Falcon MA441P DG 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Falcon MA441 mortise lock go on a 3-hour fire rated door?
Yes. The MA441 is UL listed for 3-hour fire doors, A label, so it is code-legal on a stairwell, corridor, or cross-corridor opening carrying an A label. It is also certified to ANSI/BHMA 156.13 Series 1000 at Grade 1.
2) Do I have to order the Falcon MA441 handed, or can it be re-handed on site?
No handing to specify. The MA441 ships field reversible, and the 2-piece anti-friction stainless latch bolt flips in the field, so the same lock covers left and right hand openings. That matters if you are buying a quantity for a building and don't want to sort them by door at install.
3) Can I get the Falcon MA441 to work on my existing SFIC key system?
Yes, and you choose that at order time. The cylinder options are B for less small format interchangeable core (you supply your own SFIC), L for less 6-pin conventional cylinder, P for a conventional 6-pin cylinder supplied, and CP6 for a conventional 6-pin in the Schlage C keyway. If you are already running SFIC across a district or campus, order the B and drop your own cores in. If your masterkey system is Schlage C, the CP6 lands on it directly.
4) What do I have to specify when ordering a Falcon MA441 mortise lock?
Four choices plus keying. Cylinder (B less SFIC, L less conventional, P conventional 6-pin, or CP6 Schlage C keyway), trim style (Gala or Napa), lever style (Avalon, Boardwalk, Broadway, Dane, Latitude, Longitude, Quantum, or Sutro), and finish. Keying is a separate required selection: keyed different, keyed alike, key code (give the code), or none if you picked a less-cylinder option.
5) What is the difference between a classroom security mortise lock and a storeroom mortise lock?
A storeroom lock keeps the outside lever locked at all times and is retracted by key only, as on the Accentra 8805FL Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series and the Cal-Royal NM8080 Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Falcon MA441 is a classroom security lock with a double cylinder arrangement, meaning the outside lever is locked and unlocked by key and the inside is keyed as well so a teacher can secure the door without stepping into the corridor. If the room only needs to stay locked and open with a key, the storeroom bodies cover it; if staff need to lock the door from inside the room, that is the classroom security function.
6) Which classroom mortise lock should I use if I want lockdown from a keypad instead of a key?
The TownSteel FME-2000 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with RFID technology for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the FME-4000 Series is an electronic intruder classroom mortise lockset with RFID, also Grade 1 heavy duty for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Alarm Lock DL3500CR Trilogy is a Grade 1 electronic mortise lock with classroom function and 300 user codes for doors 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch thick. The Falcon MA441 is a mechanical, non-electronic classroom security lock operated by key on both sides, so credential-based lockdown means moving to one of the electronic bodies.
7) What is the closest Grade 1 mortise classroom lock to the Falcon MA441 from another manufacturer?
The Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset in the ML2000 Series, prepared for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Cal-Royal NM8070 is also a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Falcon MA441 is a Grade 1 mortise lock with a classroom security function and a double cylinder keyed configuration, UL listed for 3-hour A label fire doors and field reversible. All three are mechanical mortise locks, so the decision comes down to which cylinder and keying arrangement matches the rest of the building.
8) Will the Falcon MA441 match the finishes on the rest of my building's hardware?
Nine BHMA finishes are offered: 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. In schools and healthcare the two you usually see specified are 626 satin chrome and 630 satin stainless. Match by the BHMA number, not the name, since finish names vary between manufacturers and the number does not.
9) Is a mortise lock like the Falcon MA441 the right choice, or should I use a cylindrical lock?
Mortise is the choice when the opening takes real abuse and you want function flexibility. The lock body pockets into the edge of the door, which needs a mortise prep, but it gives you a heavier duty Grade 1 assembly than a bored lock and it accepts trim and cylinder options a cylindrical body can't. The trade is prep: if your doors are already bored for a cylindrical lock, retrofitting to mortise means routing the pocket. For a bored door where you just need passage function, something like the Schlage PC10 cylindrical passage lock is the simpler fit.
