Falcon F24R-EO 3 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What door thickness does the Falcon F-24-R-EO fit?
One thickness only: 1-3/4 inches, which is the standard commercial door. It is not a range device, so a 2-inch or 2-1/4-inch door is out. If you're working a thicker aluminum door, the Adams Rite 8800 Series narrow stile rim device covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches, though that one is not fire rated.
2) Is the Falcon 24 Series rim device fire rated for a labeled opening?
Yes. The F-24-R-EO carries a UL listed A or B label fire rating and meets ANSI A156.3-2001 Grade 1. On a labeled opening you also can't use mechanical dogging, so order it Less Dogging for fire door service. The device ships with a 299F strike as standard, which is the fire strike for the series.
3) Does the Falcon F-24-R-EO exit only device have any outside trim or lever?
None. It's an exit-only device, supplied less trim, so there is no outside pull, lever, or cylinder. Push from inside to get out, and from the outside the door is simply locked with no key access. If you need someone to get back in through that door, you need a device that accepts trim instead, for example the Corbin Russwin ED4200 narrow stile rim device, which is listed as exit only or accepts trim.
4) Will a rim exit device latch into the strike I already have on the frame?
Plan on using the strike that comes with it. The Falcon 24 Series rim device latches with a 3/4 inch throw against a 299F surface strike, supplied as standard. A rim device latches into a strike mounted on the frame stop, not into a mortise pocket, so an existing mortise lock or deadlatch prep on the frame won't accept it. Budget for frame strike prep on the retrofit.
5) What options do I have to pick when ordering the Falcon F-24-R-EO?
Four decisions. Dogging: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging (less dogging is the choice for a fire-rated opening). RX request-to-exit switch: yes or no, which is what your access control panel needs to see the pushpad being used. Device option: none, MEL motorized electric latch retraction, or EA exit alarm. Finish is 625 bright chrome, and length is the 36 inch device.
6) Can I dog a Falcon 24 Series exit device open during business hours?
Only on a non-fire opening. Hex dogging and cylinder dogging are both offered on the 24 Series, and cylinder dogging is what you want where you don't want maintenance staff with a hex key deciding when the door is held retracted. On a labeled fire door, order it less dogging; mechanical dogging is not allowed on fire-rated exit hardware. If you need the latch held back electrically instead, the MEL motorized electric latch retraction option does that under access control.
7) What 36 inch fire-rated rim exit device can replace a Falcon 24-R-EO on a hollow metal door?
Two 36 inch fire-rated rim devices cover the same opening. The Marks USA M9900F is a fire-rated 36 inch rim exit device in exit only function with a panic protector end cap, and the Orca Hardware OED85 Series is a 36 inch fire-rated rim exit device, also exit only. Both are listed as not wood door compatible, matching the Falcon 24-R-EO, so they suit metal and aluminum doors. Neither is narrow stile the way the Falcon 24-R-EO is, so check the stile width on an aluminum storefront door before swapping.
8) What is the closest fire-rated narrow stile rim exit device to the Falcon 24-R-EO?
The Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch fire-rated narrow stile rim exit device is the closest match on the points that matter for a fire opening: it is fire rated, Grade 1, and narrow stile, the same three attributes the Falcon 24-R-EO carries. The Adams Rite 3700 is listed as wood door compatible, while the Falcon 24-R-EO is not, so on a wood fire door the 3700 is the one that applies. The Falcon 24-R-EO is 36 inches and the Adams Rite 3700 is 30 inches, so confirm the device length against your door width before ordering.
9) Is the Dexter ED1000 a substitute for the Falcon 24-R-EO?
Only the fire-rated version of it. Dexter offers the ED1000 Series as a Grade 1 fire rated rim exit device, and that one shares the fire rating and Grade 1 level with the Falcon 24-R-EO. The 3FT and 4FT Dexter ED1000 rim devices are Grade 1 but are listed as not fire rated, so they do not belong on a labeled door. If the opening is a fire door, order the fire-rated ED1000 rather than the 3FT catalog number.
10) Can I use an SDC pressure sense bar or switch bar in place of a Falcon 24-R-EO rim exit device?
No. The SDC PSB560 Series 36 inch pressure sense bar and the SDC MSB550 Series 36 inch mechanical switch bar release an electromagnetic lock rather than throwing a latch of their own; both are listed as not fire rated. The Falcon 24-R-EO is a mechanical rim exit device with a 3/4 inch latch throw that latches into a 299F strike and carries a fire rating. They look alike on the door and fit narrow or wide stile, but a switch bar cannot stand in for latching hardware on a labeled fire door.
11) What fire-rated exit device comes ready for electric latch retraction and request to exit like the Falcon 24-R-EO options?
The Sargent 12-8810 is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device supplied with RX and MELR. The Falcon 24-R-EO is fire rated and Grade 1 as well, in narrow stile, and can be ordered with a request to exit switch and with motorized electric latch retraction. The Sargent is wide stile, so on an aluminum storefront stile the narrow stile Falcon is the one that fits the rail.
12) How much room does a Falcon 24 rim exit device take up off the face of the door?
Projection is 2-3/4 inches from the door face. That matters in a vestibule or a tight return where a door swings back toward a wall or against a second leaf, and it matters for the clear egress width when the pushpad is depressed. The latchbolt throws 3/4 inch into the strike.
13) Do I have to specify handing when I order a Falcon 24 rim exit device?
No handing required. The 24 Series rim device is non-handed, so one part covers left hand and right hand reverse openings alike. For a property manager stocking spares across a building, that means a single shelf item for every 1-3/4 inch aluminum door on the same hardware set.
