Falcon MA621L DG 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the apartment corridor function on the Falcon MA621 actually do at the door?
Apartment corridor is the multi-family entry function: a single cylinder outside operates both the latch and a deadbolt, and the MA621 is keyed on the corridor side only. It's the function property managers put on unit entry doors off a common hallway, where the resident wants a deadbolt they can throw from inside and management wants one key that works the whole opening. Falcon lists it as Grade 1, heavy duty, commercial.
2) Do I have to order the Falcon MA621 handed, or can I re-hand it in the field?
No handing to specify. The MA621 ships field reversible, so one lock covers a left hand and a right hand opening and a locksmith can flip it on site without a parts kit. For a property manager stocking spares across a building, that means one part number on the shelf instead of two.
3) Can I get the Falcon MA621 to work on my existing Schlage C keyway master key system?
Yes, order it with the CP6 cylinder option, a conventional 6-pin cylinder in the Schlage C keyway. That drops the lock straight onto an existing C keyway system without rekeying the rest of the building. Other cylinder choices are P (conventional 6-pin, non C-specific), L (less conventional cylinder), and B (less small format interchangeable core) if your locksmith is supplying cores from your own stock.
4) Should I buy the MA621 less cylinder or with a cylinder for an apartment building I rekey between tenants?
For high turnover, order it less core: the B option leaves it prepped for small format interchangeable core so maintenance can pull and swap a core in seconds at move-out instead of pinning a cylinder. If your keying is conventional and set up centrally, the L option is less 6-pin conventional cylinder. Take a factory cylinder (P or CP6) only when you want the lock keyed and ready out of the box. The keying selection itself is a separate required choice: key different, key alike, key code, or none if you picked a less-cylinder option.
5) Will a Falcon MA621 fit where a cylindrical lockset is installed now?
Not without new door prep. A mortise lock needs a rectangular pocket routed into the door edge plus the escutcheon holes, where a cylindrical lock only needs a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 1 inch edge bore. Going from cylindrical to the MA621 means a mortise pocket cut and a new strike prep in the frame. Replacing an existing mortise lock is the straightforward swap; replacing a cylindrical one is a door modification job.
6) Which fire rated mortise locks are comparable to the Falcon MA621 on a rated apartment corridor door?
The Falcon MA621 is UL listed for 3-hour fire doors, A label. Among comparable mortise locks, the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW carries a 3-hour fire rating and is Grade 1 in the ENGAGE Series, and the Schlage Electronics LEBMB-ADD carries a 3-hour fire rating at Grade 2 for a 1-3/4 inch door. The MA621 reaches that rating as a mechanical lock with no power, wiring, or credential system behind it.
7) What mortise lock should I use for an apartment entry door if I do not need the deadbolt?
The Baldwin 6301LS is a lever by lever entrance/apartment mortise lock body with a 2-1/2 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 inch and over, and the Baldwin 6301 is the same function in a knob by knob configuration. Both give apartment entry operation without the separate deadbolt that the Falcon MA621 carries. The MA621 remains the choice where the unit door needs a key-thrown deadbolt in the same lock body along with a UL listed 3-hour A label fire rating.
8) Is a Cal-Royal NM8050 a substitute for a Falcon MA621?
They are both Grade 1 heavy duty mortise locksets but they do different jobs. The Cal-Royal NM8050 is an entrance/office function with an auxiliary deadlatch, sized for a 1-3/4 inch door. The Falcon MA621 is an apartment corridor function with a deadbolt and a single cylinder. On a tenant unit door where the resident throws a deadbolt from inside, the corridor function is what the opening calls for; the NM8050 suits an office or suite entry where the latch alone secures the door.
9) What is the storeroom equivalent if the door should always stay locked from the outside?
Use a storeroom function instead of the apartment corridor function of the Falcon MA621. The Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series with an Arcadia lever, and the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors with an interchangeable core option. A storeroom lock keeps the outside lever locked at all times with the key retracting the latch, which is the behavior wanted on mechanical, electrical, and supply rooms rather than on a tenant unit door.
10) Which electronic mortise lock should I look at if I want keypad or credential access on apartment doors instead of a key?
