Falcon W571LD A 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the corridor/dormitory function on the Falcon W571 actually do at the door?
Corridor/dormitory is the apartment-style function: the outside lever is locked or unlocked by key, and the inside lever always retracts the latch for free egress. It's a single-cylinder keyed lock, so all locking control is from the key side. That's why it turns up on apartment entries, dorm rooms and tenant doors where a resident wants to leave the door unlocked during the day and key it locked on the way out. If you need a lock that stays locked outside at all times and is never left unlocked by mistake, a storeroom function like the Cal-Royal AG05 is the right pick instead.
2) Will the Falcon W571 lever lock fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or is it 1-3/4 only?
Both. The W571 covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch doors, so it works on older interior leaves as well as standard commercial 1-3/4 inch openings. Above 1-3/4 inches it's out of range, and you'd want something like the Hager 2525, which is listed to 2 inches.
3) Do I have to specify handing when I order a Falcon W571 lever?
No handing to specify. The W571 is non-handed and does not need field disassembly to re-hand, so one lock covers left and right hand openings. For a property manager stocking spares across a building, that means a single part number sits on the shelf for every door instead of two.
4) Can the Falcon W571 go on a fire-rated door?
Yes. The W571 is UL listed for 3-hour fire door assemblies with an A label, and the deadlatch keeps the bolt from being loided when the door is closed. Corridor/dormitory function leaves the inside lever always free, which is what a rated egress door needs.
5) Can I get the Falcon W571 keyed into my existing Schlage C master key system?
Yes. Beyond Falcon's own G keyway, the W571 can be ordered in C Schlage, plus E, H, K, L, N and P. Keying is specified at order time as keyed different, keyed alike, or to a key code you supply. If your locksmith is pinning them on site, order the less-cylinder option and fit your own.
6) What is the difference between the 6-pin cylinder and the less-SFIC version of the Falcon W571?
Three cylinder builds are offered: a 6-pin conventional cylinder supplied with the lock, less 6-pin cylinder, and less small format interchangeable core. The two less options ship the lock prepped but empty so you install cores from your own system. Interchangeable cores pull for re-keying without taking the lock apart, and Falcon's cores accept cores built by other manufacturers, which is what makes the W571 workable inside an existing SFIC master key system across a facility.
7) What is the closest Grade 2 cylindrical lever lock to the Falcon W571 if I need a storeroom function instead of corridor/dormitory?
The Falcon W571 is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever lock built for corridor/dormitory function, where the key controls whether the outside lever is locked or free. If the opening needs the outside lever locked at all times with the key always retracting the latch, the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever, and the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt. Both stay in the same Grade 2 cylindrical lever category, so the door prep concept is the same; the difference is the function the key performs.
8) I need a keyed lever for a classroom door, not a dorm room. What replaces the Falcon W571?
The Falcon W571 is keyed with corridor/dormitory function. For a classroom opening, the Cal-Royal AG03 is a Grade 2 classroom lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/4 inch backset, which matches the 2-3/4 inch backset the W571 uses. The Dexter C1000 is a Grade 1 classroom cylindrical lever lock with a clutching lever, keyed, and lists a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. If the room needs to be lockable from inside as well, the Dexter C1000 classroom security version is a Grade 1 classroom security cylindrical lever lock.
9) The Falcon W571 is Grade 2. What are the Grade 1 lever options if my spec calls for heavy duty?
The Falcon W571 is a Grade 2 medium-duty cylindrical lever lock. Where a drawing calls for Grade 1, the Dexter C1000 series covers several keyed functions at Grade 1 - entry/office, classroom, classroom security, and asylum - with the entry/office, classroom and classroom security versions listing a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, the same range the W571 accommodates. The Corbin Russwin CL3100 series CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever with a fire rating and a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, though that one is passage/closet and not keyed. Confirm the door thickness before substituting, since the Corbin range starts at 1-3/4 inch.
10) What is the difference between the Falcon W571 and an entrance or office function lever?
The W571 is a corridor/dormitory function lock, where the key sets the outside lever locked or unlocked and it stays that way until the key changes it. An entrance/office lever is locked and unlocked from the inside, typically by a button or turn. The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle and a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range. The Cal-Royal AG00 is an entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different, a 2-3/8 inch backset, and a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range - note the 2-3/8 inch backset against the 2-3/4 inch backset the W571 uses. The Arrow RL series HK11 is a turn-pushbutton entrance cylindrical lock with a ball knob and conventional cylinder, listing 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness, so that one changes the trim from lever to knob.
