Kawneer KW133481EL-29 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Kawneer KW133481EL-29 exit device fit a door other than 42 inches wide?
No. The KW133481EL-29 is sized for 42 inch door-width applications in the El Falcon 1790 rim exit configuration. A wider or narrower leaf needs the matching device length for that opening, not this one. Measure the actual door leaf before ordering, because a rim device sized for 42 inches will leave the latch case in the wrong position on a different width.
2) Is the Kawneer El Falcon 1790 rim exit device suitable for a pair of doors, or single doors only?
Rim exit hardware latches into a strike at the frame or, on a pair, into a mullion. The El Falcon 1790 as supplied here is a surface-mounted rim device for single door openings. If you have a pair with no center mullion, a rim device is the wrong choice; you want surface vertical rod hardware that latches at the head and threshold instead.
3) What does electric latch retraction do on the El Falcon 1790, and do I need it?
Electric latch retraction pulls the latch back electrically so the door can be pushed or pulled open without operating the pushbar. That is what lets an access control system, card reader, or remote release unlock the opening and, paired with an automatic operator, allows hands-free entry. If your opening is purely mechanical egress with no access control tied into it, you do not need the EL version. Free egress from the inside still works mechanically regardless of power state.
4) Is the KW133481EL-29 a genuine Kawneer part or an aftermarket replacement?
It is a genuine Kawneer service part, carried under the Kawneer Service Parts designation. For storefront and entrance systems that were originally built with Kawneer hardware, using the factory service part keeps the prep, mounting hole pattern and latch geometry as the door was manufactured, which matters on aluminum entrances where the door stile was machined at the factory.
5) What finish does the Kawneer KW133481EL-29 exit device come in, and can I get it to match other doors in my building?
Black is the only finish this part ships in. If the rest of your entrances are anodized aluminum or dark bronze, the black device will read differently across the elevation. Property managers standardizing a storefront run should confirm the finish on the existing devices before mixing this one in.
6) Do I need anything else to install an electric latch retraction exit device?
The device itself is the latch retraction hardware. An EL device needs a power supply sized for latch retraction inrush, a means of transferring power from frame to door (electric hinge or door loop), and whatever releases it on your side, a card reader, push button, or operator interface. None of that is part of the device. An electrician or integrator should be on the job, not just a door installer.
7) Can I use the KW133481EL-29 to replace a non-electrified El Falcon 1790 rim device?
It is built for the El Falcon 1790 rim exit platform, so it matches that family's fitment. Going from a mechanical 1790 to this electrified version on an existing 42 inch door also means bringing power to the leaf, which the mechanical device never needed. Budget for the power transfer and supply, not just the hardware swap.
8) Is this Kawneer exit device rated for commercial traffic or is it a residential part?
It is classified as commercial hardware, built for building egress points in offices, schools, healthcare facilities, retail, industrial buildings, multi-tenant residential and government properties. It is not a residential-duty part.
