Falcon 918DT SP28 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does a dummy trim like the Falcon 918DT actually do on an exit device door?
Nothing mechanically. The 918DT is dummy function, so the lever is fixed decoration on the outside of the door and will not retract the latch. Exit is from the inside push bar only; the outside stays secure and the opening keeps the same lever look as the keyed or passage doors around it. If you need the outside lever to actually open the door, you want a passage or keyed trim instead, not this one.
2) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Falcon 918DT dummy lever trim?
You can, but you don't have to. The lever is field reversible, and if handing isn't specified it ships right hand reverse (RHR). A locksmith can flip it on site to suit the opening.
3) How big is the escutcheon plate on the Falcon 918DT, and will it cover an existing trim cutout?
The escutcheon measures 9 3/4 inches (H) x 2 3/4 inches (W) in brass. That 2 3/4 inch width is what decides whether it covers the old prep on your stile, so measure the existing plate and hole pattern before you commit. Falcon states the function is built into the trim, which is what makes field retrofit and door prep straightforward.
4) Is the Falcon 918DT lever trim tough enough for a school or hospital corridor?
It's rated medium duty and built for commercial use, which suits offices, schools, healthcare, retail and multi-tenant buildings at moderate traffic. A shear pin protects the trim and is easily replaceable if someone forces the fixed lever. For abusive traffic or high-security openings, a heavy duty Grade 1 trim such as the Von Duprin 230DT dummy trim with its 10 gauge steel escutcheon is the sturdier pick.
5) Is there another dummy exit trim with a lever if the Falcon 918DT does not fit my device?
The Detex 02BN is a dummy S-lever trim with a blank escutcheon made for Value Series exit devices. The Dexter ED1500T-DUMM-PULL is also a dummy function trim but uses a handle pull plate rather than a lever. The Falcon 918DT is a lever dummy trim on a 9 3/4 inch by 2 3/4 inch brass escutcheon with the lever returning to within 1/2 inch of the door. Pick by the exit device family you are trimming and whether you want a lever or a pull on the outside.
6) Can I use the Falcon 918DT on a door that needs access control at the trim?
No. The Falcon 918DT is a mechanical, non-electronic dummy trim with no keyed or powered operation. For electrified trim, Command Access offers the ET15, ET25 and ET26 electrified exit trims with 12V/24V operation and fail safe or fail secure options, with the ET26 built to Grade 1 with a field reversible design, plus the 230L electrified trim for V96, 36 and 23 Series. Dormakaba also offers the E-Plex 201U pushbutton exit trim and the PowerPlex P201U for rim, mortise and SVR devices.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Falcon 918DT dummy lever trim from another manufacturer?
The Von Duprin 230DT is the nearest match in intent: it is a dummy trim for 22 Series exit devices with a 10 gauge steel escutcheon, rated heavy duty and Grade 1. The Falcon 918DT is a dummy function trim as well, with a lever handle and a medium duty rating. Both give a non-operating lever or trim face so the door looks the same as the others in the run, but the escutcheon material and device series differ, so confirm which exit device chassis you are trimming before ordering.
8) I need the outside lever to actually retract the latch, not a dummy. What should I order instead of the Falcon 918DT?
The Falcon 918DT is dummy function and is not keyed, so the outside lever does not operate the device. For a working outside lever, options include the Pamex E9000 Grade 1 storeroom trim with L3 lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Tell EDELT80 escutcheon lever trim in storeroom function for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Tell EDELT53 in keyed entry function, or the Design Hardware KIL storeroom trim with a Schlage C keyway and flat lever.
9) Which trim should I use if the opening needs to be locked from outside but openable with a key?
