Falcon F18-V-L DANE 313 3FT LHR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon Monarch 18 Series rim exit device work on a pair of doors, or do I need a mullion?
A rim device latches into a strike, so on a pair it goes on the active leaf and the strike has to land on something solid. The Monarch 18 covers single-door and double-door active-leaf applications at 36 inches. On a pair with no center mullion, a rim device has nothing to latch into, so you either add a removable mullion or use vertical rod hardware instead. For the vertical rod route on a pair, ZenSupply carries the Hager 4501 Series 36 inch concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad and the Hager 4601 narrow stile concealed vertical rod.
2) Do I have to order the Falcon Monarch 18 exit device left hand or right hand?
The exit-only Monarch 18 is non-handed, so one part covers any swing with no field modification. Handing only enters the picture on the lever trim versions: the Dane lever trim models are ordered handed, and both fire-rated Dane lever configurations are left-hand reverse. If you are stocking spares across a building, the exit-only bar is the one that fits every opening.
3) Is the Falcon Monarch 18 rim exit device fire rated, and can I put it on a labeled opening?
Fire-rated configurations of the Monarch 18 are UL 305 listed for fire-rated openings, but you have to order the fire-rated version specifically. The plain Dark Bronze 36 inch device is the standard, non-fire configuration. Three of the four builds are fire rated: exit only in Satin Bronze, and Dane lever trim in Oil Rubbed Bronze and Dark Bronze. One note on labeled doors generally, fire exit hardware never dogs down, so if you need the bar held retracted during business hours, that has to be a non-fire opening.
4) What is the difference between exit-only and lever trim on the Falcon Monarch 18, and which do I need?
Exit only means the bar releases the door from the inside and there is no outside handle, so the door is always locked from the corridor or exterior side. Lever trim adds an outside handle, the Dane lever on the Monarch 18, so authorized people can enter without going around. Pick exit only for stair discharge, rear service doors, and emergency exits. Pick the Dane lever trim where the door is a normal entry point that also has to serve as egress. The lever trim versions are ordered handed; the exit-only bar is not.
5) What is the closest alternative to the Falcon Monarch 18 rim exit device if I need a Grade 1 36 inch panic bar from another brand?
Several 36 inch Grade 1 rim devices sit in the same slot. The Von Duprin 22-3FT is a wide stile pushpad rim device, 36 inch, non-handed and Grade 1, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Corbin Russwin ED2200 is a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile rim device, exit only. TownSteel ED1100 is a 36 inch heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile rim device. If the fire rating is the part you cannot give up, look at the Dexter ED1000 Series Grade 1 fire-rated rim device or the Orca OED85 Series 36 inch fire-rated rim device instead, since none of those first three are fire rated.
6) My door is an aluminum storefront with a narrow stile. Is the Falcon Monarch 18 the right device?
The Falcon Monarch 18 Series is a rim device surface-mounted to the door face at 36 inches. For a narrow stile aluminum opening, devices built specifically for narrow stile include the Corbin Russwin ED4200, a Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile rim exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim, the TownSteel ED3700 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile rim device, and the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch fire-rated narrow stile rim device with starwheel interlocking, which is Grade 1 and wood door compatible. Confirm the stile width you have before ordering either way.
7) I need a fire-rated 36 inch rim exit device. What else besides the Falcon Monarch 18 fire-rated model will work?
Two other fire-rated rim devices sized for the same opening: the Marks USA M9900F-36, a 36 inch fire-rated rim exit device, exit only, with a panic protector end cap, and the Orca Hardware OED85 Series 36 inch fire-rated rim exit device, also exit only. Both are exit-only devices, so if the opening needs outside lever access the Falcon Monarch 18 fire-rated Dane lever trim configuration is the one that covers it. The Dexter ED1000 Series Grade 1 fire-rated rim exit device is another Grade 1 fire-rated option.
8) Is the SDC PSB560 pressure sense bar a substitute for a Falcon Monarch 18 rim exit device?
No. The SDC SureExit PSB560 Series 36 inch pressure sense bar is an electrified access control bar with tri-failsafe technology, fitting narrow or wide stile doors, and it is not fire rated. The SDC MSB550 Series 36 inch unit is likewise a mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release. Both signal or release a separate locking device rather than providing the mechanical rim latch the Falcon Monarch 18 Series carries, which is a Grade 1 rim exit device with standard and fire-rated configurations.
