Falcon 1790 Series Rim Exit Device
Low-Maintenance. High-Security. Code-Compliant.
Designed for demanding commercial and institutional environments, the Falcon 1790 Series Rim Exit Device is the go-to solution when durability and ease of maintenance are a top priority. Unlike more complex exit devices, the 1790 features a streamlined rim design with fewer internal components—minimizing upkeep, reducing adjustment needs, and improving long-term performance.
Ideal for metal doors in high-traffic facilities, the 1790’s smooth surface and fully enclosed chassis deter tampering and eliminate code violations often caused by chained doors or forced entry tools. It's also a direct retrofit for the Falcon 2090 crossbar device, making upgrades seamless.
