Kawneer KW133481EL-17 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Kawneer KW133481EL-17 and where does it get used?
It's a Kawneer El Falcon 1790 Series rim exit device with electric latch retraction, sized for 42 inch door applications and finished in Clear Aluminum. Rim mounting means the latch engages a strike on the frame face, so it's used on single commercial doors, typically aluminum storefront entrances in offices, schools, healthcare, retail and government buildings.
2) Will the KW133481EL-17 work on a pair of doors without a mullion?
No. This is a rim device, meaning it latches into a strike at the frame or into a mullion, so on a pair of doors you would need a removable mullion between the leaves. For a pair with a clear opening and no mullion, you want a vertical rod device instead, which latches at the head and sill.
3) What does electric latch retraction do on this Kawneer exit device, and what else do I need to make it work?
Electric latch retraction pulls the latch back electrically so the door can be released remotely or held in a push/pull state, which is how the device ties into an access control system. Because it's an electrified device, the job also needs a power supply sized for latch retraction, wiring run into the door, and a transfer point (door loop or electric hinge) to get power from frame to leaf. Those items are ordered separately.
4) Can I use this as a straight replacement for an existing Kawneer exit device?
It's supplied through the Kawneer Service Parts program and built to manufacturer spec for existing El Falcon 1790 rim exit installations, so it drops into that family as a service replacement. It is not represented as a retrofit for other series or other brands of rim device, so match the existing unit to the 1790 before ordering.
5) Is the 42 inch size the door width or the device length?
The 42 inch figure is the device sizing for 42 inch door applications within the El Falcon 1790 rim exit family. If your leaf is a different width, order the 1790 device built for that width rather than trying to fit this one.
6) Will the Clear Aluminum finish match my existing storefront doors?
Clear Aluminum is the factory finish, and it's the standard anodized look used across aluminum storefront framing and entrance doors, so it coordinates with most existing clear anodized openings. If your other doors are dark bronze or black anodized, this one will stand out and you should order the matching finish instead.
7) Is this rated for residential use or commercial only?
Commercial. The El Falcon 1790 rim device is built to commercial performance standards for storefront and institutional entrances, not for residential doors.
