Falcon 23981145 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon 23981145 deadlatch fit a door bored for a 2-3/8 inch backset?
No. The Falcon 23981145 is a fixed 2-3/4 inch backset deadlatch, so it needs a cross-bore centered 2-3/4 inches from the door edge. On a 2-3/8 inch prep it won't reach the bore. If you need one part that covers both preps, the Deltana DLP23875 drive-in latch is adjustable between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches, and the Kwikset 84290 square corner plainlatch is a 2-3/8 inch backset part.
2) What size is the faceplate on the Falcon 23981145 latch, and is it square or radius corner?
The faceplate measures 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inches with square corners, which matches a standard square-corner mortise pocket in the door edge. If the latch you are pulling out has rounded (radius) corners, this one will leave a gap at the corners unless you square the mortise.
3) Is the Falcon 23981145 an OEM replacement part for Falcon T Series locksets?
Yes. It is a genuine Falcon replacement deadlatch built for compatible T Series locksets, form-fit-function interchangeable with the original latch in that lockset. Model number is 23981145.
4) What is the difference between the Falcon 23981145 deadlatch and the Kwikset 84290 square corner plainlatch?
Both are square corner latches, but they differ in backset and in latch type. The Falcon 23981145 is a T Series deadlatch with a 2-3/4 inch backset and a 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch faceplate, built for commercial mechanical lock applications. The Kwikset 84290 is a plainlatch with a 2-3/8 inch backset. A plainlatch has no deadlocking plunger, so it will not provide the anti-shim deadlatching action the Falcon unit gives; and at 2-3/8 inches it fits a different bore-to-edge dimension than the Falcon's 2-3/4 inch prep.
5) I need a latch for a door where the backset could be either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches. Is the Falcon 23981145 the right choice?
No. The Falcon 23981145 is fixed at a 2-3/4 inch backset, so it only suits a prep bored at that dimension. For an opening where the backset has to be confirmed on site or may be either, the Deltana DLP23875 drive-in latch has an adjustable backset of 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches in a passage/privacy function, and the Deltana DLE23875 drive-in latch covers the entry function. Note both Deltana units are drive-in style rather than faceplate style, so the door edge prep differs from the Falcon's 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch square corner faceplate mortise.
6) My opening needs a fire-rated latch. Does the Falcon 23981145 deadlatch carry a UL rating, or is there an alternative?
For openings where a UL fire rating has to be documented on the latch itself, the Kwikset 83521 RCAL plain latch and the Kwikset 83518 RCAL adjustable square drive latch are both UL 3 hour latches, and the Kwikset 84290 square corner plainlatch is also UL listed at a 2-3/8 inch backset. The Falcon 23981145 is the T Series OEM replacement deadlatch at a 2-3/4 inch backset with a 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch square corner faceplate, which is the part to order when you are restoring a Falcon T Series lockset to its original form, fit and function.
7) What finishes does the Falcon 23981145 T Series deadlatch come in?
Five: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 622 matte black, and 626 satin chrome. Match the latch finish to the lever or knob trim already on the door, since the faceplate is the only visible piece once the door is closed.
8) Is this deadlatch a deadbolt, or the latch for the knob/lever?
It's the latch that operates with the knob or lever, not a deadbolt. A deadlatch has a spring latchbolt with a small deadlocking plunger alongside it that blocks the bolt from being pushed back once the door closes against the strike. If you actually need a motorized deadbolt latch, that is a different part such as the Emtek LC9-DBLTCH EMPowered motorized deadbolt latch.
9) I manage a building with mixed Falcon locks. Can I stock one latch for all of them?
Only for the openings prepped at 2-3/4 inch backset with a square-corner faceplate mortise. The 23981145 is fixed at that backset, so doors bored at 2-3/8 inches, or with radius corner faceplates, need a different latch. Walk the doors and note backset and corner style before you standardize on this one.
10) Is the Emtek 83228 faceplate a substitute for the Falcon 23981145?
No. The Emtek 83228 is a faceplate and screws only, for a tubular pocket door privacy latch in a privacy/bed/bath function - it is the trim plate, not a latch mechanism. The Falcon 23981145 is a complete T Series replacement deadlatch including its 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch square corner faceplate and a 2-3/4 inch backset latch body. If the latch itself is worn or failing, the Emtek part will not address it.
11) Can I use the Falcon 23981145 in place of a deadbolt latch?
No. The Falcon 23981145 is a spring-latch style T Series deadlatch that retracts with the lever or knob and is used with a mechanical lockset. A deadbolt is a separate throw bolt with its own body - for example the Emtek LC9-DBLTCH is a motorized deadbolt latch in the EMPowered series. If the door has a deadbolt bore that needs filling, the Falcon deadlatch will not serve it; if the latch in a Falcon T Series lockset is the failed part, the 23981145 is the direct replacement in 2-3/4 inch backset.
12) Does the Falcon 23981145 come with a strike plate or screws?
It is sold as the deadlatch unit itself, a replacement latch for T Series locksets. If you also need strike hardware or a separate faceplate, order that separately; for example the Emtek 83228 is a faceplate-and-screws pack for a tubular pocket door privacy latch, and Kwikset 83518 and 83521 are separate strike plate parts.
