Falcon Door Hardware

Choosing Falcon Commercial Door Hardware

Falcon commercial door hardware covers several opening functions, so start by identifying what the door needs to do before comparing individual products. The assortment includes exit devices and trim, commercial lock components, interchangeable-core parts, automatic door operators, and related service hardware. For a new opening, the door type, function, traffic level, and project specification help narrow the hardware family. For a repair, the existing Falcon series and component reference are usually the most important starting points.

Exit-device selection depends on the latching arrangement and the door configuration. Rim devices latch at the edge of the opening, while vertical-rod devices use top and bottom latching components. Trim, dogging hardware, solenoids, and other exit-device parts may be series-specific. Confirm device series, door width, handing where applicable, trim function, finish, and any fire-rating requirements before ordering a complete device or replacement component.

Falcon also offers cylinders, interchangeable-core components, and lock-related parts used to maintain keyed commercial openings. When matching these items, verify the core or cylinder format, keying system requirements, and the lock family that will receive the component. Small parts such as tailpieces and related hardware can look similar while being intended for different assemblies, so model-specific compatibility is more reliable than visual matching alone.

Automatic door operators and electrified exit-device components add electrical and installation requirements beyond standard mechanical hardware. Review voltage, activation method, mounting position, door size, and manufacturer installation information for the exact model. Existing openings may also require compatible arms, controls, switches, or power-related components that are not interchangeable across every Falcon product family.

Commercial openings can have accessibility, egress, fire-rating, and facility-specific requirements. Hardware should be selected for the actual opening rather than by brand name alone. Use each product page to confirm dimensions, function, finish, handing, electrical details, and listed applications, especially when replacing an existing device or coordinating several openings within the same project.
