Falcon 25-V-EO 4 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon 25-V-EO surface vertical rod exit device work on a pair of doors with no center mullion?
That is exactly what a surface vertical rod device is for. The Falcon 25-V latches at the head and at the floor rather than into a strike on the jamb, so a pair of doors can be secured without a center mullion. The top strike is the 3788, surface applied to the frame head; the bottom strike is the 2130, mortised into the floor. Plan for floor prep on the bottom strike, because that is the piece people forget when they quote the job.
2) Does the Falcon 25-V-EO come with outside trim, and how do people get back in?
It ships less trim. EO means exit only: push the pad from the inside to get out, and there is no outside operating trim at all, so the door is not openable from the outside. If you need key access from outside, order the NL-OP function instead, which is night latch with an optional pull. Both functions are offered across the same twelve finishes.
3) Can the Falcon 25-V be tied into an access control system?
Yes. Electric latch retraction is available as MEL (motorized electric latch retraction) for card reader or push button release, and the device can be ordered FSA fail safe or FSE fail secure depending on what your egress and security plan calls for. For monitoring, add RX (request to exit) to signal that someone pushed the pad, or DM or LM latchbolt monitoring to report whether the latch is actually thrown. EA adds a local exit alarm on a door that should not be used routinely. These are order-time options, not field add-ons, so specify them up front.
4) Will the existing strikes on my door work with a Falcon 25-V, or do I need new ones?
Plan on the strikes that go with the device. The 25-V throws 3/4 inch at the top latch and 1/2 inch at the bottom, and it is set up for the 3788 top strike, which is surface applied to the frame head, and the 2130 bottom strike, which mortises into the floor. A strike left from a rim device on the jamb does nothing for a vertical rod device, and an old floor strike from another brand will rarely match the 1/2 inch bottom throw. Sheet metal screws and machine screws come standard with the device.
5) The Falcon 25-V-EO is not fire rated - what surface vertical rod device should I use on a fire rated opening instead?
The Falcon 25-V-EO carries no fire rating, so a labeled opening needs a fire rated device. Fire rated surface vertical rod options include the Adams Rite 3100, Grade 1 wide stile for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Sargent 2727, Grade 1 wide stile exit only; the TownSteel EF9727 in the 9700 Series, Grade 1 wide stile and wood door compatible; and the Arrow S1150, which fits narrow or wide stile on 1-3/4 inch doors. Fire rated vertical rod devices do not permit dogging, so the hex or cylinder dogging you would specify on a 25-V-EO does not carry over.
6) My aluminum storefront door has a narrow stile - can I use the Falcon 25-V-EO on it?
No. The Falcon 25-V-EO is a wide stile device and needs the wider rail a narrow stile storefront door does not have. For narrow stile surface vertical rod, the Von Duprin 3327A is Grade 1 narrow stile for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Von Duprin 7527 is Grade 1 narrow stile for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED4400 is Grade 1 narrow stile for 1-3/4 inch doors and accepts trim, and the TownSteel ED3727 is Grade 1 narrow stile. The Adams Rite 8200 is narrow stile as well, non-fire-rated Grade 1.
7) The Falcon 25-V-EO is exit only - what do I order if the outside of the door needs a lever or pull to get back in?
The 25-V-EO is supplied less trim with an exit only function, so there is no outside operating trim in the device itself. Peers built to take outside trim include the Corbin Russwin ED5400, Grade 1 wide stile for 1-3/4 inch doors, listed as exit only and accepts trim, and the Corbin Russwin ED7400, a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar device that accepts operator trim. The Corbin Russwin ED4400, Grade 1 narrow stile, also accepts trim.
8) Is the Sargent 12-8710 a substitute for a Falcon 25-V-EO?
No. The Sargent 12-8710 is a dummy function surface vertical rod device, wide stile and Grade 1 - it has the appearance of a panic device but does not latch or release as one. The Falcon 25-V-EO is an exit only panic device with a 3/4 inch top latch throw and a 1/2 inch bottom latch throw providing live egress. A dummy device belongs on the inactive leaf of a pair, not on an egress door. For an operating exit only equivalent, the Sargent 3727 is Grade 1 wide stile exit only.
9) Do I have to worry about handing when I order a Falcon 25 Series vertical rod device?
No. The 25-V is field reversible, so one device covers left hand and right hand openings and you reverse it during installation. That is useful for a property manager or MRO buyer stocking spares: one part number covers every door in the building rather than two.
10) Should I order the Falcon 25-V less bottom rod?
