Falcon W18 D 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does a Falcon W18 double dummy lever actually do, and does it latch?
There's no latch and no moving mechanism. The Falcon W18 is dummy trim: a fixed lever mounted on each face of the door, used as a pull. It's non-keyed, so nothing locks and nothing retracts. Typical uses are the inactive leaf of a pair, closet or wardrobe doors held shut by a ball catch or magnetic catch, and false doors that need matching trim. If you need the door to stay closed on its own, order a passage function lock instead.
2) Is the Falcon W18 a single dummy or a double dummy? I only need a lever on one side.
Double dummy, so it's levers on both faces of the door. If only one side of the opening is visible or usable, you're paying for a lever you won't hang. Single dummy trim alternatives ZenSupply carries include the BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim, a Grade 2 medium duty match to the W18's duty level, or the BEST 9K Series 1DT if you want Grade 1 heavy duty on the same opening.
3) Will the Falcon W18 fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or does it need a 1-3/4?
Both work. The W18 covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch door thickness, which spans the standard commercial 1-3/4 leaf and the thinner 1-3/8 interior doors common in older buildings and apartment interiors. Prep is standard cylindrical: 2-3/4 inch backset with a 3-3/8 inch rose diameter.
4) Can I put a Falcon W18 dummy lever on a fire rated door?
Yes. The W18 is UL listed for 3-hour fire door assemblies and carries ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 2 certification, which is what an institutional or MRO spec normally calls for on a medium duty opening. That matters most on the inactive leaf of a rated pair, where the dummy trim is the pull and the rated hardware lives elsewhere on the opening.
5) How do I get the dummy lever to match the keyed Falcon W Series locks already on my other doors?
Match on lever style and finish. The W18 comes in the Dane (D) and Quantum (Q) lever designs across five finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome. Both lever styles are offered in all five of those finishes. Pick the same lever design and finish code as the functioning W Series locks on the rest of the openings and the closet or inactive leaf reads identically to the doors that actually latch.
6) I need a lever on a closet door that stays shut. Should I get a dummy or a passage lock?
Passage, if the door has to hold itself closed. A dummy lever is fixed trim with no latch, so the door needs a catch or a magnet to stay shut. A passage lockset has a working latchbolt and a lever that retracts it, with no locking. Grade 2 passage options ZenSupply stocks include the Accentra 5301LN Augusta and the Hager 2510 with the Withnell lever, which covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. Use the W18 only where the door is held by something else, or on the leaf that never opens.
7) My door is 2 inches thick - will a Falcon W18 fit, or do I need a different lever?
The Falcon W18 covers door thickness from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For a 2 inch door, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever and the Dexter C1000 asylum function both list 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage lever lists 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Those are latching functions rather than dummy trim, so match the function to the opening as well as the thickness.
8) What is the closest Grade 2 dummy lever trim to the Falcon W18 if I need to standardize on a different brand?
The BEST 7KC Series 1DT is the nearest match in specification terms. Both are medium duty, Grade 2, non-keyed cylindrical dummy lever trim. The Falcon W18 is a double dummy, meaning trim on both faces of the door, while the BEST 7KC 1DT is single dummy trim for one face only. For a pair of doors or a single door needing pull trim on both sides, count accordingly.
9) The door needs to latch shut - what do I order instead of a Falcon W18 dummy?
A dummy has no latch at all; the Falcon W18 is dummy trim only. For a door that must latch but does not need to lock, order a passage function lever such as the Accentra 5301LN Augusta Grade 2, the Accentra 4601LN Grade 2, the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 with Sierra lever, or the Hager 2510 Grade 2 with Withnell lever. All four are Grade 2 passage cylindrical levers.
10) Is a passage lever the same thing as a dummy lever?
No, and they are the most commonly confused pair. The Falcon W18 is a dummy: the lever is fixed trim, it does not rotate a latch, and there is nothing holding the door closed. A passage lever such as the Accentra 5301LN Augusta or the Design Hardware J75 operates a latchbolt that keeps the door shut until the lever is turned. Both are non-keyed Grade 2 levers, so the names look interchangeable on a submittal, but only the passage version latches.
11) The opening needs privacy or a key - can a Falcon W18 be converted?
