Falcon T881LD D 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon T881 electrified lever lock fit a 2 inch thick door?
Yes. The T881 cylindrical lever lock adjusts from 1-3/4 inch up to 2-1/8 inch door thickness, so a 2 inch door is inside its range. If your opening is a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door it also covers that without any extra kit. Thinner doors, such as an older 1-3/8 inch interior leaf, are below the range and need a different lock.
2) Can the Falcon T881 be keyed into my existing Schlage master key system?
Yes. Keyway is an order selection covering C Schlage, G, E, H, K, L, N and P, so a building already running Schlage C can stay on one key. The lock also accepts most manufacturers' conventional key systems, small format interchangeable cores and Schlage full size interchangeable cores. Keying is specified as keyed different, keyed alike, or to a supplied key code. If your keying is done in house, order it less cylinder or less SFIC and drop your own core in.
3) Is the Falcon T881 approved for a fire rated door?
The T881 carries a UL 3-hour A label rating for fire door applications, alongside ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 1 certification. Storeroom function suits a fire rated stair or storage door because the outside lever is always locked while the inside lever gives free egress.
4) Do I need 12V or 24V for a Falcon T881, and what else do I need to order?
Voltage is a required choice, 12V or 24V, so match it to the power supply feeding the door before you order. Beyond voltage you specify backset, strike, keyway and keying method (or less cylinder if you are supplying your own core), plus lever style and finish. Power transfer to the door leaf is not part of the lock, so a door loop or electric hinge has to come from elsewhere on the job.
5) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Falcon T881 electrified cylindrical lever lock?
The Corbin Russwin CL33903 is the nearest peer: a Grade 1 electrified cylindrical lever lock offered in a 12VAC/DC version, fitting doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. The difference that matters is the electrical behavior on power loss. The T881 is fail secure, so the outside lever stays locked when power drops and the key still retracts the latch. The CL33903 is fail safe, so the outside lever unlocks when power drops. If the access control drawing calls for fail safe on an egress or stair door, the CL33903 is the one that meets it; for a storeroom door that must stay secure through a power failure, the T881 is the match.
6) If the door does not need access control wiring, what is a simpler storeroom lever lock than the Falcon T881?
The T881 is an electrified storeroom lock, which means a power supply, wire transfer hinge and controller behind it. On a mechanical-only storeroom opening, two peers cover the same function without any of that: the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Both hold the outside lever locked with key access, same as storeroom function, but at Grade 2 rather than the Grade 1 rating the T881 carries.
7) The door is a classroom, not a storeroom. What should be used instead of the Falcon T881?
Storeroom function keeps the outside lever locked at all times with key entry only, which is wrong for a classroom where a teacher needs to lock and unlock the outside lever by key and leave it that way. The Dexter C1000 covers that in Grade 1 two ways: the C1000 classroom lever lock, clutching and keyed, and the C1000 classroom security version, also Grade 1, clutching and keyed. Both fit doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Cal-Royal also lists the AG03 classroom lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/4 inch backset, matching the 2-3/4 inch backset the T881 uses.
8) Do I have to order the Falcon T881 handed for a left or right hand door?
No handing to specify. The T881 is non-handed and field reversible without taking the lock apart, so the same part number covers left and right hand openings. For a property manager stocking spares across a building, that means one lock on the shelf covers every door swing.
9) What lever styles and finishes does the Falcon T881 come in for matching the rest of a building?
Seven lever designs: 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. The rose is 3-1/2 inches in diameter, which matters on retrofits because it has to cover the wear ring or paint shadow the old lock left behind.
10) Is a cylindrical lock like the Falcon T881 tough enough for a high abuse door, or should I use something heavier?
The T881 is heavy duty and built for abuse in a cylindrical format. Compression springs exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 cycle test requirements and stop the lever sagging over time, and the pressure release lever rotates under excessive force rather than transmitting it into the lock internals, which is what breaks levers in schools and dorms. Trim is through-bolted with two 10-32 screws under thread sealant, so the outside trim cannot be spun off. For vandal resistant non-keyed openings on the same job, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever.
11) Does the storeroom function on the Falcon T881 let people out of the room without a key?
Always. Storeroom function keeps the outside lever locked at all times, with a key retracting the latch from outside, while the inside lever is free to open the door at any point. There is no button or thumbturn to leave the door unlocked by mistake, which is the reason it gets specified for stock rooms, mechanical rooms and stair doors rather than an entry or office function that can be left unsecured.
12) Is an electronic keypad lever lock a substitute for the Falcon T881?
They solve different problems and are not interchangeable. The T881 is electrified for integration with an access control system, keyed on a G keyway, with fail secure behavior wired back to a controller. A keypad lever such as the Delaney LP250 electronic keypad leverlock, at Grade 2, or the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever for doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch, grants access at the door from a code with no head-end wiring at all. Choose a keypad when the opening is standalone and the credential is a code held by the occupant. Choose the T881 when the door has to report to and be controlled by a central access system.
13) What Grade 1 cylindrical lever should go on the non-keyed doors in the same run as a Falcon T881?
Keeping the whole run at Grade 1 means matching the rating, not the function. For an opening that only needs the latch held and no locking, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever with a fire rating, fitting doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever lockset with a flat lever for 1-3/4 inch doors. Where a lever is needed on the inactive leaf with no latch at all, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is Grade 1 heavy duty, the same duty level as the T881. None of these three are keyed, so they carry no cylinder into the keying system.
