Falcon A22161-005-00 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Falcon A22161-005-00 backset link actually do?
It is the linkage that adapts a Falcon X-Series lockset to a 5 inch backset while using the 2-3/4 inch latch. The lock case sits 5 inches from the door edge, and the link carries the retractor motion out to the latch so the latch still works normally. It is a service part, not a complete lock, so you keep your existing latch, chassis and trim.
2) Can I use a Kwikset or Deltana adjustable-backset latch instead of the Falcon A22161-005-00 backset link?
No. The Falcon A22161-005-00 is a backset link for the 2-3/4 inch latch on Falcon X-Series locksets - an internal linkage component that sets the 5 inch backset geometry, not a latch assembly with a faceplate and bolt. Parts like the Kwikset 84290 square corner plainlatch with a 2-3/8 inch backset or the Deltana DLP23875 drive-in latch with adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset are complete latch units for tubular locksets and do not drive an X-Series mechanism. For an X-Series lock running a 5 inch backset, order the Falcon part.
3) I need a 2-3/4 inch backset latch for a wood door with a standard bore - what should I look at instead?
The Falcon A22161-005-00 is a service part for Falcon X-Series commercial locksets and only fits that platform. For a standard tubular bore in a wood door, a drive-in latch with adjustable backset covers 2-3/4 inch directly: the Deltana DLP23875 is adjustable to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch in a passage/privacy function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Deltana DLE23875 is the entry-function counterpart for the same door thickness range.
4) Does the A22161-005-00 come with the latch, or do I need to order that separately?
The A22161-005-00 is the backset link only. It is designed to work with the 2-3/4 inch latch used on X-Series locksets, so if your latch is worn or missing you will need to source that separately. One SKU covers this part, with no finish or size options to specify.
5) Can I use a generic drive-in latch instead of the Falcon X-Series backset link?
No, they solve different problems. A drive-in latch such as the Deltana DLP23875, which adjusts between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backsets for passage and privacy, or the Deltana DLE23875 entry version for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick, replaces the latch itself in a bored door. The Falcon link is an internal X-Series component that extends the lock's action out to a 5 inch backset. If your Falcon X-Series lock needs the 5 inch link, only the Falcon part will fit.
6) My opening is fire-rated - does the Falcon A22161-005-00 backset link cover that, or do I need a UL-listed latch?
The A22161-005-00 is a commercial-grade backset link that restores latch geometry inside a Falcon X-Series lockset; it is a linkage component rather than a latch rated on its own. Where a UL-listed latch unit is what the opening calls for on a tubular residential-style lock, the Kwikset 83521 RCAL plain latch is UL 3 hour for BBL, KNL, CNL and PLL trim, and the Kwikset 83518 RCAL adjustable square drive latch is also UL 3 hour. Those are separate lock platforms - for a Falcon X-Series opening, keep the Falcon part and confirm the rating on the complete lockset.
7) Is this Falcon part suitable for a school or hospital door, or is it residential grade?
It is a commercial-grade component intended for high-use openings, and Falcon lists it for office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential and government buildings. For a facility standardizing on Falcon X-Series, it is the correct factory service part to stock for 5 inch backset openings.
8) Is the A22161-005-00 a genuine Falcon part or an aftermarket copy?
It is an authentic Falcon component from the brand's own parts line, model A22161-005-00, which is what keeps the X-Series assembly to original equipment specification after a repair.
