Falcon C953 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Falcon C953 rim housing actually do, and does a core come with it?
The C953 is the rim cylinder housing that holds a small format interchangeable core on a Falcon 24/25 Series exit device. It is the shell only, sold less core, so you order the SFIC separately in your keyway and pin count and drop it in. Buying the housing alone is what lets a facility key the device into an existing master system without touching the device itself.
2) Will the Falcon C953 housing fit a Falcon 24 or 25 Series exit device?
Yes, both. The C953 is built for the Falcon 24/25 Series and mounts as a rim housing on that device's trim assembly. It is not a universal part, so if the device on your door is another Falcon family or another brand, this is the wrong housing.
3) Can I rekey a Falcon exit device without replacing the whole device?
That is exactly what the C953 housing is for. With an interchangeable core in the housing, a locksmith pulls the core with a control key and swaps in a new one, so rekeying a building of exit devices is a core change rather than a hardware change. It supports keyed alike and master keyed systems across multiple doors.
4) What do I need to order along with the Falcon C953 to finish the job?
Two things beyond the housing: a small format interchangeable core in the keyway and keying your building already uses, and the finish selection on the housing itself. The housing ships without a core. If the exit device trim is already on the door, no other Falcon parts are needed for the cylinder side.
5) What is the cross-brand equivalent of the Falcon C953 SFIC rim housing?
The closest equivalent is the Arrow 16RCR-27, an SFIC rim housing built to take a 6-pin or 7-pin small format interchangeable core, and carried for the same 24/25 Series exit devices as the Falcon C953. Both are the housing only, with the core supplied separately, so keying is set by whichever core you seat in it. The C953 comes in bright brass US3, satin brass US4, satin bronze US10, dark bronze anodized SP313, matte black US19, satin chrome US26D and satin stainless US32D, so if you are matching existing trim on a door, check the finish call-out before you swap between the two.
6) Can a Von Duprin cylinder dogging kit be used in place of a Falcon C953 rim housing?
No. The Von Duprin 040070/040071 is a cylinder dogging with indicator conversion kit for 36 inch and 48 inch 33A exit devices in the 33/35 Series, and it is a Grade 1 assembly that changes how the device is held down, not a cylinder housing for keyed rim trim. The Falcon C953 is the rim housing that accepts a small format interchangeable core on 24/25 Series devices. If the door needs keyed access through the rim cylinder, the C953 is the part; if a 33A device needs to be dogged by key, that is the Von Duprin kit, and the two are not interchangeable on either device family.
7) Should I use an SFIC housing or a conventional rim cylinder on my exit device?
Go SFIC when you manage a lot of doors or turn over tenants and staff. The interchangeable core lets you rekey in seconds without pulling the trim or the device, which is why schools, hospitals and multi tenant buildings standardize on it. A conventional rim cylinder is the simpler choice for one or two openings that will never be rekeyed on a schedule, since it costs less complexity and needs no control key discipline. The C953 commits the opening to the SFIC path.
8) I need to add cylinder dogging or electric latch retraction to my exit device. Is the C953 the part?
No. The C953 only carries the cylinder core for keyed access; it does not change how the device operates. For cylinder dogging on a Von Duprin 33A, the 040070/040071 conversion kit covers 36 and 48 inch devices with an indicator. For quiet electric latch retraction, the Von Duprin 040061 QEL kit fits 3 foot and 4 foot 33A, 35A, 98 and 99 devices, and the 04116 QELX kit handles AX devices. Those are Von Duprin devices, not Falcon, so start from the device you actually have.
9) If the opening needs electric latch retraction rather than key access, what goes on the device instead of a C953 housing?
Latch retraction is a separate conversion, not a cylinder part. The Von Duprin 040061 is a QEL modular conversion kit that adds quiet electric latch retraction to 3 foot and 4 foot 33A, 35A, 98 and 99 Series devices, and the Von Duprin 04116 QELX kit does the same job on AX devices, with the 041166 covering the QELX baseplate. All of those are conversion kits that change how the latch is pulled back. The Falcon C953 does none of that; it holds a small format interchangeable core so the 24/25 Series device can be keyed and rekeyed. An opening that needs both keyed rim access and remote retraction needs the housing and the retraction kit on their respective device families.
10) Is a top latch replacement the same kind of part as an SFIC rim housing for an exit device?
No, they sit at opposite ends of the device. The Accentra 60-7010-0049-999 top latch is the replacement latching component for 7110 and 7120 devices, and the 60-7010-0050-999 is the same component for the 7110F, both carried as non fire rated. Those parts handle the top rod engagement into the frame. The Falcon C953 is the housing on the trim side that receives a small format interchangeable core, so the key can operate a 24/25 Series device. A device with a worn top latch is not fixed by a cylinder housing, and a rekeying job is not solved by a latch.
11) Is the Falcon C953 rated for commercial door traffic?
It is a commercial part, listed as commercial rather than residential door hardware, and it is intended for exit devices in offices, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi tenant residential and government buildings.
