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

1) Will the Falcon 25-V-EO surface vertical rod exit device fit a standard 36 inch commercial door?
The 25-V-EO is the 3 ft size, a 36" device for wide stile doors at 1-3/4" thickness. Thickness is the hard limit here: it is built for 1-3/4" only, so an older 1-3/8" interior leaf or a thicker custom door is the wrong opening for it. Wide stile also means the lock stile has to be deep enough to carry the full case and pushpad, which is normal on hollow metal and wide stile aluminum doors but not on a narrow stile storefront leaf.
2) Can I use Falcon 25-V devices on a pair of doors with no center mullion?
That is exactly the case a surface vertical rod device covers. Each leaf latches at the head and at the floor instead of into a mullion or the opposite door, so an open center pair works with one device per leaf. Plan the prep for both strikes: the 3788 top strike is surface applied to the frame head, and the 2130 bottom strike mortises into the floor under each leaf. Top latch throw is 3/4" and bottom is 1/2".
3) Can the Falcon 25-V be installed without cutting a strike into the floor?
Yes, order it less bottom rod. In the standard build the 2130 bottom strike mortises into the floor and the rod throws 1/2" into it, which means floor prep at every leaf and a strike that collects grit, water and mop debris. The LBR option deletes the bottom rod and that floor prep, so the door latches only at the head into the surface applied 3788 strike with a 3/4" throw. LBR-AFL is the same idea with an auxiliary pin. Less bottom rod is the common call on exterior doors, wet floors, and openings where a floor strike would be a trip point.
4) Does the Falcon 25-V-EO have outside trim, and how do people get back in through the door?
EO stands for exit only, and it ships less trim. There is no lever, no pull and no outside operation at all: the door is free egress from inside and blank on the outside. If someone has to get back in through that leaf, order the same device in the NL-OP night latch with optional pull configuration, which is the version set up for outside key access with a pull. If the opening needs full lever trim, you want a device built to accept it, such as the Corbin Russwin ED5400, a Grade 1 wide stile 36" surface vertical rod that accepts trim.
5) The 25-V-EO is not fire rated - what surface vertical rod exit device should go on a fire rated opening instead?
The Falcon 25-V-EO carries a fire rating of No, so for a labeled opening move to a device that is listed fire rated. Wide stile options: the TownSteel E9F727 is a fire rated, ANSI Grade 1, heavy duty surface vertical rod device for a 36 inch by 84 inch door and is wood door compatible; the Adams Rite 3100 is a 30 inch fire rated Grade 1 wide stile device for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Sargent 2727 is a Grade 1 fire rated reversible exit only device with a wide stile push pad. If the stile width is not settled yet, the Arrow S1150 is a 30 inch fire rated exit only device listed for narrow or wide stile, less trim, on 1-3/4 inch doors. Match device length to the door width when you switch - the fire rated Adams Rite and Arrow devices above are 30 inch, not 36 inch.
6) The 25-V-EO is a wide stile device - what surface vertical rod exit device fits a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
The Falcon 25-V-EO is built for wide stile doors, so on a narrow stile aluminum door go to a device listed narrow stile. The Von Duprin 7527-3ft is a 3 ft 75 Series narrow stile surface vertical rod device, Grade 1, non-fire-rated, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Von Duprin 3327A-3ft is a narrow stile grooved case device for 36 inch doors, also Grade 1, non-fire-rated, 1-3/4 inch. The Corbin Russwin ED4400 is a 36 inch narrow stile Grade 1 device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim, and the TownSteel ED3727 is a 36 inch by 84 inch Grade 1 narrow stile device. For a shorter door, the Adams Rite 8200 is a 30 inch narrow stile life-safety device, Grade 1 and non-fire-rated. Note that the Von Duprin 7527 is listed as not wood door compatible, so it stays on the aluminum or hollow metal opening.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Falcon 25-V-EO 3 FT surface vertical rod exit device from another manufacturer?
The Von Duprin 2227-3FT is the nearest one-for-one: a 36 inch wide stile surface vertical rod exit device, non-handed, Grade 1, non-fire-rated, for 1-3/4 inch doors. That matches the Falcon 25-V-EO on all four of the specs that decide the opening - wide stile, Grade 1, 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and non-fire-rated. Two more wide stile Grade 1 non-fire-rated devices in the same 36 inch length are the Corbin Russwin ED5400 and the TownSteel ED8927, and the Sargent 3727 is a Grade 1 wide stile exit only device as well. One difference to plan for: the Corbin Russwin ED5400 is built to accept trim, while the Falcon 25-V-EO is an exit only device supplied less trim. Strike prep also does not carry across brands - the Falcon uses a 3788 surface applied top strike and a 2130 bottom strike mortised into the floor.
