Falcon 23981137 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What backset options does the Falcon 23981111 T Series springlatch come in?
The 23981111 springlatch is offered in two springlatch sizes, 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch, which are the two standard backsets used on commercial cylindrical lock preps. Match the size to the existing cross-bore centerline in the door, not to the lever you are reusing, because a 2-3/8 latch in a 2-3/4 prep will not reach the strike.
2) Will this Falcon springlatch fit a lockset that isn't a Falcon T Series?
No. The 23981111 is built as a genuine Falcon T Series component and holds OEM fit and function within T Series lockset assemblies. Retracting geometry and chassis engagement on cylindrical latches are brand specific, so use a latch made for whatever chassis is actually in the door rather than mixing brands.
3) Is this a square corner or radius faceplate latch?
Square corner. The faceplate on the 23981111 has a square corner geometry for flush mounting in standard commercial door edge preparations. If the existing latch in your door has rounded corners, the square plate will leave a visible mismatch in the mortise pocket unless you chisel the corners out.
4) Is the Kwikset 84290 square corner plainlatch a substitute for the Falcon 23981111 springlatch?
They are different latch types. The Falcon 23981111 is a springlatch, a spring-loaded latch that latches automatically as the door closes, offered with 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch springlatch dimensions. The Kwikset 84290 is a plainlatch with a 2-3/8 inch backset and a square corner faceplate. Both share the square corner faceplate geometry, but a plainlatch and a springlatch are not interchangeable mechanisms, and the Falcon part is built as a genuine T Series component for Falcon T Series locksets.
5) I need a latch for a residential entry door with an adjustable backset - what should I use instead of the Falcon T Series springlatch?
The Falcon 23981111 is a commercial T Series replacement springlatch built to match Falcon T Series locksets, and its springlatch dimension is fixed per part at either 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. For an adjustable-backset entry latch, the Deltana DLE23875 is a drive-in latch with an entry function that fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. For passage or privacy openings, the Deltana DLP23875 is a drive-in latch with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset for the same door thickness range.
6) What is the Pin Depth option on this Falcon latch and how do I pick it?
Pin depth is offered at 1 inch and 1-1/8 inch. It sets how far the retractor pin engages the lock chassis, so it has to match the T Series chassis you are servicing. Note the pairing: the 1 inch pin depth is sold with the 2-3/8 inch springlatch in 626 Satin Chrome, while the 1-1/8 inch pin depth goes with the 2-3/4 inch springlatch.
7) What finishes is the Falcon T Series replacement springlatch available in?
Three finishes: 626 Satin Chrome, 606 Satin Brass, and 613 Satin Bronze Oil-Rubbed. For a fleet of doors, 626 is the usual commercial standard and is the finish offered with both the 2-3/8 and the 2-3/4 springlatch, so it is the easier one to standardize on across a building. 606 and 613 are listed with the 2-3/4 inch springlatch.
8) Does a springlatch need to be handed, and will it work on a door that latches automatically behind you?
The 23981111 is a spring-loaded latch, so the bolt retracts on contact with the strike lip and relatches on its own every time the door closes. That is what you want on a self-closing commercial opening. Spring latches of this type are non-handed in the bolt itself; the bevel faces the strike either way, so the same part serves left and right hand doors on a T Series chassis.
9) Can I use a Kwikset or Deltana replacement latch instead of the Falcon T Series one?
Not on a Falcon T Series lockset. Peers like the Kwikset 84290 square corner plainlatch with a 2-3/8 inch backset or the Deltana DLP23875 drive-in latch with an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 backset are residential-pattern tubular latches; the Deltana is a drive-in with no faceplate mortise at all. The Falcon part is the one that keeps OEM function in a commercial T Series chassis. Where the Kwikset and Deltana latches do earn their place is on light-duty or residential-style tubular sets, and the Deltana units cover 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness.
10) Do I have to replace the whole Falcon lockset if the latch is sticking?
No, that is the point of this part. The 23981111 is a replacement latch for existing T Series installations, so a worn or binding springlatch can be swapped out at the door edge while the chassis, lever trim, and cylinder stay in place. Pull the existing latch first and confirm the backset and pin depth before ordering.
11) Do I need a fire-rated latch instead of the Falcon 23981111?
The Falcon 23981111 is a T Series springlatch replacement part for commercial mechanical lock applications. If your opening requires a UL 3 hour rated latch, the Kwikset 83521 RCAL plain latch is UL 3 hour rated and suits BBL, KNL, CNL and PLL trim, and the Kwikset 83518 RCAL adjustable square drive latch is also UL 3 hour rated. Those are Kwikset components rather than Falcon T Series parts, so they will not carry the OEM fit into a T Series lockset.
12) I only need the square corner faceplate, not the whole latch - is the Falcon 23981111 the right part?
The Falcon 23981111 is the complete T Series springlatch assembly with its square corner faceplate, sold in 626 satin chrome, 606 satin brass and 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed. If you need a faceplate on its own, the Emtek 83228 is a square corner faceplate with screws for a tubular pocket door privacy latch. That is an Emtek pocket door privacy part, so it is not a faceplate swap for a Falcon T Series springlatch.
13) Can I use a deadbolt latch like the Emtek LC9-DBLTCH in place of this Falcon springlatch?
No. The Falcon 23981111 is a springlatch that latches automatically against the strike as the door closes, which is what a latching lockset needs. The Emtek LC9-DBLTCH is a motorized deadbolt latch in the EMPowered series, a deadbolt component driven by a motor rather than a self-latching spring latch. The two serve different bores and different functions.
14) Is this Falcon latch suitable for high-traffic buildings like schools and hospitals?
Yes. It is a commercial-grade part from the Falcon lock parts line, intended for high-use openings, and typical uses run to offices, schools, healthcare facilities, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential, and government buildings. For an MRO stock room servicing T Series hardware, stocking the 2-3/4 inch springlatch in 626 covers the most common commercial prep and finish combination.
