The design of the 1690 is ideal for demanding, high-traffic applications. The vertical rods and latch mechanisms are concealed in the vertical door stile, ensuring trouble-free operation. Cast metal cover plates and end caps hold up to rigorous use. A quick, singlepoint dogging feature in the housing deactivates the device, permitting unrestricted traffic flow. The 1690 may also be used to retrofit a 1990 Series crossbar device.

Falcon Dor-O-Matic exit devices are your best choice for narrow stile aluminum doors. Our designs complement aluminum and glass construction and provide excellent durability for a range of applications.
