Falcon MA451L DG 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon MA451 hotel lock let housekeeping in when a guest has thrown the deadbolt?
No, and that is the point of the hotel guest function. The MA451 is a hotel guest lockset with a deadbolt: the guest throws the deadbolt from inside and it shuts out ordinary guest keys. It is a single cylinder keyed lock, so entry from the corridor is by key at the outside cylinder only, with an emergency-level key required once the deadbolt is set. Plan your key system around that before you order.
2) Can the Falcon MA451 go on a fire rated guest room door?
Yes. The MA451 mortise lock is UL listed for 3-hour fire doors, A label, so it can be specified on a rated guest room or corridor opening. That rating covers the lock itself; the door, frame and closer have to carry their own rating for the assembly to hold.
3) Do I have to order the Falcon MA451 handed, or can one lock cover left and right hand doors?
One part covers both. The MA451 is field reversible, including a 2-piece stainless steel reversible latch bolt, so a single lock can be re-handed on site. For a property stocking spares that means one shelf item instead of four, and no wrong-hand returns when a door gets rehung.
4) Can I put the Falcon MA451 on my existing SFIC key system, or do I have to rekey the property?
Both paths are open at order time. Cylinder choice is B for less small format interchangeable core, P for a conventional 6-pin cylinder, CP6 for a conventional 6-pin in the Schlage C keyway, or L for less 6-pin conventional cylinder. If the property already runs SFIC, order the B option and drop your own cores in, which keeps the lock on the master system you already have and lets housekeeping rekey a room without pulling the lock.
5) Is the Falcon MA451 an electronic or RFID room lock?
No. The MA451 is a mechanical key-operated mortise lock with no electronics, no card reader and no battery. If the property is moving to credentials, the electronic mortise options ZenSupply carries include the TownSteel FME-2000 Series Grade 1 RFID mortise lockset and the Dormakaba LX-I-M002 Saffire RFID mortise lockset with BLE mobile access. Those change the room access model entirely, so decide that before standardizing on a mechanical lock.
6) I need a mortise lock for a classroom or storeroom, not a guest room. Is the MA451 the right function?
No. The MA451 is built as a hotel guest function and that behavior does not suit a classroom or a stock room. For classroom, ZenSupply carries the Cal-Royal NM8070 Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset and the Corbin Russwin ML2003 Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset. For storeroom, look at the Cal-Royal NM8080 Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with interchangeable core option or the Accentra 8805FL Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock. Function is the first thing to get right on a mortise lock; the body differs, not just the trim.
7) What is the closest equivalent to a Falcon MA451 hotel guest mortise lock from another manufacturer?
The Falcon MA451 is a Grade 1 mortise lock with hotel guest function and a deadbolt, single cylinder keyed. The nearest peer in function is the Sargent 7925, a Grade 1 heavy duty corridor/dormitory function mortise lock with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt. Both are mortise bodies carrying a deadbolt alongside the latch on a keyed opening, and both are Grade 1. The MA451 is specified for hotel guest rooms, where the guest key operates the lock and the deadbolt throws from inside; the Sargent 7925 is a corridor/dormitory function. Confirm which function code your specification calls for before substituting, because the two behave differently at the outside lever when the deadbolt is thrown.
8) I need a mortise lock with a deadbolt but the room is not a hotel guest room - what should I use instead of the MA451?
The MA451 carries hotel guest function, which is written around a guest key and a shut-out condition. If the opening is a bedroom or bathroom that needs privacy rather than keyed guest control, the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with a deadbolt for doors 1-3/4 inch thick. If the deadbolt is all you need and no latch is required, the Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset. Choose by who has to operate the bolt: an occupant from inside on the privacy set, or a key from both sides on the Sargent deadbolt.
9) We are moving our guest rooms to keycards - what replaces a Falcon MA451 mechanical hotel lock?
The MA451 is a mechanical, non-electronic mortise lock keyed with a conventional 6-pin cylinder or a small format interchangeable core. For a credential-based guest room, the Dormakaba Saffire LX-I-M002 is an electronic RFID mortise lockset with BLE mobile access at BHMA Grade 2, and the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lockset with RFID technology for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 is a Grade 1 electronic pushbutton and card mortise lock in a back-to-back configuration if you want codes as well as cards. All three change the credential and the power and management requirements; the MA451 needs neither battery nor front desk encoder.