9) I need outside lever access on the door, not exit only. Which devices besides the Falcon Monarch 18 accept trim?
The Falcon Monarch 18 Series is offered with Dane lever outside trim, including in fire-rated left-hand reverse builds. Among other Grade 1 rim devices, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a 36 inch Grade 1 rim device listed as exit only and accepts trim, on 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is the narrow stile equivalent that also accepts trim. The Dormakaba Electrified Rim 36 inch device ships with 4908A trim in a classroom function if the opening needs electrified access control instead.
10) Can a concealed vertical rod device replace a rim device like the Falcon Monarch 18 on the same opening?
They latch differently. The Hager 4501 Series 36 inch Grade 1 device and the Hager 4601 Series 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile device are concealed vertical rod exit devices, latching top and bottom through rods routed inside the door, which requires door prep for the rods. The Falcon Monarch 18 Series is rim-mount, surface-mounted to the door face with no mortise prep, latching to a strike on the frame or the inactive leaf. Swapping between the two changes the door and frame prep, not just the hardware.
11) I need a night latch function so the door can be unlocked from outside with a key. Which device covers that?
The Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow design rim exit device carried in a night latch function. The Detex V4003A/03AN Series is a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device with night latch trim, carried as device only in an exit-only function. The Falcon Monarch 18 Series is offered exit-only or with Dane lever outside trim, so match the outside function you need before choosing.
12) Does a rim exit device need the door mortised, or does it surface mount?
Rim devices like the Monarch 18 surface mount to the face of the door, so there is no mortise pocket to cut. That makes it the lower-prep option compared with mortise or concealed vertical rod hardware, and it is why rim is the usual choice on a retrofit where you are working with an existing door. You do still need the strike mounted on the frame stop, and the door prepped for the trim if you are running the Dane lever.
13) Is the Falcon Monarch 18 heavy duty enough for a school or hospital entrance?
Grade 1 under ANSI/BHMA A156.3 is the top commercial durability tier for exit devices, and the Monarch 18 carries it. That is the level specified for high-traffic institutional openings, schools, healthcare, government buildings, and multi-tenant residential. If your spec sheet calls for Grade 1 exit hardware, this meets it.
14) What finishes does the Falcon Monarch 18 rim exit device come in?
Three bronze finishes on the Monarch 18: Dark Bronze (313), Satin Bronze (US10), and Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B). Worth knowing which one you are matching before you order, because the fire-rated exit-only build is the Satin Bronze, while the Dane lever trim fire-rated builds come in Oil Rubbed Bronze or Dark Bronze. If you are matching existing hardware across a floor, the finish decides which configuration you can actually take.
15) I need an exit device that releases on a card reader or ties into access control. Is the Falcon Monarch 18 the right one?
The Monarch 18 configurations are mechanical, exit only or Dane lever trim, with no electrified option among them. For an opening that has to signal or release electrically, ZenSupply carries the SDC S6136 Spectra electrified architectural rim device, 36 inch with a 4 inch wide stile and a 1-3/4 to 2 inch door thickness range, the SDC MSB550 mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release, and the Dormakaba E2103 electrified 36 inch rim device with 4908A trim in classroom function. Use the Monarch 18 where the opening is straight mechanical egress.
16) Can I dog down the Falcon Monarch 18 so the door stays push-open during the day?
Dogging is not something you can add to a fire-rated device, and three of the four Monarch 18 builds are the fire-rated version. If holding the latch retracted during open hours is a requirement on a non-labeled door, look at hardware that states dogging: the Design Hardware 1000R 33 inch heavy duty rim and 2000R 33 inch standard duty rim both come with hex key dogging, as does the Stanley Security QED200 Series Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device.
17) I am standardizing exit hardware across a whole property. Does the Falcon Monarch 18 help reduce what I have to stock?
The non-handed design is the reason it does. One exit-only Monarch 18 covers every 36 inch opening regardless of swing, with no field handing, so a maintenance shop stocks one part instead of a left and a right. Where you lose that is the Dane lever trim versions, which are handed and have to be ordered per opening. A common approach on a fleet: exit-only bars as the stocked spare, lever trim ordered only for the openings that need outside entry.
