Falcon H2101 Entrance Interconnected Lock — Single Cylinder Deadbolt, Grade 2

The Falcon H2101 is a commercial-grade interconnected lock that pairs a single cylinder deadbolt with a lever-handle latchset in one integrated unit. A single interior turn of the lever simultaneously retracts both the latch and the deadbolt, satisfying Life Safety single-motion egress requirements without a second operation. Designed for multi-family entry doors, corridor access points, and fire-rated openings, the H2101 is available in two cylinder configurations — conventional 6-pin G keyway (P6) and SFIC prep less core (BD) — across seven lever styles and six finishes.

Falcon H2101P6 DAN 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I put a deadbolt on an apartment entry door and still meet single-motion egress?
That is exactly what the Falcon H2101 is built for. It is an interconnected lock: one single cylinder deadbolt and one lever latchset joined as a single unit, so one turn of the interior lever pulls the latch and the deadbolt back together. The occupant never has to throw the thumbturn first and then work the lever, which is the two-operation problem that gets a separate deadbolt rejected on a dwelling unit entry. Falcon states it meets IBC and NFPA 101 egress requirements on that basis. From the outside it is key-operated; from the inside the thumbturn throws the bolt. It is a Grade 2 lock certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.25.
2) Will the Falcon H2101 interconnected lock fit a 1-3/8 inch door?
Yes, but 1-3/8 inch is an ordered option, not what ships standard. The H2101 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch as its standard door thickness range, with 1-3/8 inch available. So a modern commercial 1-3/4 inch opening is the default case, an older 1-3/8 inch interior slab needs the thin-door version called out on the order, and a 2 inch door is still inside the standard range. Anything thicker than 2 inches is outside what this lock covers.
3) Does the Falcon H2101 come with a 2-3/4 inch backset, or do I have to specify it?
Both backsets are in the box. The H2101 is field selectable between 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch, so the installer sets it at the door rather than the buyer picking one at order time. That matters on a mixed building where the older doors are bored 2-3/8 and the newer ones 2-3/4; the same part number covers both, and you are not sorting cartons by backset on the job.
4) Is the Falcon H2101 rated for a fire door in a stairwell or corridor?
Fire rated, yes. The H2101 is 3-hour UL listed for fire-rated door assemblies and carries the UL 1-1/2 hour B label, which is the label class stairwell and corridor openings are typically hung under. The interconnected design is what makes it work there: the door still latches positively, and egress is a single motion on the lever with no separate thumbturn step, so you are not trading code compliance for security on a rated opening.
5) What is the difference between the P and BD cylinder options on the Falcon H2101, and which one works with a Best small format core system?
Two cylinder builds. P is a conventional 6-pin cylinder in the Falcon G keyway, keyed and ready to hang. BD is SFIC prep less core, meaning the lock arrives with the core cavity and no core in it; you drop in your own small format interchangeable core. BD is the one for a facility running Best, Arrow, or compatible SFIC master keying, because rekeying the building later is a core swap instead of pulling and repinning lock bodies. Order BD only if you have a core source lined up, since the lock will not operate until a core is installed. If the building has no master key system to feed, P is the simpler buy.
6) Can the Falcon H2101 be keyed on both sides instead of having a thumbturn inside?
No. The H2101 is a single cylinder lock, key outside and thumbturn inside, and there is no double cylinder version of it. That is deliberate for an egress opening, since a key-both-sides deadbolt defeats the single-motion exit the interconnected mechanism provides and is prohibited on most means-of-egress doors. If you genuinely need key operation from both faces, such as a storeroom or a glass-adjacent door where the inside is reachable, that is a separate deadbolt rather than an interconnected lock: the Hager 3214 is a Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dexter DB2000 double cylinder is Grade 2 over the same thickness range.
7) What is a straight Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt alternative when the door already has its own lockset?
The Falcon H2101 pairs a single cylinder deadbolt with a lever latchset in one interconnected unit, so on an opening that already carries a lockset only the deadbolt half is needed. The Arrow DBX61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt in a cylinder x thumbturn function, and the Dexter DB2000 single cylinder is Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn for doors 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" thick. Both are keyed outside with a thumbturn inside, matching the H2101 keyed function, but each throws its bolt independently instead of retracting with the latch on one turn of the interior lever.
8) Which other deadbolts take a small format interchangeable core so they can go on the same master key system?
The Falcon H2101 BD cylinder option is SFIC prep less core, so the building's own core drops in. Among deadbolt-only options, the Arrow E61 26D IC is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock with SFIC prep less core for doors 1-3/8" to 1-3/4", and the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 interchangeable core single deadbolt with a 2-3/4" backset. The Delaney LM Series 301702 is a Grade 1 single cylinder less core deadbolt in dull chrome US26D. Confirm core compatibility with the master key system supplier before specifying any of them.
