Falcon F-25-V-L-A 4 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Falcon 25-V exit device fire rated for a fire door assembly?
Yes, the 25-V is a fire rated surface vertical rod device and is UL listed for fire rated openings. That also means it ships without mechanical dogging if you need to stay code compliant on a fire door, so choose Less Dogging for that opening. Hex dogging and cylinder dogging are offered for non-rated applications.
2) Do I have to specify handing on the Falcon 25 Series vertical rod device?
The device itself is field reversible, so it adapts to left or right hand doors without extra parts. You still pick RHR or LHR when ordering so the trim and prep arrive correct for the opening.
3) Can this vertical rod device be used on a pair of doors with no center mullion?
Yes. A surface vertical rod device latches at the head and at the floor rather than into the jamb, so a pair of 25-V devices secures double doors without a mullion. The top 3788 strike is surface applied to the frame head, and the 2130 bottom strike mortises into the floor, so you need floor prep on each leaf unless you order it less bottom rod.
4) What is the difference between LBR and LBR-AFL on the Falcon 25-V?
LBR deletes the bottom rod and latch, which keeps the floor clear of a bottom strike and cuts the maintenance point that gets kicked and bent in high traffic. On a fire rated opening you cannot simply delete the bottom latch, so the LBR-AFL option adds an auxiliary fire pin that holds the leaf at the head under fire conditions. Choose LBR-AFL when the door is rated and you still want no bottom rod.
5) Will the Falcon 25-V latch into my existing strikes?
Only if your prep matches Falcon's. The top latch throws 3/4 inch into a surface applied 3788 strike at the frame head, and the bottom latch throws 1/2 inch into a 2130 strike mortised into the floor. Existing strikes from another brand rarely line up on both throw and location, so plan on installing the supplied strikes.
6) Can the Falcon 25-V be tied into an access control system?
Yes. Electric locking is available as FSA fail safe or FSE fail secure, so the trim either unlocks or stays locked when power drops. You can add an RX request to exit switch, latchbolt monitoring (DM or LM), MEL motorized electric latch retraction for push-to-open or card-in traffic, and EA exit alarm. Specify these at order time; they are factory options, not field kits.
7) What other fire rated Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit devices work on a wide stile door besides the Falcon 25-V?
The Falcon 25-V Series is a Grade 1, UL listed fire rated surface vertical rod device for wide stile doors 1-3/4 inches thick. Two other fire rated wide stile Grade 1 options are the Adams Rite 3100 Series, also rated for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the TownSteel 9700 Series EF9727, a heavy duty wide stile device that is also wood door compatible. All three carry a fire rating, so any of them can be specified on a fire rated door assembly where the opening calls for surface vertical rod hardware.
8) My door is a narrow stile aluminum storefront - what surface vertical rod device should I use instead of the Falcon 25-V?
The Falcon 25-V Series is built for wide stile doors, so a narrow stile aluminum storefront leaf needs a narrow stile device. Narrow stile surface vertical rod options include the Von Duprin 3327A, a Grade 1 grooved case device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Von Duprin 7527 in the 75 Series, the Corbin Russwin ED4400 Grade 1 narrow stile device that accepts trim, and the TownSteel ED3727 Grade 1 narrow stile device. If the storefront opening is also a fire rated assembly, the Arrow S1150 is a fire rated surface vertical rod device listed for narrow or wide stile doors.
9) Which surface vertical rod devices look like a match for the Falcon 25-V but will not give me outside lever operation?
The Falcon 25-V Series is ordered with lever trim, so the outside of the door can be operated by a lever in L, night latch, blank escutcheon or dummy trim configurations. Several similar looking surface vertical rod devices are exit only and will not provide outside lever entry as supplied: the Arrow 3700 Series wide stile pushpad device, the Arrow S1150 fire rated device which is furnished less trim, the Sargent 2727 and Sargent 3727, and the Orca OED56 Series. The Corbin Russwin ED5400 and ED4400 are also exit only but accept trim, and the Corbin Russwin ED7400 accepts operator trim, so those can be built up with outside hardware ordered separately.
10) We are installing on wood doors - does the Falcon 25-V suit that, or is there a better choice?
The Falcon 25-V Series can be ordered with the WDF wood frame option alongside the ALF aluminum frame option, and it is built for 1-3/4 inch doors. Among comparable surface vertical rod devices, the TownSteel EF9727 is both fire rated and listed as wood door compatible, and the TownSteel ED8927 and ED3727 are also wood door compatible though neither carries a fire rating. By contrast the Von Duprin 7527 and 7827 are listed as not wood door compatible.