10) Which mortise locks besides the Falcon MA451 carry a 3-hour fire rating?
The Falcon MA451 is UL listed for 3-hour fire doors, A label. Among peers, the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock is Grade 1 with a 3 hour fire rating, and the Schlage Electronics LEBMB-ADD mobile-enabled mortise lock is Grade 2 with a 3 hour fire rating for 1-3/4 inch doors. If the drawing calls for both a 3-hour rated opening and Grade 1, the MA451 and the LEMD-GRW both meet it; the LEBMB-ADD meets the fire rating at Grade 2.
11) We need the guest room lock tied into access control - what mortise lock should we look at instead of the MA451?
The MA451 is a mechanical lock with no electronic components. For an access controlled opening, the Schlage L9092EU with 03A trim is a heavy duty mortise lock with an electric lock/unlock outside lever, keyed outside, request to exit, running on 12 or 24VDC on a 1-3/4 inch door, and the BEST 45HW is a heavy duty wired electromechanical mortise lock with 12V or 24V operation. The Command Access ML190 is a heavy-duty motorized mortise lock in storeroom function with field selectable fail safe or fail secure operation on 24VDC. All three require power to the door and a transfer hinge or cable, which the MA451 does not.
12) What do I have to specify when ordering a Falcon MA451 hotel lock?
Four choices plus keying. Trim style is Gala or Napa. Lever style is Avalon, Boardwalk, Broadway, Dane, Latitude, Longitude, Quantum or Sutro. Finish 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. Cylinder is P, CP6, B or L. Keying is ordered as keyed different, keyed alike, or to a key code you supply.
13) Is the Falcon MA451 heavy duty enough for a high turnover hotel corridor?
It is built for that traffic. The MA451 is a commercial Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lock, certified to ANSI/BHMA 156.13 Series 1000, with forged escutcheons and cold-formed steel construction, zinc plated with dichromate for corrosion resistance. Grade 1 is the highest of the three ANSI/BHMA duty grades, which is what you want on a door cycled every day by guests and staff.
14) What is the closest alternative to the Falcon MA451 for dorm rooms and student housing?
For a dormitory style opening with a deadbolt, the Sargent 7925 is the nearest peer ZenSupply carries: a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lock in the 7900 Series with dormitory exit function, rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt. It is the same idea as the MA451, a keyed mortise lock with an occupant-controlled deadbolt, in a corridor/dormitory function rather than hotel guest. If the room only needs privacy with a deadbolt and no guest key hierarchy, the Cal-Royal NM8440 Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt is the simpler buy.
15) Is a mortise lock like the Falcon MA451 the right choice, or should I use a cylindrical lock?
A mortise lock needs a pocket routed into the edge of the door, so it is the choice when the door is already prepped for mortise or when you want the deadbolt and latch in one body, as the MA451 has. A cylindrical lock only needs a cross bore and is quicker to install, but it will not give you a hotel guest deadbolt in the same body. If the guest room doors are currently cylindrical prep, converting to mortise means new door prep, not just a hardware swap.
16) Can I use a Cal-Royal NM8050 or NM8080 in place of a Falcon MA451?
Both are Grade 1 mortise locksets, but the functions are not the same. The MA451 is hotel guest function with a deadbolt. The Cal-Royal NM8050 is an office/entrance function with an auxiliary deadlatch and the NM8080 is a storeroom function with an interchangeable core option, both for 1-3/4 inch doors. An office or storeroom function has no guest deadbolt behavior, so it will not reproduce the shut-out condition a guest room lock is specified for. They substitute cleanly on back-of-house and staff doors, not on the guest room itself.
17) Does a Baldwin 6301 entry/apartment mortise lock do the same job as a Falcon MA451?
Not quite. The Baldwin 6301 is an entry/apartment function mortise lock body with a 2-1/2 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 inch and over, offered knob by knob or lever by lever. The Falcon MA451 is hotel guest function with a deadbolt, Grade 1, and is field reversible so one unit covers either hand. Entry/apartment is a residential-style function and does not carry the guest room shut-out behavior. Check the backset your door is already prepped for before treating one as a drop-in for the other.
