Falcon MA541P DG 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon MA541 mortise lock work on a 3-hour fire rated door?
Yes. The MA541 is UL listed for 3-hour fire doors, A label, so it can go on a stairwell or corridor opening carrying an A label without voiding the door assembly. It is a keyed Entry/Office function with a deadbolt, which is the usual arrangement for a tenant suite or office door on a rated opening.
2) Do I have to order the Falcon MA541 handed, or can I re-hand it in the field?
No handing to specify. The MA541 is field reversible, so one lock covers left and right hand openings and it can be re-handed on site without a factory part or an extra kit. Handy if you are stocking one lock for a building with mixed swings.
3) Can I run the Falcon MA541 on my existing small format interchangeable core key system?
Yes, the MA541 takes either a conventional cylinder or a small format interchangeable core. The cylinder choice is made at order: P for a conventional 6-pin cylinder, CP6 for a conventional 6-pin in the Schlage C keyway, L to ship less the conventional cylinder, or B to ship less SFIC so you can drop in the cores you already key. If you master key a facility on SFIC, order B and use your own cores.
4) What does the Entry/Office function on the Falcon MA541 actually do at the door?
Entry/Office means the outside lever can be left unlocked for business hours and locked when you want the door secure, with the key working the outside from the corridor. It is a single cylinder keyed function, so the key is outside only and the inside always retracts the latch for egress. It also carries a deadbolt, which is what separates it from a plain office latch function.
5) What is a Grade 1 alternative to the Falcon MA541 for an office entrance door?
The Cal-Royal NM8050 is the closest straight equivalent, a heavy duty Grade 1 Entrance/Office mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. If the door is a classroom rather than an office, the Cal-Royal NM8070 and the Corbin Russwin ML2003 are the Grade 1 classroom function versions. For a storeroom door that should always stay locked from outside, the Accentra 8805FL or Cal-Royal NM8080 are the Grade 1 storeroom options.
6) Should I use a mortise lock like the Falcon MA541 or a cylindrical lock on a commercial door?
A mortise lock goes into a pocket routed into the door edge and carries both a latch and a deadbolt in one case, which is why the MA541 suits an entrance or office door that needs real security and takes constant use. A cylindrical lock bores straight through the face and is quicker to install and prep, but the body is smaller and does not carry a deadbolt. If the door only needs to push open, a Grade 1 cylindrical like the Schlage PC10 passage lock is the simpler answer. Existing doors are the deciding factor: a door already prepped cylindrical needs new prep to take a mortise body.
7) Can I key the Falcon MA541 alike to the other locks on my property?
Yes. Keying is set at order as keyed different, keyed alike across the group, or cut to a key code you provide. If your building runs a Schlage C keyway, the CP6 conventional 6-pin cylinder is the option that drops straight into that system. For a property already on interchangeable cores, order the B less-SFIC configuration and pin your own cores so every unit stays on one master.
8) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Falcon MA541 Entry/Office mortise lock?
The Cal-Royal NM8050 is the nearest match on function and duty: it is a heavy duty Grade 1 mortise lockset with Entrance/Office function, the same function the MA541 carries. The MA541 is a Grade 1 mortise lock with Entry/Office function and a field reversible lock body; the NM8050 is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, so confirm your leaf thickness before ordering it as the stand-in.
9) We want the key to always retract the latch on a supply room door - is the MA541 the right function?
No. The MA541 is an Entry/Office lock, where the outside lever can be left unlocked for business hours. A storeroom opening, where the outside lever stays locked at all times, calls for the Accentra 8805FL Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock from the 8800 Series or the Cal-Royal NM8080 heavy duty Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset, which is offered with an interchangeable core option.
10) Can the MA541 be operated with a keypad or card reader?
No - the MA541 is a mechanical lock with no electronic operation, keyed by conventional cylinder or SFIC. For credential-based access on a mortise prep, the Schlage CO-100 is a heavy duty Grade 1 standalone electronic mortise lock with a keypad reader for 1-3/4 inch doors, the TownSteel FME-2000 is a heavy duty Grade 1 mortise lockset with RFID technology, and the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 is an electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock.
11) Which mortise locks look like a substitute for the MA541 but are not a complete lockset?