11) Can I use an Adams Rite 8200 in place of the Falcon 25-V?
Not as a direct swap. The Adams Rite 8200 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile life-safety surface vertical rod device and is not fire rated, while the Falcon 25-V Series is a wide stile device that is UL listed fire rated to ANSI A156.3-2001 Grade 1. If the opening is a wide stile fire rated door, the closer Adams Rite match is the 3100 Series, which is fire rated Grade 1 wide stile for 1-3/4 inch doors.
12) How far does the Falcon 25 Series exit device stick out from the door face?
Projection is 2-3/4 inches off the door face. That matters where the door swings into a corridor with a clear width requirement, or where a door in a tight vestibule could hit an adjacent wall or another leaf when open.
13) Which lever trim function should I order for a classroom or office exterior door?
Four trim functions are offered on the 25-V: L for standard lever entry, NL night latch, LBE lever with blank escutcheon, and DT dummy trim for the inactive or pull-only side. Pick NL where a cylinder should retract the latch for keyed entry, L where you want normal lever operation, and DT where the outside is pull only. Lever styles are Avalon, Dane, Latitude, Quantum and Sutro.
14) Does the Falcon 25-V work on a wood door or only aluminum?
Both. You specify the frame material option at order, ALF for an aluminum frame or WDF for a wood frame, so the correct strike and fastener package comes with the device. Standard fasteners are sheet metal screws and machine screws.
15) Is the Falcon 25-V Grade 1, and what standard does it meet?
Grade 1 under ANSI A156.3-2001, which is the top durability tier for exit devices and the level most institutional and government specs call out for high traffic openings. Combined with the UL listed fire rating, it covers both the life safety and the cycle life side of a typical school or hospital corridor spec.
16) The opening is not fire rated - is there a simpler alternative to the Falcon 25-V lever trim device?
On a non-rated wide stile opening you do not need the fire rated construction of the Falcon 25-V Series. Non-fire-rated wide stile Grade 1 alternatives include the Von Duprin 2227 in the 22 Series for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 which is exit only but accepts trim, the TownSteel ED8927 in the 8900 Series, and the Adams Rite 8100 Series life-safety device. If Grade 2 is acceptable, the TownSteel TS5100 is a heavy duty wide stile Grade 2 device and the Dexter ED2000 Series is a Grade 2 surface vertical rod panic device.
17) I need a matching inactive leaf device to pair with a Falcon 25-V on a fire rated pair of doors - what do I use?
The Falcon 25-V Series itself can be ordered with DT dummy trim, which gives a lever that does not retract the latches for the inactive side of a pair. If you are pairing across brands, the Sargent 12-8710 is a Grade 1 fire rated wide stile surface vertical rod device built as a dummy function, which serves the same role on the inactive leaf of a fire rated pair.
18) The Falcon 25-V is field reversible - which other surface vertical rod devices can be flipped for either hand?
The Falcon 25-V Series is field reversible, so one device covers left hand reverse and right hand reverse openings. Comparable devices that also avoid handing at order time include the BEST Precision 5201 Series, which is reversible, the Von Duprin 2227, which is non-handed, the Sargent 2727, which is reversible, and the Orca OED56 Series, which is non-handed. That matters for property managers stocking spares across a building, since one unit can serve either swing.
19) What finishes does the Falcon 25-V come in for matching other doors in the building?
Twelve finishes are offered: 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 and US32D are the usual choices for matching existing commercial hardware across a fleet of openings.
20) What is the AX accessible device option on the Falcon 25 Series?
AX is a factory option that reduces the operating force needed to push the bar, which matters on openings that have to meet accessible operating force limits. The lever trim on the outside is already the accessible style of handle rather than a knob. Specify AX at order time if your project calls for reduced opening force.
21) What is the difference between the Falcon 25-V and a crossbar style surface vertical rod device?
The Falcon 25-V Series is a touchpad style device with a 2-3/4 inch projection, extruded aluminum construction and no exposed screws or rivets on the back of the device. The Corbin Russwin ED7400 in the ED7000 Series is a crossbar style Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device that accepts operator trim, and the Arrow 3700 Series uses a wide stile pushpad. Crossbar hardware is often chosen where a building is standardizing on an existing crossbar look across its openings.
