Falcon W581LD-A 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a storeroom function lock and how does it work?
Storeroom function keeps the outside lever locked at all times. Entry requires a key from outside. Inside lever always operates freely for egress. Ideal for storage rooms, utility closets, and restricted access areas.
2) What door thickness does the Falcon W581 accommodate?
Standard cylindrical locks typically fit 1-3/4" to 2-1/4" door thickness. Check manufacturer specifications for exact range. Verify your door thickness before ordering to ensure proper installation.
3) Is this lock handed or universal?
Most Falcon cylindrical locks are field reversible for left or right hand doors. The lever handles can typically be rotated during installation. Confirm handing requirements with your door swing direction.
4) What backset does this lock require?
Standard cylindrical locks use 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" backset. Most models are adjustable between these measurements. Measure from door edge to center of existing bore hole to determine your backset requirement.
5) What does Grade 2 certification mean?
Grade 2 meets ANSI/BHMA standards for medium-duty commercial use. Provides good security and durability for office buildings, schools, and light commercial applications. Higher performance than residential grade locks.
6) Can I key this lock to match existing cylinders?
Yes, most Falcon locks accept standard IC cores or can be rekeyed by a locksmith. For master keying or matching existing systems, consult with a qualified locksmith about cylinder options and key control.
7) What tools are needed for installation?
Basic installation requires screwdrivers and possibly a chisel for strike plate mortising. For new installations, you'll need a door lock boring jig, 2-1/8" hole saw, and 1" spade bit. Follow manufacturer's template precisely.
8) How do I adjust the lever return spring tension?
Most Falcon cylindrical locks have internal spring mechanisms that are factory-set. If levers don't return properly, check for binding or obstruction first. Spring tension adjustments typically require disassembly and may void warranty.
9) What finish options are available for the W581?
Falcon typically offers multiple finishes including satin chrome, polished brass, satin brass, and oil-rubbed bronze. Finish availability may vary by model. Choose finishes that match existing hardware for consistent appearance.
10) Are replacement parts available for this lock?
Common replacement parts like cylinders, springs, and levers are typically available. For specific parts identification, reference the lock's model number and date code. Contact manufacturer or locksmith supplier for parts availability.
11) Can this lock work with electronic access control?
Mechanical cylindrical locks can integrate with electric strikes or electromagnetic locks for access control systems. The lock itself remains mechanical, but door release can be controlled electronically. Consult access control specialists for integration options.
12) How does this compare to other Falcon cylindrical lock functions?
Storeroom function provides the highest security among standard cylindrical functions. Unlike entry or privacy functions, outside access always requires a key. Consider classroom, office, or passage functions for applications requiring different access patterns.
