Falcon 511L-DAN-US26D-RHR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon 511L trim fit my existing 25 Series exit device without new door prep?
It retrofits all existing Falcon 25 Series trim without additional door prep, and it works on 25 rim, surface vertical rod, mortise, and concealed vertical rod devices. If you already have 25 Series trim on the door, the 511L goes in using the same prep.
2) Do I have to order the Falcon 511L handed?
Yes. The 511L is built either Left Hand Reverse or Right Hand Reverse, so you need to determine the handing of the opening before ordering. Exit device openings are always reverse bevel, so an outswing door with hinges on your left as you stand outside is Left Hand Reverse.
3) Does the Falcon 511L come with a cylinder?
No cylinder is included. The 511L ships less cylinder, so you supply a mortise cylinder in your building's keyway to key the classroom function. That is what makes it easy to bring onto an existing master key system.
4) What does classroom function mean on this exit trim, and is that right for a school corridor door?
Classroom function on the 511L means the outside lever is locked or unlocked by key from the outside. Turn the key one way and the lever stays unlocked for free passage; turn it back and the lever is locked so entry requires a key. Egress is never affected, since the push bar on the inside always retracts the latch. That is the usual choice for classroom and corridor doors where staff control access from the hallway side.
5) How does the clutched lever on the Falcon 511L actually protect the door hardware from vandalism?
Two mechanisms. The lever deflects under load up to 22 ft-lb for a minimum of 10,000 vandal cycles, in both rotation directions, so someone hanging on the lever or wrenching it in either direction does not transfer force into the device. Past that, a shear pin breaks at 70 ft-lb rather than letting the trim or device be destroyed. The pin is replaceable, so recovery after an attack is a small parts swap, not a new trim.
6) Will this Falcon trim work on a Von Duprin or Sargent exit device?
No. The 511L is built for Falcon 25 Series devices. For Von Duprin, the 22 Series takes trim like the 210K-BE knob with blank escutcheon or the 230DT dummy trim. For Sargent, the 704ET is night latch trim for the 700 Series and the 744 fits 8700 and 8900 surface vertical rod and mortise devices. Match the trim to the device family, not just the function.
7) Can I use the Falcon 511L for access control, or do I need an electrified trim?
The Falcon 511L is a mechanical trim - it is listed as non-electronic and works with all electric lock and unlock functions on the 25 Series device, meaning the electrification lives in the device rather than the trim. If the electrification has to sit in the trim itself, the Command Access ET25 is an electrified exit trim with 12V/24V operation and fail safe/fail secure options, and the ET26 adds Grade 1 construction with a field reversible design. The Von Duprin E360L-BE-03 is a Grade 1 electric passage trim with an 03 lever, fail safe, for 33/35A Series devices. Match the trim to the device series on the door.
8) What is the closest classroom function lever escutcheon trim to the Falcon 511L from another brand?
The Accentra 446F is the nearest match by function: it is a classroom function Grade 1 exit device trim with an Augusta lever escutcheon, where the Falcon 511L is a classroom function lever trim with a clutched vandal escutcheon. The difference is the device platform each mounts to - the 511L is built for Falcon 25 Series rim, vertical rod, mortise and concealed devices, while the 446F is made for Accentra 6000 and 1800 Series devices. Confirm which device is already on the door before substituting, since exit trim is not interchangeable across device families.
9) We want the door to stay locked outside at all times with key entry only - is the 511L the right trim?
The Falcon 511L is a classroom function trim, which is built for a teacher to lock and unlock the outside lever by key. For an opening that must stay locked at all times with the key retracting the latch, a nightlatch trim suits better: the Sargent 704ET is a Grade 1 nightlatch lever trim with field reversible operation for 700 Series devices, and the Corbin Russwin VT957ET is a nightlatch escutcheon trim in stamped or formed stainless steel for ED5000 Series devices. For a locked lever that key-unlocks for the period, the Design Hardware KIL storeroom function trim for 1000 and 2000 Series devices is a Grade 1 option with a Schlage C keyway.
10) We want a freewheeling or clutched lever so vandals cannot break the trim - what else does that besides the Falcon 511L?
The Falcon 511L uses a clutched escutcheon with bi-directional vandal resistance and a replaceable shear pin that breaks at 70 ft-lb to protect the unit. The closest alternative built on the same idea is the Sargent 744, a Grade 1 freewheeling trim in the 70 Series where the key retracts the latch, for 8700 and 8900 Series surface vertical rod and mortise devices. Note the function split: the 744 is a nightlatch, while the 511L is classroom function.
