Falcon W101S D 626 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Falcon W101 passage latchset used for?
The Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage latchset for doors that need latching but no locking. Common applications include closets, pantries, hallway doors, and other interior locations where privacy locking is not required.
2) What door thickness does the W101 accommodate?
Standard cylindrical latchsets typically fit 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" thick doors. Verify your door thickness and check the manufacturer template for exact specifications before installation.
3) How do I determine door handing for this latchset?
Stand on the side where the door swings away from you. If hinges are on the right, it's right-handed. If hinges are on the left, it's left-handed. Most cylindrical latchsets are field-reversible during installation.
4) What finishes are available for the Falcon W101?
Falcon typically offers standard finishes including satin chrome, polished chrome, satin brass, and oil-rubbed bronze. Check product specifications for available options and finish codes.
5) What does Grade 2 certification mean?
Grade 2 is an ANSI/BHMA rating for commercial-grade hardware with medium-duty performance. It provides reliable operation for moderate to heavy traffic applications in commercial and institutional buildings.
6) Does this latchset meet building codes?
Grade 2 cylindrical latchsets typically meet most commercial building codes for passage doors. Always verify local code requirements and ADA compliance needs with your local authority having jurisdiction.
7) What tools are needed for installation?
Basic installation requires a drill, hole saws (2-1/8" and 1" diameter), chisel, screwdriver, and measuring tape. Follow the manufacturer's template for precise hole locations and depths.
8) Can I replace an existing cylindrical lockset with this passage latchset?
Yes, if the existing lockset uses standard 2-1/8" door bore and 1" cross bore holes with standard backset. The W101 should fit most standard cylindrical lockset preparations.
9) How do I maintain the Falcon W101 latchset?
Clean regularly with mild soap and water. Lubricate pivot points and latch mechanism periodically with graphite or light machine oil. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the finish.
10) What other Falcon W-series models are available?
Falcon offers various W-series cylindrical locksets including keyed entry, privacy, and classroom functions. Browse our Falcon hardware collection for compatible models and functions.
11) What backset options does this latchset offer?
