Falcon T291S D 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon T291 privacy hospital lock fit a 2 inch thick door?
Yes. The T291 adjusts from 1-3/4 inches up to 2-1/8 inches thick, so a 2 inch door is inside the range with no extra kit. What it will not do is go thinner: a 1-3/8 inch interior door, still common in older buildings, is below the range and needs a different lock. If your openings are a mix, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 covers 1-3/4 to 2 inches and the Dexter C1000 asylum lock covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches.
2) What is a hospital privacy function and how is it different from a normal bed/bath privacy lock?
Hospital privacy is a privacy lock built so nobody can get shut in. The T291 is a non-keyed privacy hospital lever lock, so there is no cylinder and no key anywhere in the system. A standard privacy/bed/bath lock, like the Arrow MK02-TA knob or the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton lever, relies on an emergency release on the outside for entry. Hospital function is what patient rooms, exam rooms, and behavioral-health openings get specified with; ordinary bath privacy is what a residential or light commercial restroom gets.
3) Will the Falcon T291 latch into the strike already in my frame?
Depends on what lip your frame has, and you get to pick. The standard latch throws 1/2 inch and ships with the ANSI 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch strike with a 1-3/16 inch lip. If your existing prep is different, the strike is a required selection at order time: ANSI 1-3/16 lip, ANSI 7/8 lip, full lip square curved-corner with 1 inch lip, full lip round curved-corner with 1 inch lip, T-strike with 1-5/16 lip, or round curved-corner T-strike with 9/16 lip. Match the lip to the distance from the door face to the frame stop so the latch is not left riding the edge.
4) Is the Falcon T291 approved for a fire-rated door?
Fire rated, with UL 3-hour A label certification. The outer trim is built to bottom out so the door will not collapse under fire conditions. That plus Grade 1 is the combination an institutional spec usually calls for on a rated patient room or corridor opening.
5) What is the closest Grade 1 cylindrical lever equivalent to the Falcon T291 for a patient room privacy door?
The Falcon T291 is a Grade 1 non-keyed cylindrical lever lock in the privacy hospital function, non-handed, with a 2-3/4 inch backset. Within the same Grade 1 cylindrical lever class, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is the nearest non-keyed peer, but it is a passage/closet function with no locking at all, so it will not give a patient room the inside privacy control the T291 provides. If the door genuinely needs a privacy latch and Grade 1 durability, the T291 is the part that carries both.
6) Can a Grade 2 privacy lever be used instead of the Falcon T291 on a bathroom door?
For a standard bed or bath door, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lock with the Withnell lever, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy/bed/bath cylindrical lock with a knob rather than a lever. The Falcon T291 is Grade 1 and carries the privacy hospital function, which is the variant institutions specify so staff can release the door from the corridor side. On a low-traffic private bathroom the Grade 2 privacy units cover the function; on a healthcare or high-abuse opening the Grade 1 T291 is the specified level.
7) What is the difference between the Falcon T291 privacy hospital lock and an asylum function lock?
The Falcon T291 is a non-keyed privacy hospital lock, so the occupant controls it from inside without a key. An asylum or institution function is keyed on both sides: the Dexter C1000 Series asylum (F87) is a Grade 1 cylindrical lock in asylum/institution/utility function, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is an asylum function cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder in the Schlage C keyway. Choose by who controls the door - the T291 gives control to the room occupant, the asylum locks give it entirely to staff holding keys.
8) Will the Falcon T291 hold up in a high-abuse patient room or behavioral health setting?
That is what the design targets. Compression springs sit behind the rose to keep the lever returning level and stop it sagging, and the pressure release lever rotation lets the lever turn away rather than transmit force into the internals when somebody hangs on it or kicks it. Trim is through-bolted with two 10-32 screws carrying thread sealant, and the inside lever is held by an Allen-head set screw so it cannot be pulled off by hand. Grade 1, heavy duty.
9) I need the T291 levers to match the keyed locks on the rest of the floor. What lever styles and finishes are there?
Seven lever designs on the T291: Avalon, Boardwalk, Broadway, Dane, Latitude, Longitude, and Quantum. Finishes run 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, and 643E aged bronze. Pick the same lever and finish code you used on the keyed T Series openings and the patient room doors read as one set.
10) Does the T291 take a cylinder or interchangeable core?
