Kawneer KW033530 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exit devices does the Kawneer KW033530 lower rod assembly fit?
The KW033530 is a lower rod assembly for Falcon 1690 and 1990 Series vertical rod exit devices. It is a genuine Kawneer service part built to OEM specs for those two series, so it drops into an existing 1690 or 1990 installation without modifying the device. If your device is a different Falcon series or another brand, this is not the rod for it.
2) My Falcon vertical rod exit device isn't latching at the bottom. Is the lower rod the part I need?
On a vertical rod device the lower rod drives the bottom latch into the floor strike, so a bottom bolt that won't throw, drags, or no longer engages is usually a worn, bent, or disconnected lower rod. The Kawneer KW033530 replaces that lower rod mechanism on Falcon 1690 and 1990 Series devices and restores the latching and egress operation. If the top latch is the one failing, you need the upper rod instead, not this assembly.
3) Do I have to replace the whole Falcon exit device, or can I just swap the lower rod?
You can service just the rod. The KW033530 is sold as a standalone replacement component for Falcon 1690 and 1990 Series devices and is built as a direct, drop-in replacement, so the device chassis, trim, and top hardware stay in place. That keeps the door out of service for a fraction of the time a full device changeout takes.
4) Is the KW033530 an OEM part or an aftermarket copy?
It is a genuine Kawneer OEM service part, sold under the Kawneer service parts program and built to factory specification for the Falcon 1690 and 1990 Series. For facilities that have to keep fire-exit hardware in its listed, as-manufactured condition, that matters: an OEM rod keeps the device assembled as the manufacturer built it.
5) Will the KW033530 work on a Falcon rim or mortise exit device?
No. This is a lower rod assembly, a component that only exists on vertical rod devices, where rods run to a top latch and a bottom bolt. Rim devices latch into a strike on the frame and mortise devices latch into the jamb, so neither one uses rods at all. Use the KW033530 only on Falcon 1690 and 1990 Series vertical rod devices.
6) Is this lower rod assembly rated for commercial use or is it a light-duty residential part?
Commercial. The KW033530 is classified as commercial door hardware and is intended for service and repair of installed Falcon vertical rod exit devices in offices, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential, and government buildings.
7) How many pieces come when I order the Kawneer KW033530?
One lower rod assembly, ordered under a single SKU with no finish, length, or handing options to pick. You specify nothing beyond the part number itself.
