Falcon MA301 AG 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Falcon MA301 mortise lock use a key?
No key, and none can be added. The MA301 is a privacy/bed/bath function lock, non-keyed, so it locks from the inside only, typically with a thumbturn or push button on the room side. That makes it right for restrooms, exam rooms, and private offices. If you need staff to get in with a key or a credential, the MA301 is the wrong function; look at a keyed mortise like the Cal-Royal NM8080 storeroom or the Corbin Russwin ML2003 classroom instead.
2) Can I use the Falcon MA301 on a fire-rated door?
Yes. The MA301 is UL listed for a 3-hour fire door, A label, which covers the stair and corridor openings most commercial fire assemblies use. It also meets ANSI/BHMA 156.13 Series 1000 at Grade 1, which is the heavy-duty mortise standard specifiers write for high-traffic institutional work.
3) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand Falcon MA301?
Handing is not an order decision here. The MA301 is field reversible, and the anti-friction latch bolt is a 2-piece reversible design, so one lock covers both hands and you re-hand it at the door. For a property manager stocking spares across a building, that means a single part number covers every restroom door regardless of swing.
4) What do I have to specify when ordering a Falcon MA301 privacy mortise lock?
Three choices build the order: trim style, lever design, and finish. Trim is Gala or Napa. Lever designs are Avalon, Boardwalk, Broadway, Dane, Latitude, Longitude, Quantum, and Sutro. Finishes are 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 630 satin stainless, and 643E aged bronze. Nothing about keying or handing needs calling out, since the lock is non-keyed and field reversible.
5) The door does not need privacy, just a latch. What replaces a Falcon MA301 on a corridor or closet door?
Use a passage mortise lock instead. The Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage latch mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3810S and 3810E are Grade 1 passage mortise locks with a 2-3/4 inch backset for 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inch doors, the 3810S with a rose and the 3810E with an escutcheon. The Falcon MA301 is the privacy/bed/bath function, so both levers always retract the latch on a passage lock while the MA301 adds interior locking for restrooms and private offices.
6) What is the closest Grade 1 privacy mortise lock to a Falcon MA301 from another manufacturer?
The Cal-Royal NM8440 is a heavy duty Grade 1 privacy/bed/bath mortise lockset that includes a deadbolt, and the Hager 3840S is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inches thick. The Falcon MA301 is a Grade 1 non-keyed privacy/bed/bath mortise lock, field reversible, UL listed for 3-hour A label fire doors. The practical difference for a restroom or patient room opening is the deadbolt: the NM8440 privacy function throws a deadbolt, while the MA301 is the non-keyed privacy function on its own.
7) What do I use instead of a Falcon MA301 if the opening has to be keyed?
The MA301 is non-keyed, so a keyed opening needs a keyed function body. For a storeroom door the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series and the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a heavy duty Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option for 1-3/4 inch doors. For a classroom the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors and the Cal-Royal NM8070 is its Grade 1 classroom counterpart with an auxiliary deadlatch. For an office or entrance door the Cal-Royal NM8050 is the Grade 1 office/entrance function.
8) The door is prepped for a cylindrical lock, not a mortise pocket. What non-keyed Grade 1 lock works there?
The Falcon MA301 is a mortise lock and needs a mortise pocket in the door edge. A door bored for a cylindrical lock takes the Schlage PC10, a Grade 1 non-keyed passage cylindrical lock with a rose for 1-3/4 inch doors. The two are not interchangeable in the same door prep, so confirm which preparation the existing door has before ordering.
9) Behavioral health opening: what is the anti-ligature alternative to a Falcon MA301?
For ligature-resistant openings, the TownSteel MRX-L-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty stainless steel anti-ligature lever mortise lockset in passage function for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the MRX-A-01 is the same passage function with satin stainless ligature resistant arch trim. Marks USA MAR5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset, ligature resistant and ADA compliant in satin stainless steel. All three are passage function rather than the privacy/bed/bath function of the Falcon MA301, which uses conventional lever or knob trim.
10) Will the Falcon MA301 hold up in a high-traffic restroom?
That is the application it is built for. Grade 1 heavy duty is the top ANSI/BHMA durability tier for mortise locks, and the MA301 uses forged escutcheons rather than cast, with cold-formed steel parts that are zinc plated and dichromate coated for corrosion resistance. Forged trim matters on a public restroom door because escutcheons take the abuse, not the lock body.
11) Should I use a mortise privacy lock or a cylindrical one for a commercial restroom?
A mortise lock like the MA301 goes into a pocket routed into the door edge, which is a bigger prep but gives you a heavier lock body and forged escutcheon trim that stands up to public traffic. A cylindrical lock installs into a simple cross bore and is faster on a retrofit where the door has no mortise pocket. If the door already has a mortise prep, stay mortise. If it has a 2-1/8 inch bore, a cylindrical unit like the Schlage PC Series is the simpler swap, though that one is passage rather than privacy.
12) Is the Falcon MA301 approved for commercial and institutional buildings?
