Falcon 4188NS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Falcon 4188NS top strike actually do on a vertical rod exit device?
The 4188NS is the upper strike that mounts at the door frame head and gives the top vertical rod something to latch into. Without it in place, a vertical rod device cannot make proper top-latch engagement and the door will not secure at the head. It is a Falcon replacement part sold on its own, so you can restore the latching point without pulling the whole device.
2) Can I replace just the top strike on a vertical rod exit device, or do I need a whole new device?
Just the strike. The 4188NS is intended as a drop-in field service part, so a worn, damaged or missing top strike can be swapped out without replacing the exit device itself. That is the usual call for a property manager or maintenance tech dealing with a door that latches at the bottom but not at the head.
3) Will the Falcon 4188NS work on a rim exit device or a mortise exit device?
No. The 4188NS is specific to vertical rod exit devices, where a rod runs up the door and latches into a strike at the frame head. A rim device latches into a strike on the frame at the lock edge, and a mortise device latches into the frame jamb, so neither uses this part. Confirm you have a vertical rod configuration before ordering.
4) Is the Falcon 4188NS a genuine Falcon part or an aftermarket strike?
Genuine Falcon. The 4188NS is manufactured to Falcon's original specifications as a replacement component for compatible Falcon vertical rod exit device assemblies, so the fit matches what came off the door originally. If you are servicing a Falcon device and want to keep the assembly factory-spec, this is the correct route rather than a generic strike.
5) Do I order anything else with the 4188NS top strike to finish the job?
The 4188NS covers the top strike only. It is listed as an optional component within a complete vertical rod exit device setup, so the rods, device chassis, bottom latching hardware and any trim stay as they are on the door. If the rod itself is bent or the bottom latch is worn, those are separate Falcon parts.
6) Is the Falcon 4188NS strike rated for commercial traffic or is it a light-duty part?
It is a commercial part. The 4188NS is built to commercial door hardware performance standards and is put on openings in schools, hospitals, government buildings, warehouses and multi-tenant properties where exit hardware sees heavy daily use. It is not a residential item.
