Falcon 19VEO6893 Surface Vertical Rod Exit Device

Product Description

The FALCON 19VEO6893 is a 3-foot surface vertical rod exit device finished in aluminum, designed for single-door egress applications in commercial and institutional buildings. This device mounts directly to the door surface without a mortise pocket, making it a practical choice for hollow metal and wood doors where a concealed rod system is not required. It operates via a push-bar mechanism that retracts top and bottom rods simultaneously, releasing the door latch for compliant panic egress. Licensed locksmiths and commercial door hardware technicians are the typical installers. The aluminum finish provides corrosion resistance suited to interior and light-use vestibule applications.

Surface vertical rod exit devices are standard hardware in commercial egress paths — stairwell doors, corridor doors, and secondary egress doors in schools, offices, healthcare facilities, and retail buildings. The 19VEO6893 is sized for a 3-foot door leaf and is sold as an exit device only, meaning no trim or outside access hardware is included. This configuration is appropriate when egress-only function is required and no entry hardware is needed on the exterior side.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed commercial door hardware technician or qualified locksmith in accordance with applicable building codes, including IBC egress requirements and local AHJ standards. De-latch and secure the door in a safe position before beginning rod adjustment and strike alignment. Verify top and bottom strike alignment after mounting to ensure positive latching under normal door operation. Do not modify the rod length beyond the manufacturer-specified adjustment range.