Yes, it is a commercial-rated lock, not residential. Grade 1 heavy duty with UL listing for a 3-hour A label fire door covers the specification most schools, hospitals, government buildings, and multi-tenant residential corridors are written to. For an anti-ligature behavioral health opening, the MA301 is not the part; TownSteel's MRX-L-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty anti-ligature lever mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 ligature resistant push/pull paddleset.
13) I need a fire-rated mortise lock at Grade 1. How does the Falcon MA301 compare to the Schlage LE series?
The Falcon MA301 is Grade 1 and UL listed for 3-hour A label fire doors, mechanical and non-electronic. The Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 3 hour fire rating, a 125kHz proximity reader and mobile-enabled deadbolt with LED on Greenwich trim, right hand. The LEBMB-ADD is Grade 2 with a 3 hour fire rating, mobile enabled with push button and LED covering privacy, office and apartment functions on 1-3/4 inch doors. If the opening needs credential-based access, the LE units bring it; if it needs a Grade 1 fire-rated privacy lock with no electronics, the MA301 does that.
14) Is a Schlage CO-100 privacy mortise lock the same thing as a Falcon MA301?
Both carry the privacy/bed/bath function and Grade 1, but they are different classes of hardware. The Schlage CO-100-MS-40-KP is a standalone electronic mortise lock with a keypad reader, heavy duty, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Falcon MA301 is a mechanical, non-electronic, non-keyed privacy mortise lock that is field reversible. If the specification calls for user codes and access control at a privacy opening, that is the CO-100; if the door only needs a thumbturn-operated privacy lock with no power or programming, the MA301 covers it.
15) Can I use a Sargent 130KB thumbturn or a Sargent 4874 deadbolt in place of a Falcon MA301?
No. The Sargent 130KB is a standard duty mortise thumbturn in the 8200 Series and the 130W is a standard duty mortise thumbturn with a round backplate, both trim pieces rather than lock bodies. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset, which throws a bolt but has no latch and no lever operation. The Falcon MA301 is a complete Grade 1 heavy duty privacy mortise lockset with lever or knob trim and an anti-friction latch bolt, so a thumbturn or deadbolt alone does not replace it.
16) Is the Schlage L0170 dummy trim a substitute for a Falcon MA301?
No. The Schlage L0170 is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed half dummy lever trim in the L Series for 1-3/4 inch doors, and Emtek offers dummy mortise entrance locksets in the Brisbane 3019, Memphis 3102, Hamilton 3104 and Manhattan 3106 patterns. Dummy trim is fixed and does not operate a latch. The Falcon MA301 is a working Grade 1 privacy mortise lock with a 2-piece anti-friction stainless steel latch bolt, so dummy trim only suits the inactive leaf of a pair.
17) Which mortise lock should I specify instead of a Falcon MA301 for a dormitory or apartment entry door?
The Sargent 7925 is a Grade 1 heavy duty dormitory exit function mortise lock in the 7900 Series with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt. Baldwin also offers entry/apartment mortise lock bodies on a 2-1/2 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 inch and over, the 6301 in knob by knob and the 6301LS in lever by lever. The Falcon MA301 is the non-keyed privacy function, which is right for the bath and bedroom doors inside the unit rather than the unit entry.
18) Falcon MA301 versus a BEST 45H mortise lock body - what is the difference?
The BEST 45HCAC is a heavy duty mortise lock body in public entrance function with field reversible operation, and the 45HCAINL is a heavy duty 45HCA lockbody in intruder function. Both are lock bodies, so trim is specified separately. The Falcon MA301 is a Grade 1 privacy/bed/bath lockset that comes with a trim package, offered in Gala and Napa trim styles with Avalon, Boardwalk, Broadway, Dane, Latitude, Longitude, Quantum and Sutro levers. Function is the deciding factor: public entrance and intruder are corridor and classroom security functions, not restroom privacy.
19) Falcon MA301 or Hager 3850E for a private office door?
The Hager 3850E is a Grade 1 office mortise lock with lever and escutcheon, non-keyed, on a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches thick. The Falcon MA301 is the Grade 1 non-keyed privacy/bed/bath function with forged escutcheons, field reversible, UL listed 3-hour A label. Both are non-keyed office-suitable choices; the split is function, office versus privacy/bed/bath, so match whichever the door schedule calls out.
20) Can I get the Falcon MA301 to match the lever style already on my other doors?
Eight lever designs are offered on the MA301: Avalon, Boardwalk, Broadway, Dane, Latitude, Longitude, Quantum, and Sutro, on either Gala or Napa trim. For matching existing hardware across a building, pick the lever design first, then the finish. Note the option lists are separate axes, so confirm the exact lever and finish combination when you place the order.
21) Does the Falcon MA301 come in matte black or oil-rubbed bronze?
Both. The MA301 finish range runs 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 630 satin stainless, and 643E aged bronze. 626 satin chrome and 630 satin stainless are the two that most often match existing commercial hardware in schools and healthcare; 622 and 613 are the design-driven picks for hospitality and multi-family.

    Solid Privacy Lock

    Posted by Jasper on Jul 24th 2024

    I'm quite impressed with its sturdy build and smooth operation. The Grade 1 security is a big plus for peace of mind, and the non-keyed design adds convenience for high-traffic areas.
