Falcon MA881P DG 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Falcon MA881 stay locked or unlocked when the power goes out?
It stays locked. The MA881 is a fail secure electrified mortise lock, so a power loss leaves the outside lever locked and the opening secured. Egress is unaffected because it is a storeroom function, meaning the inside lever always retracts the latch. If you need the opposite behaviour, a door that free-swings on power loss for egress or fire alarm release, a fail secure device is the wrong choice and you want a fail safe version instead.
2) Can the Falcon MA881 go on a fire rated door?
Yes. The MA881 is UL listed for 3-hour fire doors, A label, which covers fire rated stair, corridor and tenant separation openings up to that rating. Storeroom function suits fire rated openings because the latch is always projected and the inside lever always retracts it, so the door stays positively latched without blocking egress.
3) Can I key the Falcon MA881 into an existing SFIC master key system?
Yes, if you order it less core. The B cylinder option ships the lock prepared for a small format interchangeable core but without the core, so you drop in your own SFIC and it falls straight into your existing masterkey system. The other choices are CP6, a conventional 6-pin cylinder in Schlage C keyway, P for a conventional 6-pin cylinder, and L, which is less conventional 6-pin cylinder for locksmiths supplying their own. Keying is specified separately as keyed different, keyed alike, or to a key code.
4) I need a storeroom mortise lock but the door has no power to it. What should I use instead of the MA881?
Skip the electrified version. The MA881 is wired and needs a power supply and access control behind it, which is wasted cost on a door nobody will ever release remotely. For a purely mechanical storeroom opening, the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock from the 8800 Series. Both give you the same always-locked outside lever and free inside egress without a wire.
5) Will the Falcon MA881 work as a classroom or a privacy lock?
No. The MA881 is storeroom function only, single cylinder: the outside lever is always locked and a key retracts the latch, with no way to leave the door in a passage state and no inside locking. For a classroom door where a teacher locks the outside lever from inside or with a key, look at the Cal-Royal NM8070 Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset or the Corbin Russwin ML2003 Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset. For a restroom or office privacy opening, the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt.
6) Does the Falcon MA881 need a mortise pocket in the door, or will it fit a cylindrical prep?
Mortise only. The MA881 is a mortise lock, so the lock case goes into a machined pocket in the door edge and the frame needs matching strike prep. A door bored for a cylindrical lockset will not take it without new prep. If the existing openings are bored, a cylindrical lock such as the Schlage PC Series is the type that drops into that prep instead.
7) The opening is a classroom, not a storeroom - what should I order instead of the MA881?
The Falcon MA881 is a storeroom function lock: the outside lever stays locked and the key retracts the latch, which is wrong for a room that has to be secured from inside or set open. For a classroom opening, the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal NM8070 is a heavy duty Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch on the same door thickness. If the classroom needs an intruder or security indicator function, the TownSteel FME-4000 is an electronic intruder classroom mortise lock with RFID and the Marks USA LA318GJ is a Grade 1 classroom security indicator mortise lockset with an ANSI strike.
8) What mortise lock should I use on a behavioral health or ligature-resistant opening instead of the MA881?
The TownSteel MRX-L-01 is a stainless steel Grade 1 heavy duty anti-ligature lever mortise lockset with a passage function, the MRX-A-01 is the same passage function in a ligature resistant arch trim, and the Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset that is ligature resistant and ADA compliant in satin stainless steel. All three are passage function on 1-3/4 inch doors where stated, so they do not lock. The Falcon MA881 is a keyed Grade 1 storeroom lock with lever trim, which is the wrong trim profile for a ligature-sensitive room even though it matches on grade.
9) Is the Falcon MA881 heavy duty enough for a high traffic commercial door?
It is built for it. Grade 1 under ANSI/BHMA 156.13 Series 1000 is the top commercial rating for mortise locks, and the MA881 carries heavy duty classification with forged escutcheon trim and a cold-formed steel case with zinc plating and dichromate coating. The latch bolt is a 2-piece stainless steel anti-friction design, which is what keeps a door under closer pressure latching cleanly over years of use.
