Falcon 031516-000-70 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Falcon 031516-000-70 solenoid actually do in a T881 lock?
It's the electrified element that controls the lock in a Falcon T881 series commercial lock, and it works fail-secure: when power drops, the lock stays locked. If your access control spec calls for the opening to remain secure during a power outage, that's the behavior this part delivers. If your opening needs to release on power loss (fail-safe), this is the wrong solenoid.
2) Can a mortise or rim cylinder be used in place of the Falcon 031516-000-70 solenoid?
No. The Falcon 031516-000-70 is a fail-secure solenoid, an electrified replacement part for the Falcon T881 series commercial lock that keeps the lock engaged when power is lost. Keyed cylinders such as the Corbin Russwin 1000 Grade 1 series mortise cylinder with A02 straight cam or the Schlage 20-021 rim cylinder with vertical tailpiece cam are mechanical key-operated components; they control the key side of a lock and have no electrical function. If the electrified lock stops releasing on a valid access control signal, the solenoid is the part in question, not the cylinder.
3) Is this a genuine Falcon part or an aftermarket solenoid?
Genuine Falcon OEM. The 031516-000-70 is the factory replacement component for T881 hardware, so the lock returns to its original operating specification rather than an approximated aftermarket fit.
4) Is the Falcon T881 solenoid suitable for a school or hospital door on access control?
It's a commercial-duty component, and fail-secure electrified openings in offices, schools, healthcare, government buildings, warehouses, retail and multi-tenant residential are the applications Falcon lists for it. For life-safety egress openings, verify with your local code official that fail-secure is permitted on that specific door before installing.
5) My Falcon T881 lock won't release when the access control system energizes it. Is the solenoid the part to replace?
That's the part this covers. The solenoid is the electrically actuated element inside a T881, and the 031516-000-70 is sold as the service replacement to restore factory function without swapping the whole lock. Mechanical trim, cylinder and latch stay in place.
6) If the key side of a T881 opening also needs work, what cylinder options pair with an electrified commercial lock?
The Falcon 031516-000-70 solenoid only restores the electrified release function, so the mechanical key override is handled by a separate cylinder. For mortise prep, the Corbin Russwin 1080 Grade 1 series 1-1/2 inch LFIC mortise cylinder is a 6-pin large format interchangeable core unit, and the Corbin Russwin 1070 Grade 1 series 1-1/4 inch 6-pin mortise housing uses an A01 cloverleaf cam. For rim prep, the Schlage 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam. Confirm the cam or tailpiece the lock body requires before ordering.
7) We want keys rekeyable in house alongside our electrified doors - what is different about interchangeable core cylinders versus the 031516-000-70 solenoid?
The Falcon 031516-000-70 is a fail-secure solenoid for the T881 series and has no keyway, so it plays no part in a keying program. Interchangeable core products are what let staff swap keying without pulling the lock apart: the BEST 1C series standard 5-pin cylinder core and the BEST Peaks 1CB 150 series interchangeable core are core-based, and the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant patented interchangeable core 7-pin brass 150 series core. The Schlage 20-057-C is a full size interchangeable core in the C keyway with a 643E aged bronze finish.
8) Is the Falcon 031516-000-70 solenoid usable on an aluminum storefront deadlock opening?
No. The 031516-000-70 is a commercial replacement part built specifically for the Falcon T881 series electrified lock, so it fits only that hardware. Narrow stile storefront deadlock openings are served by different parts: the Adams Rite 4024 cylinder pull with trim plate mounting and the Adams Rite 4025 five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws are both intended for the Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock/deadlatch, and the Adams Rite 4026 five pin tumbler cylinder pull is for the 5017 wood door deadlock/deadlatch.
9) We are replacing key-in-knob and deadbolt cylinders across a property - does the Falcon 031516-000-70 cover any of those?
It does not. The Falcon 031516-000-70 is an electrified fail-secure solenoid for T881 series commercial locks, not a keyed cylinder. For key-in-knob and deadbolt retrofits, the Kaba Ilco 1539 series is a key-in-knob/lever universal cylinder, the 1549 series is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder, the 1579 knob and lever cylinder is built for Sargent hardware, and the 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder. Match the cylinder to the existing lock brand and prep on each door.
10) Does the 031516-000-70 come with a cylinder or keys?
No. It's the solenoid only, a single service part. Keyed cylinders are separate items: for rim applications, for example, Schlage's 20-021 (vertical tailpiece cam) and 20-022 (horizontal tailpiece cam) 6-pin rim cylinders each ship with two keys, and Corbin Russwin's 1000 Grade 1 mortise cylinder is offered in 1-1/2 inch length with an A02 straight cam.
11) How do I order the Falcon T881 fail-secure solenoid, and are there options to pick?
There's one configuration: part number 031516-000-70. No finish, handing or voltage variants to select, so the part number alone identifies it.
12) Does the Falcon 031516-000-70 work on residential handleset and deadbolt hardware?
No. The 031516-000-70 is designated for commercial use as a T881 series replacement part in access-controlled openings such as offices, schools, healthcare and government buildings. Residential-style handleset and deadbolt cylinder retrofits are covered by different parts, including the Medeco 1075127 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, the Medeco 1012040 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, and the Medeco 1065244 5-pin lazy motion rim type cylinder with an Emtek tailpiece.
