Falcon K301S A 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Falcon K301 come in a 2-3/8 inch backset for a residential-prep door?
Both backsets are orderable. The K301 ships standard on a 2-3/4 inch backset, which is the usual commercial prep, and a 2-3/8 inch backset is selectable at order time for doors bored to the shallower residential prep. Pick the one that matches the existing cross-bore centre; the chassis is otherwise the same lock.
2) Can I use a Falcon K301 on a fire rated bathroom door?
Yes. The K301 is UL Listed to a 3 hour A label, so it can go on a fire rated opening with a privacy function. Privacy is the right function for a single-occupancy restroom or a patient room: it locks from inside without a key cylinder on either face.
3) Do I have to order a left hand and right hand version of the Falcon K301?
No handing to specify. The K301 levers are non-handed, so one part number works on either swing. For a property manager or a maintenance shop that means one lock on the shelf covers every door in the building rather than stocking pairs.
4) What is ANSI F76 and is the Falcon K301 really Grade 1?
F76 is the ANSI/BHMA function designation for the bed/bath privacy lock, and the K301 carries it along with Grade 1 certification at a heavy duty level. Grade 1 is the highest of the three ANSI/BHMA operational grades and is what a facility spec normally calls for on commercial openings, so this satisfies a Grade 1 line item where a Grade 2 privacy lock would not.
5) Is the Falcon K301 a keyed lock, and can I get it in a keyed function instead?
The K301 is non-keyed. There is no cylinder and no keyway to specify, which is why it suits bed, bath and single-occupancy restroom doors. If the opening needs key control, this is the wrong part; a Dexter C1000 entry/office or classroom lever is a Grade 1 keyed cylindrical alternative, and the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever comes in a 6-pin Schlage C keyway if you are keying to an existing Schlage C system.
6) What is the closest Grade 1 privacy cylindrical alternative to the Falcon K301 if a knob is acceptable instead of a lever?
The Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 1 privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob, non-keyed, and it carries a fire rating. The Falcon K301 covers the same privacy/bed/bath function at Grade 1 in a lever configuration with non-handed levers and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. The MK02-TA is listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, so the two cover different thickness bands: choose the K301 where the door is thinner than 1-3/4 inch, and the MK02-TA where a knob trim is wanted on a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door.
7) The door does not need to lock at all - what takes the place of a privacy lockset on a hall or closet door?
A passage function lever is the right part where the door only needs to latch. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet cylindrical lever lock with a fire rating, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Falcon K301 is a privacy/bed/bath lock, which adds interior locking with an emergency release, so it is the wrong function on a closet or corridor door that must stay operable from both sides at all times.
8) What replaces a privacy lever on a patient room or behavioral health door where staff must always be able to enter?
An asylum or institution function lock is the part for that opening. The Dexter C1000 Series asylum lock is Grade 1 with the F87 asylum/institution/utility function for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a heavy duty asylum function cylindrical lock with a ball knob and conventional cylinder in a Schlage C keyway. The Falcon K301 is an F76 privacy/bed/bath lock, non-keyed, so it is keyed-side blind - use it on toilet and bedroom doors where an emergency release is enough, and the asylum function where staff need key control on both faces.
9) The opening needs a key on the outside as well as privacy inside - what should be ordered instead?
A privacy lock cannot be keyed. The Falcon K301 is non-keyed with an F76 privacy/bed/bath function. For an opening needing outside key control, the Dexter C1000 Series entry/office lock is Grade 1 keyed with a clutching lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dexter C1000 classroom lock is Grade 1 keyed for the same thickness range, and the Hager 2580 with Withnell lever is a Grade 2 storeroom lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Which of those applies depends on whether the outside lever should be free, locked by key, or always locked.
10) What lever styles and finishes can I get on the Falcon K301?
Three lever designs, Avalon (A), Dane (D) and Quantum (Q), each available in 626 satin chrome or 613 oil-rubbed satin bronze. That is the full set of six combinations, so any lever style pairs with either finish. Satin chrome is the usual match for institutional openings; 613 suits hospitality and multi-family where the rest of the trim is dark bronze.
11) What is the difference between a privacy lever and a passage lever for a restroom door?
A privacy lever like the K301 locks from the inside so the room can be secured while occupied. A passage lever never locks at all, it just latches, and belongs on corridor and closet doors. If you have picked a privacy lock for a door that only needs to stay shut, a passage lockset is the cheaper correct part, for example the Corbin Russwin CL3110 in Grade 1 or the Hager 2510 in Grade 2.
