Falcon W12 ELI 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a Falcon W12 single dummy knob actually for, and does it latch?
The W12 is trim only. It's a single dummy knob, so there's no latch and no chassis that retracts anything: the knob is fixed to one face of the door and gives you something to pull or push. Use it on the inactive leaf of a pair, on a closet or wardrobe door held shut by a ball catch or roller catch, or wherever you want the look to match a working lock on the next opening. If the door needs to stay closed on a latch, you want a passage function instead, not this.
2) Falcon W12 dummy knob - is one knob or a pair included?
Single dummy means one knob, one side of the door. For a pair of doors, or a closet door you want trimmed on both faces, order two. If you specifically want a two-knob set shipped together, the Emtek Arts and Crafts Hammered Egg dummy and the Emtek Georgetown and Providence crystal dummy knobsets are sold as pairs.
3) Will a Falcon W12 knob fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or only a 1-3/4?
Door thickness from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches is covered, so both the standard commercial 1-3/4 leaf and the thinner older interior door take the same part number. No shim kit or thickness suffix to specify.
4) Can I use a Falcon W12 dummy knob on a 3-hour fire rated door?
Yes, it carries a UL listing for 3-hour fire door assemblies (A label), and it's certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 2 under function F86. For a fire-rated opening, the dummy goes on the inactive leaf; the door still needs a positive latch from a working device to stay code compliant.
5) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Falcon W12 single dummy knob?
The BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is the nearest match. Both are non-keyed Grade 2 cylindrical knob dummy trim, and both are rated medium duty, so a BEST 6K-1DT drops into the same role on a closet or inactive leaf that a Falcon W12 would fill. The Schlage A170 single dummy trim is also Grade 2 cylindrical dummy knob trim, but it is rated heavy duty and carries a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, against 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch for the W12.
6) I ordered a dummy knob but the door actually needs to latch shut - what should I order instead?
A dummy trim has no latch at all; the Falcon W12 is dummy function and non-keyed, so the knob does not retract anything. For a door that has to stay closed on a hall or closet, move to a passage knob: the Corbin Russwin CK4410 is a Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob is Grade 2 non-keyed over the same thickness range. If the opening warrants Grade 1, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 passage/closet knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors and the Schlage D10S passage latch is Grade 1 heavy duty.
7) The opening needs to be locked with a key - what replaces a dummy knob there?
The Falcon W12 is non-keyed, so it cannot take a cylinder. For a keyed opening, the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder, and the Sargent 8XG04 is the Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet version with a 2-3/4 inch backset, matching the W12 backset. For an office door that needs to be left unlocked during the day, the Corbin Russwin CK4851 is an entrance/office cylindrical knob with a conventional cylinder for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Dexter C2000 entry/office ball knob is Grade 2 keyed for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
8) Which dummy knob works on a fire-rated opening?
The Falcon W12 is UL listed for 3-hour fire door assemblies (A label) and carries ANSI/BHMA F86 certification, which is the reference to cite when a fire-rated opening is on the drawing. Among the other dummy knobs, the BEST 6K single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty and the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is Grade 2 heavy duty; decorative dummy knobs such as the Emtek Hammered Egg dummy pair, the Emtek Georgetown crystal dummy pair, and the Omnia 434/0 solid brass single dummy are cataloged as dummy function without a fire listing behind them, so the W12 is the one to specify where a UL 3-hour A label assembly is required.
9) Our doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inch - what knob covers that?
The Falcon W12 is specified for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For thicker leaves, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 passage/closet knob and CK4851 entrance/office knob both cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry and 3381 Egg Knob entry cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Schlage A170 single dummy trim covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, which is the closest thicker-door option that is still dummy function.
10) Do I need to know the handing before ordering a Falcon W12?
Handing doesn't apply. The W12 knob is non-handed and installs in the field without disassembly to re-hand it, so left and right openings take the same item. That's what makes it easy to buy in bulk for a building where nobody has walked every door.
11) Why does a dummy knob list a 2-3/4 inch backset and a strike?
Those come from the W Series chassis family the W12 trim belongs to: 2-3/4 inch backset, a 1/2 inch throw latch, and an ANSI 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch curved lip strike meeting ANSI A115.2 frame prep. The practical value is standardization. If you're putting working W Series locks on the rest of the openings, they all bore to the same 2-3/4 backset and drop into the same ANSI frame cutout, so one door prep serves the whole run.
12) What finishes does the Falcon W12 knob come in and what are the knob styles?
Eight finishes: 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. Two knob designs, Elite and Hana, and every finish is offered in both. Property managers matching existing doors should pull the BHMA number off the old trim rather than going by the name, since 625 and 626 look similar on a photo and nothing alike in a corridor.
13) Is the Falcon W12 tough enough for a school or hospital corridor, or should I go Grade 1?
Grade 2, medium duty, commercial. For a dummy that carries no load beyond a pull, that's fine in an institutional corridor, and the torsion springs and brass and cold-formed steel parts with zinc plating handle the traffic. Where you want Grade 1 is the working openings alongside it. Heavy duty Grade 1 knob locks in the set include the Sargent 8XG04 storeroom with a 2-3/4 inch backset, the BEST 8K Series entrance, and the Schlage D10S passage.
14) Can a Falcon W12 dummy knob be keyed or added to a master key system?
No cylinder, no keyway. The W12 is non-keyed dummy trim, so it can't be keyed and it never enters a master key system. Keying decisions belong to the working locks on the same doors, and for those Falcon publishes its cylinders, keys and keying systems catalog covering the keyway and core options.
