Falcon SK25R/M-8-622 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Falcon SK25R/M-8 shim kit actually do on an exit device installation?
It is a 1/4 inch shim kit used to space a Falcon 25 Series rim or mortise exit device off the door face. You use it when the device chassis needs to sit proud of the door to clear a stop, an astragal, a glass bead, or a mismatched trim height, so the pushbar and latch line up correctly instead of binding.
2) Will this shim kit work with a Falcon 25 Series surface vertical rod or concealed vertical rod device?
No. The SK25R/M-8 is built for the rim and mortise configurations of the 25 Series only. The R/M in the part number is exactly that distinction. Vertical rod devices space differently because the rod guides and top/bottom latches also have to move, so a rim/mortise shim will not carry that installation.
3) Is the Von Duprin 040061 QEL conversion kit an alternative to the Falcon SK25R/M-8 shim kit?
No. The Falcon SK25R/M-8 is a 1/4 inch shim kit that adds spacing behind a Falcon 25 Series rim or mortise exit device so the chassis sits correctly on the door. The Von Duprin 040061 is a QEL modular conversion kit that adds quiet electric latch retraction to 33A, 35A, 98 and 99 Series devices in 3-foot and 4-foot sizes. One is a mechanical spacing accessory, the other changes how the device is actuated, and the 040061 is built for Von Duprin device series rather than the Falcon 25 Series.
4) I have a 25 Series exit device on a door with a stop that the chassis hits. Is a shim kit the fix?
That is the usual reason to order one. Adding the 1/4 inch shim moves the device body off the door face so the chassis and endcap clear the obstruction. If a single 1/4 inch is not enough for your condition, shimming is cumulative in practice, but confirm the mounting screws you have are long enough to pick up the added thickness.
5) Does adding a shim kit change how the exit device works or what I have to order with it?
The shim only changes standoff. It does not change the device function, the trim, or the cylinder. What it can change is fastener length and strike position: pushing a rim device 1/4 inch off the face moves the latch relative to the strike, so plan on adjusting or repositioning the rim strike on the frame to keep proper engagement.
6) I need a part for a Von Duprin or Accentra exit device, not a Falcon. Is this the right shim?
No. The SK25R/M-8 is a Falcon 25 Series part and is not an accessory for other manufacturers' devices. For Von Duprin work ZenSupply carries series-specific kits such as the 040061 QEL modular conversion kit for 33A/35A/98/99 Series and the 040070/040071 cylinder dogging conversion kit for 36 inch and 48 inch 33A devices. For Accentra, the 7110/7120 top latch replacement component is a 7100-family part.
7) I need to change how an exit device operates, not just space it off the door - what should I be looking at instead of a shim kit?
A shim kit like the Falcon SK25R/M-8 only sets the 1/4 inch standoff between the device and the door face; it does not alter device function. To change operation, look at conversion kits: the Von Duprin 040070/040071 adds cylinder dogging with an indicator to 36 inch and 48 inch 33A exit devices, and the Von Duprin 04116 QELX modular kit adds quiet electronic latch retraction to AX exit devices. Match the kit to the device series you actually have on the door.
8) My exit device latch is worn out - does a shim kit fix that, or do I need a different part?
A shim kit does not address a worn latch. The Falcon SK25R/M-8 is a 1/4 inch spacer for mounting 25 Series rim and mortise devices. For a failed latch you want a latch component, such as the Accentra 60-7010-0049-999 top latch replacement for 7110 and 7120 devices or the 60-7010-0050-999 top latch replacement for the 7110F. Both of those are Accentra parts, so confirm the device brand and series on the door before ordering.
9) Will the Arrow 16RCR-27 rim housing work with a Falcon 25 Series exit device the way the SK25R/M-8 shim kit does?
They serve different purposes. The Arrow 16RCR-27 is a small format interchangeable core rim housing in 6/7-pin, listed for 24/25 Series, and it is the cylinder side of the opening. The Falcon SK25R/M-8 is the 1/4 inch shim kit used to space a 25 Series rim or mortise device off the door face. A job that needs keyed outside access and a spacing correction needs both parts, not one in place of the other.
10) What finish does the Falcon SK25R/M-8 shim kit come in?
US19 matte black. Since the shim sits behind the device chassis and against the door, the finish matters mainly at any edge that stays visible after the device is mounted; black reads as a shadow line rather than a bright edge on most doors.
11) Is this shim kit a commercial part or is it suitable for residential doors?
Falcon lists the SK25R/M-8 as commercial. It is an accessory for 25 Series exit devices, which are commercial egress hardware found on office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses and government facilities rather than on residential openings.
12) What other Falcon 25 Series accessories might I need alongside the shim kit?
If you are also handling keyed dogging or cylinder work on 24/25 Series hardware, the Arrow 16RCR-27 SFIC rim housing is a 6/7-pin rim housing listed for the 24/25 Series. Beyond that, the shim kit itself is the standoff piece only; trim, strike and cylinder are ordered separately against the device.