12) Will the lever break if someone forces it while the door is locked?
The K301 uses a clutching lever, so when the lock is engaged the lever turns freely without driving the retractor. Force on a locked lever spins the trim instead of loading the chassis, which is the usual failure point on privacy locks in high-traffic restrooms. The chassis is brass or steel, zinc plated and dichromated, with stainless steel springs, and it through-bolts with four screws for tamper resistance.
13) Is the Falcon K301 overkill for apartment bedroom and bathroom doors?
It may be. The K301 is a commercial-duty Grade 1 privacy lock built for high-traffic openings. For a light residential interior door, a Grade 3 privacy lever such as the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors and does the same job at residential duty. Spec the K301 where the traffic is commercial, where a Grade 1 line item is written into the job, or where the door is fire rated.
14) Is a single dummy lever an acceptable substitute for a privacy lock on the inactive leaf of a pair?
No - a dummy trim has no latch and no locking function. The BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim cylindrical lever lock, non-keyed, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 dummy cylindrical lever lock in the 5400 Series. Either provides a matching pull on a leaf that does not latch. The Falcon K301 is a privacy/bed/bath cylindrical lock with a latch measuring 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch faceplate and 1/2 inch throw, so it is the part for the leaf that actually secures the room.
15) Can a keypad or keyless lever lock be used where a privacy bed/bath lock was specified?
Not for the same job. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function for 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with passage function for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Both control entry by code and operate as passage once the code is entered - they do not give the occupant an interior privacy lock with emergency release. The Falcon K301 is a non-electronic privacy/bed/bath lock covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, which is the function a restroom or bedroom door calls for.
16) For a suite of doors where one is a bathroom and the others are hall doors, which locks match across the set?
Function differs door to door but trim can stay consistent within a family. The Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage/hall/closet cylindrical lever lock in the 5300 Series and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 dummy in the 5400 Series, both carrying the Augusta trim. The Falcon K301 covers the privacy/bed/bath door at Grade 1 with three lever styles - Avalon, Dane and Quantum - in 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed and 626 satin chrome, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 covers the passage doors at Grade 1. Matching the finish designation across the openings is what makes the set read as one specification.
17) What is the difference between a Grade 1 and a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock for a high traffic restroom?
Grade level is the ANSI/BHMA durability tier. The Falcon K301 is Grade 1, heavy duty, with brass or steel construction, zinc plated and dichromated for rust resistance and stainless steel springs, plus a clutching lever that turns freely when locked so forcing the lever does not damage the chassis. The Hager 2540 with Withnell lever is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. A public restroom in a school or hospital is where the Grade 1 cycle rating is normally specified.
18) Which lever lock suits a decorative residential interior where a commercial chassis is not wanted?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose is a privacy/bed/bath lever, with matching passage, left hand half dummy and right hand half dummy versions in the same 5103 trim. That family lets a bedroom, a hall door and an inactive leaf all carry the same lever. The Falcon K301 is a commercial Grade 1 privacy lock with non-handed levers in 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed and 626 satin chrome, aimed at heavy duty openings; the Baldwin half dummies are handed, so the leaf must be specified left or right.
19) Does the Falcon K301 need power or wiring run to the door?
No. The K301 is entirely mechanical, with no electronic option on the model. If the opening needs to release on a fire alarm or an access control signal, look at an electrified lever instead, such as the Corbin Russwin CL33903 fail safe in 12V AC/DC, which fits 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors.
20) I need a matching dummy lever for the inactive leaf of a pair, does Falcon K301 come as a dummy?
The K301 is a privacy function lockset only. For an inactive leaf you want a single dummy trim, which mounts to the door face and does not latch: the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed dummy lever, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty equivalent. Dummy trim will not visually match Falcon Avalon, Dane or Quantum lever styles, so if appearance across the pair matters, source the dummy from the same lever family.
21) Does an access control or electrified lever lock cover the same opening as a mechanical privacy lock?
No. The Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 fail safe electrified cylindrical lever lock operating on 12VAC/DC for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, which requires power and a door cord at the frame. The Falcon K301 is non-electronic and mechanical, Grade 1 privacy/bed/bath for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, installed with four through-bolt screws and no wiring. Privacy openings such as restrooms and bedrooms are generally not part of an access control loop, so the mechanical lock is what the door schedule calls for there.
