Falcon Exit Device Trims

Falcon exit device trims are the outside lever, pull, escutcheon, and knob trim assemblies that mount on the pull side of a door equipped with a Falcon exit device. The trim is what controls outside entry: by key, by a lever that's always active, by thumbpiece, or by a night latch function that requires a key to retract the latchbolt. Every trim in this category is specified to a Falcon exit device series, and selecting trim for the wrong series, or the wrong function, creates a non-functioning installation that has to be corrected on-site.

This category covers Falcon exit device trims for the 20 Series, 24 Series, and 25 Series exit devices, all stocked at American Locksets and available for same-day shipping.

Falcon Exit Device Trim by Series: What's Compatible with What

The most important specification decision when ordering Falcon trim is series compatibility. Falcon exit device trims are not universal across product lines. The 212-L and 214-KIL trims are designed for 20 Series devices. The 712L series trims fit 24 Series rim and vertical rod devices. The 510L, 511L, and 512 series trims are for 25 Series wide stile devices. Ordering a 510L trim for a 24 Series device won't mount.

Falcon 20 Series Exit Device Trims

The Falcon 212-L is a Grade 1 escutcheon entrance lever trim for 20 Series exit devices. Non-handed. The lever operates by key locks or unlocks function: a key in the outside escutcheon cylinder locks or unlocks the lever, which is the correct specification for any door where the outside lever must be toggled between access states. The 212-L ships for the entrance/classroom function and is the standard outside trim for 20 Series applications requiring controlled entry from outside.

The Falcon 214-KIL is the rose entrance knob trim for 20 Series exit devices. Non-handed. KIL designates key-in-lever: the cylinder is built into the knob rose assembly. The 214-KIL is the correct selection for 20 Series installations where a knob profile is required rather than a lever, and where controlled keyed access from outside is needed.

Falcon 25 Series Exit Device Trims

The 25 Series is Falcon's heavy-duty wide stile exit device family, covering rim (25-R), concealed vertical rod (25-C), surface vertical rod (25-V), and mortise (25-M) configurations. The following trims are specifically engineered for 25 Series devices.

Falcon 510L Series Lever Trims

The Falcon 510L is the standard entry lever trim for 25 Series exit devices, using the Dane lever profile as default. This is the entrance function: a key locks or unlocks the outside lever from the secured position.

The 510L-BE is the blank escutcheon lever trim on a Dane lever, with no cylinder, always active from outside. This is the passage function configuration: outside lever always operates freely, no key required for entry. Used on doors that should never be locked from the outside.

The 510L-NL is the night latch function: a key retracts the latchbolt from outside, which is the standard specification for building perimeter entry doors where continuous access requires a key on every use rather than a toggle function.

The 510L-DT is the dummy lever trim for 25 Series devices. No cylinder, no function, lever does not operate the latch. Specified on inactive paired doors or on openings where outside trim is required for aesthetic consistency without access function.

The 510L-Electrified is the electrified lever trim for 25 Series exit devices, designed for integration with access control systems, card readers, and remote release systems. The electrified trim allows the outside lever to be controlled by a signal from an access control panel, making it the correct specification for doors requiring both panic egress and remotely controlled outside entry.

Falcon 511L Classroom Lever Trim

The Falcon 511L is the classroom lever trim for 25 Series devices with a vandal resistant lever design. The classroom function keeps the outside lever locked until a key toggles it to the unlocked state, allowing a teacher or administrator to lock the door from the corridor without entering the room. The vandal resistant lever profile resists lever-snapping attacks common in institutional environments. The 511L is the primary Falcon trim specification for K-12 and higher education projects where 25 Series devices are installed on classroom corridor doors.

Falcon 512 Pull Trim Series

The Falcon 512TP is the thumbpiece trim for 25 Series exit devices. The thumbpiece depresses to retract the latchbolt from outside, with no cylinder required. This is the standard outside trim for vestibule, lobby, and interior corridor doors where outside entry must be available at any time.

The 512TP-BE is the blank escutcheon thumbpiece trim, the same function as the 512TP but with a larger escutcheon plate that conceals the mounting and provides a cleaner architectural finish.

The 512NL is the night latch pull trim for 25 Series exit devices. A fixed pull handle on the outside provides grip for pulling; a night latch cylinder retracts the latch bolt. No thumbpiece. Specified when outside pull trim must have a minimal profile with no projecting thumbpiece lever.

Falcon 24 Series Exit Device Trims: Narrow Stile Applications

Falcon 712L Entry Lever Trim

The Falcon 712L R/V is the entry lever trim for 24 Series exit devices in both rim and surface vertical rod configurations. ANSI Function 08: entrance by lever, key locks or unlocks. Requires a mortise cylinder (not included). The Dane lever is standard.

The 712L-NL-R/V is the night latch lever trim for 24 Series rim and vertical rod devices. The outside lever is locked at all times; a key retracts the latch bolt for entry. This is the correct specification for perimeter entry doors on narrow stile aluminum storefront applications.