The Falcon MA621 is a mechanical lock, not electronic. For credential access on a mortise prep, the Schlage Electronics LEBMB-ADD is a mobile-enabled mortise lock with push button and LED covering privacy, office, and apartment functions, Grade 2, 3-hour fire rating, for a 1-3/4 inch door. The Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and mobile-enabled deadbolt with LED on Greenwich trim, also 3-hour fire rated, supplied right hand. The Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 is a Grade 1 entry/egress pushbutton and card mortise lock in a back to back configuration.
11) Which mortise lock takes an interchangeable core the way the Falcon MA621 does?
The Falcon MA621 can be ordered less small format interchangeable core or less 6-pin conventional cylinder, or with a conventional 6-pin cylinder including a Schlage C keyway option. Among comparable mortise locksets, the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom mortise lockset offered with an interchangeable core option, and the BEST 45HZ EZ Series is an electronic keypad mortise lock with key override. Where a property already keys to an SFIC system, ordering the MA621 less core lets the existing core drop straight in.
12) I need an electrified mortise lock on a corridor opening with access control. What is the option?
The Schlage L9092EU with 03A trim is a heavy duty corridor function mortise lock, electric lock/unlock outside lever, keyed outside, with request to exit and 12/24VDC operation on a 1-3/4 inch door. The Command Access ML190 is a heavy duty motorized mortise lock with field selectable fail safe or fail secure operation on 24VDC and a storeroom function. Both take a power transfer and a control system; the Falcon MA621 is a mechanical, non-electronic lock keyed with a single cylinder.
13) What lever and trim options do I have to specify when ordering a Falcon MA621?
Three trim decisions on the order. Lever style: Avalon, Boardwalk, Broadway, Dane, Latitude, Longitude, Quantum or Sutro. Escutcheon style: Gala or Napa. Finish: 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, or 643E aged bronze. Nine finishes, so matching what's already on the other unit doors is usually possible.
14) Is the Falcon MA621 a Grade 1 lock, and what does that mean for a high traffic apartment corridor?
Grade 1 under ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000, which is the top commercial mortise tier and the one specified for high traffic openings. In an apartment corridor that matters because the unit entry gets cycled dozens of times a day and takes abuse a Grade 2 cylindrical lock is not built for. Falcon also builds it with forged escutcheons and zinc plated, dichromate coated cold-formed steel for corrosion resistance.
15) Is the Falcon MA621 an electronic or access control lock?
No, it's mechanical only, key and lever. If you need credentials or audit trail on apartment corridor doors, look at electronic mortise locks instead: the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and mobile-enabled deadbolt, and the Dormakaba E-Plex 5086 is a Grade 1 pushbutton and card mortise lock. The MA621 is the choice when you want a keyed lock with no batteries and no software behind it.
16) What's the difference between the Falcon MA621 and a Sargent 7925 dormitory function mortise lock?
Both are Grade 1 heavy duty mortise locks with a single cylinder deadbolt, and the functions are close cousins. The Falcon MA621 is the apartment corridor function; the Sargent 7925 is the 7900 Series corridor/dormitory exit function with rose trim. The practical split is trim and system: the MA621 comes with forged escutcheon trim in Gala or Napa and eight lever styles, so it's the pick when you're matching escutcheon-trimmed openings across a multi-family building. Choose the Sargent if the rest of the property is already standardized on Sargent keying.
17) I need a mortise lock with a deadbolt but not the apartment function. What else is there?
Depends which function you actually need. For a privacy deadbolt on a bath or bedroom door, the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors. For a straight double cylinder mortise deadbolt with no latch or lever, the Sargent 4874 has a 2-3/4 inch backset. For storeroom function where the outside lever stays locked at all times, the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 8800 Series storeroom mortise lock. The Falcon MA621 is the one to keep when the opening is a residential unit entry off a common corridor.
18) Can I get all the apartment doors in my building keyed alike with the Falcon MA621?
Yes. Keying is a required selection on the MA621 and key alike is one of the choices, alongside key different and key code (with a keycode field for supplying your own code). Key alike is what you pick for a maintenance or common-area group; key different is standard for individual unit entries so each resident has their own key.
19) What mortise lock takes the place of a Falcon MA621 on a classroom door?