Several mortise items in the same size class are components rather than a full entry lockset. The BEST 45H is a heavy duty mortise lock body only, in Public Entrance function. The Sargent 130KB and 130W are mortise thumbturns, standard duty trim pieces. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset and no latch or lever. The Schlage L0170 is half dummy trim, Grade 1 and non-keyed, with no latching mechanism at all. The MA541 arrives as a keyed Entry/Office lock with lever or knob trim.
12) We need a Grade 1 mortise lock on a fire-rated opening - which options carry a fire rating?
The Falcon MA541 is UL listed for 3-hour A label fire doors and is Grade 1. Among comparable mortise locks, the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW ENGAGE wireless mortise lock is Grade 1 with a 3 hour fire rating, and the Schlage Electronics LEBMB-ADD mobile-enabled mortise lock carries a 3 hour fire rating at Grade 2. If the specification calls for a mechanical Grade 1 lock on the fire door, the MA541 answers it directly.
13) For a behavioral health or ligature-resistant opening, what takes the place of a standard entry mortise lock?
The MA541 uses conventional lever and knob trim in styles such as Avalon, Dane and Quantum, which is not a ligature-resistant profile. For those rooms the TownSteel MRX-L-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty anti-ligature lever mortise lockset in stainless steel, passage function, for 1-3/4 inch doors, the MRX-A-01 is the same passage lockset with satin stainless arch trim, and the Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset that is ligature resistant and ADA compliant.
14) The MA541 is field reversible - do the alternatives need to be ordered by hand?
Handing varies by product. The MA541 lock body is field reversible, so one part number covers left and right openings. The BEST 45H mortise lock body is also described with field reversible operation. By contrast the Baldwin 6310190RRLS is specified as right hand reverse, and the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW ENGAGE mortise lock is a right hand unit, so those must be ordered to the opening.
15) The access control drawing calls for electrified lock and unlock of the outside lever - can the MA541 do that?
No, the MA541 is a mechanical lock with no electronic operation. For an electrified mortise opening, the Schlage L9092EU with 03A trim is a heavy duty electric lock/unlock outside lever mortise lock, keyed outside, with request to exit and 12/24VDC operation for 1-3/4 inch doors. The BEST 45HW is a heavy duty wired electromechanical mortise lock with 12V/24V operation, and the Command Access ML190 is a heavy-duty motorized mortise lock with field selectable EL/EU operation on 24VDC in storeroom function.
16) Our doors are thinner than 1-3/4 inch - which mortise locks fit?
Check the range before you substitute. The Baldwin 6310 Entry/Storeroom mortise lock body is listed for doors 1-3/8 inch and over with a 2-1/2 inch backset, and the Alarm Lock DL2700CR and DL3500CR classroom electronic mortise locks both cover 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch. Many of the mechanical Grade 1 alternatives, including the Cal-Royal NM8050 and the Corbin Russwin ML2003, are listed at 1-3/4 inch only.
17) Is the Falcon MA541 heavy duty enough for a high traffic entrance?
It is built for it. Grade 1 to ANSI/BHMA 156.13 Series 1000, rated heavy duty, with forged escutcheons and cold formed steel parts that are zinc plated and dichromate coated against corrosion. The latch is a 2-piece anti-friction stainless bolt, which is what keeps a heavily used door latching cleanly instead of dragging on the strike.
18) What lever and finish choices do I have on the Falcon MA541 to match the rest of my building?
Eight lever designs: Avalon, Boardwalk, Broadway, Dane, Latitude, Longitude, Quantum and Sutro. Trim comes as Gala or Napa. Nine finishes are offered: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613 oil rubbed satin bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 630 satin stainless and 643E aged bronze. For a commercial corridor 626 satin chrome and 630 satin stainless are the two that most often match existing hardware.
19) What do I need to specify when ordering a Falcon MA541 so it arrives ready to install?
Four choices plus keying. Pick the cylinder option (P or CP6 conventional, or L / B to ship less cylinder or less core), the lever design, Gala or Napa trim, and the finish. Then set keying: keyed different, keyed alike, or to a key code you supply. Choose the None option on keying if you are ordering a less cylinder configuration and pinning your own.
20) Is the Falcon MA541 an electronic lock, and what should I look at if I need access control?
No, the MA541 is fully mechanical, key and lever only, with no wiring or credential reader. If you need electrified or credentialed access on a Grade 1 mortise opening, the Schlage LEMD ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader is Grade 1 with a 3 hour fire rating, and the Command Access ML190 Series is a motorized mortise lock with field selectable fail safe or fail secure operation on 24VDC.
