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

1) Will the Falcon 25-V fit a 1-3/4 inch door, and does it work on thinner doors?
It is built for 1-3/4 inch doors only, which is the standard commercial door thickness. A 1-3/8 inch door, common on older interior openings, is outside what the 25-V is set up for. Stile type is wide, so the device needs a wide stile door face to land on.
2) Does the Falcon 25-V secure a pair of doors without a mullion?
Yes. Surface vertical rod devices latch at the head and at the floor rather than into the jamb, so a pair of 25-V devices holds a double door opening with no center mullion. The top latch throws 3/4 inch into a surface applied 3788 strike and the bottom throws 1/2 inch into a 2130 strike mortised into the floor.
3) What strike prep do I need in the frame and floor for the Falcon 25-V?
Two strikes, prepped differently. The 3788 top strike is surface applied to the head frame, so no routing there. The 2130 bottom strike mortises into the floor, which means you need to cut the threshold or slab for it. If the floor cannot be cut, order the device Less Bottom Rod (LBR) and skip the floor strike entirely.
4) Can the Falcon 25-V be electrified for access control?
Yes, several ways. Electric locking is available as FSA fail safe or FSE fail secure on the trim, and MEL motorized electric latch retraction is offered as a device option for tying into a card reader or auto operator. For monitoring, you can add an RX request to exit switch, or DM or LM latchbolt monitoring switches. An EA exit alarm is also available if you need local annunciation on a controlled egress door.
5) Does the Falcon 25-V come with outside trim, or do I order the lever separately?
Lever trim is part of it. You choose the 510L function: L for a standard lever, NL night latch, LBE lever with blank escutcheon, or DT dummy trim for the inactive leaf of a pair. Lever design is picked from Avalon, Dane, Latitude, Quantum, or Sutro, so you can match levers already in the building.
6) What is the closest wide stile surface vertical rod equivalent to the Falcon 25-V if I need a fire rated opening?
The Falcon 25-V Series is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod device that is not fire rated, so it cannot go on a labeled opening. For a fire rated wide stile surface vertical rod at Grade 1, the Adams Rite 3100 Series is fire rated and shares the 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and the TownSteel 9700 Series EF9727 is a fire rated Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile device that is wood door compatible. Sargent's 2727 is also a Grade 1 wide stile exit only device.
7) My door has a narrow stile - what vertical rod device should I use instead of the Falcon 25-V?
The Falcon 25-V Series is built as a wide stile device, so a narrow aluminum stile needs a different chassis. Narrow stile surface vertical rod options include the Von Duprin 3327A and the Von Duprin 7527, both Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED4400 Grade 1 narrow stile that accepts trim, the Adams Rite 8200 Series, and the TownSteel ED3727 Grade 1 narrow stile.
8) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Falcon 25-V?
The device itself is field reversible, so one unit covers either hand. You still pick RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse) on the order because the lever trim is handed. Get the hand of the opening right and the lever will be oriented correctly out of the box.
9) What dogging options are there on the Falcon 25-V, and which should I pick?
Three: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Hex key dogging is the common choice for holding the latches retracted during business hours on a non-rated opening. Cylinder dogging lets staff dog the device with a key instead of an allen wrench, which suits schools and retail where you do not want a loose hex key floating around. Less dogging is for openings where the device must latch at all times.
10) What is the difference between FSA and FSE on the Falcon 25-V lever trim?
It comes down to what happens when power drops. FSA fail safe unlocks the outside lever on power loss, which is what you use where people have to get back in during an alarm. FSE fail secure keeps the outside lever locked when power drops, which is the normal choice for exterior and tenant perimeter doors. Either way the push pad always releases the latches from the inside.
11) How much does the Falcon 25-V stick out from the door face?
Projection is 2-3/4 inches. That matters where the door swings past a wall return, a corridor obstruction, or a second leaf, and it is worth checking against required clear corridor width before the door is prepped.
12) Does the Falcon 25-V meet Grade 1 for a high traffic school or hospital corridor?
It is certified Grade 1 to ANSI A156.3-2001 and built as a commercial device, with extruded aluminum case and a stainless steel push pad cover. Grade 1 is the top durability tier in that standard and is what most institutional specs call for on high traffic egress doors.
13) Will the Falcon 25-V mount on a wood frame, or only aluminum?
Both. You pick ALF for an aluminum frame or WDF for a wood frame when ordering, which sets the fastener package for the strike and mounting. Sheet metal screws and machine screws are standard with the device.
14) What is the closest equivalent to the Falcon 25-V from another brand?
For a Grade 1 non-rated wide stile surface vertical rod on a 1-3/4 inch door, the Von Duprin 2227 and the Corbin Russwin ED5400 are the nearest matches on spec. Difference to watch: the 25-V ships with lever trim, while the ED5400 is listed as exit only that accepts trim, so trim is a separate line on that one. TownSteel's ED8927 is another Grade 1 wide stile option and is listed as wood door compatible.
15) My floor is uneven and the bottom rod keeps dragging. What should I order?
