Falcon A8737-1 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon A8737-1 strike plate work with Falcon MA Series mortise locks?
That's exactly what the A8737-1 is built for. It's the genuine Falcon strike plate for MA Series mortise locks, so it drops into the existing frame prep without modification when you're swapping out a worn or damaged strike. The curved lip guides the latch into the pocket, which is what keeps a mortise latch engaging cleanly on a door that gets heavy use.
2) What lip length does the Falcon A8737-1 strike have, and how do I know it's the right one for my frame?
The A8737-1 carries a 1-1/4 inch lip, which is Falcon's standard lip length for MA Series mortise locks. Measure from the center of the screw line out to the edge of the existing lip on the strike you're pulling off. If yours projects further than 1-1/4 inch, it was an extended-lip strike ordered to clear a deep frame reveal or applied stop, and the standard 1-1/4 inch plate will leave the latch rubbing the frame instead of riding the lip.
3) Can a Deltana SP2753 strike plate be used in place of a Falcon A8737-1 on an MA Series mortise lock?
They serve different latches. The Falcon A8737-1 is a curved lip strike with a 1-1/4 inch lip built for Falcon MA Series mortise locks, where the curved lip guides the mortise latchbolt into the pocket. The Deltana SP2753 is a deadbolt strike plate, 2-3/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch in steel, so it is prepped for a deadbolt throw rather than a mortise lock latch and lip. If the door carries an MA Series mortise lock, the A8737-1 is the matching part.
4) What finishes does the Falcon A8737-1 strike plate come in, and can I match the rest of my hardware?
Six finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, and 643E aged bronze. Those are standard BHMA finish numbers, so if you know the finish code on the MA Series lock already in the door you can order the strike to match it exactly rather than eyeballing it. Satin chrome (626) is the usual choice on commercial openings.
5) My tenant door latch keeps catching on the frame instead of latching. Will a new strike plate fix it?
Often yes, if the problem is a worn or bent lip. A curved lip strike works by deflecting the latchbolt into the pocket as the door swings shut; once that lip is flattened, chewed up, or the plate has loosened and shifted, the latch hits the frame face instead. Replacing with the A8737-1 restores the original lip profile and pocket alignment on an MA Series mortise lock. If the door itself has sagged or the frame has racked, the strike is not the fix and you'll need to address the hinges or alignment first.
6) I have a euro-profile or ASA prep frame. Can I use the Falcon A8737-1?
No. The A8737-1 is cut for Falcon MA Series mortise lock prep, not ASA prep. For an ASA-prepped frame, the Codelocks ASA strike plate in stainless is the part that matches that prep. Confirm which prep your frame has before ordering, because the two plate outlines are not interchangeable.
7) What strike should I use for a residential deadbolt instead of the Falcon A8737-1?
For a deadbolt bore rather than a mortise lock, look at the Emtek 83223 standard deadbolt strike plate with square corners, or the Kwikset 80318 full round adjustable strike. Both are deadbolt strike plates, while the Falcon A8737-1 is a curved lip strike made to pair with Falcon MA Series mortise locks. The square corner Emtek suits a square-routed strike mortise; the Kwikset full round suits a drilled round prep and allows adjustment.
8) I need the dust box behind the strike, not the strike plate itself. Is the Falcon A8737-1 the right part?
No. The Falcon A8737-1 is the visible curved lip strike plate that mounts to the jamb face and guides the MA Series mortise latch. If you need the enclosed box that catches the bolt behind the jamb, the Kwikset 81231-001 metal strike dust box and the Kwikset 81640 strike box are the parts that do that job. They are separate components from the face plate.
9) My jamb strike prep does not line up. Is there an adjustable strike instead of the Falcon A8737-1?
The Falcon A8737-1 is a fixed curved lip strike sized to Falcon MA Series mortise lock prep, so alignment comes from the existing mortise pocket. If the opening needs tolerance in the strike itself, the Kwikset 81825 is a 6 way adjustable deadlatch and the Kwikset 80318 is a full round adjustable strike. Both are deadbolt strike plates, so they are aimed at bored deadbolt and latch preps rather than mortise lock jambs.
10) Is this strike plate rated for commercial traffic, or is it a residential part?
Commercial. The A8737-1 is part of Falcon's commercial door hardware line and is intended for high-traffic openings, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouse, multi-tenant residential and government buildings. The residential-grade strikes in this category, the Kwikset parts for example, are built around residential deadbolt prep and are not a substitute in a mortise lock frame.
11) Do I need a strike box or dust box with the Falcon A8737-1?
The A8737-1 is the strike plate itself, sold as a replacement component. If you're cutting a fresh mortise pocket rather than reusing an existing one and want the cavity lined, that's a separate box part, and the boxes we carry in this category are residential deadbolt items such as the Kwikset 81231-001 metal strike dust box and the Kwikset 81640 strike box. For a straight swap on a frame already prepped for an MA Series mortise lock, you're reusing the existing pocket and just the plate changes.
12) How does the Codelocks ASA strike plate differ from the Falcon A8737-1?
The Codelocks ASA strike plate is an ASA series strike in a stainless steel finish, supplied to match Codelocks hardware. The Falcon A8737-1 is a commercial replacement curved lip strike with a 1-1/4 inch lip built for Falcon MA Series mortise locks, and it is offered in 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome and 643E aged bronze so the jamb can be matched to the rest of the trim on the opening.