The Falcon 918DT is a dummy and is not keyed, so it cannot do that. Night latch trims are the usual answer: the Sargent 704ET is a heavy duty Grade 1 night latch lever trim with field reversible operation, the Sargent 744 is a Grade 1 freewheeling night latch trim for 8700 and 8900 Series surface vertical rod and mortise devices, the Dorma YR03R is a wide stile night latch escutcheon lever trim supplied less cylinder, and the Corbin Russwin VT957ET is a nightlatch escutcheon trim in stamped or formed stainless steel for ED5000 Series.
10) Does the Falcon 918DT trim take a cylinder or key?
No. The 918DT is a non-keyed dummy trim, so there is no cylinder prep and no cylinder to order with it. If the opening needs key access from outside, look at a nightlatch or entry-function trim rather than this one.
11) How far does the lever stick out from the door on the Falcon 918DT?
All levers return to within 1/2 inch of the door face. That keeps clearance tight in corridors and gives a consistent line with other levers on the same run of doors.
12) I'm standardizing lever look across a building but some doors are keyed from outside. Can I mix the Falcon 918DT with keyed trims?
That's exactly what dummy trim is for. Put the 918DT on the openings that stay exit-only and keyed trim on the doors that need outside access, and the escutcheon-and-lever appearance stays consistent down the corridor. Match the finish across both, choosing from 628 aluminum anodized, 619 satin nickel, or SP313 dark bronze anodized on the Falcon side.
13) What is the difference between a dummy trim like the Falcon 918DT and a passage trim?
A dummy trim is fixed: the Falcon 918DT lever does not move a latch and is there to give the door a matching lever on the outside. A passage trim has a live lever that retracts the latch without a key, such as the Arrow SRX01 Sierra lever with rose, the Corbin Russwin 3310AET for ED300 Series, or the Corbin Russwin x910ET heavy-duty passage trim for ED5200S, ED5200, ED5400 and ED5800 devices. Use dummy where the door is exit-only from the outside and passage where people need to pull the door open from outside at any time.
14) What classroom-function exit trims are available if the 918DT dummy is not the right function?
For classroom function, the Accentra 446F uses the Augusta lever and is Grade 1, and the Dexter ED1000T-CLRM-TP-NC is a Grade 1 classroom trim with thumbpiece and pull plate, supplied less cylinder. The Falcon 918DT is dummy function only. Classroom trims require a cylinder and door prep for it, which a dummy trim does not.
15) The Falcon 918DT is medium duty. What heavier-duty trim should I look at for a high-traffic opening?
The Falcon 918DT is rated medium duty for commercial use. If the opening sees heavier traffic, heavy duty Grade 1 trims include the Von Duprin 230DT dummy trim with 10 gauge steel escutcheon for 22 Series, the Sargent 704-ETL night latch lever trim in the PE Series, and the Corbin Russwin x910ET heavy-duty passage trim. Match the function you need first, then the device series.
16) What entrance-function lever trims compare to the Falcon 918DT for a tenant entry door?
Entrance function trims let the lever operate the device from outside when unlocked, which the dummy Falcon 918DT does not. Delaney offers the 500L in three lever styles for exit device exterior trim in entrance function: CT, MD and SD. Design Hardware offers the LE08 Grade 1 entry function trim with a flat lever and escutcheon for 1000R and 2000R devices, and the KIL entry trim with a Schlage C keyway. Verify the device series before ordering.
17) What finishes does the Falcon 918DT dummy trim come in?
Three: 628 aluminum anodized, 619 satin nickel, and SP313 dark bronze anodized. 628 and SP313 are the usual matches on aluminum storefront and anodized frames; 619 pairs with satin nickel lever hardware elsewhere in the building.
18) Do the Accentra 426F and Falcon 918DT do the same job?
Not quite. The Accentra 426F is an Augusta lever escutcheon trim for 6000 and 1800 Series exit devices. The Falcon 918DT is a dummy function lever trim built around the 2090 Series with a 9 3/4 inch by 2 3/4 inch brass escutcheon. They are both escutcheon-and-lever trims, but they are built for different device families and different functions, so one does not drop in for the other.