10) What else could I buy instead of the Falcon MA441 for a classroom door?
Several Grade 1 mechanical classroom mortise locks cover the same opening. The Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Cal-Royal NM8070 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch, also 1-3/4 inch. The Marks USA LA318GJ is a classroom security indicator lockset, Grade 1, 1-3/4 inch, with an ANSI strike and steel escutcheon, and adds a visual indicator so someone in the corridor can see the lock state. The MA441 differs from all three in that it is double cylinder and field reversible, so one part number covers both hands.
11) Will the Falcon MA441 hold up in a high school corridor or a hospital?
It is built for that duty. Grade 1, heavy duty, with forged escutcheons and cold-formed steel components, zinc plated with dichromate for corrosion resistance. Falcon calls out educational facilities, healthcare, and office buildings as the target environments, and the frame prep follows ANSI Standard A115.1, which is what your door supplier will be templating to.
12) Can I order the Falcon MA441 keyed alike with the rest of the locks I'm buying?
Yes. Keying is a required selection: keyed different, keyed alike, or key code (enter the code from your existing system and the cylinders are cut to it). If you are running your own key system or SFIC cores, choose a less-cylinder option (B for less SFIC, L for less conventional) and select none for keying, then pin or core them yourself.
13) I only need to secure a door, not a classroom. Is there a simpler Falcon or other mortise lock than the MA441?
If nobody needs to lock from the inside with a key, double cylinder is more lock than the job needs and more keys to manage. For a door that stays locked from outside and always exits free, a storeroom function is the usual pick: the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock with an Arcadia lever, and the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors with an interchangeable core option. For an office door, the Cal-Royal NM8050 is the Grade 1 office/entrance version with auxiliary deadlatch.
14) Is the BEST 45HCA intruder lock body the same thing as the Falcon MA441 classroom security lock?
They are not the same. The BEST 45HCA is a heavy duty mortise lockbody with an intruder function in the 40H Series, sold as a lock body, and the BEST 45H is a heavy duty public entrance mortise lock body with field reversible operation. The Falcon MA441 is a Grade 1 classroom security mortise lock with a double cylinder keyed configuration, offered with Gala or Napa trim and eight lever styles, so it arrives as a complete lever set rather than a body alone. Confirm whether the order needs a body only or a body with trim before substituting either direction.
15) What mortise lock do I use on a classroom door that does not need to be keyed at all?
For a non-keyed opening the Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 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, the 3810S with a rose and the 3810E with an escutcheon, for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inch. The TownSteel MRX-L-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty anti-ligature lever passage mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Falcon MA441 is keyed with a double cylinder classroom security function, so a passage body is the right call only where the door never locks.
16) Can I use the Baldwin 6310 mortise lock in place of a Falcon MA441 on a school corridor door?
The Baldwin 6310 is an entry/storeroom mortise lock body with a 2-1/2 inch backset for doors 1-3/8 inch and over, offered knob by knob or, as the 6310190RRLS, right hand reverse lever by lever. The Falcon MA441 is a Grade 1 classroom security mortise lock, UL listed for 3-hour A label fire doors, and field reversible so one part covers either hand. On a labeled corridor door where the specification calls out a fire rating and a classroom function, those two differences decide it.
17) What is the alternative to a double cylinder classroom lock for a dorm or apartment corridor door?
The Sargent 7925 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lock with a corridor/dormitory exit function, rose trim, and a single cylinder deadbolt, in the 7900 Series. The Cal-Royal NM8050 is a Grade 1 heavy duty office/entrance mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Falcon MA441 is keyed as a double cylinder classroom security lock. Residential corridor openings that need a deadbolt thrown from the room side generally take the dormitory function rather than the classroom one.
18) Which mortise lock works for a restroom or single-occupancy room instead of a classroom lock?
The Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 heavy duty privacy mortise lockset with a deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, 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 inch. The Schlage CO-100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty standalone electronic mortise lock with a privacy function and keypad reader for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Falcon MA441 is keyed on both sides as a classroom security lock, which is a different intent than a privacy opening that occupants secure with a turn.
