Falcon A8737-5 630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the 7/8 inch lip on the Falcon A8737-5 strike mean for my frame?
The lip is the curved tab that projects past the frame face to guide the latch. At 7/8 inch, this strike suits openings where the frame sits close to the door face. If your existing strike has a longer lip because the jamb is deeper or trimmed out, the latch will drag on the stop with a 7/8 inch lip. Measure from the frame's stop face to the outside edge of the lip on the strike you're pulling off and match that number.
2) What strike plate should I use for a deadbolt instead of the Falcon A8737-5?
The Falcon A8737-5 is a 7/8 inch lip strike for Falcon MA Series mechanical locksets, so it is matched to a latch-style lockset rather than a deadbolt bore. For a deadbolt opening, the Deltana SP2753 is a 2-3/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch steel strike plate for deadbolt function, and the Emtek 83223 is a standard deadbolt strike plate with square corners. Kwikset also offers the 80318 full round adjustable strike for deadbolt function if the frame prep is round rather than square.
3) What finishes does the Falcon A8737-5 MA Series strike come in?
Two: 630 satin stainless and 643E aged bronze. For a property manager matching the rest of an opening, 630 is the common commercial finish and pairs with satin stainless levers and hinges; 643E is the darker bronze option. Order the strike in the same finish code as the MA lockset on the door so the visible frame plate matches.
4) Why is the A8737-5 called an optional strike instead of the standard one?
MA Series locksets ship with a standard strike, and the A8737-5 is one of the alternates you specify when the frame condition calls for a different lip. Installers pick it when the standard lip length does not suit the jamb. That also makes it the part to order on its own when you're replacing a damaged strike rather than the whole lock.
5) I need a strike for a frame that isn't perfectly aligned. Is this the right part?
No. The Falcon A8737-5 is a fixed strike with a set 7/8 inch lip and no adjustment. If your latch isn't meeting the keeper squarely, an adjustable strike is the better fix, such as the Kwikset 80318 full round adjustable strike or the Kwikset 81825 six way adjustable deadlatch.
6) Is the Codelocks ASA strike plate a substitute for the Falcon A8737-5?
No. The Codelocks ASA strike plate is an ASA-series strike in a stainless steel finish, sized to the ASA pattern, while the Falcon A8737-5 is built specifically to the Falcon MA Series lock line with a 7/8 inch lip for correct latch engagement on that lockset. They are not interchangeable preps. If the door already carries MA Series hardware, stay with the A8737-5; the ASA plate belongs to a different frame prep standard.
7) I need a strike box or dust box, not a face plate - what are my options?
The Falcon A8737-5 is the strike plate itself, the visible lipped plate that mounts to the frame for MA Series locksets. If the part you are missing is the enclosure behind the plate, Kwikset offers the 81640 strike box and the 81231-001 metal strike dust box, both deadbolt strike components. Order the box separately from the plate; they serve different parts of the frame prep.
8) My frame alignment is off - is there an adjustable strike I can use in place of the Falcon A8737-5?
The Falcon A8737-5 is a fixed 7/8 inch lip strike, so the lip projection is set rather than adjustable. Where the frame or door gap needs to be taken up, Kwikset offers the 80318 full round adjustable strike and the 81825 six way adjustable deadlatch, both deadbolt strike components. Note that those are Kwikset parts on a deadbolt prep, so confirm the existing frame cutout before swapping away from the MA Series strike.
9) Which of these strike plates is specified for commercial openings?
The Falcon A8737-5 is a commercial replacement part for the MA Series mechanical lock line, used in offices, schools, healthcare, retail, and government buildings, and it comes in 630 satin stainless and 643E aged bronze. Among the alternatives, the Emtek 83223 and the Deltana SP2753 are deadbolt strike plates, and the Kwikset 80318, 81640, 81231-001 and 81825 are deadbolt strike components - all sized to deadbolt preps rather than to an MA Series lockset. For standardizing strikes across a facility already running Falcon MA Series, the A8737-5 keeps the prep and lip dimension consistent.
10) Is the Falcon A8737-5 strike plate rated for commercial traffic?
It's a commercial part, built for the MA Series commercial lock line and used in offices, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouse, multi-tenant residential, and government buildings. It is not a residential-grade strike.
11) Do I need a dust box or strike box with the Falcon A8737-5?
The A8737-5 is the strike plate itself. If your frame prep is open behind the strike and you want the latch cavity boxed in, that's a separate item, for example the Kwikset 81640 strike box or the Kwikset 81231-001 metal strike dust box. Hollow metal frames with factory ASA prep usually already have the pocket formed.