8) The 25-V-EO is exit only and less trim - what do I order if the door needs a lever or pull on the outside?
The Falcon 25-V-EO is an exit only device supplied less trim, and its own answer to outside access is the NL-OP night latch with optional pull function, which is offered across the finish range including 313AN dark bronze anodized and US32D satin stainless steel. If the opening needs full operator trim - a lever that retracts the latch - the Corbin Russwin ED5400 is a 36 inch wide stile Grade 1 device for 1-3/4 inch doors listed as exit only, accepts trim, which keeps the wide stile door prep. On a narrow stile door the Corbin Russwin ED4400 accepts trim, and the Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a narrow stile crossbar device that accepts operator trim. Deciding between night latch and lever trim is worth doing before you order, because the two take different outside preps.
9) Is the Sargent 12-8710 a drop-in substitute for the Falcon 25-V-EO?
No. On paper the two look alike - both are Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod devices - but the Sargent 12-8710 is a dummy function device, meaning the push bar does not operate a latch. The Falcon 25-V-EO is an exit only device with a working latch set, 3/4 inch top latch throw and 1/2 inch bottom latch throw, certified to ANSI A156.3-2001 Grade 1. A dummy belongs on the inactive leaf of a pair or wherever a matching push bar appearance is wanted without latching, not on the egress door you are securing. If you want a Sargent device that actually latches on an egress opening, the 3727 and the 2727 are both Grade 1 wide stile exit only devices.
10) Do I have to specify left or right hand when ordering a Falcon 25-V exit device?
Handing is not part of the order. The 25-V is field reversible, so one device covers a left hand or right hand opening and the hand gets set during installation. For anyone maintaining a building, that means a single part number can sit on the shelf and cover every 36" wide stile 1-3/4" opening in the property regardless of swing.
11) What dogging option should I choose on a Falcon 25-V exit device?
Three choices, and the building decides. Hex dogging is the standard: a hex key holds the pushpad depressed so the door acts as push/pull during business hours and the latches stay retracted. Cylinder dogging does the same thing but takes a keyed cylinder, so only staff carrying that key can dog the door open. Less dogging leaves the device latching at all times, which is the pick when the door must stay secure around the clock or when it is on an assembly that cannot be held retracted. Hex is what most schools and offices order; retail and mixed tenant buildings often go cylinder.
12) Can a Falcon 25-V exit device be tied into an access control or alarm system?
Yes, and the electrical options are chosen at order time. FSA is fail safe and FSE is fail secure, which is the decision about what the door does when power drops: fail safe releases, fail secure stays locked and egress from inside is still free either way. MEL adds motorized electric latch retraction for remote unlocking on a schedule. RX is a request to exit switch that signals the panel the moment the pushpad is pressed. DM and LM latchbolt monitoring switches report whether the latch is actually thrown, which is what you want on a door the security office is watching. EA is a local exit alarm for a door that should not be used casually.
13) How far does the Falcon 25-V exit device project off the face of the door?
Projection is 2-3/4" from the door face. That number matters in two places: the pushpad has to clear anything mounted near the door or on the opposite leaf when the pair closes, and when the door stands open into a corridor the device sits in the opening, so 2-3/4" comes off the clear width you can push a cart or a gurney through. On tight healthcare and school corridors, check it against the clear opening the drawing calls for.
14) What else do I need to order to finish installing a Falcon 25-V-EO?
The device comes less trim, so nothing mounts on the outside face unless you add it. Mounting fasteners are covered: sheet metal screws and machine screws are standard. Strikes are the 3788 at the head, which surface applies to the frame, and the 2130 at the floor, which has to be mortised in, so a floor core or grinder is on the tool list unless you order less bottom rod. Frame material is also a selection, ALF for an aluminum frame or WDF for a wood frame, and it should match what the top strike is actually screwing into.
15) Which surface vertical rod devices are not a real substitute for a Falcon 25-V-EO?
Two traps. The Sargent 12-8710 looks like a matching wide stile device but its function is dummy, meaning it does not latch at all; it is there to match appearance on an inactive leaf, not to secure a door, so it will not replace a working 25-V-EO. The Dexter ED2000 Series is Grade 2 rather than Grade 1, so swapping it in on a spec that calls for Grade 1 will not pass. Narrow stile devices are the other mismatch: they will not span a wide stile door prep.
16) Which surface vertical rod exit devices are stated to be wood door compatible?