11) My door is 2 inches thick. Will the Falcon W571 work, and what else fits that thickness?
The Falcon W571 accommodates door thickness from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so a 2 inch door is outside what it covers. Peers that list 2 inch doors include the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage and Hager 2525 Grade 2 entry levers at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 passage at 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage at 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Dexter C1000 asylum function at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Measure the leaf at the lock edge before ordering, since a thickness range that stops short is the most common reason a cylindrical chassis will not through-bolt.
12) The Falcon W571 uses a G keyway. What if my building is keyed to Schlage C?
The Falcon W571 is offered with a Schlage C keyway alongside G, E, H, K, L, N and P, so a building already keyed to Schlage C can stay on one key system without changing lock brands. If you are matching Schlage C on other hardware, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever and AG03 classroom lever are both 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS asylum lock uses a conventional cylinder in Schlage C keyway. For Yale hardware already in the building, the Accentra 107S is a Schlage cylinder adapter kit. Specify the keyway on every lock in the same order so the cylinders arrive on one system.
13) Is a Grade 2 lock like the Falcon W571 enough for an apartment building corridor?
Grade 2 to ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 is the medium-duty commercial tier, and it's the normal specification for multi-family unit entries, offices and retail back-of-house. Where traffic is heavy and abuse is expected, main entrances, school corridors, institutional doors, step up to a Grade 1 cylindrical such as the Corbin Russwin CL3100 Series or the Dexter C1000 Series. Grade 3 products like the Cal-Royal AUS00 sit below the W571 and are residential-weight.
14) What door prep does the Falcon W571 cylindrical lever need?
Standard cylindrical prep: a 2-1/8 inch cross bore through the face and a 1 inch edge bore in the door edge, per ANSI. The chassis is held by two screws through the steel rose insert and two into the chassis, and the latch front is self-adjusting for beveled or flat door edges. Any door already bored for a cylindrical knob or lever at the matching backset takes it without new holes.
15) Which lever styles and finishes does the Falcon W571 come in for matching existing hardware?
Seven lever designs are offered, Avalon, Boardwalk, Broadway, Dane, Latitude, Longitude and Quantum, in 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. 626 satin chrome is the usual commercial default, so matching the rest of a building's hardware normally means picking the lever design and staying on the finish already installed. Levers are pressure-cast zinc on wrought brass or bronze roses over steel through-bolted rose inserts.
16) I need a matching passage or privacy lever to go with the Falcon W571 on the same doors. What pairs with it?
The W571 itself is the keyed corridor/dormitory function only. For unkeyed openings in the same building at the same grade, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta and the Hager 2510 are Grade 2 cylindrical passage levers, and the Hager 2540 is the Grade 2 privacy option for bed and bath doors. Trim design will not match the Falcon lever exactly, so if a visual match matters through a corridor, keep the whole run on one brand's lever family.
17) Can the Falcon W571 be wired for access control or a card reader?
No. The W571 is a purely mechanical keyed lock with no electrification. For a powered opening you need an electrified cylindrical lock such as the Corbin Russwin CL33903, a 12VAC/DC fail safe lever. For keyless without wiring, mechanical pushbutton levers like the Lockey 2835 or the Delaney LP250 keypad leverset are the alternative.
18) Half my doors do not need to be keyed. What matches the Falcon W571 for the passage openings?
The W571 is a keyed lever lock, so on doors that only need to latch there is no reason to buy a cylinder. The Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever lock in passage/closet function, and the Accentra 4601LN is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever with Augusta trim, so the lever appearance carries between them. The Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever with the Withnell design and lists a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range. The Arrow GL01 is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage cylindrical lock with the Sierra lever and lists 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness. Keep the keyed W571 on the corridor and dorm doors and pair a passage lever on the interior openings.
19) Can I use a dummy lever from another brand to match the Falcon W571 on an inactive leaf?
