Falcon T511PD D 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use my existing Schlage keys with the Falcon T511, or do I have to rekey the building?
You can key it into most existing systems. The T511 accepts conventional 6-pin cylinders, small format interchangeable cores, and Schlage full size interchangeable cores. Falcon's own G keyway is the default, and Schlage C is orderable, along with E, H, K, L, N and P keyways. If your locksmith is supplying the cores, order it less cylinder: both a less 6-pin cylinder and a less SFIC option exist, and it can be shipped keyed alike, keyed different, or to a specific key code you supply.
2) Is the Falcon T511 rated for a fire door?
Yes. The T511 carries a UL 10C 3-hour A label rating and meets ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 1, function F109. That combination is what most institutional specs call for on a rated corridor or stair opening. Note the function: F109 entrance/office is a keyed lever that can be left unlocked, so if the opening needs to stay latched and locked at all times a storeroom function is the right call instead.
3) What is the Grade 1 alternative to the Falcon T511 for a classroom door?
A classroom door is normally locked and unlocked from the outside by key only, with the inside lever always free, which the Entrance/Office function of the Falcon T511 does not provide. The Dexter C1000 Series Classroom cylindrical lever lock is Grade 1, keyed, clutching, and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. Where teachers need to secure the room from inside the classroom, the Dexter C1000 Classroom Security lever is also Grade 1 with the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door range. The Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever is a Grade 2 six-pin Schlage C keyway keyed-different lockset with a 2-3/4 inch backset, matching the T511 backset.
4) What should I use instead of a Falcon T511 on a storeroom door that has to stay locked at all times?
Entrance/Office is the wrong function for a door that must never be left unlocked, because the outside lever can be left in the unlocked state. For a storeroom opening the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom leverset with a deadlocking latchbolt for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. Both keep the outside lever locked so entry is always by key, which the Entrance/Office function of the T511 does not enforce.
5) What does the Entrance/Office function actually do on the Falcon T511 lever?
Entrance/office, ANSI F109. The outside lever is locked or unlocked by key, and the inside lever always retracts the latch for free egress. It is the function you want on a tenant suite door or a private office that staff lock behind them, not on a classroom (keyed from outside only) or a storeroom (always locked outside). Single cylinder, so there is no key on the inside.
6) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand Falcon T511?
No handing to specify. The T511 is non-handed and does not need field disassembly to re-hand, so one part number covers both swings. For a property manager stocking spares across a building that means a single SKU on the shelf instead of two.
7) Will the Falcon T511 rose cover the holes left by the lock I am removing?
The T511 uses a 3-1/2 inch diameter rose. Measure the rose or escutcheon footprint on the existing lock: anything with a smaller trim diameter than 3-1/2 inches will be covered, anything larger will leave a ring of wear or unfinished door showing. The trim is through-bolted with two 10-32 screws, so it pulls tight to the door face on both sides.
8) Is a Grade 1 lever like the Falcon T511 worth it over a Grade 2 lever for a high traffic door?
On a door that gets used all day, yes. Grade 1 is the heaviest ANSI/BHMA duty tier and the T511 is built for it: compression springs behind the rose to stop lever sag, a pressure release lever rotation that lets the lever give rather than break internals when someone hangs on it, and inside levers held by an Allen set screw so they cannot be twisted off. Grade 2 alternatives we carry, like the Hager 2525 entry lever, suit lighter traffic and interior openings. For a passage-only door where nothing needs keying, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever.
9) Can the Falcon T511 be wired for access control or card reader release?
No. The T511 is a mechanical lock with no electrified option. If the opening needs to release on a signal, look at an electrified cylindrical lever instead: the Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 fail safe lever running 12VAC/DC for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors.
10) Is a Kwikset or Baldwin entry lever an equivalent to a Falcon T511?
They are built for different service. The Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever are Grade 3 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Deltana 6201 Manchester and 6411 Morant are entry levers for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Falcon T511 is a Grade 1 heavy duty commercial lockset that meets ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 1 and UL 10C 3-hour A label. On a fire-rated corridor or a high-traffic commercial opening, the Grade 3 residential-duty units will not meet the spec; on a private residential interior door they are the lighter, simpler choice.
11) Which lever lock should I use on a patient room or holding room door instead of a Falcon T511?
Asylum function is the one to specify where the door must be keyed on both sides with no free egress lever, common in behavioral health and secure utility rooms. The Dexter C1000 Series Asylum (F87) is a Grade 1 cylindrical lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Arrow MK33-BD-CS is an Asylum/Institution/Utility cylindrical lock with a ball knob and a conventional Schlage C keyway cylinder, heavy duty. The Falcon T511 is an Entrance/Office lever, so it always gives a free inside lever and does not do that job.
