Falcon W101S D 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon W101 passage lever fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or is it 1-3/4 only?
The W101 covers both. It's built for doors 1-3/8 inches to 1-3/4 inches thick, so the same part works on an older 1-3/8 inch interior door and on standard 1-3/4 inch commercial leaf. Backset is 2-3/4 inches. If your doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inches, look at a Grade 1 alternative like the Corbin Russwin CL3110 passage lever, which covers 1-3/4 to 2 inches.
2) Do I have to order the Falcon W101 handed for a left or right door?
No handing to specify. The W101 is non-handed and re-hands in the field without taking the lock apart, so one part number covers left and right swings. For a property manager stocking spares across a building, that means one SKU on the shelf instead of two.
3) I need to lock the room. Is the Falcon W101 the wrong lock for me?
Yes, it's the wrong one. The W101 is non-keyed passage: both levers turn free at all times and there is no cylinder and no privacy button. For a bathroom or bedroom you want a privacy function such as the Hager 2540 or Arrow MK02-TA; for a keyed office or storeroom door, a Cal-Royal AG05 storeroom or a Hager 2525 entry lever. Use the W101 only where the door just needs to latch.
4) What do I actually have to specify when ordering a Falcon W101?
Five decisions. Lever style (Avalon, Boardwalk, Broadway, Dane, Latitude, Longitude, Quantum), finish (605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613 oil-rubbed satin bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 643E aged bronze), rose size (3-3/8 inch standard or 2-9/16 inch small), the latch by backset and face plate corner, and the strike. Handing isn't one of them, the lock is non-handed.
5) What is the closest Grade 2 commercial passage lever to the Falcon W101?
The Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever lock in passage function, the same grade and function as the Falcon W101. The Accentra 4601LN is also a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever, with Augusta trim, from the 4600 Series. Either matches the W101 on the two specs that usually drive a passage substitution: Grade 2 and a non-keyed passage/hall/closet function. Confirm lever style and finish separately, since trim families differ between the Falcon W Series and the Accentra Augusta line.
6) The door is 2 inches thick - what passage lever works when the Falcon W101 does not?
The W101 covers doors 1-3/8" to 1-3/4", so a 2" door needs a different lock. The Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever with Withnell trim covers 1-3/8" to 2". The Arrow GL01 Grade 2 passage cylindrical lock with Sierra lever covers 1-3/4" to 2". For a Grade 1 option on that thickness, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 passage/closet vandal-resistant lever covers 1-3/4" to 2" and is fire rated. Measure the door leaf at the lock edge before choosing.
7) What is the heavy-duty step up from a Falcon W101 passage lever?
The W101 is a medium-duty Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever. Where the opening sees higher traffic or abuse, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal-resistant cylindrical lever in passage/closet function, fire rated, for doors 1-3/4" to 2". The Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever lockset with a flat lever for 1-3/4" doors. Both change the door thickness range from what the W101 accepts, so check the leaf before specifying up.
8) What looks like a Falcon W101 substitute but will not actually latch the door?
Dummy levers. The Accentra 455LN Augusta single dummy, the BEST 7KC single dummy trim lever, the BEST 9K 1DT single dummy trim, and the Callan Bentley dummy lever are all non-keyed levers that mount as trim only - they have no chassis and no latch. The Falcon W101 is a passage lock with a working latch bolt, a 1/2" throw latch and an ANSI 1-1/4" x 4-7/8" curved lip strike. Order a dummy only for an inactive leaf or a false door; if the door has to latch closed, it needs the passage lock.
9) The restroom door needs to lock from inside - what replaces a Falcon W101 there?
The W101 is passage function, free-turning on both sides with no locking at all. For a bed, bath or single-occupancy restroom that needs an inside thumbturn, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with a Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8" to 2". The Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob, fire rated, for 1-3/4" to 2" doors. Keep the W101 on the corridor and closet doors and put privacy function only where the room has to be secured from the inside.
10) What's the difference between the W101S standard rose and the W101SR small rose?
Rose diameter, and it matters when the trim has to clear something. The standard rose measures 3-3/8 inches; the small rose is 2-9/16 inches. Pick the small rose on narrow stiles, next to glass stops, or where a door pull or closer arm crowds the trim, and the standard rose where you're covering an existing larger prep or an old knob rose footprint.
11) Can I use the same keying program hardware on a Falcon W101 corridor door?
Not on the W101 itself. It's a passage lockset with no cylinder, so there is nothing to key. Keep it for the free-passage openings in the building and put your interchangeable core keyed functions on the entrance, storeroom, and classroom doors instead. The W Series keyed models share the same lever styles and finishes, so the corridor and the locked doors still match visually.
12) What's the closest equivalent to a Falcon W101 from another brand?
Straight across, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta and the Accentra 4601LN are Grade 2 cylindrical passage levers, as is the Hager 2510, which is rated for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches. The Design Hardware J75 is Grade 2 passage but 1-3/4 inch doors only. If you want the same look on a lower-traffic residential-grade opening, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is Grade 3 passage for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