14) Can a Grade 2 lever lock be used where a Falcon T881 is specified?
Only if the spec allows it, because the ratings are different tiers. The T881 is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 and heavy duty. Common Grade 2 cylindrical levers in the same form factor include the Hager 2525 commercial entry lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta passage lever in the 5300 Series, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS asylum function lock, which is heavy duty at Grade 2. Grade 2 products are tested to a lower cycle and strength tier than Grade 1, so on a door where the drawing or the facility standard states Grade 1, a Grade 2 lever does not satisfy it regardless of how similar the trim looks.
15) The opening needs a keyed entry lever that the occupant can lock from inside, not a storeroom lock. What are the options?
Storeroom function gives no inside control: the outside lever is always locked and only the key retracts it. Entry or office function lets the occupant secure the door from the inside instead. The Dexter C1000 entry/office cylindrical lever is Grade 1, clutching and keyed, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. At Grade 2, the Hager 2525 is a commercial entry lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever comes with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset. Note the AG00 backset differs from the 2-3/4 inch the T881 uses, so confirm the existing bore before substituting.
16) Which lever lock handles a patient room or utility door that has to be keyed from both sides?
Asylum or institution function locks both levers so a key is required from either side, which storeroom function does not do since the inside lever always retracts the latch freely. The Dexter C1000 asylum lock is Grade 1 in the F87 function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Arrow MK33-BD-CS covers the same asylum, institution and utility function at Grade 2, heavy duty, with a ball knob rather than a lever and a conventional cylinder in the Schlage C keyway. Where the lever pull is required for ADA reasons, the lever version is the one to specify.
17) Is the Corbin Russwin 585F715 lever an alternative to a Falcon T881?
No, and it is an easy one to mis-order. The 585F715 is a Grade 1 lock lever, a trim piece for an ED8000 pushpad exit device and the CL3300 cylindrical lock series, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. It is the handle only. The T881 is a complete cylindrical lockset with a chassis, a 1/2 inch throw latch and an ANSI 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch strike with a 1-3/16 inch lip. Ordering the 585F715 to replace a T881 leaves the opening with nothing to latch or lock; it only makes sense when the existing exit device or CL3300 chassis is staying in the door and only the lever is being changed.
18) The building keys on Schlage C. Does that rule out the Falcon T881?
It does not. The T881 is a single cylinder keyed lockset and its keyway is an ordering choice, with C Schlage among the keyways offered alongside G, E, H, K, L, N and P, plus a less-cylinder option for shops that supply their own. Cylinder configuration also covers a 6 pin conventional cylinder, less 6 pin cylinder, and less small format interchangeable core. Peers that come tied to Schlage C include the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever and AG03 classroom lever, both 6-pin Schlage C keyed different, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS with a conventional Schlage C cylinder. For Yale hardware already in the building, the Accentra 107S is a Schlage cylinder adapter kit rather than a lock.
19) What fits a thicker door than the Falcon T881 covers?
The T881 adjusts from 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/8 inch, which already reaches further than most cylindrical levers in its class. Peers built for thicker stock top out lower: the Corbin Russwin CL33903 electrified lever and the CL3110 passage lever both run 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Hager 2510 and 2525 run 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Among keyless options the Lockey 1150 heavy duty keypad lever set covers 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch and the Lockey 2835DC covers 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch, both reaching thinner doors rather than thicker ones. On a door over 2 inches, verify the thickness before ordering any of them.
20) Can a Falcon T881 replace a residential grade lever on an apartment or common area door?
It can, and the grade difference is the reason to consider it. The T881 is Grade 1 heavy duty and rated commercial. Residential grade levers in the same lever form include the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever at Grade 3 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever at Grade 3, and the Cal-Royal AUS00 entrance/office lever at Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Two things change on swap: the T881 is keyed storeroom function rather than passage or privacy, so the door behavior differs, and its 2-3/4 inch backset needs to match the existing bore.
21) Is a dummy lever a substitute for a Falcon T881 on the inactive leaf of a pair?
A dummy is the right part there, but it is not the same device. A dummy lever is fixed trim with no latch and no cylinder, so it never secures anything. Grade 1 options include the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim, heavy duty and non-keyed, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta heavy duty Grade 1 single dummy in the 5400 Series. At Grade 2 there is the BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim, medium duty. The T881, by contrast, is a keyed storeroom lockset that carries the security on the active leaf, so pair a dummy with it rather than in place of it.
22) Will a decorative lever from a residential line match a Falcon T881 across a building?
They will not read as the same family and they do not do the same job. Decorative lines such as the Baldwin Estate 5103 with the 5048 rose, offered in passage, privacy and left or right hand half dummy versions, and the Emtek Classic Brass Cortina dummy pair are trim-driven products, with the dummy versions carrying no latch at all. The T881 uses a 3-1/2 inch diameter rose and comes in Avalon, Boardwalk, Broadway, Dane, Latitude, Longitude and Quantum lever styles, in finishes from 605 bright brass through 626 satin chrome and 622 matte black. For a building standardizing on one look across secured and unsecured doors, staying within the T881 lever and finish range keeps the rose diameter and trim consistent.
