Standard cylindrical locks typically fit doors from 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" thick. Verify your specific door thickness and check manufacturer specifications for exact compatibility requirements.
3) How do I determine the correct handing for this lever lock?
Stand on the side where the door opens toward you. If hinges are on your right, it's right-handed. If hinges are on your left, it's left-handed. Most cylindrical locks are reversible during installation.

Falcon typically offers multiple finish options including satin chrome, bright brass, and oil-rubbed bronze. Check product specifications for available finishes and match to your building's hardware standards.

6) Can this lock be keyed to match existing cylinders?
Yes, the cylindrical design allows for keying to existing systems. Provide your key code or sample key to a locksmith for proper cylinder preparation and master key integration.
7) What accessories are needed for installation?
Installation typically requires a compatible strike plate and may need door reinforcement plates. Check if your door prep matches standard 2-1/8" bore and 1" cross bore specifications.

9) How do I adjust the lever return spring tension?
Most Falcon cylindrical locks have internal spring mechanisms that are factory-set. If lever droop occurs, check for worn components or contact manufacturer for adjustment procedures specific to your model.
