Falcon MA571P DG 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the dormitory/exit function on the Falcon MA571 mortise lock actually do?
On the MA571, the outside lever is locked or unlocked by key, and throwing the deadbolt from the inside by turn locks the outside lever at the same time. The inside lever always retracts both the latch and the deadbolt in one motion, so a resident can get out without touching the thumbturn. That is why it shows up on dorm rooms, apartment corridors and any opening where free egress is mandatory but the occupant still wants a deadbolt.
2) Can the Falcon MA571 mortise lock be used on a fire-rated door?
Yes. The MA571 is UL listed for 3-hour fire doors, A label. Note what that means with a deadbolt present: it is listed because the inside lever retracts latch and bolt together, so egress is never a two-motion operation. Do not substitute a lock that requires the occupant to turn the bolt back separately on a labeled opening.
3) Do I have to order the Falcon MA571 handed, or can I re-hand it in the field?
No handing to specify. The MA571 lock body is field reversible, so one part number covers left and right hand openings and you re-hand it on the job. For a property manager or a school shop that stocks spares, that means one lock on the shelf instead of two.
4) Does the Falcon MA571 come with a cylinder, and can I get it prepped for our SFIC system?
Cylinder is a choice you make on the order. Four options: P for a conventional 6-pin cylinder, CP6 for a conventional 6-pin in the Schlage C keyway, L for less 6-pin conventional cylinder, and B for less small format interchangeable core. Pick B if you run SFIC and will drop your own cores in, L if you are supplying conventional cylinders from your own keying program, and CP6 if you already key the building on Schlage C and want it to work on the existing system out of the box.
5) What do I need to specify when ordering a Falcon MA571 mortise lock?
Five things: cylinder option (P, CP6, L or B), trim style (Gala or Napa), lever design, finish, and how you want it keyed. Keying is a required selection, keyed different, keyed alike, or to a specific key code, and there is a fourth choice for taking it less cylinder. If you pick key code, enter the code on the order.
6) Can I key the Falcon MA571 alike with the other locks in my building?
Yes, keyed alike is one of the ordering choices, along with keyed different and keying to a specific key code you supply. If the building is already on Schlage C, take the CP6 cylinder option so the lock works on your existing keys. If you run interchangeable cores, order it B, less SFIC, and core it yourself, which is the usual call in high-turnover housing where you rekey between tenants.
7) What is the closest equivalent to a Falcon MA571 dormitory/exit mortise lock from another manufacturer?
The Sargent 7925 is the nearest match. It is a dormitory exit function mortise lock with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt, listed as Grade 1 heavy duty in the 7900 Series. The Falcon MA571 is likewise a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lock with a single cylinder keyed function in the dormitory/exit configuration. The visible difference is trim: the Sargent 7925 is specified with rose trim, while the MA571 uses forged escutcheons with Gala or Napa trim styles behind eight lever designs.
8) I need a classroom function mortise lock, not dormitory/exit - what should I order instead?
The MA571 is built for the dormitory/exit function, where the deadbolt is thrown from inside and released on egress. For classroom keeping, the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset in the ML2000 Series for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal NM8070 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch, also for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both are keyed classroom function rather than a deadbolt-equipped dormitory lock.
9) Which mortise lock do I use for a storeroom door where the outside lever is always locked?
The MA571 is a dormitory/exit lock, so the outside lever is not held permanently locked. For storeroom keeping, the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series supplied with the Arcadia lever, and the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option for 1-3/4 inch doors. Neither carries the deadbolt that the MA571 pairs with its latch.
10) What lever styles and finishes does the Falcon MA571 come in?
Eight lever designs, Avalon, Boardwalk, Broadway, Dane, Latitude, Longitude, Quantum and Sutro, on either Gala or Napa trim. Finishes run 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. If you are matching existing openings in a building, 626 satin chrome and 630 satin stainless are the two that pair with most commercial hardware already hanging.
11) Is the Falcon MA571 heavy duty enough for a dorm or student housing corridor?
It is built for exactly that traffic. Grade 1, heavy duty, certified to ANSI/BHMA 156.13 Series 1000, with forged escutcheons and cold-formed steel components that are zinc plated and dichromate coated against corrosion. The latch bolt is a 2-piece stainless anti-friction design, which is what keeps it operating smoothly on a door that gets slammed a few hundred times a day.
12) Should I use a mortise lock like the Falcon MA571 or a cylindrical lock on a dorm room door?
Go mortise when you want a deadbolt and a latch in one body driven by a single lever. The MA571 puts both in a mortise pocket and retracts them together from inside. A cylindrical lock such as the Schlage PC10 mounts in a bored 161 prep and is faster to install, but it is a latch only, so a deadbolt means a second lock and a second prep in the door. If the door is already mortise prepped, or the spec calls for a deadbolt on the room, the mortise body is the one.
13) I need a keypad or card reader instead of a key on a dorm room mortise door. What should I look at?
The MA571 is a mechanical lock with no electronics in it, so it will not take credentials. For the same mortise prep with access control, the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lockset with RFID for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Alarm Lock DL3500CR is a Grade 1 electronic mortise lock with 300 user codes on a keypad, and the Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 is a Grade 1 pushbutton and card mortise lock in entry/egress function. Pick the last one if free egress with a deadbolt is the requirement you are matching.
14) Will the Falcon MA571 work as a corridor lock in an apartment building, not just a dorm?
