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.

- Field Reversible: Handing is set on-site; no need to specify left- or right-hand at order time.
- Finish Compatibility: Finish codes align with Falcon and Schlage product lines for consistent hardware schedules across a project.