9) The hardware schedule calls for a Grade 1 deadbolt. What can be used instead?
The Falcon H2101 is certified ANSI/BHMA Grade 2. Where the drawing calls for Grade 1, the Accentra D111 is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt with a 2-3/8" backset for 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" doors, the Dexter DB1000 single cylinder is Grade 1 cylinder x thumbturn for 1-3/8" to 1-7/8" doors, and the Deltana CL200LM is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt. Each of those is a deadbolt alone, so the latching hardware for the opening is specified separately rather than turning with the bolt on a single motion.
10) What else is fire rated for a B label stairwell or corridor opening?
The Falcon H2101 is UL listed for a 3-hour rating and carries a UL 1-1/2 hour B label. On the deadbolt-only side, the Cal-Royal CRB800 is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch. The Hager 3215, a Grade 2 commercial single cylinder deadbolt with a 1" throw for 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" doors, and the Hager 3115 cylinder x thumbturn are both fire rated. The difference in use is that the H2101 also carries the lever latchset for the opening, while the Cal-Royal and Hager bolts serve a door whose latching is handled by separate hardware.
11) What deadbolt suits a door thicker than 2 inches?
The Falcon H2101 is built for 1-3/4" to 2" doors as standard, with a 1-3/8" option. For a leaf beyond that range, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock listed for 1-3/4" to 2-1/4" doors. It is a cylinder x blank function, so it is keyed from one side with no thumbturn opposite, which is a different operation from the H2101 exterior key and interior thumbturn.
12) The opening needs a key on both sides. What takes the place of a single cylinder interconnected lock?
The Falcon H2101 is a single cylinder function, keyed outside with a thumbturn inside, and one turn of the interior lever pulls the latch and the deadbolt together. Where the inside face must also be keyed, the Hager 3214 is a Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt on the Schlage C keyway for 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" doors and is fire rated, the Dexter DB2000 double cylinder is Grade 2 for the same thickness range, and the Design Hardware D1 Series is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty double cylinder deadbolt for 1-3/4" doors. A double cylinder requires a key to withdraw the bolt from the inside rather than a turn, so verify the egress requirements for the opening before switching.
13) Do I need to know the handing before I order a Falcon H2101?
No. Handing on the H2101 is field reversible, set on site, so there is no left-hand or right-hand version to call out on the purchase order. For a property manager or contractor buying a quantity for a floor of doors, that means one part number covers every opening regardless of swing, and a lock pulled off a spare shelf works on whichever door fails next.
14) I just need a deadbolt on the door, not a lever set. Is the Falcon H2101 overkill?
Probably, yes. The H2101 bundles a deadbolt and a lever latchset into one interconnected unit, which is what you want when the door needs both and has to open in a single motion. If the door already has a working knob or lever and you only want to add a bolt, buy a deadbolt on its own: the Arrow DBX61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt, the Hager 3215 is a Grade 2 commercial deadbolt with a 1 inch throw for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin DL3011 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock covering 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors. Note that a standalone deadbolt over a separate latchset is two operations to exit, so it is not the right answer on a dwelling unit entry or a required egress door.
15) My spec calls for a Grade 1 deadbolt. What grade is the Falcon H2101?
Grade 2, certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.25, the interconnected lock standard. If the drawing calls out Grade 1 specifically, the H2101 will not satisfy it and you are looking at a separate deadbolt plus a separate lockset instead. Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolts include the Dexter DB1000, which covers 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, the Cal-Royal CRB800 heavy duty deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch, and the Delaney LM Series less core deadbolt for SFIC buildings. Where the spec is written around the door assembly rather than a grade number, the A156.25 listing on the H2101 is what an inspector is looking for on an interconnected unit.
16) I am swapping a lever lock and a separate deadbolt for one Falcon H2101. What do I have to check on the door and frame?
Three things. The H2101 goes into a standard cylindrical prep, so a bored door is the starting point rather than a mortise pocket. Door thickness has to land in 1-3/4 to 2 inch, or you order the 1-3/8 inch version. And because the deadbolt and the latch are both part of the one unit, the frame needs strike preparation for each of them, not just for the latch you already have. Backset is not a constraint here since the lock is field selectable between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch. Falcon also asks that stile width be verified before ordering.
17) How do I get a deadbolt that cannot be thrown or released from the inside without a key?
The Falcon H2101 puts a thumbturn on the inside face as part of its single cylinder function. Where an occupant should not be able to work the bolt by hand, the Corbin Russwin DL2211 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock in a cylinder x blank function in a classroom application for 1-3/4" doors, and the Corbin Russwin DL3211 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock, cylinder x blank, also for 1-3/4" doors. The Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt on the Schlage C keyway with a 6-pin cylinder for 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" doors and is fire rated.