That is the same function under a different name. Corridor and dormitory/exit describe the identical arrangement: keyed outside lever, inside deadbolt turn that also locks the outside lever, and single-motion egress from inside. It is used on multi-tenant residential entry doors, healthcare, offices and government buildings as well as student housing. Falcon publishes a multi-family suiting catalog for putting these on a master key program across a property.
15) Is the Falcon MA571 a complete lockset or just the mortise body?
Complete. Lock body, trim and levers ship together, which is what separates it from a body-only item like the BEST 45HCA heavy duty mortise lock body, where you source the trim separately. You still choose the trim style, lever design and finish when you order the MA571, and the cylinder if you want it supplied rather than less-cylinder.
16) Is a privacy mortise lock with a deadbolt the same thing as the Falcon MA571?
No. Both throw a deadbolt, but they are keyed differently. The Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 heavy duty privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt, privacy/bed/bath function, 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 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors. Privacy function is not keyed for a master system. The MA571 is a keyed single cylinder lock in the dormitory/exit function, which is what a housing or corridor opening on a key system needs.
17) Can I put a mortise deadbolt on the door instead of a lock with a built-in deadbolt?
That is a different install and a different opening. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset in the 4870 Series, and the Kaba Ilco 185 Series is a mortise deadbolt with no handing. A deadbolt alone gives no latch and no lever, so the door needs separate operating trim. The MA571 combines a latch, lever trim and a single cylinder deadbolt in one mortise case, and it is field reversible.
18) What is the electronic or keypad alternative to a mechanical dormitory mortise lock?
The MA571 is mechanical, with no electronic components. If codes or credentials are wanted instead of keys, 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 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, carrying a 3 hour fire rating. The MA571 is UL listed for 3-hour A label fire doors and takes conventional or SFIC cylinders.
19) The opening does not need to be keyed at all - what mortise lock covers a passage or office door?
For an unkeyed opening the Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 passage latch mortise lock, non-keyed, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3810E is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with escutcheon and a 2-3/4 inch backset for 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inch doors. For an office door with a lever and escutcheon that is also non-keyed, the Hager 3850E covers the same door thickness range. The MA571 is a keyed lock and is the choice only where a cylinder and deadbolt are wanted.
20) Will a Baldwin 6301 entry/apartment mortise lock body work in place of a Falcon MA571?
They are not interchangeable specifications. The Baldwin 6301 is an entry/apartment mortise lock body with a 2-1/2 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 inch and over, offered knob by knob or, as the 6301LS, lever by lever. Backset governs the pocket location in the door, so an entry/apartment body on a 2-1/2 inch backset is a different door prep decision from the MA571, which is a dormitory/exit function Grade 1 lock with an integrated single cylinder deadbolt. Confirm the existing mortise pocket and backset before swapping either way.
21) What is the difference between ordering a complete mortise lockset and a mortise lock body only?
A lock body is the case alone, with trim ordered separately. 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 mortise lockbody with intruder function. The Falcon MA571 is ordered as a complete assembly, with lever style, trim style, finish and cylinder selected together, and it is also field reversible.
22) Which mortise lock should I specify for a behavioral health or ligature-resistant opening?
The MA571 uses standard lever trim in eight lever styles, which is not a ligature-resistant profile. For those 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 satin stainless ligature-resistant arch trim version of the same passage function. The Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 ligature-resistant, ADA compliant hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset in satin stainless steel.
23) I need the corridor door to unlock electrically from the access control system - what replaces a mechanical mortise lock?
The MA571 is a mechanical lock with no electrified option. For an electrically controlled corridor opening, the Schlage L9092EU with 03A trim is a heavy duty corridor function mortise lock with electric lock/unlock of the outside lever, keyed outside, request to exit, on 12/24VDC for 1-3/4 inch doors. 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.
24) Can a cylindrical lock be used where a mortise lock like the MA571 is specified?
Not without changing the door prep. The MA571 is a mortise lock, which needs a routed pocket in the door edge. A cylindrical lock such as the Schlage PC10, a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock, non-keyed with rose for 1-3/4 inch doors, mounts through bored holes instead. Cylindrical and mortise preps are not interchangeable in an existing door, and the PC10 is passage function against the MA571 keyed dormitory/exit function with deadbolt.
25) What is a Grade 2 mortise lock giving up compared to the MA571?
Grade rating is the ANSI/BHMA durability tier. The Schlage Electronics LEBMB-ADD is a Grade 2 mobile enabled mortise lock with push button and LED, covering privacy, office and apartment functions on 1-3/4 inch doors with a 3 hour fire rating. The MA571 is Grade 1 heavy duty and UL listed for 3-hour A label fire doors, which is the tier institutional specifications usually call out for high-traffic openings.
26) Is there a Falcon MA571 option for an X-ray room or for tactile handicapped identification?
Both are available as special options on the MA571. Abrasive coating can be applied to the trim for handicapped identification, and the lock can be lead-wrapped for X-ray room openings. These are specified at order, not field-applied, so call them out when you place the order for a healthcare or imaging suite.
27) Is an Emtek mortise entrance lockset an alternative to the Falcon MA571?
No. The Emtek 3019 Brisbane, 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton and 3106 Manhattan mortise entrance locksets are dummy function, meaning fixed trim with no latch operation, used on inactive leaves and closet doors. The MA571 is a Grade 1 keyed dormitory/exit lock that latches and throws a deadbolt.
