Falcon F-25-V-EO 3 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon 25-V-EO exit device work on a pair of doors with no center mullion?
Yes. The 25-V-EO is a surface vertical rod device, so it latches at the head and at the floor rather than into a strike on the frame edge. That is what makes it the right choice for a pair of doors without a center mullion, with a device on each leaf. If your opening is a single door in a frame with a jamb to latch into, a rim device is the simpler install. Top engagement is a 3788 surface applied strike; the bottom is a 2130 strike mortised into the floor, so the floor has to be prepped.
2) What door thickness and stile width does the Falcon 25-V-EO need?
It is a single-thickness device: 1-3/4 inch doors only, which is standard commercial thickness. It is also a wide stile device, so it will not suit a narrow stile aluminum storefront leaf. For a narrow stile opening, look at the Von Duprin 3327A or 7527, or the Corbin Russwin ED4400. Allow for 2-3/4 inches of projection off the door face when checking clearance to walls, gates or adjacent leaves.
3) Is the Falcon 25-V exit device fire rated, and can I still get dogging on a fire door?
Yes, the 25-V is fire rated and UL listed for A or B label openings. Dogging is the catch: mechanical dogging holds the latch retracted, which is not permitted on a fire rated assembly, so a fire door should be ordered Less Dogging. Hex and cylinder dogging are offered on the device for non-rated openings. If your opening is not fire rated, dogging is what lets you push the door free during business hours.
4) What is LBR on a Falcon 25-V order, and when should I choose LBR-AFL?
LBR means Less Bottom Rod: the bottom rod and floor strike are deleted, so nothing runs down to the threshold. Contractors pick it where a floor strike cannot be mortised in, on carpet or tile, or where the bottom rod would be a trip and maintenance problem. On a fire rated opening the latching at the bottom still has to be accounted for, which is what LBR-AFL does, adding an auxiliary fire pin. Order LBR-AFL for fire doors going less bottom rod, plain LBR otherwise.
5) Will the Falcon 25-V-EO latches engage my existing top and floor strikes?
Only if they match Falcon's prep. The device throws 3/4 inch at the top latch and 1/2 inch at the bottom, and it is built around the 3788 top strike, which is surface applied to the frame, and the 2130 bottom strike, which mortises into the floor. Replacing another brand's vertical rod device usually means resetting at least the top strike; the floor prep depends on what is already cut in. Measure your existing strike depth against those throws before you commit.
6) Does the 25-V-EO have an outside pull, and how do I get one if I need entry from outside?
Exit only means no exterior trim: the device is push-to-exit from the inside and the outside face is blank, which is the most secure arrangement for a rear or stair door. If you need a key-controlled way in, order the NL-OP function instead, night latch with optional pull, which gives you a cylinder-operated pull on the outside. Both functions are offered on the same device, so the decision is made on the order, not by buying a different series.
7) Can the Falcon 25 Series vertical rod device be electrified for access control?
Yes, and you choose the behavior on the order. FSA is fail safe, unlocking on power loss, which is what fire alarm interface and stair reentry schemes usually call for. FSE is fail secure, staying locked when power drops. Beyond the locking option you can add an RX request to exit switch, DM or LM latchbolt monitoring, MEL motorized electric latch retraction for hands-free openings on a card reader, or EA exit alarm on doors you want to catch unauthorized use. Sort out the fail safe versus fail secure question with whoever owns the life safety drawing before ordering.
8) What other fire rated wide stile vertical rod exit devices could I use instead of the Falcon 25-V?
Staying fire rated and wide stile, the close alternates are the Sargent 2727 (Grade 1, exit only, reversible) and the Sargent 3727 (Grade 1, exit only), the TownSteel EF9727 in a 36 x 84 heavy duty Grade 1 version that is also rated for wood doors, and the Adams Rite 3100 Series in a 30 inch length for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Arrow S1150 is also fire rated, exit only, and covers narrow or wide stile. What rules others out is the rating: the Von Duprin 2227, Corbin Russwin ED5400, Adams Rite 8100 and TownSteel ED8927 are wide stile Grade 1 devices but are not fire rated, so they cannot go on a labeled opening.
9) We need a fire rated vertical rod device for a narrow stile aluminum door instead of a wide stile door. What should we use?
The Falcon 25-V-EO is built for wide stile doors, so it is the wrong profile for a narrow stile aluminum storefront. The Arrow S1150 30 inch fire rated surface vertical rod device is listed for narrow or wide stile and is an exit only, less trim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, which makes it the fire rated option that covers the narrow stile opening.
10) What looks like a drop-in replacement for the Falcon 25-V-EO but is not?
Two traps. The Sargent 12-8710 reads as a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device, but its function is dummy, not exit only, so it will not latch or provide egress the way the Falcon 25-V-EO exit only device does. The Corbin Russwin ED4400 and the TownSteel ED3727 are both Grade 1 36 inch surface vertical rod devices, but both are narrow stile and neither is fire rated, so they miss the Falcon on both stile profile and rating.
11) We need a less bottom rod device to keep the floor clear. Does the Falcon 25-V-EO do that, or is there another option?
The Falcon 25-V-EO can be ordered less bottom rod, including an LBR-AFL version with an auxiliary fire pin for rated openings, which avoids the 2130 bottom strike mortised into the floor. If you want a device supplied that way as standard, the Orca OED56 Series 36 inch device is a standard duty, non-handed, exit only unit listed less bottom rod for 1-3/4 inch doors, though it is not fire rated.
12) Do I have to order the Falcon 25-V-EO handed, or is one unit good for left and right?