14) Should I use a narrow stile or a wide stile rim exit device?
Go by the door. Narrow stile, like the Falcon 24 Series, is for aluminum storefront and entrance doors where the vertical stile is too slim to take a wide pushpad chassis. Wide stile devices need a broader rail to land on, and they're the normal choice on hollow metal doors. Wide stile Grade 1 alternatives in the same 36 inch size include the Von Duprin 22-3FT and the Corbin Russwin ED5200.
15) I need to know when someone uses the exit door. Can the Falcon 24 tell my access control system?
Two ways, and they do different things. The RX request-to-exit switch signals your panel the moment the pushpad is pressed, which is how you shunt an alarm or log legitimate egress. The EA exit alarm option is a local sounder at the device itself, for a door you want people to hear being opened. Both are order-time options on the F-24-R-EO, along with MEL for electric latch retraction.
16) Does a 36 inch exit device mean it fits a 36 inch door?
The 36 inch figure is the device length, quoted as the 3FT size. Exit device sizes are called out by the bar length and are selected against the door width, so confirm the door leaf width against the device length before ordering. Falcon's model designation on this one is 24-R-EO-3FT.
17) Is Grade 1 necessary, or will a Grade 2 exit device hold up in my building?
Grade 1 is the highest ANSI/BHMA operational grade and is what specifications call for on high-traffic commercial and institutional egress. The Falcon 24 Series is Grade 1 to ANSI A156.3-2001 with extruded aluminum construction. If the opening is lighter duty and not a labeled fire door, Cal-Royal's 5000 Series 36 inch rim device is a Grade 2 chassis heavy duty alternative. On a labeled fire opening, that trade doesn't exist, since the Cal-Royal is not fire rated.
18) What is the difference between the Adams Rite 3700 and the 8700 or 8800 narrow stile rim devices?
Fire rating is the dividing line. The Adams Rite 3700 Series is fire rated; the 8700 Series and 8800 Series are not. All three are Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit devices. The 8700 is listed as wood door compatible and the 8800 is not, and the 8800 covers a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. For the labeled openings the Falcon 24-R-EO is specified into, the 3700 is the Adams Rite counterpart.
19) What should I use instead of a rim exit device on a pair of doors with no mullion?
A vertical rod device latches top and bottom instead of into a strike on the frame or mullion. The Hager 4601 Series is a 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod narrow stile exit device, and the Hager 4501 Series is the 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod version with a wide stile pushpad. Both are listed as not fire rated. The Falcon 24-R-EO is a rim device latching into a 299F strike, so it needs a mullion or a single door opening.
20) What rim exit device works on a wide stile aluminum or hollow metal door where the Falcon 24-R-EO narrow stile will not fit?
The Von Duprin 22-3FT is a 36 inch wide stile pushpad rim exit device, non-handed and Grade 1, for 1-3/4 inch doors, which is the same door thickness the Falcon 24-R-EO is built for. The Corbin Russwin ED2200 is another 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile rim device in exit only. Both are listed as not fire rated, so on a labeled opening a wide stile fire-rated option such as the Sargent 12-8810 or the Marks USA M9900F applies instead.
21) Is the Arrow 4800 Series a direct replacement for a Falcon 24-R-EO?
On a non-rated opening, close. The Arrow 4800 Series is a 36 inch narrow stile rim exit device in exit only function for 1-3/4 inch doors, matching the Falcon 24-R-EO on length, stile, function and door thickness. It is listed as not fire rated, so it does not cover the labeled fire door the Falcon 24-R-EO is intended for. The Arrow ED910 is also a 36 inch rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors and likewise not fire rated.
22) Which narrow stile rim device carries a higher duty rating than Grade 1 for an abused entrance?
The Detex 40 Advantex Series is a narrow stile rim exit device rated extra heavy duty at Grade 1, above the heavy duty level of narrow stile devices such as the TownSteel ED8900 and the Stanley QED200. The Falcon 24-R-EO is Grade 1 and fire rated with a stainless steel push pad cover and flush end caps for abusive conditions. If the door carries a fire label, verify the label rating of any Detex option before substituting.
23) Do the Cal-Royal 5000 and A9800 rim exit devices meet the same grade as the Falcon 24-R-EO?
No. The Cal-Royal 5000 and 5500, and the A9800 and A9820, are all listed at Grade 2 in heavy duty, while the Falcon 24-R-EO is ANSI A156.3 Grade 1. All four Cal-Royal devices are listed as not fire rated. Where a spec calls for Grade 1 on a labeled door, those four do not answer it.
24) Is the Sargent 8504 a substitute for a Falcon 24-R-EO exit only device?
Not on function. The Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device in night latch function, meaning outside key access retracts the latch, while the Falcon 24-R-EO is exit only and ships less trim. They share the narrow stile format and Grade 1 level. If the opening needs outside entry, the night latch 8504 is the device; if egress only is wanted, the Falcon 24-R-EO answers it.
25) Will the mounting screws show on the inside of the door after install?
No exposed screws or rivets on the back of the device, and all mounting screws are concealed. The pushpad cover is stainless steel and the end caps are flush type, which is the detail that keeps them from getting knocked off in an abusive corridor or a school. Worth knowing on a glass storefront entrance where the inside face of the door is on full view.
26) What finish does the Falcon F-24-R-EO come in?
625 bright chrome. If you're matching it to other openings in the building, bright chrome reads as polished, so it will sit alongside existing polished chrome pulls and closers rather than satin. There's one finish on the 24 R series exit only device, so there's no finish decision to make on the order.