No, and that is the point of the function. The T291 is non-keyed, so there is nothing to key and no core to order. The T Series as a family accepts most conventional key systems, small format interchangeable cores, and Schlage full size interchangeable cores, so if you need the same lever and finish on a keyed opening down the hall you can stay in the series and keep your existing keyway.
11) What is the Grade 1 alternative to the Falcon T291 if I need a different function on the same door?
Staying at Grade 1 cylindrical, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is the vandal-resistant passage/closet option and is fire rated, the Dexter C1000 comes in classroom, classroom security, entry/office, and asylum functions, and the BEST 9K Series 1DT is the single dummy trim for a non-latching leaf. If you are outfitting a suite where only the patient room needs hospital privacy, those cover the neighbouring openings without dropping to Grade 2.
12) Which lock should be used instead of the Falcon T291 when the patient room door needs to be keyed?
The Falcon T291 is non-keyed by design, so a door that has to be locked and released with a key needs a keyed function instead. The Dexter C1000 Series is available as a Grade 1 classroom lever, a Grade 1 classroom security lever, and a Grade 1 entry/office lever, all keyed with clutching levers. The Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt. Keep the T291 where privacy is the requirement and move to a keyed function where staff key control is.
13) Is a dummy lever a substitute for the Falcon T291?
No. A dummy trim is a fixed pull with no latch and no locking mechanism, so it cannot secure or even latch an opening. The BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 non-keyed single dummy trim cylindrical lever, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever. Those are for inactive leaves and closet faces. The Falcon T291 is a working privacy hospital lock with a 1/2 inch throw latch and an ANSI 1-1/4 by 4-7/8 inch strike.
14) Will a residential privacy lever work in place of the Falcon T291 in an apartment building?
The Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set is Grade 3 and fits doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. The Falcon T291 is Grade 1 heavy duty, commercial rated, and adjusts from 1-3/4 to 2-1/8 inch doors. For unit interior bath doors in light-use residential the Grade 3 set covers the function; for corridor-adjacent or high-turnover multi-family openings the Grade 1 T291 is built to the commercial cycle level and fits the thicker doors those buildings usually have.
15) Does the Falcon T291 need a specific hand, unlike other lever locks?
No. The Falcon T291 is non-handed, so one part number covers left and right hand doors with no field disassembly to re-hand. Among the comparables, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is ordered as a distinct left hand or right hand part number. For a facility ordering across many openings, the non-handed T291 removes the handing decision from the order entirely.
16) What is the difference between the Falcon T291 and a Grade 2 cylindrical lever for a school corridor?
The Falcon T291 is Grade 1 heavy duty. Grade 2 cylindrical levers in the same cylindrical class include the Hager 2510 passage lock, the Hager 2580 storeroom lock with the Withnell lever, and the Design Hardware J75 passage lever. Grade 2 units are tested to a lower cycle level than Grade 1. Where a specification calls out ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 for an educational or institutional corridor, the T291 meets it and the Grade 2 units do not.
17) Which lock replaces the Falcon T291 on an electrified access control opening?
The Falcon T291 is a mechanical lock with no electronic components. An opening tied into access control takes an electrified cylindrical lever instead: the Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 fail safe electrified cylindrical lever running on 12VAC/DC and fits doors 1-3/4 to 2 inches thick. Use the T291 on the patient or restroom doors and the electrified lever only where the door is wired.
18) Which Grade 1 lever lock fits a 2-3/8 inch backset door in a hospital privacy application?
The Falcon T291 privacy hospital lock is ordered with a 2-3/8 inch, 2-3/4 inch, or 3-3/4 inch backset, so an existing 2-3/8 inch bore is covered without changing product. Among Grade 1 cylindrical peers, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 and the Design Hardware X75 are passage function, so neither delivers privacy on that opening. Confirm the bore in the door and order the T291 with the matching backset.
19) How much of the door face does the T291 rose cover, and will it hide the old prep?
The rose measures 3-1/2 inches in diameter. That is a full-size commercial rose, so it covers a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with room to spare and will conceal minor scarring around an existing bore. Anything larger than the rose footprint, such as a mortise cutout or a wraparound plate scar, will still show.
20) Is a keypad lever lock an alternative to the Falcon T291?
They solve different problems. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Both control entry by code from the outside. The Falcon T291 is a mechanical, non-electronic privacy hospital lock, which is what a patient or restroom door needs when the point is occupant privacy rather than credentialed entry.
