Falcon 918NL-SP28 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Falcon 918NL 19 Series trim and what does it do on the door?
The 918NL is exterior trim for a Falcon 19 Series exit device: an escutcheon plate with a pull and a lever, keyed night latch function. Outside, a key retracts the latch so someone can pull the door open; without the key the outside is secure and the push bar inside always lets people out. It ships less cylinder, so the cylinder is ordered separately to match your keyway and keying.
2) Do I have to order the Falcon 918NL night latch trim left hand or right hand?
No handing to specify. The lever on the 918NL is field reversible, and it comes set up right hand reverse if you don't call out a hand. A locksmith flips it on site, so one part number covers both swings and you can re-hand it later if the door gets rebuilt rather than buying new trim.
3) Will the 918NL escutcheon cover the old trim holes on my door?
The escutcheon measures 9 3/4 by 2 3/4 inches, which is a full-height plate rather than a rose, so it hides a fair amount of previous prep behind it. The function is built into the trim itself, which is what makes it a practical field retrofit on a door that already has a 19 Series device on it. Match the existing device prep before you commit, since the plate covers surface holes, not a mis-located cylinder bore.
4) What cylinder do I need to buy with the Falcon 918NL trim?
The 918NL comes less cylinder, so you supply a rim-style cylinder in the keyway you're already keyed to. That's the point of the configuration on a multi-building or master-keyed property: the trim doesn't lock you into a factory keyway. If you'd rather not source a cylinder separately, the Design Hardware KIL exit trim comes in a Schlage C keyway version in entry or storeroom function.
5) Night latch or storeroom trim for an exit device on a back door?
Night latch is the right pick when the door is normally locked from outside and staff key in: the key retracts the latch and pulls the door, and it does not stay unlocked. Storeroom trim behaves the same way for security but is a lever that turns after keying rather than a pull assembly. The 918NL is the night latch version. If you want a storeroom lever instead, the Pamex E9000 is a Grade 1 storeroom exit trim, the Tell EDELT80 is a storeroom escutcheon lever trim, and the Marks USA M195F is a storeroom lever with rose. For plain keyed entry, look at the Tell EDELT53.
6) Is there a night latch exit trim equivalent to the Falcon 918NL from another brand?
Several, if you're standardizing on a different device line. The Sargent 704ET is night latch lever trim with field reversible operation, Grade 1 heavy duty, for 700 Series; the 704-ETL is the PE Series night latch with key retract. Corbin Russwin's VT957ET is a nightlatch escutcheon trim in stamped or formed stainless for the ED5000 Series, also less cylinder. Dorma's YR03R is a wide stile nightlatch escutcheon lever trim, less cylinder. Exit trim is device-specific, so match the trim to the exit device brand and series already on the door.
7) Can I put the 918NL trim on a Von Duprin or Precision exit device?
No. The 918NL is 19 Series trim and mounts to Falcon 19 Series device prep. Exit trim is matched to the device family, not universal. For a Von Duprin 22 Series device, the 110MD-NL night latch cylinder assembly is the trim for metal and wood doors; for Precision 2000 Series devices, BEST's 2900 and 4900 Series lever trims are the fit. Check the device model stamped on the chassis before you order trim.
8) The opening needs the lever to stay unlocked during business hours. What should I use instead of a night latch trim?
Night latch trim like the Falcon 918NL is keyed and retracts the latch by key, so it is not the trim for an opening that stays free-entry on a schedule. For always-operable outside trim, a passage function trim is the answer: the Corbin Russwin 3310AET is passage function for the ED300 Series, the x810ET is passage for the ED4000 Series, and the Arrow SRX01 is a passage function Sierra lever with rose for the ED910, S1150 and S1250 devices. If the door should be keyed but with a lever that unlocks entry rather than only retracting the latch, the Tell EDELT53 is an entry function escutcheon lever trim.
9) What trim should I specify if the outside lever needs to stay locked at all times and be released only by key?
That is storeroom function, and it is a different trim from a night latch. The Design Hardware KIL storeroom trim is Grade 1 storeroom function for 1000 and 2000 Series devices with a Schlage C keyway and flat lever. The Pamex E9000 is a Grade 1 storeroom L3 lever trim fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Tell EDELT80 is a storeroom function escutcheon lever trim for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Marks USA M195F is storeroom function with spring loaded roses for M9900 touchbar devices. The Falcon 918NL instead retracts the latch by key from a pull trim with a field reversible lever.
10) Which exit device trims look like a night latch substitute but will not give me key access?
