Falcon KIT.1197 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Falcon KIT.1197 dogging kit actually do on an exit device?
Dogging holds the pushbar depressed so the latch stays retracted and the door pushes open freely, no bar travel needed. That's how you run a storefront or a school corridor door as a free-swinging opening during business hours, then release the dogging at close and let the device latch normally again. The KIT.1197 adds that capability to Falcon 1690/1790 Series exit devices.
2) Can I dog a fire rated exit device?
No, and this is the one that gets buildings written up. Mechanical dogging is not permitted on fire rated exit devices, because a fire door has to latch every time it closes. Fit the KIT.1197 only to a non-fire 1690/1790 device on a non-rated opening. If the door carries a fire label, you need an electric latch retraction device instead, which drops out and relatches on alarm.
3) What is the equivalent dogging conversion kit if the device is a Von Duprin 33A instead of a Falcon 1690/1790?
The Falcon KIT.1197 dogging kit is built for the Falcon 1690/1790 Series, so it does not carry over to a Von Duprin chassis. For a 33A device, the counterpart is the Von Duprin 040070/040071 cylinder dogging with indicator conversion kit, which is made for 36 inch and 48 inch 33A exit devices in the 33/35 Series and is a Grade 1 part. Match the kit to the device family already hung on the door: Falcon rail gets the Falcon kit, 33A rail gets the Von Duprin kit.
4) I want dogging that takes a key and shows whether the device is dogged - what part does that?
The Falcon KIT.1197 provides dogging capability for Falcon 1690/1790 Series exit devices. If the requirement is specifically key-operated dogging with a visual indicator of the dogged state, the Von Duprin 040070/040071 conversion kit is the part written for that: it is cylinder dogging with indicator, sized for 36 inch and 48 inch 33A devices in the 33/35 Series. The choice follows the device on the door and whether the facility wants the dogged condition visible at a glance during rounds.
5) What finishes does the Falcon KIT.1197 dogging kit come in?
Two: US26D satin chrome and US28 aluminum anodized. US28 is the usual match for a clear anodized aluminum storefront door, US26D for a device already in satin chrome. Pick the one that matches the pushbar you are fitting it to, since the dogging hardware sits on the visible face of the device.
6) I want to leave my storefront doors unlocked during the day without unlocking the whole building. Is a dogging kit the right approach?
For a non-rated door, yes, and it's the simplest approach: dog the device in the morning, undog at close. No power, no wiring, no access control panel. The KIT.1197 does that for Falcon 1690/1790 devices. Where you need the doors to release on a schedule or from a card reader, dogging is the wrong tool and you want electric latch retraction, such as the Von Duprin 040061 QEL conversion kit for 33A/35A/98/99 Series devices in 3 foot and 4 foot widths.
7) Can I add dogging to an existing Falcon 1690 exit device already on the door, or do I need a new device?
You can retrofit it. The KIT.1197 is an accessory kit for 1690/1790 Series devices, supplied with the components needed to add dogging to hardware already hung, so the device stays on the door and the leaf keeps its existing prep. Work off the parent device's installation instructions and confirm the device on your door is a 1690 or 1790 before you order.
8) I have Falcon exit devices on several openings in the building. Can I standardize dogging across all of them with one part?
Only across the 1690 and 1790 openings. One KIT.1197 covers one device, so order one per door, and keep the finish consistent with the pushbars in each area (US26D satin chrome or US28 aluminum anodized). Falcon devices from other series take their own dogging hardware, so walk the openings and record the series stamped on each device before you build the order.
9) Can a QEL latch retraction kit be used instead of a dogging kit to hold the latch back?
They are different mechanisms and are not interchangeable. The Falcon KIT.1197 is a mechanical dogging kit for Falcon 1690/1790 Series devices, used where the latch is held retracted on site without power. The Von Duprin 040061 QEL modular conversion kit is a quiet electric latch retraction kit for 3 foot and 4 foot 33A, 35A, 98 and 99 Series devices, which retracts the latch electrically and needs a power supply and wiring to the door. If the job is an access control tie-in, the QEL kit is the path; if the job is holding a door push-open during business hours by hand, dogging is.
10) What kit converts a Von Duprin AX exit device, since the Falcon dogging kit will not fit it?
The Falcon KIT.1197 is dedicated to Falcon 1690/1790 Series devices and will not serve an AX chassis. For AX devices, the Von Duprin conversion kits are the 04116 QELX modular conversion kit and the 041166 QELX baseplate conversion kit, both listed as conversion kits and both adding quiet electronic latch retraction rather than mechanical dogging. Which of the two applies depends on whether the modular assembly or the baseplate is being changed out.
11) Is the Falcon KIT.1197 a commercial part or is it for residential doors?
Strictly commercial. It's an exit device accessory for Falcon 1690/1790 Series hardware, the kind of device found on office buildings, schools, healthcare corridors, retail entrances, warehouses and government facilities. Residential doors don't carry panic hardware, so there is nothing for this kit to mount to.
12) Is a dogging kit the right fix for an exit device whose top latch is worn out?
No, those are separate repairs. The Falcon KIT.1197 adds dogging function to Falcon 1690/1790 Series devices and does nothing for a failing latch. A worn top latch is replaced with the top latch component for that device family, such as the Accentra top latch replacement components 60-7010-0049-999 for 7110/7120 devices and 60-7010-0050-999 for the 7110F. Confirm which of the two applies by the device model stamped on the rail before ordering.
13) What is the difference between a dogging kit and a rim cylinder housing for an exit device?
The Falcon KIT.1197 is the dogging kit for Falcon 1690/1790 Series devices, governing whether the latch can be held retracted. A rim housing is the cylinder side of the device: the Arrow 16RCR-27 is an SFIC rim housing in 6/7-pin for the 24/25 Series, and it is what accepts an interchangeable core so a key can operate the outside trim. A locksmith standardizing a building on one core system orders the rim housing; a facility that wants doors free-swinging during open hours orders the dogging kit.