Less bottom rod removes the lower rod and floor latch, so the device latches only at the head. Contractors specify it where the floor prep is a problem: carpet or tile transitions, uneven slabs, or a threshold you do not want to mortise a 2130 strike into. Keep the bottom rod when you want the two point latching a pair of doors normally relies on. Less bottom rod is a required selection on the order, so decide it before you submit.
11) Can the Falcon 25-V be dogged down so the door stays push-open during business hours?
Yes, and you pick how. Hex dogging uses an allen key and is the common choice for a back-of-house or office door. Cylinder dogging takes a key cylinder, so only someone on the keyway can hold the latch retracted, which is what most schools and retail sites want. Less dogging leaves the device latching on every close. Dogging is a required selection when ordering.
12) Is the Falcon 25-V ANSI Grade 1, and what standard is it tested to?
Grade 1, tested to ANSI A156.3-2001, which is the standard for exit devices. Grade 1 is the top durability tier and the level most institutional specs call for on a main egress door. If your spec also requires a fire label, the 25-V will not satisfy it, since this device is not fire rated.
13) What is a comparable wide stile surface vertical rod exit device to the Falcon 25-V?
Staying inside Allegion, the Von Duprin 2227 is the closest match: wide stile, Grade 1, non-fire-rated, 1-3/4 inch doors. Outside that, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 is a wide stile Grade 1 non-rated device that also accepts trim, and the Sargent 3727 is a wide stile Grade 1 exit only device with a standard push bar. The TownSteel ED8927 is a Grade 1 wide stile option and is listed as wood door compatible. If budget drives the call and Grade 2 is acceptable, the Dexter ED2000 and the TownSteel TS5100 are Grade 2 wide stile devices.
14) Which surface vertical rod devices besides the Falcon 25-V-EO can I stock without tracking handing?
The Falcon 25-V-EO is field reversible, so one part covers either hand. Among comparable surface vertical rod devices, the BEST Precision 5201 is reversible, the Sargent 2727 is reversible, the Von Duprin 2227 is non-handed, and the Orca OED56 is non-handed. Those are the peers that let you carry a single SKU across left and right hand openings.
15) I need a surface vertical rod exit device for a wood door - does the Falcon 25-V-EO work or should I look at something else?
For wood door applications, the TownSteel devices call out wood door compatibility directly: the ED8927 is Grade 1 wide stile non-fire-rated and wood door compatible, the EF9727 is Grade 1 wide stile fire rated and wood door compatible, and the ED3727 is Grade 1 narrow stile and wood door compatible. Two Von Duprin narrow stile devices, the 7527 and the 7827, are specified as not wood door compatible, so those are the ones to rule out on a wood leaf.
16) What are the alternatives to the Falcon 25-V-EO if I want a crossbar instead of a push pad?
The Falcon 25-V-EO uses a push pad with a stainless steel push pad cover. If the opening calls for a crossbar style device instead, 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. Among push pad peers, the Arrow 3700 is a Grade 1 wide stile pushpad exit bar, exit only, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Sargent 3727 uses a standard push bar.
17) I want to run a vertical rod device without the bottom rod - what options are there besides the Falcon 25-V-EO?
The Falcon 25-V-EO can be ordered less bottom rod, which keeps the rod and latch off the floor line. The Orca OED56 is also configured less bottom rod - it is a non-fire-rated surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, exit only and non-handed. Removing the bottom rod changes the strike requirement: the 25-V-EO otherwise uses a 3788 surface applied top strike with a 2130 bottom strike mortised into the floor.
18) How does the Adams Rite 8100 compare to the Falcon 25-V-EO?
Both are Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod exit devices without a fire rating, so they address the same class of non-labeled wide stile opening. The Adams Rite 8100 is a life-safety series device. The Falcon 25-V-EO is field reversible and is built with extruded aluminum construction and a 2-3/4 inch projection off the door face, which matters where the device swings past adjacent walls or furniture.
19) How far does the Falcon 25 Series exit device stick out from the door face?
2-3/4 inches of projection. That number matters where the door swings into a corridor with a required clear width, where a wall or column sits close to the open leaf, or where you are stacking hardware and need to know the pad will clear an adjacent door or a push plate. Measure from the door face, not the frame.
20) What finishes does the Falcon 25 Series vertical rod device come in?
Twelve finishes, and both the EO and NL-OP functions are offered in all of them: 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. For matching a run of existing openings, US32D and US28 are the usual commercial defaults, and 313AN is the one that matches dark bronze storefront.
21) What does the AX option add on a Falcon 25 Series exit device?
AX is the accessible device option, ordered as a yes or no on the 25-V. It is the selection to make when the opening has to meet accessibility requirements for operating force on the push pad. It has to be specified at order time; a standard device cannot be converted later.