18) What is the difference between the Falcon Monarch 18 Series and the Cal-Royal A9800 rim exit device?
The Cal-Royal A9800 Series is a 36 inch exit-only rim device with a heavy duty chassis, carried at Grade 2, and it is not fire rated. The Falcon Monarch 18 Series is ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 at the same 36 inch width and comes in both standard and fire-rated builds, and in exit-only or Dane lever trim configurations. If the spec on the drawing calls for Grade 1 or a fire-rated opening, the A9800 is not the same item.
19) I need to cover a 48 inch door in the same building where the 36 inch Falcon Monarch 18 is going on the other openings. What matches?
For the wider leaf, Grade 1 rim devices sized at 48 inches include the Corbin Russwin ED3200 crossbar rim exit device, a Grade 1 48 inch device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Sargent 2828, a Grade 1 reversible rim exit device for 48 inch minimum door width, exit only. If the 48 inch opening is fire rated, the Marks USA M9900F-48 is a 48 inch fire-rated rim panic device, exit only. The Falcon Monarch 18 covers the 36 inch openings alongside them.
20) The door is a wood door. Does the Falcon Monarch 18 or one of the alternatives suit it?
Among the rim devices in the same class, the ones carried as wood door compatible are the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch fire-rated narrow stile device and the Adams Rite 8700 Series 30 inch narrow stile device, both Grade 1 with starwheel interlocking. The Adams Rite 8800 Series, by contrast, is a narrow stile Grade 1 device for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors and is not wood door compatible. Check the door leaf material against the device before ordering.
21) What Grade 1 rim exit devices are rated above heavy duty for a high-abuse opening like a school gym or transit door?
The Detex Advantex line carries an extra heavy duty rating: the Detex 10 Advantex Series 36 inch wide stile device and the Detex 40 Advantex Series narrow stile device are both Grade 1 and rated extra heavy duty. The Falcon Monarch 18 Series is ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1, rated for heavy-duty high-cycle commercial use, and covers fire-rated configurations, which the Detex 10 does not carry.
22) We are standardizing exit hardware across a facility on Grade 1 36 inch rim devices. What else fits that standard alongside the Falcon Monarch 18?
Grade 1 rim devices at 36 inches include the TownSteel ED1100 heavy duty wide stile panic rim device, the TownSteel ED9700 heavy duty wide stile device, the Hager 4701 Series rim device with Grade 1 BHMA certification, the Corbin Russwin ED2200 wide stile exit-only device, and the Imperial USA ED-501 wide stile rim panic device. The Falcon Monarch 18 Series is non-handed, so a single part covers either hand across the fleet in the exit-only configuration.
23) Is the Detex 00 Series dummy exit device an alternative to a Falcon Monarch 18?
No. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a super-heavy-duty dummy exit device with wide stile design, Grade 1 - it matches the look of an active device on the inactive leaf but does not latch or provide egress. The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is likewise carried in a dummy function, fire rated and wide stile. The Falcon Monarch 18 Series is the active Grade 1 rim exit device for the egress leaf; a dummy is what you pair beside it, not what you replace it with.
24) Is a crossbar or a paddle exit device a better choice than a pushpad bar like the Falcon Monarch 18?
The Monarch 18 is a pushpad rim device, which is the current standard look and the easiest to operate with an armful of boxes. Crossbar devices are what you match to when the rest of the building already runs crossbar, ZenSupply has the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar rim device and the Corbin Russwin ED3000 Series 48 inch Grade 1 crossbar rim device. A paddle release, like the CRL Jackson 1095P, is the choice where you want a smaller actuator rather than a full-width bar. Function is the same on all three, egress on push; it comes down to matching existing hardware and how the door gets used.
25) What is the difference between a crossbar exit device and the pushpad style on the Falcon Monarch 18?
Crossbar devices run a horizontal bar across the door face: the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar rim panic device is wide stile and exit only, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Falcon Monarch 18 Series uses a pushpad-style bar, as does the Von Duprin 22-3FT wide stile pushpad rim device at 36 inches. Crossbar and pushpad devices meet the same egress requirement but present a different look and touch surface, which matters when matching existing doors in a building.