Order the 25-V with the LBR less bottom rod option. That removes the bottom rod and floor strike, so the device latches only at the head and nothing rides the floor. There is also LBR-AFL, less bottom rod with an auxiliary fire pin. Keep in mind removing the bottom rod reduces the two point latching that a surface vertical rod normally gives you at 3/4 inch top and 1/2 inch bottom throw.
16) I want the door to stay locked outside but free to exit, with key access. Which Falcon 25-V trim function?
Choose the NL night latch function (510L-NL). It keeps the outside lever rigid and opens only with a key, while the push pad always allows free egress from inside. If you want a lever that retracts the latch from outside during the day, take the standard L function instead; for an inactive leaf that needs a lever for appearance only, DT dummy trim is the one.
17) I do not need outside lever trim - is there a simpler vertical rod device than the Falcon 25-V?
The Falcon 25-V configured here carries 510L lever trim with Lever, Night Latch, Blank Escutcheon and Dummy Trim functions. If the outside face never needs to be entered, exit only devices skip the trim entirely: the Arrow 3700 Series is an exit only wide stile pushpad device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Sargent 3727 is a Grade 1 wide stile exit only device with a push bar, and the Orca OED56 is a standard duty exit only vertical rod for 1-3/4 inch doors supplied less bottom rod.
18) Is a Grade 2 vertical rod device an acceptable substitute for the Falcon 25-V?
They are not the same performance tier. The Falcon 25-V Series is certified to ANSI A156.3-2001 Grade 1, which is what most commercial and institutional specs call for on high traffic egress doors. The Dexter ED2000 Series and the TownSteel TS5100 Series are Grade 2 surface vertical rod devices, both non-rated, with the TS5100 in a heavy duty wide stile format. If the drawing calls out Grade 1, stay with a Grade 1 device such as the Dexter ED1500 Series.
19) I need a reversible vertical rod device - how does the Falcon 25-V compare to non-handed options?
The Falcon 25-V Series is field reversible, so one device covers RHR or LHR openings, and handing is selected at order. Non-handed and reversible peers include the Von Duprin 2227, a non-handed Grade 1 wide stile device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the BEST Precision 5201 Series reversible surface vertical rod, and the Orca OED56, a non-handed standard duty device.
20) The Falcon 25-V is a 48 inch device - what should I look at for a 36 inch or 30 inch door?
The Falcon 25-V covered here is sized at 48 inches for wide stile openings. For narrower leaves, wide stile surface vertical rod devices in the 30 to 36 inch range include the Adams Rite 8100 Series at 30 inches, the Arrow 3700 Series at 30 inches, the BEST Precision 2201 Series at 36 inches, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 at 36 inches, and the Von Duprin 2227 for 36 inch doors.
21) Is the Falcon 25-V suitable for a wood door, or should I choose something else?
The Falcon 25-V Series is ordered with a frame material option for either an aluminum frame or a wood frame, and it covers 1-3/4 inch doors. If you want a peer specifically listed as wood door compatible, the TownSteel ED8927 and the fire rated TownSteel EF9727 are both Grade 1 wide stile devices listed as wood door compatible. The Von Duprin 7527 and 7827 are listed as not wood door compatible.
22) Which alternatives offer hex key dogging like the Falcon 25-V?
The Falcon 25-V Series is ordered with hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Among wide stile Grade 1 peers, the Von Duprin 7827 is specified with hex key dogging for 1-3/4 inch doors. Note that dogging is not permitted on fire rated openings, so fire rated devices such as the Adams Rite 3100 Series and the TownSteel EF9727 are the wrong path if mechanical dogging is the requirement.
23) What is the AX option on the Falcon 25-V?
AX is the accessible device option, ordered as a yes or no choice. It is the selection to make when the opening has to meet reduced operating force requirements for accessible egress, rather than something you add later in the field.
24) What finishes does the Falcon 25-V come in for matching existing hardware?
Twelve: 313AN dark bronze anodized, 643E aged bronze, US10 satin bronze, US15 satin nickel, US19 matte black, US26 bright chrome, US26D satin chrome, US28 aluminum anodized, US3 bright brass, US32 bright stainless, US32D satin stainless, and US4 satin brass. US26D and US32D are the usual matches on commercial buildings, and US28 is the common pairing with aluminum storefront.
25) What is the difference between the Falcon 25-V push pad device and a crossbar vertical rod device?
The Falcon 25-V Series uses a stainless steel push pad cover on an extruded aluminum case with flush end caps and no exposed screws on the back of the device. A crossbar device puts a horizontal bar across the door face 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. Crossbar styling is often chosen to match existing hardware on adjacent openings.
26) For a lighter traffic door, is there a standard duty alternative to the Falcon 25-V?
The Falcon 25-V Series is a Grade 1 device built for continual use in high traffic commercial settings. Where traffic is lighter, standard duty surface vertical rod devices include the Design Hardware 2000V Series at 33 inches and the Orca OED56 Series at 36 inches, both non-rated. Design Hardware also offers the 1000V Series as a heavy duty non-rated device at 33 inches if you want more robustness without moving to a different stile format.
