 36 inches with lever trim, and hex dogging is one of its dogging choices alongside cylinder dogging and less dogging. The Falcon 25-C is a wide stile device with field reversible handing.
20) Which concealed vertical rod device fits a stile width I have not confirmed yet?
The CRL Jackson 1285 push pad concealed vertical rod panic device is specified for narrow, medium or wide stile, so it does not force the stile decision up front - it is an exit-only device with no outside trim. The Falcon 25-C is a wide stile device, so the stile has to be confirmed as wide before it is the right chassis, and it carries lever trim for outside operation.
21) Is a crossbar concealed vertical rod device a substitute for the Falcon 25-C?
The rod arrangement matches but the operating hardware does not. The Corbin Russwin ED7800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts operator trim, and the Von Duprin 5547-3ft is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar device at 36 inches. The Falcon 25-C is a push pad device with a stainless steel push pad cover, so a crossbar changes the touch surface the occupant meets on egress as well as the stile requirement.
22) What is the AX accessible device option on the Falcon 25-C?
AX is a required yes or no choice that specifies the device built to reduced operating force so the push pad takes less effort to release. Facilities working to accessibility requirements specify it; it does not change the door prep or the trim you order alongside it.
