Falcon 1690EO62836 Concealed Vertical Rod Exit Device 36in

Product Description

The FALCON 1690EO62836 is a concealed vertical rod pushpad exit device designed for single-door egress applications in commercial and institutional buildings. The device operates with a push-to-exit touchpad that actuates concealed vertical rods, releasing the door latch at both the top and bottom of the door simultaneously. It ships as an exit device only, without a trim or outside access hardware, and is finished in aluminum. At 6.1 pounds, the unit is suited for standard steel or wood door installations. Licensed contractors and door hardware specialists are the typical installers on commercial projects.

This exit device is intended for use on 36-inch door panels in commercial, institutional, or light industrial settings where code-compliant panic hardware is required. The concealed vertical rod design keeps hardware internal to the door, making it appropriate for locations where a clean door face is preferred, such as office corridors, schools, hospitals, and retail back-of-house exits. The aluminum finish suits environments where corrosion resistance and a neutral appearance are priorities.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed door hardware technician or contractor familiar with ANSI and IBC life-safety egress requirements. Verify door preparation dimensions match the device body before mounting, and ensure the door is plumb and properly aligned with the frame before securing vertical rod components. Power down any electrified hardware on the door before beginning work. Do not use the device as the sole means of hardware support on glass or hollow-core doors without confirming the door rating and reinforcement requirements.
