Falcon F-25-V-L-A 3 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to order the Falcon 25-V handed, or is it reversible?
Handing is a required selection, RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse), but the device itself is field reversible, so a unit can be changed in the field without swapping to different hardware. Exit devices are always reverse bevel, which is why the choices read RHR and LHR rather than RH and LH: stand outside the door, and if the hinges are on your right it is RHR.
2) Will the Falcon 25-V latch into strikes that are already on my door and frame?
Plan on using the strikes that come with the device. The 25-V uses a 3788 top strike that is surface applied to the frame head, and a 2130 bottom strike that mortises into the floor. Top latch throw is 3/4 inch and the bottom latch throw is 1/2 inch, so the existing floor prep has to be deep enough and located to match the 2130. Mounting is with standard sheet metal and machine screws.
3) Can I order the Falcon 25-V less bottom rod so I don't have a rod and floor strike at the threshold?
Yes, and there are two ways to do it. LBR removes the bottom rod and latch entirely. LBR-AFL removes the bottom rod but adds an auxiliary fire pin, which is what you want on a fire rated opening where the bottom latching point still has to be addressed for the fire assembly. Going less bottom rod eliminates the 2130 floor strike and the trip hazard and dirt collection that comes with it, which is why it is the common call in schools, kitchens and healthcare corridors.
4) Does the Falcon 25-V exit device come with outside lever trim, or do I order the trim separately?
Lever trim is part of the device as ordered. You pick the function: L is a standard lever (510L), NL is night latch (510L-NL, key retracts the latch, lever is not active), LBE is a lever with a blank escutcheon, and DT is dummy trim (510L-DT, pull only, no latch retraction). Lever style is a separate choice across Avalon, Dane, Latitude, Quantum and Sutro. If you want an exit-only device with no outside trim at all, look at the Sargent 2727 or 3727, or the Arrow S1150, which are exit only.
5) I need the exit device to unlock on a card reader. What electric options does the Falcon 25-V offer?
Three ways to go, and they do different jobs. FSA (fail safe) unlocks the outside lever when power drops, FSE (fail secure) keeps it locked when power drops. Those control the outside trim. MEL, motorized electric latch retraction, pulls the latches themselves back so the door swings free, which is what you use for a door held on free access during business hours or tied to an automatic operator. Add RX if the access control panel needs a request-to-exit signal when someone pushes the pad, and DM or LM latchbolt monitoring if you need to prove the latch is actually thrown. EA is an onboard exit alarm for a door that should not be used routinely.
6) What is the closest alternative to the Falcon 25-V if I need a fire rated wide stile vertical rod device from another brand?
The TownSteel EF9727 is the nearest match: Grade 1, fire rated, wide stile, heavy duty, and wood door compatible. The Adams Rite 3100 Series is the other fire rated wide stile Grade 1 option, rated for 1-3/4 inch doors like the Falcon. If the opening is not a fire door and you only need life safety egress, the Von Duprin 2227, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 and the Adams Rite 8100 Series are Grade 1 wide stile devices without a fire rating. What separates the 25-V from most of these is that lever trim and the electric options come configured on the same device rather than as a separate trim order.
7) The Falcon 25-V is a wide stile device. What do I use on a narrow stile aluminum door instead?
The Falcon 25-V is built for wide stile doors, so a narrow stile leaf calls for a different device. Non-fire-rated narrow stile Grade 1 options include the Von Duprin 3327A, a grooved case narrow stile device for 36 inch doors on 1-3/4 inch thickness; the Von Duprin 7527, a 3 ft narrow stile device for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Corbin Russwin ED4400, a 36 inch narrow stile device; and the TownSteel ED3727 at 36 inch by 84 inch. If the narrow stile opening is fire rated, the Arrow S1150 is a fire rated surface vertical rod device supplied exit only and less trim, listed for narrow or wide stile at 1-3/4 inch.
8) Which surface vertical rod exit devices look like a substitute for the Falcon 25-V but cannot go on a fire rated door?
