Falcon C987 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Falcon C987 mortise cylinder housing come with a core?
No core is included. The C987 is a less-core housing, so you supply the small format interchangeable core separately and have it keyed into your existing system. That is the point of ordering it this way: the building's locksmith or key control shop pins the core to the master key system already in use, then drops it in. Order the housing and the SFIC core as two line items.
2) Will the Falcon C987 housing fit a 24 or 25 Series exit device?
Yes. The C987 is built for Falcon 24 and 25 Series exit devices and their compatible trim assemblies. If the device on the door is another Falcon family, or another brand's device, this is not the housing for it. Check the series stamped on the device chassis or the touchbar end cap before ordering.
3) What does the 1-3/8 inch measurement on the Falcon C987 refer to?
1-3/8 inches is the housing length, the mortise cylinder dimension the device trim is prepped for. Mortise cylinder housings are ordered by that length because it has to match the depth of the prep, not the door thickness. If the trim on your 24/25 Series device takes a different housing length, the C987 is the wrong part.
4) What is the difference between the Falcon C987 mortise cylinder housing and the Arrow 16RCR-27 SFIC rim housing?
Both take a small format interchangeable core and both are catalogued against 24/25 Series exit devices, but they mount to different device types. The Falcon C987 is a mortise cylinder housing with a 1-3/8 inch depth, so it threads into a mortise prep and drives trim through a mortise cylinder cam. The Arrow 16RCR-27 is a rim housing built for 6-pin or 7-pin cores, which seats behind a rim cylinder prep and drives the device with a tailpiece rather than a cam. Confirm which prep is in the door and which cylinder the exit device trim was built to accept before ordering either one, since a rim housing will not fill a mortise pocket and a mortise housing will not sit in a rim prep.
5) I need a 6-pin or 7-pin SFIC housing for a 24/25 Series exit device with a rim cylinder prep - what do I order?
For a rim cylinder prep, the Arrow 16RCR-27 SFIC rim housing is the 24/25 Series part built for 6-pin and 7-pin cores. The Falcon C987 is the mortise counterpart at 1-3/8 inch and belongs in a mortise prep instead. Both are supplied less core, so the core is keyed and ordered separately to the existing master key system either way.
6) Should I use a mortise cylinder housing or a rim cylinder housing on my exit device?
It depends on how the device is keyed, not on preference. A mortise housing like the Falcon C987 threads into trim or a device that is prepped for a mortise cylinder. A device keyed through the rim side, such as cylinder dogging or a rim-cylinder-operated chassis, needs a rim housing instead: the Arrow 16RCR-27 SFIC rim housing is that part in 6/7-pin form. Look at what came out of the device. If it was a threaded cylinder with a cam, you need the mortise housing; a rim cylinder with a tailpiece and back plate means the rim version.
7) Can I convert my Falcon 24/25 Series exit device to interchangeable core keying?
That is exactly what the C987 does. Swapping the standard mortise cylinder for the SFIC housing puts the device on a small format interchangeable core system, so future rekeys are a core pull with a control key rather than a hardware change. For a school or hospital rotating staff keys, that turns a rekey from a service call into a two-minute swap at the door.
8) I need to standardize keying across a building with mixed Falcon and other exit devices. Does the Falcon C987 help?
Yes, on the Falcon 24/25 Series openings. Because the C987 takes a small format interchangeable core, every door fitted with one can carry a core pinned to the same master system, whatever the finish on that opening. Devices from other families need their own housing to reach the same system, and it has to match how that device is keyed, mortise or rim.
9) Can a Von Duprin cylinder dogging conversion kit be used in place of the Falcon C987 cylinder housing?
No - they solve different problems. The Falcon C987 is a 1-3/8 inch SFIC mortise cylinder housing for 24/25 Series exit devices, supplied less core so the core can be keyed into an existing master key system. The Von Duprin 040070/040071 is a cylinder dogging with indicator conversion kit for 36 inch and 48 inch 33A exit devices in the Von Duprin 33/35 Series, which converts how the device is held down rather than providing a cylinder housing for trim. The Von Duprin 040061 QEL kit and the 04116 and 041166 QELX kits are likewise conversion kits, for latch retraction on 33A/35A/98/99 Series and AX devices. None of them are a 24/25 Series cylinder housing.
10) My exit device latch is failing - is the Falcon C987 the replacement part I need?
The Falcon C987 is a cylinder housing, not a latch. It holds the interchangeable core that keys the device trim, so replacing it does nothing for a latch that is not catching. Latch replacement is a separate component: on Accentra devices, for example, the top latch replacement components are the 60-7010-0049-999 for 7110 and 7120 devices and the 60-7010-0050-999 for the 7110F. For a Falcon 24/25 Series device, match the latch part to the device model and check whether the opening is a fire door before selecting, since the two Accentra top latch components above are both non-fire-rated.
11) Is the Falcon C987 housing rated for commercial traffic, or is it a residential part?
Commercial. The C987 is specified for commercial door hardware, and it goes on 24/25 Series exit devices, which are commercial egress hardware. Typical placements are office buildings, schools, healthcare, government facilities, multi-tenant residential, warehouse, and retail.