One unit covers both. Hand direction on the 25-V-EO is field reversible, so you set it on site. For property managers stocking spares across a building, that means a single part number covers every opening rather than keeping left and right hand units on the shelf.
13) Is the Falcon 25-V rated for a busy school or hospital corridor?
It is certified to ANSI A156.3-2001 Grade 1, the top commercial grade for exit devices, and the case is extruded aluminum. Flush end caps are used so the caps do not get knocked off in abusive traffic, and there are no exposed screws or rivets on the back of the device. For an institutional buyer standardizing across a campus, Grade 1 plus the fire rating covers most rated corridor and stair openings.
14) What size opening does the 3 FT Falcon 25-V cover, and what finishes can I match to my other doors?
The 3 FT device is sized for a 36 inch door leaf. Twelve finishes are offered, and every one is available in both exit only and night latch function: 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 clear and dark anodized aluminum storefront.
15) Can the Falcon 25-V go on a wood door, or only on an aluminum frame?
The frame material option lets you specify ALF for an aluminum frame or WDF for a wood frame, so the strike and fastener package suits what you are mounting into. Sheet metal screws and machine screws come as standard fasteners. If wood is the main concern and you want it spelled out on the spec, the TownSteel EF9727 is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile device listed as wood door compatible.
16) I need a Grade 1 vertical rod device but the door is not fire rated. Is the Falcon 25-V still the right pick?
It will work, but you are paying for a rating you do not need and giving up nothing by going non-rated. Non-rated Grade 1 wide stile options include the Von Duprin 2227 for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED5400, the Adams Rite 8100, the TownSteel ED8927 and the Dexter ED1500. If the opening is lower traffic, the Dexter ED2000 and TownSteel TS5100 are Grade 2 vertical rod devices.
17) The opening is not fire rated. Is there a simpler Grade 1 surface vertical rod device we could use instead of the Falcon 25-V-EO?
Yes. The Falcon 25-V-EO carries a UL A or B label fire rating, which you do not need on a non-rated opening. Grade 1 wide stile alternatives listed as non fire rated include the Von Duprin 2227-3FT, a 36 inch non-handed wide stile device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 wide stile exit only device that accepts trim, and the TownSteel ED8927 in 36 by 84 inch, a Grade 1 wide stile device also listed wood door compatible.
18) Can I substitute a Grade 2 vertical rod device for the Falcon 25-V-EO?
Only where the specification does not call for Grade 1 and the door is not fire rated. The Falcon 25-V-EO is certified to ANSI A156.3-2001 Grade 1 and is fire rated. The Dexter ED2000 Series and the TownSteel TS5100 Series in 36 by 84 inch are both Grade 2 surface vertical rod devices listed as not fire rated, so neither carries the Falcon's grade or rating. On a rated opening or a Grade 1 spec, they are not an equal swap.
19) Our doors are wood rather than hollow metal. Which vertical rod device should we look at instead of the Falcon 25-V-EO?
The Falcon 25-V-EO is ordered with a frame material option for either an aluminum frame or a wood frame. If you want a device whose own record states wood door compatibility, the TownSteel 9700 Series EF9727 in 36 by 84 inch is fire rated, Grade 1, wide stile and listed wood door compatible, and the TownSteel ED8927 is the non fire rated equivalent. By contrast the Von Duprin 7527 and 7827 are both listed as not wood door compatible.
20) We want a crossbar style exit device rather than a push pad. What is the alternative to the Falcon 25-V-EO?
The Falcon 25-V-EO is a push pad style surface vertical rod device. For a crossbar look, the Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile crossbar surface vertical rod device that accepts operator trim and fits 1-3/4 inch doors. Note it is a narrow stile device and is not fire rated, so confirm your opening before swapping.
21) Is there a reversible non-handed alternative to the Falcon 25-V-EO if we stock one device for both hands?
The Falcon 25-V-EO is field reversible, so one unit covers either hand. Peers with the same approach include the BEST Precision 5201 Series 36 inch surface vertical rod device, described as reversible, the Sargent 2727, a reversible Grade 1 fire rated wide stile exit only device, the Von Duprin 2227-3FT 36 inch non-handed Grade 1 device, and the Orca OED56 Series 36 inch non-handed device supplied less bottom rod.
22) How does the Falcon 25-V-EO compare with the Sargent 3727 for a wide stile exit only opening?
Both are Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod devices with an exit only function, so they address the same opening type. The Falcon 25-V-EO is fire rated with a 3/4 inch top latch throw and 1/2 inch bottom latch throw and a 2-3/4 inch projection, and it is field reversible. The Sargent 3727 is a 30 Series device with a standard push bar. Confirm the rating requirement for your door assembly when choosing between them.
23) Are the Adams Rite 8100 and 8200 life-safety devices an alternative to the Falcon 25-V-EO?
They serve a different opening. The Falcon 25-V-EO is fire rated for A or B label assemblies. The Adams Rite 8100 Series 30 inch is a Grade 1 wide stile life-safety surface vertical rod device listed as not fire rated, and the 8200 Series 30 inch is the narrow stile version, also not fire rated. Use them on non-rated life-safety openings; for a rated door the Adams Rite 3100 Series is the fire rated Grade 1 wide stile device in that line.
24) What does the AX option on a Falcon 25 Series order do?
AX specifies the accessible version of the device. It is a yes or no choice on the order, so if the opening has to meet accessibility requirements for the push force and operation of the exit device, call out AX rather than trying to adjust a standard unit later.