18) The building keys on Schlage C. Which deadbolt matches that keyway?
The Falcon H2101 conventional cylinder is a 6-pin G keyway, and its BD option is prepped for a small format interchangeable core so it can accept the core a Best, Arrow or compatible system already uses. For a building keyed on Schlage C, the Hager 3115 is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt on the Schlage C keyway, the Hager 3214 is the double cylinder on the same keyway, and the Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway and 6-pin cylinder. All three fit 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" doors and are fire rated.
19) The Emtek 2050 also combines a deadbolt and a latch. Does it do the same job?
Both put a bolt and a latch into one lock, but they go into different doors. The Emtek 2050 is a European mortise deadbolt with an integrated roller latch in a square trim, the 2051 is the round version, and both are cylinder x thumbturn functions that need a mortise pocket cut into the door edge. The Falcon H2101 installs into a standard cylindrical prep and its interior lever retracts the latch and the deadbolt in one motion, where the Emtek pair holds the door closed on a roller latch rather than a lever-operated latchbolt.
20) What replaces a keyed interconnected lock on a door that does not need to be keyed at all?
The Falcon H2101 is keyed, with an exterior cylinder and an interior thumbturn. On an exit or interior door where no key is wanted, the Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 non-keyed exit deadlock in a blank plate x thumbturn function for 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" doors, so it throws only from the inside and presents a blank plate outside. That also means it gives no exterior control of the opening, which the keyed H2101 does.
21) Is the Arrow 460 latchbolt and deadbolt strike an alternative?
No. The Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike with a straight lip, the frame-side plate that receives a lock throwing a latchbolt and a deadbolt on a 1-3/4" door. It is not a lock and has no cylinder, bolt or lever. The Falcon H2101 is the lock itself, an entrance interconnected lock with a single cylinder deadbolt and a lever latchset. The Arrow 460 is also cut for a mortise lock body, not for the cylindrical prep the H2101 uses.
22) Will the Falcon H2101 match the Schlage hardware already in my building?
On finish, yes. The H2101 comes in 605 Bright Brass, 619 Satin Nickel, 622 Matte Black, 625 Bright Chrome, 626 Satin Chrome and 643E Aged Bronze, and Falcon states these finish codes align with Falcon and Schlage product lines so a hardware schedule stays consistent across a project. If the rest of the building is 626, order 626 here and it belongs on the same corridor. What it will not do is key into a Schlage system on the conventional cylinder, which is a Falcon G keyway; matching keying across brands is what the SFIC option is for.
23) What lever styles can I get on the Falcon H2101 interconnected lock?
Seven levers: Avalon, Boardwalk, Broadway, Dane, Latitude, Longitude and Quantum. All seven are lever trim, not knobs, which is what a multi-family or institutional building generally needs for accessible operation. Any of them can be combined with the six available finishes, so a hardware schedule can hold one lever profile across a whole property and vary only the finish where the design calls for it.
24) Does the Falcon H2101 have a keypad or any electronic access control?
No, the H2101 is purely mechanical: key outside, thumbturn inside, no credential reader, no keypad, no wiring. If the opening needs electronic access, that is a different product entirely. The Dormakaba Saffire LX-D is an RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and electronic lock override, the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote, and the Codelocks CL2200 is an electronic surface deadbolt. Be aware that swapping to a standalone electronic deadbolt gives up the interconnected single-motion egress the H2101 provides, so check the egress requirement on the door before you make that trade.
25) What is a lighter duty deadbolt for interior or low traffic openings that do not need Grade 2 commercial certification?
The Falcon H2101 is a commercial Grade 2 assembly built for entry, corridor and fire rated openings. On a door that is not carrying that duty, the Cal-Royal ED500 is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an adjustable backset for 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" doors, the Cal-Royal LSD is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an ADA ergonomic thumbturn for the same thickness range, and the Callan Model 200S is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with square trim. All three are cylinder x thumbturn deadbolts on their own and carry no lever latchset with them.
26) Are the BEST 8T tube or the Baldwin Reserve deadbolt spacer usable as a replacement lock?
Neither is a lock. The BEST 8T is the tubular deadbolt tube component out of the T Series, a piece of a deadbolt assembly rather than a complete one, and the Baldwin Reserve 8BR0618001 is a deadbolt spacer for a double cylinder application. Both are ordered to complete or adapt an assembly already on the door. The Falcon H2101 ships as a complete entrance interconnected lock with the deadbolt, the lever latchset and the cylinder configuration selected at order time.