15) Is a dummy knob the right choice for a bathroom or bedroom door?
No - dummy trim like the Falcon W12 is fixed knob trim with no locking function, since it is non-keyed dummy function. A door that needs to be secured from inside takes a privacy set: the Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob is Grade 2 non-keyed for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob is Grade 3 over the same thickness range, and the Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob with brass trim for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
16) What is the difference between a single dummy trim and a dummy pair?
The Falcon W12 is single dummy trim - one knob for one face of the door. Emtek's Arts and Crafts Hammered Egg dummy and Classic Brass Crystal Georgetown and Providence dummy knobsets are each sold as a pair, two knobs, for a door that shows a knob on both faces such as a French or double closet door. Emtek's Porcelain knobs also ship two knobs per set with a threaded rod. Count the faces before ordering: a pair of W12 single dummies covers a two-sided opening, while one pair item covers it in a single line.
17) Is there a simpler dummy knob for interior doors that do not need a commercial rating?
Yes. The Cal-Royal BA40 Barrington is a dummy knob cylindrical lock fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the same thickness range the Falcon W12 covers, and the Bravura Biloxi is a Grade 2 dummy knobset with round trim. For a traditional look on residential-style interior openings, the Omnia 442/00 is a single dummy knob latchset with a 2-5/8 inch rose and the Omnia 458/0 is a single dummy latchset described with a 2-3/8 inch backset, both solid brass. The W12 is the commercial-rated choice, at Grade 2 with a medium duty rating for commercial use.
18) Our doors are prepped at a 2-3/8 inch backset - can I still use a Falcon W12 dummy knob?
The Falcon W12 is built around a 2-3/4 inch backset. Because a single dummy is surface-mounted trim rather than a latching chassis, backset matters less than it does on a functioning lock, but where a 2-3/8 inch prep drives the choice the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore passage knob and the Baldwin Estate 5000 privacy version are both preconfigured at a 2-3/8 inch backset with a full lip strike, and the Omnia 458/0 single dummy latchset is described at a 2-3/8 inch backset. The Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob ships as a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick.
19) What should I use instead of a Falcon W12 on a high-traffic opening?
The Falcon W12 is rated medium duty at Grade 2. Where the traffic calls for a heavier chassis, the Schlage D10S passage latch is Grade 1 heavy duty with an Orbit knob, the Sargent 8XG04 storeroom/closet knob is Grade 1 heavy duty with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the BEST 8K Series entrance knob is Grade 1 heavy duty. Note that all three latch or lock; the W12 is dummy trim, so the swap only applies where the door actually needs to operate.
20) Are exit device knob trims interchangeable with a cylindrical dummy knob?
No. The Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim with knob and rose for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only in the 7800 Series, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is knob trim for the ED-500 exit device series - all three mount to an exit device chassis, not to a bored cylindrical prep. The Falcon W12 is a cylindrical dummy knob for a standard bored door prep with a 2-3/4 inch backset, so the two families do not cross over.
21) What is the difference between the Falcon W12 dummy and a passage knob like the Arrow MK01?
The Arrow MK01 and Arrow RK01 are Grade 2 non-keyed passage/hall/closet knobs for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and their knobs turn to retract a latch that holds the door shut. The Falcon W12 is Grade 2 dummy function over the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thickness range, and its knob is fixed trim with nothing to retract. Buyers standardizing a floor often take both: passage sets on doors that must stay closed and dummy trim on the inactive leaves and closet fronts that latch elsewhere.
22) What does installing a Falcon W12 dummy knob involve - do I need a full lock bore?
Mounting is simple: the chassis is secured to the door by two screws through the steel rose insert and two into the chassis assembly, using the manufacturer template to mark the holes. Since it's dummy trim there's no latch to mortise into the door edge and no strike to cut into the frame, so it goes on a face bore only. That also means an old lock prep can be trimmed over without new frame work.
23) Is the Falcon W12 knob an electronic or connected lock?
Purely mechanical. There's no electrified option on the W12 knob, no wiring, and nothing to fail when power drops. It behaves identically on a generator, on battery backup, or on a dead circuit.
24) Which Falcon documents cover the W12 knob specs and W Series options?
Falcon publishes a T Series and W Series data sheet and a W Series sell sheet covering the function and trim options, a cylindrical lock guide for the bored lock line, and the full Falcon locks catalog. For apartment and multi-family work where the dummy is being specified alongside keyed openings, Allegion's multi-family suiting solutions catalog covers how the functions are grouped across a unit.
25) Can I mix a Grade 3 knob with a Falcon W12 on the same set of doors?
Mechanically nothing stops it, but the ratings differ. The Falcon W12 is Grade 2 with ANSI/BHMA F86 certification and a medium duty rating for commercial use. Grade 3 knobs such as the Cal-Royal BER00 entrance/office, the Pamex FT3 Saturn, the Callan Canova entrance knobset, and the Delaney Belton entrance knobset sit a grade below. Facilities standardizing to a Grade 2 spec on a submittal usually stay in-grade across the opening, and the Bravura Albany and Lynchburg passage knobsets and Callan Edgewood entrance knobset are Grade 2 options for the doors that do need to latch.
26) We want keyless entry on a service door - is a dummy knob any part of that?
No. The Falcon W12 is non-keyed dummy trim with no operating mechanism. For keyless access, the Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with an auto-locking passage function that fits doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch thick, which is a wider thickness range than the 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch the W12 covers. A W12 can still go on the opposite face or on an adjacent inactive leaf where only fixed trim is wanted.
