Falcon F-24-V-EO 3 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Falcon 24-V be used on a fire rated door opening?
Yes. The Falcon 24-V is fire rated and UL listed as a panic exit device carrying an A or B label rating, and it is ANSI A156.3-2001 Grade 1. Note that fire rated openings do not permit mechanical dogging, so if you add the dogging option it is for a non-rated opening.
2) Does the Falcon 24-V exit only device have an outside lever or pull?
No. The EO configuration is exit only with no trim, meaning the door is locked from outside with no way in. If you need outside access, order the NL-OP night latch function with an optional pull, which lets a key retract the latch from the outside.
3) Will a Falcon 24-V vertical rod device secure a pair of doors without a mullion?
Yes. A surface vertical rod device latches at the head and at the floor rather than into the frame jamb, so a pair of doors can be secured with no center mullion. The top latch throws 3/4 inch into a 3788 surface applied top strike and the bottom latch throws 1/2 inch into a 2130 strike mortised into the floor. If you want a rim device instead, you would need a removable mullion between the leaves.
4) What options do I need to specify when ordering the Falcon 24-V?
Pick a finish and a function (EO exit only or NL-OP night latch with optional pull) first. Then decide on the add-ons: less bottom rod, RX request to exit switch, and dogging. There is also a device option choice of none, MEL motorized electric latch retraction, or EA exit alarm. Trim is not included, so if you go NL-OP you order the pull separately.
5) What is the closest fire rated alternative to the Falcon 24-V-EO surface vertical rod exit device?
The Falcon 24-V-EO is a Grade 1 fire rated surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors in a narrow stile configuration. The closest fire rated peers are the Arrow S1150 in a 30 inch exit only, less trim version, which is fire rated and fits 1-3/4 inch doors and is offered for narrow or wide stile; the Adams Rite 3100 Series 30 inch, which is Grade 1 fire rated for 1-3/4 inch doors but wide stile; and the TownSteel 9700 Series EF9727 at 36 by 84 inches, a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty wide stile device that is wood door compatible. If the opening is a narrow stile aluminum storefront, the Arrow S1150 is the nearest match on stile; if it is a 36 inch wood or hollow metal door, the TownSteel EF9727 covers it.
6) I need a narrow stile vertical rod device for a 36 inch storefront door but the opening is not fire rated. What are my options besides the Falcon 24-V-EO?
The Falcon 24-V-EO is fire rated, which is more than a non-rated storefront opening requires. Non-rated Grade 1 narrow stile devices sized for 36 inch doors include the Corbin Russwin ED4400 for 1-3/4 inch doors, which is exit only and accepts trim; the Corbin Russwin ED7400, a narrow stile crossbar device that accepts operator trim; the Von Duprin 3327A-3ft with a grooved case for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Von Duprin 7527-3ft in the 75 Series; and the TownSteel ED3727 at 36 by 84 inches, which is also wood door compatible. The Adams Rite 8200 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile life-safety device in a 30 inch length.
7) The Falcon 24-V-EO is exit only with no trim. What should I order instead if the door needs outside trim or a lever?
The Falcon 24-V-EO ships less trim in an exit only function, so there is no outside operation. For openings that need an outside trim, the Corbin Russwin ED4400 is a Grade 1 narrow stile device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim, and the Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a narrow stile crossbar device that accepts operator trim. The ED5400 is the wide stile Grade 1 equivalent that accepts trim. Note that these three are not fire rated, so if the opening carries a label, stay with a rated device. The Falcon 24 Series itself is also offered in a night latch optional pull function if outside key retraction with a pull is all you need.
8) My door is a wide stile aluminum or hollow metal leaf, not narrow stile. What replaces the Falcon 24-V-EO?
The Falcon 24-V-EO is built as a narrow stile device, so on a wide stile leaf you want a device designed for that rail. Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod options include the Von Duprin 2227-3FT, a 36 inch non-handed device for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Sargent 3727 with a standard push bar in the 30 Series; the Sargent 2727, a reversible Grade 1 fire rated device in the 20 Series; the Corbin Russwin ED5400 for 1-3/4 inch doors; and the TownSteel ED8927 at 36 by 84 inches, which is wood door compatible. If the opening is labeled, the Sargent 2727 and the Adams Rite 3100 Series are the fire rated wide stile choices.
9) Which surface vertical rod devices look like a match for the Falcon 24-V-EO but should not be substituted for it?
