Falcon A12636-000-00 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Falcon A12636 bottom pin used for?
The A12636-000-00 is a genuine Falcon bottom pin for the A2 cylinder system, sold 100 to a pack. Bottom pins are the pins that ride directly on the key cuts, so this is the part you consume when re-pinning or re-keying a Falcon A2 cylinder to a new key. It is a commercial lock part, not a complete cylinder, so you still need the cylinder, top pins and springs to finish a build.
2) What do the numbers 0 through 9 mean when ordering Falcon A12636 bottom pins?
Each pack is ordered by a single pin size, numbered 0 through 9. In a pin tumbler system the number corresponds to the key cut depth that pin serves, so a 0 is the shortest bottom pin and a 9 the longest. Pick the size you are short of, or buy across the range if you are stocking a re-keying bench. All ten sizes are offered.
3) If re-pinning a Falcon cylinder is not worth the labor, what complete cylinder can be installed instead of ordering bottom pins?
The Falcon A12636-000-00 bottom pin is a loose pinning component for the A2 cylinder system, so it only helps if the existing cylinder is being re-pinned on the bench. When replacing the whole cylinder is the better call, a mortise cylinder such as the Corbin Russwin 1000 Grade 1 series 1-1/2 inch with an A02 straight cam, or the Corbin Russwin 1070 Grade 1 series 1-1/4 inch 6-pin housing with an A01 cloverleaf cam, arrives as a finished assembly. For rim device applications the Schlage Commercial 20-021 rim cylinder is 6-pin with a vertical tailpiece cam and the 20-022 is the same 6-pin rim cylinder with a horizontal tailpiece cam, so the cam orientation is matched to the device rather than pinned in the shop.
4) For a facility that re-keys often, is there an alternative to stocking loose bottom pins?
Stocking the Falcon A12636-000-00 bottom pin in 100-piece packs supports re-pinning A2 system cylinders on the bench, which is the traditional approach to key control. A facility that would rather swap rather than re-pin can standardize on interchangeable core hardware instead: the BEST 1CB Peaks 150 series interchangeable core cylinder, the BEST 1CDF drill resistant patented interchangeable core 7-pin brass 150 series core, or the Schlage 20-057 6-pin full size interchangeable core rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam. With those, a key change is a core exchange rather than a pinning operation, so the shop carries cores instead of pin kits.
5) Is a 100-pack of bottom pins too much for a small property with a few Falcon locks?
For one or two cylinders it is far more than you need, since each cylinder uses only five or six bottom pins. The 100-piece pack is sized for locksmiths and in-house maintenance crews re-keying many cylinders, running a key control program, or keeping a pinning kit stocked. If you only need to service a couple of doors, a complete replacement cylinder is usually the simpler buy.
6) Can I re-key a Falcon A2 cylinder with just these bottom pins, or do I need more parts?
Bottom pins alone will not complete a re-key. The A12636 covers only the bottom pin position; a full re-pin also needs the matching top (driver) pins and springs, plus the correct cut key. Order the bottom pin sizes your new key code calls for and have the rest of the pinning components on hand before you tear the cylinder down.
7) I need a complete cylinder, not pins. What should I be looking at instead?
The A12636 is a loose bottom pin, so it is the wrong item if a cylinder has failed outright. For a whole cylinder, comparable options include the Corbin Russwin 1000 Grade 1 mortise cylinder in 1-1/2 inch with an A02 straight cam, the Corbin Russwin 3070 six-pin rim cylinder housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece, or the Schlage 20-021 rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam. Match the cam or tailpiece to the lock you are feeding.
8) Will Falcon A12636 bottom pins work in a Schlage C keyway or BEST core?
The Falcon A12636-000-00 bottom pin is a genuine Falcon part engineered specifically for the Falcon A2 cylinder system, so it should be ordered for A2 system service work rather than treated as a universal pin. Cylinders built on other keying platforms are keyed as their own assemblies: the Detex MC65 mortise cylinder is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin unit in the Schlage C keyway, the Schlage 20-057-C is a full size interchangeable core in the C keyway, and the BEST 1C series core is a standard 5-pin cylinder core. Those are ordered as complete cylinders or cores for their own systems.
9) What should be ordered instead of Falcon bottom pins for a residential handleset or Kwikset deadbolt re-key?
The Falcon A12636-000-00 bottom pin is a commercial part for Falcon A2 system cylinders, so it is not the item for residential-style handleset and deadbolt work. Retrofit cylinders exist for those openings: the Medeco 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, the Medeco 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, the Medeco 1065244 is a 5-pin lazy motion rim cylinder with an Emtek tailpiece, and the Kaba Ilco 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder. Each ships as a complete cylinder for the lock body it is cut for.
10) Do Falcon A12636 bottom pins replace a cylinder on an aluminum storefront deadlock?
No. The Falcon A12636-000-00 bottom pin is an internal pinning component for Falcon A2 system cylinders and does not address the trim or cylinder hardware on a narrow stile storefront deadlock. For those openings, 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 made for the Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock/deadlatch, the Adams Rite 4026 five pin tumbler cylinder pull is for the 5017 wood door deadlock/deadlatch, and the Adams Rite 4036 mortise cylinder is a Grade 1 five-pin cylinder with a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness.
11) What is the equivalent part to a Falcon A12636 bottom pin when the cylinder being serviced is a Sargent or Arrow lock?
The Falcon A12636-000-00 bottom pin is specific to Falcon A2 system cylinders, so other manufacturers' locks are usually handled with a replacement cylinder rather than a Falcon pin. The Kaba Ilco 1579 knob and lever cylinder is built for Sargent, the Kaba Ilco 1539 is a key-in-knob and lever universal cylinder, the Kaba Ilco 1549 is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder, and the Medeco 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit cylinder for the Arrow JL interconnected lock and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinder. Those drop into the host lock as complete units instead of requiring a pinning operation.
12) Are these genuine Falcon parts or aftermarket pins?
Genuine Falcon lock parts, sourced from Falcon's own parts program, so the pin dimensions match the A2 system as designed. That matters on a keying job because an out-of-tolerance bottom pin is what makes a cylinder bind or a master key fail to turn.
13) Are Falcon A12636 bottom pins suitable for a school or hospital keying program?
Yes, this is a commercial-duty part and it is the sort of consumable a facility keying program runs through. Typical use is office buildings, schools, healthcare, government buildings, warehouses and multi-tenant residential, wherever Falcon A2 cylinders are already standardized and cylinders get re-keyed on tenant or staff turnover.
14) Is there a cylinder option for an opening that needs the look of a cylinder but no keying at all?
Bottom pins such as the Falcon A12636-000-00 are only used where a cylinder is actually being keyed or re-keyed within the A2 system. For an opening that needs a cylinder body with no key function, the BEST 12E series dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter fills the prep without pinning. The Emtek CY4 cylinder, sold each, is another single-unit cylinder option rather than a bulk pinning component.