Three TownSteel devices carry a wood door compatible listing. The ED8927, a 36 inch by 84 inch Grade 1 wide stile non-fire-rated device, is wood door compatible. The ED3727 is the narrow stile Grade 1 version at the same 36 inch by 84 inch size, also wood door compatible. For a labeled wood opening, the E9F727 is fire rated, Grade 1, heavy duty, wide stile and wood door compatible. Going the other way, the Von Duprin 7527-3ft and 7827-3ft both state wood door compatible: No, so neither belongs on a wood door. The Falcon 25-V-EO is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors, which is the thickness those TownSteel wide stile devices are sized around as well.
17) What is a lighter duty surface vertical rod exit device to use when the drawing does not call for Grade 1?
The Falcon 25-V-EO is certified Grade 1 to ANSI A156.3-2001. Where the spec allows Grade 2, the TownSteel TS5100 is a 36 inch by 84 inch heavy duty Grade 2 wide stile surface vertical rod device, non-fire-rated, and the Dexter ED2000 is a Grade 2 surface vertical rod panic device, also non-fire-rated. Within Design Hardware, the 1000V is the heavy duty 33 inch device and the 2000V is the standard duty 33 inch device, both non-fire-rated. If you want to stay at Grade 1 on a different brand, the Dexter ED1500 and ED1000 are Grade 1 surface vertical rod devices. Check the door width against device length before you switch - the Design Hardware pair is 33 inch, where the Falcon 25-V-EO 3 FT is 36 inch.
18) Do the comparable surface vertical rod exit devices come in the same 36 inch length as the Falcon 25-V-EO 3 FT?
Several do. The Falcon 25-V-EO 3 FT is a 36 inch device. Also at 36 inch: the Von Duprin 2227-3FT and 3327A-3ft, the BEST Precision 2201 and 5201, the Corbin Russwin ED4400, ED5400 and ED7400, the Orca OED56, and the TownSteel ED8927, ED3727, E9F727 and TS5100, all listed at 36 inch by 84 inch. The Von Duprin 7527-3ft and 7827-3ft are 3 ft devices. Shorter devices in the set: the Adams Rite 3100, 8100 and 8200 and the Arrow 3700 and S1150 are 30 inch, and the Design Hardware 1000V and 2000V are 33 inch. Device length has to suit the door width, so a 30 inch or 33 inch device is a different door, not a different flavor of the same one.
19) Which surface vertical rod exit devices can be stocked as one part number for both left and right hand doors?
The Falcon 25-V-EO is field reversible, so a single device covers either hand. Among the alternatives, the Von Duprin 2227-3FT is non-handed, the Orca OED56 is non-handed, the BEST Precision 5201 is reversible, and the Sargent 2727 is reversible. That matters if you are standardizing across a building and want one SKU on the shelf instead of a left and a right. The BEST Precision 2201 and 5201 are both 36 inch devices from the same brand, so a facility already carrying 2201 hardware can look at the 5201 for the reversible version.
20) I want to avoid cutting the floor for a bottom strike - which surface vertical rod device comes configured less bottom rod?
The Orca OED56 is a 36 inch standard duty vertical rod exit device supplied less bottom rod, aluminum finish and non-handed, exit only, for 1-3/4 inch doors. Because there is no bottom rod, there is no floor strike to mortise. The Falcon 25-V-EO latches at both points as standard, with 3/4 inch top latch throw and 1/2 inch bottom latch throw, and its bottom strike is a 2130 that mortises into the floor while the 3788 top strike is surface applied. That floor prep is the piece a less bottom rod device removes, so it is the deciding detail on a slab you do not want cut or on an opening with a threshold in the way.
21) What finishes does the Falcon 25-V come in to match the hardware already in my building?
Twelve finishes, and all twelve are offered in both the exit only and the night latch with optional pull configuration, so a mixed opening set can still match. The list runs 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 steel and US32D satin stainless steel. US26D and US32D are the usual picks for commercial openings; US28 is the one that blends with clear anodized aluminum storefront.
22) Is there a crossbar style surface vertical rod exit device instead of a push pad?
Yes. The Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a crossbar surface vertical rod exit device, Grade 1, narrow stile, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and it accepts operator trim. The Falcon 25-V-EO uses a touch bar with a stainless steel push pad cover and a device back with no exposed screws or rivets, and it is a wide stile device. So the choice between them is two decisions at once, bar style and stile width - a crossbar on a wide stile door is not a swap you can make within these two. If the crossbar look is what the building already runs on, confirm the door stile before ordering the ED7400.
