Falcon A8737-2 630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which lip length do I order for a 2-1/4 inch thick door on a Falcon MA Series mortise lock?
Lip length tracks door thickness on the Falcon A8737-2 lip strike. A 2 inch door takes the 1-7/16 inch lip, a 2-1/4 inch door takes the 1-9/16 inch lip, and a 2-1/2 inch door takes the 1-11/16 inch lip. So for 2-1/4 inches, order the 1-9/16 inch lip version. Measure the actual leaf, not the frame, because picking the lip off the wrong thickness leaves the latch dragging on the lip edge or the lip short of the door face.
2) Will the Falcon A8737-2 strike work on a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door?
No. The A8737-2 is the thick-door lip strike, and the thinnest option is for a 2 inch door, with 2-1/4 and 2-1/2 inch options above it. A 1-3/4 inch leaf is the standard commercial thickness and needs the standard MA Series lip strike instead, not this one. Ordering this for a 1-3/4 inch door gives you a lip that overhangs the door face.
3) Can a Deltana SP2753 or Emtek 83223 strike plate be used in place of the Falcon A8737-2 lip strike?
No. The Falcon A8737-2 is a lip strike for MA Series mortise lock installations on thick doors, sized by door thickness with matching lip lengths of 1-7/16 inch at 2 inch doors, 1-9/16 inch at 2-1/4 inch, and 1-11/16 inch at 2-1/2 inch. The Deltana SP2753 is a deadbolt strike plate measuring 2-3/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch in steel, and the Emtek 83223 is a standard deadbolt strike plate with square corners. Both are flat deadbolt strikes with no projecting lip, so neither will carry a latch bolt across the gap on a thick door the way the A8737-2 does.
4) I need a strike for a deadbolt, not a mortise latch. What should I order instead of the Falcon A8737-2?
The A8737-2 is a lip strike built for Falcon MA Series mortise lock installations, so for a deadbolt you want a dedicated deadbolt strike. The Deltana SP2753 is a 2-3/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch steel deadbolt strike plate, the Emtek 83223 is a standard deadbolt strike plate with square corners, and the Kwikset 80318 is a full round adjustable strike. Choose by the prep already cut in the jamb: square corner or radius face plate for the Deltana and Emtek style, round bore for the Kwikset 80318.
5) What is a lip strike and why does door thickness change which one I need?
A lip strike is the frame-mounted plate with a curved lip that the latchbolt rides across as the door closes, guiding it into the pocket. The lip has to reach out far enough to meet the face of the door leaf, so a thicker leaf needs a longer lip. That is why the A8737-2 comes in three lip lengths matched to 2, 2-1/4 and 2-1/2 inch doors. Too short and the latch catches the lip edge or the door edge; too long and the lip projects past the door into the opening.
6) What finishes does the Falcon A8737-2 lip strike come in, and can I match the rest of my MA Series hardware?
Five finishes, and all five are offered in every one of the three door thicknesses: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 629 bright stainless steel, 630 satin stainless, and 643E aged bronze. For a building standardized on satin stainless MA Series trim, 630 is the match; 629 is the polished stainless if the existing strikes are bright.
7) Can I use a residential deadbolt strike plate instead of the Falcon MA Series lip strike?
No, they do a different job. The A8737-2 is a lip strike for a commercial mortise latch, so it has the guiding lip the latchbolt rides over on every closing cycle. The residential-style flat strike plates we carry, like the Deltana SP2753 at 2-3/4 by 1-1/4 inches or the Emtek 83223 square-corner plate, are deadbolt strikes with no lip, meant for a bolt that is thrown by hand rather than a latch that closes against the plate. They will not substitute on an MA Series mortise lock.
8) I have a worn strike on an MA Series lock in a school corridor. Is this the right repair part?
Yes, if the leaf is 2 inches or thicker. The A8737-2 is sold as a direct replacement for worn or damaged MA Series lip strikes on commercial openings, and it is the thick-door version specifically. Confirm the leaf thickness first and order the matching lip length (1-7/16, 1-9/16 or 1-11/16 inch), then finish-match to the existing hardware.
9) Does the Falcon A8737-2 include a strike box, or do I need to order one separately?
The A8737-2 is the lip strike plate itself, a Falcon MA Series replacement part for thick door applications. If the opening also needs a box behind the strike, that is a separate item: the Kwikset 81640 is a strike box and the Kwikset 81231-001 is a metal strike dust box, both sold as their own parts. Verify the mortise pocket depth and the strike cutout in the frame before pairing a box with a mortise lip strike, since the box must clear the latch throw.
10) My jamb strike location is slightly off. Is there an adjustable alternative to the Falcon A8737-2?
The A8737-2 is a fixed lip strike matched to door thickness, with the lip length stepping from 1-7/16 inch on a 2 inch door up to 1-11/16 inch on a 2-1/2 inch door, so alignment is handled by picking the right thickness rather than by adjustment. Where an adjustable part is acceptable, the Kwikset 81825 is a 6 way adjustable deadlatch and the Kwikset 80318 is a full round adjustable strike. Those are deadbolt and deadlatch components, not MA Series mortise lip strikes, so they suit a bored-lock opening rather than a Falcon MA mortise installation.
11) We are standardizing strike hardware across a commercial building. How does the Falcon A8737-2 compare with the Codelocks ASA strike plate?
The Codelocks ASA strike plate is an ASA-format strike in stainless steel, a single standardized face designed to drop into the common ASA jamb cutout. The Falcon A8737-2 is instead a thickness-specific MA Series lip strike offered for 2 inch, 2-1/4 inch, and 2-1/2 inch doors in 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 629 bright stainless, 630 satin stainless, and 643E aged bronze. If the doors in the facility carry Falcon MA Series mortise locks and vary in thickness, the A8737-2 is matched per opening and lets you hold one finish across the building; an ASA strike suits openings already prepped to that standard cutout.
12) Is the A8737-2 a genuine Falcon part or an aftermarket strike?
It is a genuine Falcon lock part, model A8737-2, built as the OEM replacement strike for MA Series mortise lock installations. That matters on a service call because the lip geometry and the frame prep it drops into are the Falcon original, so you are not shimming or filing to make an aftermarket plate line up.
13) Do I need to specify handing when ordering the Falcon A8737-2 lip strike?
There is no handing option on the A8737-2. The three things you choose are door thickness (2, 2-1/4 or 2-1/2 inches), the lip length that goes with it, and the finish. Fifteen combinations total, five finishes across each of the three thicknesses.