13) Is a dummy lever the same thing as a Falcon W101 passage lever?
No, and it's a common mix-up. The W101 has a working latch that the levers retract, so the door latches shut. A dummy trim like the BEST 7KC 1DT or the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a fixed pull with no latch and no moving chassis, used on inactive leaves and closet doors that hold with a ball catch or a magnet. If the door needs to stay closed on its own, you need the passage lock, not the dummy.
14) Which lock takes over when the same corridor also needs keyed doors alongside Falcon W101 passage levers?
The W101 is non-keyed, so keyed openings on the same run take a different function. The Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with a Withnell lever for 1-3/8" to 2" doors and the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lock with a lever on the same thickness range - staying inside one trim family keeps the corridor consistent. The Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" doors, matching the W101 thickness range, and the Cal-Royal AG03 is a Grade 2 classroom lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway on a 2-3/4" backset, the same backset the W101 uses.
15) Can a keypad lever be used where a Falcon W101 passage lever is specified?
Only if the opening actually needs code entry. The Falcon W101 is a mechanical, non-electronic passage lever. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for doors 1 3/16" to 2", and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy-duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination in passage function for 1-1/8" to 2" doors. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. These add access control to an opening; on a plain corridor or closet door that only needs free passage, they add a code the W101 does not require anyone to carry.
16) What passage lever fits a 1-3/4 inch door when standardizing to one flat lever profile?
The Design Hardware J75 is a Grade 2 passage lever lockset with a flat lever for 1-3/4" doors, and the X75 is the Grade 1 passage lever lockset in the same flat lever profile for 1-3/4" doors - one profile across two grades if some openings need heavier duty. The Falcon W101 is Grade 2 for doors 1-3/8" to 1-3/4", so it covers thinner leaves as well and offers seven lever profiles to pick from when a facility is standardizing trim.
17) Baldwin 5103 passage lever versus a Falcon W101 - which one belongs on a commercial corridor?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose is a passage-function lever from a residential estate line, and the same 5103 trim is offered in privacy and in left and right hand half dummy versions for matching a suite of doors. The Falcon W101 is an ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 2 commercial passage lever, F75, UL listed for 3-hour fire door assemblies and non-handed so it re-hands in the field. On a fire-rated corridor or a graded commercial spec, the W101 carries the certifications; the Baldwin suits an appearance-driven interior where handing is ordered per door.
18) Does an Arrow GL01 passage lock cross over to a Falcon W101 opening?
Partly. The Arrow GL01 is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage cylindrical lock with a Sierra lever from the GL Series, matching the Falcon W101 on grade, function and cylindrical lock type. The difference that decides it is door thickness: the GL01 covers 1-3/4" to 2", while the W101 covers 1-3/8" to 1-3/4". They overlap only at 1-3/4", so on a 1-3/8" leaf the W101 is the one that fits and on a 2" leaf the GL01 is.
19) Will the levers sag over time on a Falcon W101?
The W101 uses torsion spring levers specifically to prevent lever droop, with stainless steel latch springs. The levers are solid pressure-cast zinc and the roses are wrought brass or bronze over steel through-bolted rose inserts, so the trim is anchored through the door rather than into sheet metal. That is the failure most property managers see first on cheap levers.
20) Which Falcon W101 finish should I order to match the existing hardware in my building?
Eight to choose from and they follow standard BHMA finish numbers, so you can match by number rather than by eye: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 643E aged bronze. Most commercial interiors are running 626 satin chrome or 630-family satin stainless looks, so 626 is the usual match on office and institutional corridors.
21) Are Grade 1 Dexter C1000 levers a substitute for a Falcon W101 on interior passage doors?
They are a different function class. The Dexter C1000 Series covers Grade 1 keyed functions - classroom, classroom security, and entry/office, all for doors 1-3/8" to 1-3/4", and asylum function for 1-3/8" to 2". The Falcon W101 is non-keyed passage: free-turn lever both sides, nothing to key, nothing to cylinder. The C1000 functions belong on doors that have to be secured or controlled; a corridor, hall or closet door that only needs to latch takes the passage lock.

    A Reliable and Convenient Keyed Lever Lock for Easy Access

    Posted by Isaac on Jul 11th 2023

    Hey folks, I recently purchased the Falcon W101 Passage Latchset Grade 2 Cylindrical Keyed Lever Lock from ZenSupply.com, and I'm really satisfied with its performance. One aspect that stands out is its reliability. The lock mechanism works smoothly, providing secure access to my space. It's also convenient to use with the keyed lever, offering quick and easy entry. However, one drawback worth mentioning is that the installation process may require some technical knowledge and tools. Overall, if you're looking for a dependable keyed lever lock, the Falcon W101 is a solid choice.