A dummy trim has no latch and no chassis, so it is not a substitute for the keyed, latching W571 on any door that has to secure. For the inactive leaf of a pair or a false door, the BEST 7KC series 1DT is a Grade 2 medium-duty single dummy trim cylindrical lever, which sits at the same Grade 2 medium duty level as the W571. The BEST 9K series 1DT is the Grade 1 heavy-duty single dummy equivalent, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy-duty single dummy cylindrical lever in the 5400 series. Order the dummy for the leaf that does not move and the W571 for the one that does.
20) Is a keypad lever lock an alternative to the Falcon W571 for a dorm or corridor door?
The W571 is a mechanical, non-electronic lock keyed through a cylinder, so access is controlled by who holds the key. A keypad lever changes that to a code. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance, listing a 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Lockey 2835DC is the double combination version. The Lockey 1150 is a heavy-duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination in passage function, listing 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness, and the 1150S adds an adjustable backset. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. These are code-entry devices in passage function rather than corridor/dormitory key control, so they answer a different access question than the W571.
21) Can I use a Grade 3 residential lever in place of the Falcon W571 in an apartment building?
The W571 is a Grade 2 commercial lock. Grade 3 levers are a different duty class: the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body and a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, the Master Lock RL series is a Grade 3 return style keyed entry lockset, and the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever at 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Callan offers Grade 3 leversets as well, including the Artino entrance and the Bennett entrance with deadbolt combo. On unit interior doors that is often acceptable; on corridor and common-area doors carrying traffic from every tenant, the Grade 2 commercial W571 is the class that was specified.
22) I need an electrified lever on the same door type as the Falcon W571. What do I order?
The W571 is a mechanical lock with no electrical option. For an access-control opening on the same style of cylindrical prep, the Corbin Russwin CL33900 series CL33903 is a Grade 1 fail safe electrified cylindrical lever lock at 12VAC/DC with a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and it is also offered with the NZ lever and D rose. Fail safe means the lever unlocks on loss of power, which is the opposite of how the W571 behaves when nobody touches it, so confirm the egress and fire strategy for the opening before committing.
23) Is a privacy lever the same thing as the Falcon W571 corridor/dormitory lock?
No. The W571 is keyed with single cylinder corridor/dormitory function, so a key controls it from outside. A privacy lever has no key at all and locks only from inside the room. The Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness, the Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob and a fire rating at 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever at 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Use privacy inside bathrooms and bedrooms; use the keyed W571 where staff need key access.
24) What lever should I use for a utility or institutional room instead of the Falcon W571?
Corridor/dormitory function on the W571 lets the outside lever be left unlocked between key turns, which is not what a mechanical or utility room wants. For those rooms the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 heavy-duty asylum/institution/utility cylindrical lock with a ball knob and a conventional cylinder in Schlage C keyway, and the Dexter C1000 asylum F87 is a Grade 1 asylum/institution/utility lock with a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range. Asylum function keys both sides, so the room cannot be left standing open.
25) Will a Falcon W571 work as trim on an exit device?
No. The W571 is a bored cylindrical lockset with its own chassis and deadlatch, prepped into a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore. An exit device needs trim built for the device, not a cylindrical lock: the Corbin Russwin 585F715 is a Grade 1 lock lever for the ED8000 pushpad exit device and the CL3300 cylindrical lock series, listing a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Imperial USA ED-EL500HD is a heavy duty escutcheon lever trim in entry function for the ED-500 series. If the door already carries a pushpad device, order the matching trim rather than a cylindrical lockset.
26) Will the Falcon W571 lever sag over time like cheaper leversets?
Heavy-duty torsion springs are used in the W571 chassis specifically to keep the lever from drooping, which is the usual failure on high-traffic lever hardware. Combined with the through-bolted steel rose insert, it's built for the repeated pulls a corridor or apartment entry sees.
27) Can I match the Falcon W571 with a decorative lever on the residential side of the building?
The W571 comes in eight finishes including 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, across seven lever designs, so there is usually a finish to carry through. Where the design intent calls for decorative trim rather than a commercial chassis, the Baldwin Estate 5103 with 5048 rose is available in passage, privacy, and left or right hand half dummy, and Deltana offers the Claremont, Manchester, Morant and Linstead entry levers, with the Manchester, Morant and Linstead each listing a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range. Those are decorative entry and passage sets, not corridor/dormitory keyed function, so keep the W571 on the doors that need that key control.