18) I only need a passage or non-keyed mortise lock on the connecting doors - what is a simpler option than the MA451?
The MA451 is keyed and carries a deadbolt, which is more lock than a connecting or closet door needs. For a non-keyed mortise 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 3800 Series 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. If a room only needs the trim appearance with no latch at all, the Schlage L0170 is a Grade 1 heavy duty half dummy mortise trim for 1-3/4 inch doors.
19) The MA451 is a complete lockset - what if I only need to replace the mortise lock body?
The MA451 comes as a keyed hotel guest mortise lock with lever and trim selections including Gala and Napa trim and eight lever styles. If the existing trim is staying on the door and only the body is being replaced, the BEST 45H Series is a heavy duty mortise lock body in public entrance function with field reversible operation, and the BEST 45HCA is a heavy duty mortise lockbody with intruder function. Baldwin 6310 is a mortise lock body in entrance/storeroom function with a 2-1/2 inch backset for doors 1-3/8 inch and over. A body swap only works if the new body matches the existing backset, hub, and trim prep.
20) Is a Kaba Ilco 185 mortise deadbolt an alternative to the Falcon MA451?
They solve different halves of the opening. The Kaba Ilco 185 Series is a mortise lock in deadbolt function with no handing. The Falcon MA451 is a keyed hotel guest lockset that carries both a latch operated by the lever and a deadbolt in one mortise body, single cylinder. A 185 gives you the bolt alone, so the door still needs a separate latching device to close and stay shut. Use it where a deadbolt is being added to a door that already latches, not where the MA451 would be the only lock on the leaf.
21) What looks like a mortise lockset but will not work as a substitute for the MA451?
Two categories to watch. The Emtek 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton, 3106 Manhattan and 3019 Brisbane are described as mortise entrance locksets but are dummy function, meaning no latch and no keying at all. Separately, the Sargent 130KB and 130W are mortise thumbturns, standard duty trim pieces rather than lock bodies. The Falcon MA451 is a keyed Grade 1 hotel guest mortise lock, so none of these will secure the opening on their own.
22) For senior living or behavioral health rooms, what mortise lock is used instead of a standard hotel guest lock?
The MA451 uses lever trim with a projecting lever in eight styles. Where an anti-ligature requirement applies, the TownSteel MRX-A-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty ligature resistant arch trim mortise lockset in satin stainless for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the MRX-L-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty anti-ligature lever mortise lockset, both passage function. The Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset, ligature resistant and ADA compliant in satin stainless steel. All three are passage function, so they replace the trim and latching behavior but not the keyed guest control the MA451 provides.
23) Can I standardize a property on one mortise lock if some doors need keypads?
The Falcon MA451 covers the mechanical keyed openings and is field reversible, so a single unit handles either hand across the floor. For the openings that need codes, the Alarm Lock DL3500CR is a Grade 1 Trilogy electronic mortise lock with 300 user codes in classroom function for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the DL2700CR is a Grade 1 Trilogy T2 electronic mortise lock in classroom function with a weatherproof design for the same door thickness range. The DL4500 is a Grade 1 electronic mortise deadbolt with 2,000 user codes and a privacy keypad. Note the Alarm Lock door thickness range runs 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch, so verify your leaf falls inside it on the electronic doors.
24) Is the Accentra 8805FL a direct swap for the Falcon MA451?
Both are Grade 1 mortise locks, but the functions differ. The Accentra 8805FL is an 8800 Series Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock with an Arcadia lever, where the outside lever is always locked and a key retracts the latch. The Falcon MA451 is hotel guest function with a deadbolt, single cylinder. A storeroom lock has no deadbolt and no occupant control from inside, so it fits a supply or mechanical room rather than a guest room. If the goal is keyed control on staff-only doors and the guest deadbolt is not required, the 8805FL covers that opening.
25) Can I match the Falcon MA451 to the finish already on my guest room doors?
Nine finishes are offered, which covers most existing hotel packages: 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. Match by the BHMA number stamped on your existing hardware rather than by the name; 626 satin chrome and 630 satin stainless are the two most common in commercial packages and they do not look alike side by side.