No. The Falcon W18 is non-keyed dummy trim with no latch and no cylinder, so there is nothing to convert. For privacy on a restroom or bedroom door, the Hager 2540 Grade 2 with Withnell lever or the Arrow MK02-TA privacy lock cover that function. For a keyed opening, the Hager 2525 Grade 2 entry lever, the Hager 2580 Grade 2 storeroom lever with Withnell trim, or the Cal-Royal AG05 Grade 2 storeroom lever with deadlocking latchbolt are the keyed equivalents.
12) Do I have to specify handing when I order a Falcon W18 dummy lever?
No handing to specify. The W18 is non-handed and doesn't need field disassembly to re-hand, so one part number covers left and right hand openings. For a property manager stocking spares across a building, that means a single SKU per finish and lever style rather than a left and right of each. Compare that with something like the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy, which is ordered as a distinct left hand or right hand part.
13) Does the Falcon W18 dummy lever take a cylinder or an interchangeable core?
Nothing to key. Dummy trim has no cylinder, so there is no core to install and no keyway to specify on the order. Locksmiths working a suite should key the functioning locks on the opening and treat the W18 purely as trim. If the door needs to be keyed, the W18 is the wrong function.
14) Will a dummy lever sag over time on a closet door people yank on?
The W18 uses heavy-duty torsion springs specifically to stop lever sag, and the levers themselves are solid pressure-cast zinc finished to match the mating parts. It's rated medium duty for commercial use, which suits retail, multi-family, government and industrial low-traffic openings. For a high abuse opening in a school or transit environment, step up to a Grade 1 heavy duty dummy such as the BEST 9K Series 1DT.
15) Does mounting a Falcon W18 dummy lever need the full cylindrical bore prep in the door?
Prep to the standard cylindrical pattern using the templates that come with the lock: 2-3/4 inch backset, 3-3/8 inch rose. The chassis is secured by two screws that pass through the steel rose insert and thread into the outer rose-mounting assembly, plus two additional chassis screws. If you're retrofitting an existing cylindrical opening on a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door, the holes are already there.
16) What is the difference between the Falcon W18 and a Grade 3 residential lever?
The Falcon W18 is an ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 commercial cylindrical lever. Grade 3 levers such as the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy, the Cal-Royal AUS00 entrance/office, and the Callan Asheville passage sit at a lower ANSI grade. The Kwikset Breton pair and the Cal-Royal AUS00 all list 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness, the same range the W18 covers, so the fit is comparable while the grade and the function differ.
17) What dummy lever should I use on a decorative residential-style opening rather than a commercial one?
The Falcon W18 is a commercial Grade 2 cylindrical dummy with pressure-cast zinc levers in commercial finishes. For decorative openings, the Emtek Arts and Crafts dummy pair, the Emtek Hammered lever dummy pair, and the Emtek Classic Brass Cortina dummy pair are all supplied as dummy pairs in decorative styling. The Callan Bentley is another Grade 2 dummy lever.
18) I want the same lever look across a floor where some doors are dummies and some are passage - what pairs with the Falcon W18?
The Falcon W18 double dummy comes in Dane and Quantum lever styles across 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome. To keep one lever profile across mixed functions from a single line, the Accentra Augusta family runs both a Grade 1 single dummy in the 5400 Series and a Grade 2 passage in the 5300 Series, and the Hager Withnell lever appears on the 2510 passage, the 2540 privacy and the 2580 storeroom.
19) Is an escutcheon lever trim for an exit device a substitute for a Falcon W18 dummy?
No. The Corbin Russwin 585F715 lock lever is trim for the ED8000 pushpad exit device, and the Imperial USA ED-EL500HD is heavy duty escutcheon lever trim for an entry function exit device. Both mount to an exit device chassis. The Falcon W18 is a cylindrical dummy that mounts to a standard bored door prep with 2-3/4 inch backset, so the two are not interchangeable on the same door prep.
20) We are moving to keyless entry on some doors - what replaces a dummy lever there?
A dummy has no latch, so a keyless unit is a change of function, not a like-for-like swap. The Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is passage function with ADA compliance and fits 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch doors; the Lockey 1150 heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination covers 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch. For electronic, the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. The Falcon W18 itself is non-electronic.
