Falcon W101 ELI 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Falcon W101 passage lock used for?
The Falcon W101 is a passage function lock designed for doors that need latching but no locking. Common applications include closets, hallways, and interior doors where privacy is not required. The latch holds the door closed but can be opened from either side by turning the knob.
2) What door thicknesses does this lock fit?
Standard cylindrical locks typically accommodate door thicknesses from 1-3/8" to 1-3/4". Verify your door thickness before ordering. Thicker doors may require longer screws or extended components.
3) Is this lock handed or reversible?
Most cylindrical passage locks are field-reversible for left or right-hand doors. The latch can typically be rotated during installation to match your door swing. Check the installation template for specific instructions.
4) What finish options are available for the W101?
Falcon locks commonly come in satin chrome, bright brass, antique brass, and oil-rubbed bronze finishes. Verify the specific finish code when ordering to ensure it matches your project requirements.
5) What grade rating does this lock have?
The Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical lock. Grade 2 locks meet ANSI/BHMA standards for commercial light-duty applications and heavy residential use. They offer good durability and security for most interior applications.
6) Does this lock meet any building code requirements?
Grade 2 locks typically meet most building codes for interior passage doors. For commercial applications, verify local code requirements for accessibility and fire rating compliance. Some codes may specify minimum grade levels or operational force requirements.
7) What tools are needed for installation?
Basic installation requires a drill, hole saws (2-1/8" for knob, 1" for latch), chisel, screwdriver, and measuring tape. Use the manufacturer's template for precise hole placement. Pre-hung doors may already have proper prep.
8) Are replacement parts available for this lock?
Falcon typically provides replacement parts for their locks including latches, strikes, and internal mechanisms. Contact the manufacturer with your model number for specific part availability. Keep the original packaging for reference numbers.
9) How do I adjust the latch if the door doesn't close properly?
Check strike plate alignment first. The latch should enter the strike plate hole smoothly. Adjust the strike plate position or file the opening slightly if needed. Verify door alignment and hinge condition. Lubricate the latch mechanism with graphite if operation is stiff.
10) What other Falcon models are similar to the W101?
Check other Falcon cylindrical locks for different functions like privacy or entry. The model numbering system typically indicates function - passage locks share similar installation and operation across the product line.
11) Can this lock handle heavy doors or high-traffic areas?
Grade 2 locks handle moderate commercial use and heavy residential traffic. For very heavy doors or extremely high-traffic areas, consider upgrading to Grade 1 locks. Check door weight limits in the specifications and ensure proper door preparation.
