Kawneer KW133498EL-40 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Kawneer KW133498EL-40 right-hand or left-hand?
Right-handed. The KW133498EL-40 is the right-hand version of this Falcon 1690 concealed panic service part, so if the opening is left-handed you need the opposite-hand part number instead. Handing is determined at the door, not adjustable in the field, so confirm the swing before ordering.
2) What door widths does the Kawneer Falcon 1690 electric latch retraction part come in?
Three lengths are offered: 30 inch, 42 inch and 48 inch. Match the length to the device already in the door leaf rather than to the nominal door width, since the concealed device is cut to the leaf it was supplied for.
3) Will this Kawneer part fit a Falcon 1690 concealed panic device I already have installed?
Yes, that is exactly what it is for. It is a Kawneer factory service part for the Falcon 1690 concealed panic platform with electric latch retraction, built to original factory standards for direct compatibility with that hardware. It is not a substitute for a different exit device series.
4) Is this a complete exit device or just a replacement component?
It is a replacement component, not a full device. The KW133498EL-40 is catalogued as a Kawneer service part for the Falcon 1690 electric latch retraction panic hardware, supplied to repair an existing installation. If you are hanging a new door with no panic hardware on it, you need a complete exit device.
5) What finish is the KW133498EL-40, and will it match my other Kawneer storefront doors?
Dark Bronze. That is one of Kawneer's standard architectural aluminum finishes, so it will read consistently with dark bronze storefront and entrance framing. If your existing doors are clear anodized or painted, the visible parts will not match.
6) Why would I need electric latch retraction on a concealed panic device?
Electric latch retraction pulls the latch back on a signal so the door can be pushed or pulled freely without operating the pushbar, which is how a concealed panic device is tied into an access control system or a card reader while still allowing free mechanical egress at all times. The KW133498EL-40 supports that electrified function on the Falcon 1690 platform.
7) Is the Falcon 1690 part suitable for a school or hospital door, or is it light commercial only?
It is a commercial-rated door hardware part. Kawneer lists the typical uses as office buildings, educational facilities, healthcare institutions with electrified panic systems, retail with access control, government and municipal buildings, industrial and warehouse facilities, and multi-tenant residential or mixed-use properties.