10) Should I use an electrified mortise lock like the Falcon MA881 or a standalone keypad lock?
The MA881 is wired, so it needs power to the opening and a panel behind it, and in return the access control system controls and logs the door in real time. That is the right answer when the door belongs to a card system. If there is no wiring to the opening and no panel, a standalone keypad mortise lock is less work: the Alarm Lock DL3500CR Trilogy is a Grade 1 electronic mortise lock with 300 user codes, and the BEST 45HZ EZ Series is a keypad mortise lock with key override. Both run on batteries at the door instead of a home run to a panel.
11) Is the Falcon MA881 an electronic lock with a keypad or card reader built in?
No reader and no keypad on the lock. The MA881 is an electrified lock body: the solenoid controls the outside lever and the credential reader lives separately on the wall, wired back to the same access control panel. If you want the reader in the lock itself, the TownSteel FME-2000 Series is a Grade 1 mortise lockset with RFID built in, and the Schlage LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader.
12) What is request-to-exit on the Falcon MA881 and do I need it?
RX is a switch inside the lock that signals the panel the moment the inside lever is turned. Order it included if the door is alarmed or monitored and you need legitimate egress to shunt the alarm rather than trip it, or if you want exits logged. Leave it out on a door where the panel only controls access and nobody is watching egress. It is specified at order time, so decide with the access control contractor before the lock is built.
13) What other wired electrified mortise locks compare to the Falcon MA881?
Two run in the same wired class. The BEST 45HW is a wired electromechanical mortise lock with 12V/24V operation, rated heavy duty, and the Command Access ML190 is a heavy-duty motorized mortise lock with field selectable EL/EU operation on 24VDC. The Command Access part carries a storeroom function like the Falcon MA881 and lets the fail secure or fail safe mode be chosen in the field; the MA881 is a fail secure electrified storeroom lock ordered at 12 VDC or 24 VDC. Choose on voltage available at the door and on whether the opening needs the mode selectable after install.
14) Will a Sargent 130KB or 4874 work in place of a Falcon MA881?
No - those are not locksets. The Sargent 130KB is a standard duty mortise thumbturn and the Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset. A thumbturn is trim that turns an existing mortise body, and the 4874 throws a deadbolt with no latch and no lever. The Falcon MA881 is a complete Grade 1 electrified storeroom mortise lock with a lever, ordered with a lever style and a trim style, so none of those parts covers the same opening on their own.
15) Which mortise lock takes a small format interchangeable core like the Falcon MA881?
The Falcon MA881 can be ordered less small format interchangeable core so an existing SFIC core drops in, or with a conventional 6-pin cylinder including a Schlage C keyway version. Among comparable mortise locksets, the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a heavy duty Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset offered with an interchangeable core option, which keeps a storeroom opening on the same core system. Where the door is on a keypad system with a mechanical key backup, the BEST 45HZ EZ Series electronic keypad mortise lock includes a key override function.
16) Is an Emtek 3102 or Baldwin 6310 mortise lock comparable to a Falcon MA881?
They are built for different doors. The Emtek 3102 Memphis is a dummy mortise entrance lockset, meaning it has no latch or locking mechanism at all, and the Baldwin 6310 is an entrance/storeroom mortise lock body with a 2-1/2 inch backset for doors 1-3/8 inch and over. The Baldwin part shares a storeroom-type function with the Falcon MA881, but the MA881 is a Grade 1 commercial electrified lock with a UL listed 3-hour fire door A label rating, which is what a fire-rated commercial opening on an access control system requires.
17) What do I order for a dormitory or corridor door that needs a deadbolt rather than a storeroom function?
The Sargent 7925 is a heavy duty Grade 1 dormitory exit function mortise lock in the 7900 Series with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt. The Falcon MA881 is a Grade 1 single cylinder storeroom mortise lock with no deadbolt, so the outside lever is always locked and the latch is the only thing securing the door. Where the room needs an occupant to throw a bolt from inside, the 7925 covers it; where the door is on an access control system, the MA881 is the electrified body.
