Falcon W511LD SRD 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon W511LD fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or does it need a full 1-3/4?
Both work. The W511LD cylindrical lever lock is built for door thickness from 1-3/8 inch up to 1-3/4 inch standard, so older interior commercial doors and standard 1-3/4 inch openings both take it without a thickness kit. Door prep is a 2-1/8 inch bore with a 1 inch latch bore at a 2-3/4 inch backset.
2) My doors are prepped 2-3/8 backset. Can I use this Falcon lever lock?
No. The W511LD comes with a 2-3/4 inch backset latch, which is the deeper of the two standard commercial backsets. On a door bored for 2-3/8 inch the chassis hole will not line up with the existing cross-bore. If you need 2-3/8, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is a Grade 2 cylindrical lock built on a 2-3/8 inch backset.
3) What does storeroom function mean on this Falcon lever lock, and is it right for a supply room?
Storeroom function means the outside lever is always locked. Key retracts the latch for entry, the inside lever always allows free egress, and the door relocks behind you every time. There is no button or thumbturn to leave it unlocked, which is exactly what you want on a supply room, electrical closet, or mechanical room where the door must never be left open by accident. It is single cylinder, keyed outside only.
4) Does the Falcon W511LD come with a cylinder, or do I key it myself?
It ships less cylinder. You supply the 6-pin cylinder, and the chassis takes standard 6-pin cylinders from Falcon, Schlage, Corbin Russwin, Yale, or Sargent, so a locksmith can bring it onto whichever keyway the building already runs instead of starting a new system.
5) Will this Falcon lock latch into the strike already in my frame?
Depends on the strike prep. The W511LD carries a 1/2 inch throw stainless latchbolt with a 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inch square corner faceplate and 1 inch housing, and it ships with a 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch ANSI square corner strike, no box. If your frame is already cut for an ANSI 4-7/8 strike it drops straight in. Frames with a small T-strike or radius corner cutout will need the lip changed or the frame filed.
6) Can the Falcon W511LD go on a fire rated door?
Yes. It is UL listed for use on 3-hour door assemblies, with a 1/2 inch stainless steel bolt projection. Storeroom function suits fire rated openings because the outside stays locked while the inside lever always releases for egress.
7) What is the closest Grade 2 storeroom lever lock to the Falcon W511LD from another manufacturer?
The Hager 2580 with Withnell lever is the nearest match: it is a Grade 2 cylindrical storeroom lock, the same grade and function as the Falcon W511LD. The Cal-Royal AG05 is another Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset, with a deadlocking latchbolt and a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range that mirrors the W511LD's range. The differences come down to lever design and keyway rather than function: the W511LD uses the Dane lever and accepts standard 6-pin cylinders from Falcon, Schlage, Corbin Russwin, Yale and Sargent.
8) I need a keyed lever lock but the door should stay unlocked during business hours - what should I use instead of the Falcon W511LD?
The W511LD is a storeroom function, which means the outside lever stays locked at all times and entry is by key only. For an opening that needs to be left unlocked during the day, look at an entrance/office function instead: the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with lever handle, and the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is a Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway on a 2-3/8 inch backset. Note the backset difference - the W511LD is 2-3/4 inch, so confirm the existing door prep before swapping.
9) My door is 2 inches thick - will the Falcon W511LD fit, and if not what will?
The Falcon W511LD is built for door thickness of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch standard, so a full 2 inch door is outside that range. Hager's Grade 2 cylindrical levers cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, including the 2580 storeroom and the 2525 entry. If the opening is thicker and Grade 1 is acceptable, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 lists 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Dexter C1000 asylum function covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
10) What should I specify instead of the Falcon W511LD for a classroom door?
A storeroom function like the W511LD keeps the outside lever locked at all times, which is not what most classroom openings call for. The Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever is a Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway on a 2-3/4 inch backset, matching the W511LD's 2-3/4 inch backset so the door prep carries over. In Grade 1, the Dexter C1000 offers both a classroom and a classroom security function, the latter allowing the door to be locked and unlocked from inside as well.
11) I key everything to Schlage C - do I have to change cylinders to use the Falcon W511LD?
No. The Falcon W511LD accepts standard 6-pin cylinders from Falcon, Schlage, Corbin Russwin, Yale and Sargent, so an existing Schlage-keyed system carries over. Among comparable Grade 2 levers, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance and AG03 classroom levers ship with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different, and the Arrow MK33 asylum lock uses a conventional cylinder in Schlage C keyway. If your standard is a Yale or Sargent keyway instead, the W511LD still accommodates it without a different chassis.
12) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Falcon W511LD?
No handing to call out. The W511LD is non-handed, so one part number covers left and right hand openings, inswing and outswing. The latch front is self-adjusting and seats on both beveled and flat door edges. For a property manager stocking spares, that means one SKU on the shelf instead of two.
13) Is a Grade 2 lever lock enough for a school or hospital corridor, or should I step up to Grade 1?
The W511LD is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2, Series 4000, Grade 2 and is rated medium duty. That covers offices, retail, multi-tenant residential and general school or healthcare back-of-house doors. For high traffic corridors or doors that take abuse, a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lock such as the Corbin Russwin CL3100 Series or the BEST 9K Series is the heavier option. Both grades are commercial, the difference is cycle life and strength testing.
14) What tools and prep do I need to install the Falcon W511LD from scratch?
Standard cylindrical prep. Drill a 2-1/8 inch cross-bore through the door face and a 1 inch edge bore for the latch at a 2-3/4 inch backset, using the supplied template. The chassis secures with two screws through the steel rose insert and two into the chassis assembly. Mortise the edge for the 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inch faceplate and the frame for the 4-7/8 inch ANSI strike. You will also need a 6-pin cylinder, since the lock ships less cylinder.
15) Can I use a passage lever like the Hager 2510 in place of the Falcon W511LD on a storage room door?
No. The Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever - passage function has no cylinder and no locking at all, so it only latches the door. The Falcon W511LD is keyed with a single cylinder and a storeroom function, so the outside lever stays locked and entry requires the key. Passage levers such as the Hager 2510, Arrow GL01, Design Hardware J75 and Accentra 4601LN are correct for corridors and closets that never need to be secured, not for a storage room.
16) Would a Grade 3 residential-style entrance lever work in place of the Falcon W511LD?
Only on light-duty openings, and the function is different. The Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Falcon W511LD is a commercial Grade 2 storeroom lock certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 and UL listed for 3-hour door assemblies, so on a fire-rated or institutional opening the Grade 3 levers are not an equivalent.
17) If I want keyless entry instead of the keyed Falcon W511LD, what lever locks cover that?
The Falcon W511LD is a mechanical keyed lock with no electronic components. For keyless openings, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with ADA compliance fitting doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch, and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with adjustable backset for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors. On the electronic side, the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Keypad models are typically passage-release rather than storeroom function, so confirm the locked-state behavior matches what the W511LD was doing on that door.
18) For a utility or behavioral health room, is the Falcon W511LD the right lock or should I use an asylum function?
The W511LD storeroom function is keyed from the outside only, with the inside lever always free to exit. An asylum or institutional function keys both sides, which is what utility and secure institutional rooms often require. The Dexter C1000 F87 asylum is Grade 1 and fits 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors; the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 asylum lock in heavy duty with a conventional cylinder in Schlage C keyway, though it uses a ball knob rather than a lever, which matters where ADA lever operation is required.
19) What finish does the Falcon W511LD Dane lever come in?
626 satin chrome, the standard commercial finish that matches most existing office and institutional trim. The lever itself is pressure-cast zinc in the Dane design, mounted on heavy wrought brass or bronze roses.
20) Is the Falcon W511LD an electronic or keypad lock?
No, it is a purely mechanical keyed cylindrical lockset with no electronics, no wiring and no credential reader. If you want keyless on the same kind of door, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton lever needs no power either and fits 1-3/16 to 2 inch doors, and the Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverset.
21) Will this Falcon lock hold up in a damp or coastal building?
The internal mechanism is built for it: brass and cold-formed steel parts are zinc plated and dichromated, and the springs are stainless steel. The latchbolt is stainless as well. That is the corrosion package you want on exterior-adjacent doors, loading dock vestibules and unconditioned storage.
22) I need the same Dane lever look on a door that does not need to lock - what pairs with the Falcon W511LD?
For non-locking openings alongside keyed W511LD storeroom doors, dummy and passage trim in the same cylindrical family is the usual pairing. The BEST 7KC series single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty non-keyed lever, which matches the W511LD's Grade 2 medium duty rating, while the BEST 9K series 1DT dummy trim is Grade 1 heavy duty. The Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever. Lever styling differs by brand, so match the lever design visually if the doors are in the same sightline.