Classroom openings call for a classroom function rather than an apartment corridor function. The Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset in the ML2000 Series for a 1-3/4 inch door, and the Cal-Royal NM8070 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch, also for a 1-3/4 inch door. Both leave the classroom side lever always free while the key controls the outside lever, whereas the Falcon MA621 pairs its latch with a single cylinder deadbolt for a residential unit door.
20) Can I use a Sargent 4874 mortise deadbolt instead of the Falcon MA621?
Only if the opening already has a separate latching lock. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt in the 4870 Series with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Kaba Ilco 185 Series is a deadbolt function mortise lock supplied with no handing. Those are deadbolt bodies alone with no latch and no lever trim. The Falcon MA621 combines the latch and the deadbolt in a single mortise body with lever trim, so it fills a full apartment corridor prep on its own.
21) What is the difference between a Falcon MA621 and a BEST 45H public entrance mortise lock body?
The BEST 45HCAC is a heavy duty mortise lock body with a public entrance function and field reversible operation, sold as a lock body in the 45H series. The Falcon MA621 is also heavy duty and field reversible, but it carries an apartment corridor function with a single cylinder deadbolt and ships with lever and rose or escutcheon trim selected at order in Gala or Napa styles. Public entrance keeps the outside lever unlocked or locked by key with no separate deadbolt throw.
22) If I need a privacy mortise lock for a bath or bedroom door instead, what should I order?
The Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 heavy duty privacy mortise lockset with a deadbolt for a 1-3/4 inch door, and the Hager 3840S in the 3800 Series is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inch. Privacy locks are thumbturn operated from inside with no keyed outside cylinder, unlike the Falcon MA621, which is keyed with a single cylinder for a unit entry door.
23) Is a Schlage PM010 passage mortise lock a cheaper way to do the same thing?
No, it is a different function. The Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage latch mortise lock in the PM Series for a 1-3/4 inch door, and the Hager 3810S is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with rose and a 2-3/4 inch backset. Passage locks latch the door but never lock, so they belong on corridors and closets. The Falcon MA621 is keyed with a single cylinder and a deadbolt, which is what an apartment unit door requires.
24) What should I use instead of a Falcon MA621 on a behavioral health or anti-ligature opening?
The TownSteel MRX-L-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty stainless steel anti-ligature lever mortise lockset with a passage function for a 1-3/4 inch door, and the MRX-A-01 is the same passage function in satin stainless steel with ligature resistant arch trim. The Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 ligature resistant, ADA compliant hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset in satin stainless steel. The Falcon MA621 uses lever trim in eight styles, which is not a ligature resistant profile.
25) Is an Emtek 3102 Memphis mortise entrance lockset an alternative to the Falcon MA621?
No. The Emtek 3102 Memphis is a dummy function mortise entrance lockset, as are the Emtek 3104 Hamilton and the 3106 Manhattan. A dummy has no working latch or cylinder and is surface applied for pull-only leaves. The Falcon MA621 is a keyed Grade 1 mortise lock with an apartment corridor function and a working latch and deadbolt, so a dummy trim will not secure the same opening.
26) Does the Marks USA 21AC ornamental iron mortise lock work as a substitute on an apartment door?
Not on a standard commercial door. The Marks USA 21AC is an entrance double cylinder Unilock ornamental iron mortise lock with a round knob for a 1 inch door, and the 22AC is the same double cylinder ornamental iron design, also for a 1 inch door. Those thicknesses suit narrow ornamental iron stiles. The Falcon MA621 is a heavy duty Grade 1 commercial mortise lock with a single cylinder keyed function for standard commercial door prep.
27) What is the difference between the Falcon MA621 and a Schlage PC10 cylindrical lock?
The prep is different. The Schlage PC10 is a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock, non-keyed with rose, for a 1-3/4 inch door in the PC Series, and it fits a bored cylindrical prep. The Falcon MA621 is a mortise lock, which needs a rectangular pocket routed into the door edge. A door prepped for one will not accept the other without new prep or a filler plate.
28) Can the Falcon MA621 be used in an X-ray room or on a door that needs handicapped identification?
Yes on both, as ordering options. Falcon offers the MA621 with lead-wrapping for X-ray room applications, and with an abrasive coating used for handicapped identification. Those are specified at order time, not added later, so call them out on the purchase order with the finish and lever.