21) Can the Falcon MA541 be used in an X-ray room or on a door that needs tactile handicapped identification?
Both are available as options on the MA541. It can be supplied with lead wrapping for X-ray room openings, and with an abrasive coating on the trim used as tactile identification for the visually impaired. Those are ordering options rather than something added on site, so they need to be called out with the order.
22) What replaces the MA541 when the room needs privacy locking from the inside?
The MA541 is an Entry/Office lock and does not provide a privacy function. For restrooms, bedrooms and similar openings, the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a heavy duty Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with 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 listed for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors.
23) Is there a simpler mortise lock if the door does not need to be keyed?
Yes. The MA541 is a keyed single cylinder lock, so if the opening only needs the latch operated from both sides, the Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage latch mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3810S is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with rose trim and a 2-3/4 inch backset. For an office opening without a key, the Hager 3850E is a non-keyed office mortise lock with lever and escutcheon.
24) Are the Emtek mortise entrance locksets an alternative to the Falcon MA541?
They are not a functional alternative. The Emtek 3019 Brisbane, 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton and 3106 Manhattan mortise entrance locksets are dummy function - they mount trim on an inactive leaf and do not latch or key. The MA541 is a keyed Entry/Office mortise lock rated Grade 1 for commercial use.
25) What should we use instead of the MA541 on a dormitory or corridor door where occupants lock behind them on exit?
That is a dormitory exit function, which the MA541 does not perform - it is an Entry/Office lock. The Sargent 7925 is a heavy duty Grade 1 dormitory exit function mortise lock with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt, built for that pattern of use.
26) Is a cylindrical lock an acceptable substitute for the MA541?
Only if the door is prepped for one. The MA541 is a mortise lock and requires a mortise pocket in the door edge. The Schlage PC10 is a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock with rose for 1-3/4 inch doors and uses a bored prep instead, so it is not a drop-in for a mortise cutout - and it is non-keyed passage rather than keyed entry.
27) We are standardizing an apartment building on one entry mortise lock - what are the choices?
The Falcon MA541 is a Grade 1 commercial Entry/Office mortise lock, field reversible, offered across finishes from 605 Bright Brass through 626 Satin Chrome and 630 Satin Stainless, which helps match existing door hardware across a portfolio. If the units call for an apartment-specific function, the Baldwin 6301 mortise lock body is Entrance/Apartment function in knob by knob with a 2-1/2 inch backset, and the 6301LS is the lever by lever version, both for doors 1-3/4 inch and over.
28) Will an ornamental iron or storefront mortise lock work in place of the MA541?
Not on a standard commercial leaf. The Marks USA 21AC and 22AC entrance double cylinder ornamental iron mortise locks are listed for 1 inch door thickness, and the Kaba Ilco BR Series is a glass door bottom rail lock. The MA541 is a heavy duty commercial Entry/Office mortise lock with single cylinder keying, intended for conventional door prep rather than narrow iron or glass door rails.
29) We only need to add a deadbolt to an existing door - is the MA541 more lock than we need?
Possibly. The MA541 is a full Entry/Office mortise lockset with lever or knob trim and a deadbolt. If the opening already has working latch hardware and just needs a bolt, the Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset, the Kaba Ilco 185 Series is a no-handing mortise deadbolt sold as a single pack, 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.
30) Is there a mortise option with mobile or wireless credentials if we later move off keys?
The MA541 is keyed, with conventional 6-pin or SFIC cylinder options and no electronic operation. If the plan is to migrate the openings to credentials, the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and mobile enabled deadbolt, the Dormakaba LX-I-M002 Saffire is an electronic RFID mortise lockset with BLE mobile access at BHMA Grade 2, and the Alarm Lock DL1300NW Trilogy Networx is a wireless electronic mortise lock with keypad for Adams Rite deadlatches.
31) How does the MA541 compare with medium duty mortise latches for an interior office door?
The MA541 is a heavy duty Grade 1 commercial mortise lock built for high-traffic openings. The Codelocks CL2255 is a medium duty electronic tubular mortise latch in a brushed steel finish from the CL2000 Series - a lighter-duty device suited to lower-traffic interior doors and keyless entry rather than to an ANSI Grade 1 commercial specification.