11) How big is the escutcheon on the Falcon 511L, and how far does the lever stand off the door?
The escutcheon measures 9-3/4 x 2-3/4 inches and is brass. Levers return to within 1/2 inch of the door face, which keeps the projection tight in corridors and reduces what a vandal can grab or a backpack can catch.
12) What grade is the Falcon 511L vandal trim rated to?
ANSI A156.3 Grade 1, the top commercial rating for exit device trim, and it is a commercial product rather than a residential one. Among comparable trims, Sargent's 704ET and 744, the Von Duprin 230DT, and the Pamex E9000 are also listed Grade 1.
13) Should I specify classroom trim or storeroom trim on an exit device?
Classroom, which is what the Falcon 511L is, lets a key leave the outside lever unlocked so the door can be left open for passing periods and relocked later. Storeroom keeps the outside lever locked at all times and the key only retracts the latch for entry, which is what you want on mechanical rooms and stockrooms. If storeroom is the right function, the Marks USA M195F and the Tell EDELT80 escutcheon lever trim are storeroom function options.
14) We keep replacing broken lever trim on school exterior doors. Is the 511L a fix for that?
That is the case it was built for. Standard lever trim transfers a downward yank straight into the trim and device; the 511L's clutch lets the lever deflect instead, rated to 22 ft-lb for at least 10,000 cycles in both directions, and it keeps working normally after an attack without a maintenance call. When force goes past 70 ft-lb the shear pin gives way first and is replaced cheaply rather than the whole trim. It is used in schools, healthcare, government buildings, and multi-tenant residential for that reason.
15) If the opening does not need classroom function, what is a simpler lever trim option?
For an opening that just needs the lever to always retract the latch, a passage trim removes the keyed classroom control entirely. The Corbin Russwin 3310AET is a passage function trim for ED300 Series rim, surface vertical rod and mortise devices, and the Arrow SRX01 is a passage function Sierra lever with rose for ED910, S1150 and S1250 devices. The Falcon 511L is a classroom function lever trim, so it controls locking from the outside; passage trim does not. Choose by the device series already installed.
16) For a thinner wood door, what escutcheon lever exit trim should I look at alongside the Falcon 511L?
If door thickness is the deciding spec, the Tell EDELT80 storeroom function escutcheon lever trim and the Tell EDELT53 keyed entry escutcheon lever trim both cover 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Pamex E9000 storeroom L3 lever trim covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Falcon 511L differs in intent - it is a classroom function trim with a vandal-resistant clutched escutcheon rated to deflect up to 22 ft-lb for a minimum of 10,000 cycles, which those storeroom and entry trims do not claim.
17) Is a thumbpiece classroom trim like the Dexter ED1000T an equivalent to the Falcon 511L?
They share the classroom function but not the operating hardware. The Dexter ED1000T-CLRM-TP-NC is a Grade 1 classroom trim with a thumbpiece, pull plate and cylinder prep, supplied less cylinder. The Falcon 511L is a lever trim - handle type lever - on a clutched escutcheon, also supplied less cylinder. Lever operation is the ADA-friendlier choice and matches openings where the rest of the building runs levers; a thumbpiece set changes the user motion entirely.
18) Can I put a keypad on the exit device instead of using the Falcon 511L with a cylinder?
Yes, if you want credential entry rather than a key. The Dormakaba E-Plex 201U is an electronic pushbutton exit trim for wide stile doors, and the PowerPlex P201U is exit trim for rim, mortise and surface vertical rod devices. The Falcon 511L is a mechanical, non-electronic lever trim supplied less cylinder, so entry is by key. A keypad trim removes key management but adds the device series compatibility question - confirm it lands on your exit device before ordering.
19) Do I need to order handing for the Falcon 511L the way I would for a field reversible trim?
Yes. The Falcon 511L is ordered by hand - left hand reverse or right hand reverse - along with lever design, Dane or Quantum, and finish in 626 satin chrome or SP313 dark bronze anodized. Some peer trims avoid that: the Sargent 704ET is a nightlatch lever trim with field reversible operation and the Command Access ET26 is described as a field reversible design. If your order is going out before the openings are surveyed, a field reversible trim removes the handing risk, but those two are nightlatch and electrified respectively rather than mechanical classroom.
20) Which lever designs and finishes can I get on the Falcon 511L?
Two lever designs, Dane and Quantum, in two finishes: 626 satin chrome and SP313 dark bronze anodized. Both lever designs are offered in both finishes and in both hands, so you can match the rest of a building's openings on either look.