Several wide stile Grade 1 devices are dimensionally similar but carry no fire rating: the Von Duprin 2227-3FT, a 36 inch non-handed wide stile device for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Corbin Russwin ED5400, a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile device; the TownSteel ED8927, a 36 inch by 84 inch wide stile Grade 1 device; and the BEST Precision 2201, a 36 inch wide stile device. All four are listed with fire rating No, while the Falcon 25-V is fire rated. On a fire rated opening those are not interchangeable with the 25-V regardless of matching size and grade.
9) Can the Falcon 25-V go on a wood door, or only a hollow metal frame?
Frame material is a required selection when you order: ALF for an aluminum frame or WDF for a wood frame. Pick the one that matches the opening, since it determines the frame side prep and fasteners supplied. The device ships with sheet metal and machine screws as standard.
10) How far does the Falcon 25-V exit device stick out from the door face?
Projection is 2-3/4 inches off the door face. That number matters in a tight corridor or where the door swings into a wall or a return, and it also tells you whether the pad clears an adjacent leaf on a pair when both doors are open. Case is extruded aluminum with no exposed screws or rivets on the back and flush end caps.
11) Should I use a surface vertical rod device or a rim device with a mullion on my pair of doors?
A surface vertical rod device like the Falcon 25-V latches at the frame head and at the floor, so it secures a pair of doors with no center mullion, which keeps the full opening clear for carts, gurneys and furniture. That is the reason to choose it. The trade-off is a rod up the door face and a floor strike to maintain, plus the projection of the case at 2-3/4 inches. A rim device with a removable mullion puts all the hardware at one point and is easier to keep in adjustment, but somebody has to pull and store the mullion every time you need the full width. If the floor strike is the objection but you still want no mullion, order the 25-V less bottom rod.
12) I do not need outside lever trim, just egress. What is the simpler alternative to the Falcon 25-V?
The Falcon 25-V carries lever trim for outside operation. If the opening only needs push-to-exit, exit only devices skip the trim entirely: the Sargent 2727 is a reversible Grade 1 fire rated wide stile exit only device, and the Sargent 3727 is a Grade 1 wide stile exit only device with a standard push bar. The Arrow 3700 Series exit bar is a Grade 1 wide stile pushpad device for 1-3/4 inch doors, exit only, with fire rating No. The Orca OED56 is a 36 inch standard duty non-handed exit only device supplied less bottom rod, also fire rating No.
13) What is the difference between the Falcon 25-V and the Von Duprin 2227 for a 36 inch door?
Both are wide stile surface vertical rod exit devices for 36 inch, 1-3/4 inch thick doors and both are ANSI Grade 1. The Falcon 25-V is fire rated, is field reversible, and ships with lever trim on a 2-3/4 inch projection with a 3/4 inch top latch throw and 1/2 inch bottom latch throw. The Von Duprin 2227-3FT is a 22 Series non-handed device listed with fire rating No. The decision usually comes down to whether the opening is part of a fire rated assembly and whether outside lever operation is required.
14) Is there a Grade 2 surface vertical rod exit device instead of the Grade 1 Falcon 25-V?
Yes. The Dexter ED2000 Series is a Grade 2 surface vertical rod panic device, and the TownSteel TS5100 Series is a Grade 2 heavy duty wide stile surface vertical rod device at 36 inch by 84 inch. Both are listed with fire rating No, so neither goes on a fire rated assembly, and both sit at a lower ANSI/BHMA grade than the Falcon 25-V, which is Grade 1 to ANSI A156.3-2001. Grade 2 is generally selected where the opening does not require Grade 1 cycle performance and is not fire rated.
15) My door opening is 33 inches, not 36. What surface vertical rod devices fit instead of the Falcon 25-V?
The Falcon 25-V is a 36 inch device. For a 33 inch leaf, Design Hardware offers the 1000V Series in a 33 inch heavy duty surface vertical rod device and the 2000V Series in a 33 inch standard duty version; both are listed with fire rating No. For 30 inch openings, the Adams Rite 3100 Series is a 30 inch fire rated Grade 1 wide stile device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Adams Rite 8100 Series is a 30 inch Grade 1 wide stile life-safety device with fire rating No.
16) I need a matching dummy device on the inactive leaf of a pair. What pairs with a Falcon 25-V?
