Falcon Q330-197 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon Q330-197 deadlatch fit a door bored for a 2-3/8 inch backset?
No. The Q330-197 is a fixed 2-3/4 inch backset deadlatch, so it only suits doors prepped with the cross-bore 2-3/4 inches from the door edge. On a 2-3/8 inch prep the latch tailpiece will not reach the lock chassis. If your openings are mixed, an adjustable-backset latch such as the Deltana DLP23875, which covers both 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches, is the kind of part that handles both preps.
2) Does the Falcon Q330-197 need a square corner faceplate cutout, or will it drop into a radius prep?
Square corner only. The Q330-197 has a square corner face measuring 1-1/8 inches across, so the mortise pocket in the door edge must be routed with square corners. A door edge prepped for a radius-corner latch will leave visible gaps at the corners unless it is re-routed square.
3) Which Falcon locksets does the Q330-197 latch replace the latch in?
It is a genuine Falcon W Series replacement deadlatch, built to the same form, fit and function as the latch originally supplied in W Series locksets. It is a component part, not a complete lock, so the existing chassis, trim and cylinder stay in the door.
4) What is the difference between the Falcon Q330-197 deadlatch and the Kwikset 84290 square corner plainlatch?
Both are square corner latch components, but they differ in backset and in latch action. The Falcon Q330-197 is a W Series deadlatch with a 2-3/4 inch backset, square corner and a 1-1/8 inch face, built for commercial use. The Kwikset 84290 is a square corner plainlatch with a 2-3/8 inch backset. A deadlatch carries a deadlocking plunger alongside the latchbolt; a plainlatch does not. If the door is bored for a 2-3/4 inch backset and the lockset is a Falcon W Series, the Q330-197 is the matching part.
5) My doors are bored for a 2-3/8 inch backset - what latch works there?
The Falcon Q330-197 deadlatch is built to a 2-3/4 inch backset and will not align in a 2-3/8 inch bore. For a 2-3/8 inch prep the Kwikset 84290 is a square corner plainlatch at 2-3/8 inch backset, and the Deltana DLP23875 drive-in latch is adjustable to either 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch for passage/privacy function on doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick. Confirm the latch matches the lockset family on the door before ordering.
6) What is a deadlatch and why does the Q330-197 have a second small plunger next to the latchbolt?
A deadlatch carries a small auxiliary plunger beside the main latchbolt. When the door closes, the plunger rides on the strike lip and holds the latchbolt from being pushed back, which is what stops a card or shim from loiding the latch. That is the function the Q330-197 restores to a Falcon W Series lockset, and it is why the latch has to sit at the right height against the strike.
7) What finishes does the Falcon Q330-197 deadlatch come in, and does the latch face need to match my lever trim?
Five finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 622 matte black and 626 satin chrome. The faceplate is the only visible part once the door is closed, so match it to the existing lever and strike on that opening. If a building standardizes on 626 satin chrome, order the whole batch in 626 and the door edges stay uniform.
8) I have a mix of Falcon latches failing across a property. Can I keep one part number on the shelf?
Only for openings prepped 2-3/4 inch backset with a square corner 1-1/8 inch face. The Q330-197 covers that configuration across the W Series, so for a building standardized on that prep it is a single stocking item, ordered in whichever finish matches the door edges. Openings on a different backset or a radius face need a different latch.
9) I need a fire-rated latch for a labeled door - is the Falcon Q330-197 the right part?
The Falcon Q330-197 is a genuine Falcon W Series deadlatch replacement with a 2-3/4 inch backset and square corner face, specified for commercial applications. If the requirement on the drawing is an explicitly UL fire-rated latch component, the Kwikset 83521 RCAL plain latch and the Kwikset 83518 RCAL adjustable square drive latch are both listed as UL 3 hour, and the Kwikset 84290 square corner plainlatch carries a UL listing as well. Those are Kwikset residential-line parts, so they are chosen by the door and the lockset they serve rather than as W Series components.
10) Is the Emtek 83228 square corner faceplate a substitute for the Falcon Q330-197?
No. The Emtek 83228 is a faceplate and screws only, for a tubular pocket door privacy latch with square corners. The Falcon Q330-197 is the complete W Series deadlatch assembly with a 2-3/4 inch backset and a 1-1/8 inch square corner face. If the latch body itself is worn or the deadlocking plunger is failing, a faceplate kit will not correct it; if only a damaged faceplate is at issue on a pocket door privacy latch, the Emtek part addresses that.
11) What should I use if I need a motorized or electrified latch rather than the Falcon Q330-197?
The Falcon Q330-197 is a purely mechanical W Series deadlatch replacement for commercial locksets, with a 2-3/4 inch backset and square corner face. For an access-controlled opening the Emtek LC9-DBLTCH is an EMPowered motorized deadbolt latch, a deadbolt-latch function rather than a cylindrical deadlatch, so it is selected with the EMPowered lock platform instead of dropped into a Falcon W Series door prep.
12) Does the Falcon Q330-197 come with a strike plate or screws?
It is the deadlatch itself, catalogued as a replacement part for the W Series, so plan on reusing the existing strike in the frame. If the strike is worn or the wrong corner shape, order it separately. A square corner latch face pairs with square corner strike geometry.
