Resolution
Falcon does offer a pullman style (less deadlocking, less retention) top latch for use with the Falcon 24-C, 25-C and the discontinued Falcon/Monarch !7-C, 18-C, and XX-C Panic Rated Concealed Vertical Rod Exit Devices.
On these devices, the use of a pullman style top latch would require the device to also be Less Bottom Rod (LBR) since it does not have the retention mechanism that would hold the latches in the retracted condition while the door is open. This application would reduce the actual security of the opening since the pullman top latch does not deadlock and there is no bottom bolt.
These are available as Special Order products and a distributor would need to email [email protected] for price and availability.
The part number depends on the handing of the device.

Note that these latches can only be used on Panic Rated Exit Devices and would not be recommended on exterior doors or any door where security is important..
Using one on a Fire Rated Exit Device would void the UL Fire Exit Hardware Label.