Two traps. The Sargent 12-8710 in the 8700 Series is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device, but its function is dummy, so it provides no latching egress and cannot stand in for the Falcon 24-V-EO's exit only function. The Adams Rite 8100 and 8200 Series are Grade 1 life-safety surface vertical rod devices, but neither carries a fire rating, so they are not a drop-in on a labeled opening the way the Falcon 24 is. Match on three things before ordering: fire rating, stile type, and whether the device latches or is a dummy.
10) What is the difference between the Falcon 24-V-EO and the Von Duprin 7827-3ft or 7527-3ft for a 3 foot door?
All three are Grade 1 surface vertical rod devices sized for 36 inch doors at 1-3/4 inch thickness. The Falcon 24-V-EO is fire rated, uses a stainless steel push pad with concealed mounting screws, and carries a 2-3/4 inch projection with a 3/4 inch top latch throw and 1/2 inch bottom throw. The Von Duprin 7527-3ft is a 75 Series narrow stile device and the 7827-3ft is a 78 Series narrow stile device with hex key dogging; neither is fire rated and neither is wood door compatible. If the opening carries a label, the Falcon 24-V-EO is the one of the three that suits it.
11) What is the less bottom rod option on a vertical rod exit device and when should I use it?
Less bottom rod removes the lower rod and floor strike, so the device latches only at the head. It is the usual call where the floor strike is a trip hazard, where carpet or an uneven threshold fouls the bottom latch, or in wet and dirty openings. Ordered with the bottom rod, the Falcon 24-V uses a 2130 bottom strike mortised into the floor and a 1/2 inch bottom latch throw.
12) Can I tie the Falcon 24-V into an access control system?
Yes. Two electrified options are available: RX, a request to exit switch that signals the access control panel when someone pushes the pad, and MEL, motorized electric latch retraction for remote unlatching or scheduled free entry. An EA exit alarm is also offered for doors you want monitored locally.
13) What is the difference between the Falcon 24-V and a Von Duprin narrow stile vertical rod device?
Both are Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod devices for 1-3/4 inch doors. The split is fire rating: the Falcon 24-V is fire rated, while the Von Duprin 3327A, 7527 and 7827 are not, so those are life safety and non-rated openings only. The 7527 and 7827 are also listed as not compatible with wood doors.
14) Is the Falcon 24-V tough enough for a high traffic school or retail entrance?
It is ANSI A156.3-2001 Grade 1, the heavy duty commercial rating, with an extruded aluminum chassis and a stainless steel push pad cover that resists scratching. Flush end caps reduce the chance of the cap being knocked off in abusive use, and all mounting screws are concealed so there is nothing exposed to pick at.
15) The Falcon 24-V-EO is non-handed. Which comparable vertical rod devices are also non-handed or reversible?
The Falcon 24-V-EO is non-handed, so one part number covers both hands. Among the comparable devices, the Von Duprin 2227-3FT is a 36 inch non-handed wide stile Grade 1 device, the Orca OED56 Series 36 inch is non-handed, the BEST Precision 5201 Series 36 inch is reversible, and the Sargent 2727 is a reversible Grade 1 fire rated wide stile device. Reversible units are field-set at install rather than stocked by hand, which gives you the same single-SKU stocking benefit the Falcon 24-V-EO offers.
16) I want a less bottom rod vertical rod device. Does the Falcon 24-V-EO do that, or is there another product built that way?
The Falcon 24-V-EO can be configured with a Less Bottom Rod option, which removes the bottom rod and the floor-mortised 2130 strike from the opening while keeping the 3788 surface-applied top strike. If you prefer a device supplied that way as standard, the Orca OED56 Series 36 inch is a standard duty exit only vertical rod device furnished less bottom rod for 1-3/4 inch doors, though it is not fire rated, so it will not serve a labeled opening the way the Falcon 24-V-EO does.
17) What finishes does the Falcon 24 Series exit device come in?
Fourteen finish choices cover most storefront and commercial specs: 313AN dark bronze anodized, 628 aluminum anodized, 643E aged bronze, 612 satin bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 629 bright stainless and 630 satin stainless. Dark bronze and clear aluminum anodized are the ones that match typical storefront framing.
18) Are there Grade 1 vertical rod exit devices comparable to the Falcon 24-V-EO from other Allegion-adjacent or value lines?
The Falcon 24-V-EO is Grade 1 and fire rated. Within the comparable Grade 1 vertical rod field, the Dexter ED1000 Series is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit device and the Dexter ED1500 Series is a Grade 1 device that is not fire rated. The BEST Precision 2201 Series 36 inch is a wide stile surface vertical rod device and the 5201 Series 36 inch is a reversible version, neither fire rated. For a labeled 36 inch opening, stay with the Falcon 24-V-EO or another fire rated device rather than these.