The Falcon 25-V lever trim range includes a DT dummy trim option (510L-DT) for the inactive leaf where no latching function is wanted. If a full dummy exit device is required rather than dummy trim, the Sargent 12-8710 is a Grade 1 fire rated wide stile surface vertical rod device in the dummy function, which suits the inactive leaf of a fire rated pair.
17) Which surface vertical rod exit devices go on a wood door rather than aluminum?
The Falcon 25-V offers a WDF wood frame option alongside the ALF aluminum frame option. Among comparable devices, TownSteel lists wood door compatible on the EF9727 fire rated Grade 1 wide stile device, the ED8927 Grade 1 wide stile device, and the ED3727 Grade 1 narrow stile device. The Von Duprin 7527 and 7827 are both listed wood door compatible No, so neither is the choice for a wood leaf.
18) What finishes does the Falcon 25-V come in, so I can match the other doors in my building?
Twelve finishes are available on the 25-V: 313AN dark bronze anodized, 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 628 aluminum anodized, 629 bright stainless, 630 satin stainless and 643E aged bronze. For matching a commercial building already standardized on BHMA finish numbers, 630 satin stainless and 626 satin chrome are the two you will most often be matching to. Lever style is selected separately from Avalon, Dane, Latitude, Quantum and Sutro, so you can match the lever shape on adjacent openings too.
19) What does the AX option on the Falcon 25-V do?
AX is the accessible device option, selected yes or no when you order the 25-V. Choose it where the opening has to meet accessibility operating force requirements, which is the usual call on main entrances and any door on an accessible route in a school, healthcare or government facility. It is a required selection, so you will answer it either way on the order.
20) I need a dummy pull on the inactive leaf to match my active Falcon 25-V. What do I order?
Order the 25-V with DT dummy trim (510L-DT) on the outside. That gives you the same lever style and finish as the active leaf with no latch retraction from outside. Match the lever style and BHMA finish to the active door so the pair reads the same. If you are matching a Sargent opening rather than a Falcon one, the Sargent 12-8710 is the dummy function device in the 8700 Series.
21) Which Dexter surface vertical rod device is the nearest Grade 1 alternative to the Falcon 25-V?
Dexter offers the ED1000 Series as a Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit device and the ED1500 Series as a Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit device listed with fire rating No. Both share the Grade 1 rating with the Falcon 25-V, which is Grade 1 to ANSI A156.3-2001. For a fire rated assembly, look to the fire rated Grade 1 devices such as the Adams Rite 3100 Series or the TownSteel EF9727.
22) I want one surface vertical rod device family I can standardize on across a facility. How do the Grade 1 options compare to the Falcon 25-V?
For a facility mixing fire rated and non-rated openings, the Falcon 25-V covers the fire rated wide stile side at Grade 1 with lever trim, field reversible for either hand, on 1-3/4 inch doors. Among peers, TownSteel spans the range within one brand: the EF9727 is fire rated Grade 1 wide stile heavy duty, the ED8927 is Grade 1 wide stile with fire rating No, and the ED3727 is Grade 1 narrow stile with fire rating No, all at 36 inch by 84 inch and all listed wood door compatible. Corbin Russwin similarly offers the ED5400 wide stile and ED4400 narrow stile, both Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors and both fire rating No.
23) Are there reversible surface vertical rod exit devices other than the Falcon 25-V?
Yes. The Falcon 25-V is field reversible for left or right hand openings. Among peers, the BEST Precision 5201 is a 36 inch reversible surface vertical rod device, the Sargent 2727 is a reversible Grade 1 fire rated wide stile device, the Von Duprin 2227-3FT is non-handed at 36 inch, and the Orca OED56 is a 36 inch non-handed device. The Precision 5201 and the Von Duprin 2227 are both listed with fire rating No.
24) What is the difference between a crossbar and a push pad surface vertical rod device compared to the Falcon 25-V?
The Falcon 25-V is a push style device with lever trim and a 2-3/4 inch projection. The Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a narrow stile crossbar surface vertical rod device, Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors, supplied exit only and accepting operator trim, with fire rating No. Crossbar devices span the door with a horizontal bar rather than a touchpad case, which changes the look of the door face and the actuation feel for the user.