19) If the school wants access control on a few doors but mechanical locks everywhere else, what pairs with the Falcon MA441?
The Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and a mobile enabled deadbolt with LED, rated for 3 hour fire doors, in Greenwich trim, right hand. The BEST 45HW is a heavy duty wired electromechanical mortise lock with 12V/24V operation. The Falcon MA441 is a mechanical Grade 1 classroom security lock, UL listed 3-hour A label, and accepts conventional or small format interchangeable core cylinders, so mechanical openings can stay on the same key system while the credentialed doors run separately.
20) Is a mortise deadbolt an acceptable substitute for a classroom security mortise lock?
A deadbolt has no latch and no lever, so it does not operate the door. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset in the 4870 Series, and the Alarm Lock DL4500 is a Grade 1 electronic mortise deadbolt with 2,000 user codes and a privacy keypad for doors 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch. The Falcon MA441 is a complete classroom security lockset with a 2-piece anti-friction stainless steel latch bolt and lever trim, so a deadbolt is an addition to an opening rather than a replacement for it.
21) What is the difference between the Schlage LE Series mobile enabled mortise lock and the Falcon MA441 for a school specification?
The Schlage Electronics LEBMB-ADD is a Grade 2 mobile enabled mortise lock with a push button and LED covering privacy, office, and apartment functions, for 1-3/4 inch doors, with a 3 hour fire rating. The Falcon MA441 is Grade 1 with a classroom security function and is UL listed for 3-hour A label fire doors. Where the drawing calls for ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 on classroom openings, the grade difference is the deciding item.
22) Which mortise lockset should a behavioral health or healthcare facility use instead of a standard classroom lock?
The TownSteel MRX-A-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty ligature resistant arch trim mortise lockset in satin stainless steel with a passage function for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the MRX-L-01 is the anti-ligature lever version, also Grade 1 heavy duty. The Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset in satin stainless steel, ligature resistant and ADA compliant. The Falcon MA441 uses lever trim in styles such as Avalon, Dane, and Quantum, which is standard commercial lever trim rather than ligature resistant.
23) What replaces a Falcon MA441 on an aluminum storefront or glass door opening?
The Alarm Lock DL1300NW Trilogy Networx is a wireless electronic mortise lock with a keypad made for Adams Rite deadlatches, and the Kaba Ilco BR Series is a glass door bottom rail lock. The Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 is an electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock for wide stile applications. The Falcon MA441 is a Grade 1 classroom security mortise lock built for standard commercial swing doors, so a narrow stile aluminum or all-glass opening calls for one of the storefront-specific bodies.
24) What is the difference between the Gala and Napa trim on a Falcon MA Series mortise lock, and does it change the door prep?
Gala and Napa are the two trim styles offered on the MA441, and each pairs with the lever you choose from the eight available: Avalon, Boardwalk, Broadway, Dane, Latitude, Longitude, Quantum, and Sutro. The trim is the escutcheon appearance on the face of the door. The lock body underneath is the same mortise case either way, so the prep does not change with trim choice, only the look. Pick to match what is already hanging on the other openings in the building.
25) Is the Codelocks CL2255 a substitute for a Grade 1 classroom mortise lock?
The Codelocks CL2255 is a medium duty electronic tubular mortise latch in the CL2000 Series with a brushed steel finish. The Falcon MA441 is a heavy duty Grade 1 mortise lock built for high-traffic, high-abuse commercial environments and UL listed for 3-hour A label fire doors. For a classroom or corridor opening carrying a Grade 1 and fire label requirement, the duty level and the fire listing separate the two.
26) Do the Emtek mortise entrance locksets work as a replacement for a Falcon MA441?
No. The Emtek 3019 Brisbane, 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton, and 3106 Manhattan mortise entrance locksets are dummy function, meaning they mount as fixed trim with no latch operation. The Schlage L0170 is likewise a Grade 1 mortise half dummy trim in the L Series for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Falcon MA441 is a keyed classroom security lock with a working latch, so dummy trim only suits the inactive leaf of a pair.