Several trims share the escutcheon-and-lever look with no keyed entry behind it. The Von Duprin 230DT is dummy trim for 22 Series devices with a heavy duty 10 gauge steel escutcheon, and the 210K-BE is a knob with a blank escutcheon, both Grade 1 heavy duty. The Detex 02BN is a dummy S-lever trim with a blank escutcheon for Value Series devices, and the Dexter ED1500T-DUMM-PULL is a Grade 1 dummy function trim with a handle pull plate. Dummy and blank trim is a pull only. The Falcon 918NL is keyed and ships less cylinder so you supply the cylinder.
11) What happens if somebody yanks or forces the lever on the 918NL exit trim?
There's a shear pin in the lever that breaks before the internals do. On an abused opening, a loading dock or a school exterior door, you replace the pin instead of the whole trim. The lever also returns to within 1/2 inch of the door face, so it sits tight and isn't a grab point.
12) I just need a pull on the outside with no key, is the 918NL overkill?
Yes, if nobody needs to get back in through that door. The 918NL is keyed, and you'd be paying for a cylinder prep you'll never use. For exit-only openings, BEST makes exit-only pull trim in wide stile (1700 Series) and narrow stile (2001 with cover plate), and lever versions in the 2901 narrow stile and 4901 wide stile. A dummy trim like the Detex 02BN or Von Duprin 230DT is the option when you want the look of a lever with no function behind it.
13) Can I get the same night latch behavior with access control instead of a key?
Yes, by moving to electrified exit trim. The Command Access ET26 is electrified exit trim with Grade 1 construction and a field reversible design, and the ET15 and ET25 are electrified trims with 12V/24V operation and fail safe or fail secure options; the 230L covers the Von Duprin V96/36/23 series. Dormakaba offers standalone credential trim instead: the E-Plex 201U is an electronic pushbutton exit trim for wide stile doors, and the PowerPlex P201U fits rim, mortise and SVR devices. The Falcon 918NL is a non-electronic mechanical trim.
14) What is a simpler night latch trim option if the opening does not need a lever?
A pull-style night latch trim covers the same key-retracts-latch function without a lever. The Design Hardware 2P-03NL is a pull trim with a cylinder hole and night latch function for the 1000R and 2000R exit devices, listed as Grade 1. The Dexter ED1500T-PULL-NC is a Grade 1 nightlatch function trim with a raised lip pull plate, and the Tell EDPT exit device pull trim has a cylinder hole and ships less cylinder for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Falcon 918NL, by contrast, carries a field reversible lever that returns to within 1/2 inch of the door face.
15) Which night latch trim works with surface vertical rod or mortise exit devices rather than a rim device?
The Sargent 744 is a Grade 1 night latch trim in the 70 Series built for surface vertical rod and mortise devices in the 8700 and 8900 Series, with freewheeling trim and key retracts latch operation. The Sargent 704-ETL is another night latch lever trim with key retract function, Grade 1 heavy duty in the PE Series. Trim is matched to the device chassis, so confirm the device family stamped on the existing hardware before ordering.
16) I need a classroom function trim for a school corridor, not a night latch. What are the options?
Two peers carry classroom function. The Accentra 446F is a Grade 1 classroom function exit device trim with the Augusta lever, and the Dexter ED1000T-CLRM-TP-NC is a Grade 1 ED1000 Series classroom trim in a thumbpiece with pull plate and cylinder configuration, supplied less cylinder like the Falcon 918NL. Classroom function lets a key lock and unlock the outside trim, which is a different key behavior from the 918NL retracting the latch.
17) What finishes does the Falcon 918NL night latch trim come in?
Two: 630 satin stainless and SP313 dark bronze anodized. 630 is the usual match for stainless push bars and aluminum storefront hardware; SP313 pairs with dark bronze anodized aluminum doors and frames, which is what most bronze storefronts are. Pick to match the device, not the door frame paint.
18) Is the Falcon 918NL trim suitable for a high traffic commercial entrance?
It's built for commercial use, not residential: brass finish escutcheon, replaceable shear pin, and a lever that returns tight to the door. On the high-abuse doors in a school or hospital, the shear pin is the part that matters, since it's cheaper to replace a pin than to pull the trim off the door. For a fleet of openings, one part number covers both hands, which keeps the spares shelf simple.
19) Does anything offer a thumbpiece instead of a lever for keyed outside access on an exit device?
The Tell EDTHP53 is a thumbpiece exit device trim with entry function, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Dexter ED1000T-CLRM-TP-NC also uses a thumbpiece with a pull plate. A thumbpiece changes the grip and the door prep compared with the Falcon 918NL, whose lever is field reversible and returns to within 1/2 inch of the door surface.