12) Can I put a Corbin Russwin CL3110 on the same door as a Falcon T511 to match the other openings?
Only if that opening does not need a key. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever lock in Passage/Closet function, fire rated, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick. Passage means both levers always retract the latch and there is no cylinder, so it cannot be keyed or locked. The Falcon T511 is a keyed single cylinder Entrance/Office lockset. On a run of doors where some need keying and some do not, the CL3110 is the correct partner for the non-keyed openings, not a replacement for the keyed ones.
13) Which Grade 1 lever lock matches a Falcon T511 for the dummy trim on the inactive leaf of a pair?
The inactive leaf takes a dummy trim with no latch, and the Falcon T511 is a keyed latching lockset, so it is not the part for that leaf. The BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim cylindrical lever lock is Grade 1 heavy duty and non-keyed, which holds the Grade 1 line across the pair. The Accentra 455LN Augusta is another Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever, in the 5400 Series. The BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty, a step down in duty from either.
14) I need a keyless code entry lever instead of a keyed Falcon T511 - what are the options?
The Falcon T511 is a mechanical, non-electronic lockset operated by a single cylinder key. For code entry, the Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock, Grade 2. If you want no wiring or batteries, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is a passage function unit that is ADA compliant and fits doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Lockey 2835DC adds a double combination on the same door range. The Lockey 1150 heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set covers 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors and has an adjustable backset, where the T511 backset is selected at the time of order.
15) Can a knob lock be substituted for a Falcon T511 lever where ADA barrier-free operation is required?
No. The Falcon T511 uses a lever handle, which operates without grasping or twisting. The Arrow HK11-BB turn-pushbutton entrance cylindrical lock uses a ball knob with a conventional cylinder for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Arrow MK02-TA privacy lock uses a Tudor knob and is fire rated. Knob trim is the reason those two are not drop-in replacements on an accessible route, whatever their function match.
16) I only need the door to latch, not lock - what passage lever pairs with a Falcon T511 across a building standard?
For the non-keyed openings in the same run, the Design Hardware X75 flat-lever passage lockset is Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors, holding the same grade line as the Falcon T511. The Design Hardware J75 flat-lever passage set is the Grade 2 counterpart, also for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Accentra 4601LN with Augusta trim and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta are Grade 2 passage leversets in the 4600 and 5300 Series. None of these take a key, so they suit closets and corridors while the keyed T511 handles the offices.
17) Which entrance lever locks are a step down in grade from the Falcon T511 for light commercial use?
The Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 Entrance/Office lever lock with a solid brass forged body for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, matching the Falcon T511 on function but not on duty. The Callan Artino is a Grade 3 entrance leverset, and the Master Lock BC Series RL01 return style lever is a Grade 3 keyed entry lockset. The T511 is heavy duty Grade 1 and its trim is through-bolted with two 10-32 screws, with compression springs behind the rose to prevent lever sag, which is what carries it through high-traffic openings the Grade 3 units are not built for.
18) What lever styles and finishes can I get the Falcon T511 in to match the rest of my building?
Seven lever designs are available on the T511: 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. 626 satin chrome is the usual commercial default, so if you are matching existing hardware in a school or office that is the one to check against first.
19) Do I need a separate deadbolt alongside a Falcon T511, or is there a combo lever set?
The Falcon T511 is a single cylinder Entrance/Office lockset, so the latch and the key cylinder are in the one bored preparation and there is no deadbolt in the assembly. Where the opening calls for a deadbolt as well, the Callan Bennett is a Grade 3 entrance leverset supplied as a deadbolt combo, prepping the door for both in a matched set. On a commercial opening the deadbolt is normally a separate Grade 1 unit specified alongside the T511 rather than a residential combo pack.
20) Are the Bravura decorative leversets an alternative to a Falcon T511 for a lobby or tenant-facing door?
They serve a different purpose. The Bravura Miramar with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset in US4 satin brass, and the Atlanta, Orlando round-trim and Tampa square-trim passage leversets are Grade 2 as well. All are passage function, so they latch but do not lock and take no cylinder. The Falcon T511 is a keyed Grade 1 lockset offered in finishes including 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, with lever styles including Avalon, Boardwalk, Broadway, Dane, Latitude, Longitude and Quantum, so a lobby door needing both appearance and keying can be met without stepping down to a passage set.
