Falcon W581PD-D 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does storeroom function actually mean on a Falcon W581 lever lock?
Outside lever stays locked at all times and is retracted only by the key; the inside lever always turns free for egress. The latch is deadlocking, so it can't be carded. That's ANSI F86. Practically: staff key in, anyone inside walks out, and the door never gets left unlocked by accident because there is no button or thumbturn to leave in the wrong position. If you need the door to stay unlocked during business hours, storeroom is the wrong function.
2) Can I use the Falcon W581 on a fire-rated storage room door?
Yes. The W581 is UL listed for 3-hour fire doors, A label, and meets ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 2. Storeroom function suits a rated opening because the inside lever always releases the latch, so the door gives free egress while staying locked from the corridor side.
3) Can I order the Falcon W581 without a cylinder so I can install my own SFIC core?
Three cylinder choices: a 6-pin conventional cylinder installed, Less 6 Pin Cylinder, or Less Small Format Interchangeable Core. The Less SFIC option is what you want if your building runs its own interchangeable core system and you core the locks yourself. Less 6 Pin suits a locksmith who pins conventional cylinders in house. If you take the conventional cylinder, keyway choices are C Schlage, G, E, H, K, L, N and P, and you pick Keyed Different, Keyed Alike or Key Code on the order.
4) Can Falcon W581 storeroom locks be keyed alike to the rest of my building?
Keyed Alike is one of the ordering options, along with Keyed Different and Key Code if you are matching an existing bitting on file. G is the standard Falcon keyway, but C Schlage is also offered, which is the practical route when a property is already on Schlage C keys and you don't want a second key ring for the storage rooms. Give the key code at order time when you're extending an existing system.
5) What else does ZenSupply carry that's an equivalent to the Falcon W581 storeroom lever?
Two close Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical alternatives: the Hager 2580 with the Withnell lever, which covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AG05 storeroom leverset with a deadlocking latchbolt at 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Hager stretches to a 2 inch leaf, which the W581 does not. Where the W581 pulls ahead is the SFIC-ready ordering option and the eight lever styles, so if you're standardizing a building on interchangeable cores it's the easier fit.
6) What is the closest Grade 2 storeroom lever lock to the Falcon W581 from another brand?
The Hager 2580 with Withnell lever is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock, the same grade and storeroom function as the Falcon W581. The Hager 2580 carries a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, so it reaches thicker doors than the W581, which covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Both are cylindrical locks with a lever handle, so the door prep concept is the same bored opening.
7) Is there a storeroom lever lock with a deadlocking latchbolt that fits the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors as the Falcon W581?
The Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt and a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, matching the Falcon W581 on grade, storeroom function, and the doors it will fit. The W581 in F86 storeroom form also uses a deadlocking latch bolt with the outside lever always locked and the inside lever always free.
8) What should I use instead of the Falcon W581 on a 2 inch thick door?
The Falcon W581 covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a 2 inch door in the same Grade 2 cylindrical lever family, the Hager 2580 storeroom lock with Withnell lever lists a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range. If the opening does not need a keyed storeroom function, the Hager 2510 passage lever lock and Hager 2525 commercial entry lever lock also list 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. For a heavy-duty option, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 passage lever is a Grade 1 vandal resistant lock listing 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch.
9) What is the difference between a storeroom lever lock and a classroom lever lock?
On the Falcon W581 the storeroom function keeps the outside lever always locked and the inside lever always free, and the key retracts the latch without ever leaving the outside lever unlocked. A classroom lock, such as the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever with a 2-3/4 inch backset and 6-pin Schlage C keyway, is keyed so the outside lever can be left unlocked or locked by key. The Dexter C1000 classroom and classroom security levers are the Grade 1 versions of that function. Pick storeroom when the door should never be left unsecured.
10) I need a lever lock on the same door prep but keyed to Schlage C - what are my options?
The Falcon W581 standard cylinder uses the G keyway, but it can be ordered on the C Schlage keyway as well, keyed different, keyed alike, or to a key code. Among other brands, the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever is a 6-pin Schlage C keyway with a 2-3/4 inch backset, the same backset the W581 uses, and the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is 6-pin Schlage C on a 2-3/8 inch backset. The Arrow MK33-BD-CS asylum lock uses a conventional cylinder in Schlage C keyway with a ball knob rather than a lever.
11) Do I have to specify handing when ordering a Falcon W581 lever?
No handing to specify. The W581 is non-handed and needs no field disassembly to re-hand, so one lock covers left and right hand openings. For a property manager buying a dozen at a time that means a single line item and no chance of a wrong-hand return.
12) Which lever and rose options come on the Falcon W581, and does the rose size matter for my door?
Seven lever styles, Avalon, Boardwalk, Broadway, Dane, Latitude, Longitude and Quantum, on either a 3-3/8 inch standard rose or a 2-9/16 inch small rose. The small rose is the one to pick where trim, a narrow stile, or an existing escutcheon footprint leaves you short of room for the 3-3/8 inch plate. The standard rose is the better choice when you're covering an older, larger prep on a retrofit.
13) Does the Falcon W581 need power or wiring?
No. The W581 is a purely mechanical key-operated lock, no wiring, no power supply, no transformer. If the storage room needs to release on an access control signal or fail safe on alarm, you want an electrified cylindrical instead, such as the Corbin Russwin CL33903 Grade 1 fail safe lever at 12VAC/DC, which fits 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.
14) What is the Grade 1 heavy-duty step up from a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lever lock?
The Falcon W581 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical lever lock. For a Grade 1 keyed cylindrical lever on a higher traffic opening, the Dexter C1000 series covers entry/office, classroom, classroom security, and asylum functions, all Grade 1, with entry/office, classroom, and classroom security listing a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range that matches the W581. The Dexter classroom and entry/office versions use a clutching mechanism. Note that none of those Dexter functions is a storeroom function, so confirm the F86 behavior is what the opening needs before substituting.
15) Can I use a dummy lever like the BEST 7KC or Accentra 455LN in place of a Falcon W581?
No. The BEST 7KC single dummy trim and the Accentra 455LN Augusta single dummy are dummy function trim - a lever fixed to the door with no latch and no keying at all. The Falcon W581 is a keyed single cylinder storeroom lock with a 1/2 inch throw latch and an ANSI 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch curved lip strike. Dummy trim is for the inactive leaf of a pair or a false pull; it will not secure or latch a storeroom door.
16) Is a Grade 3 residential lever an acceptable substitute for a Grade 2 commercial storeroom lever lock?
They are built to different standards. The Falcon W581 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical lever lock in storeroom function. Grade 3 levers such as the Cal-Royal AUS00 entrance/office lever with 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness, the Master Lock BC series return-style keyed entry lever, and the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever are entrance, passage, or office functions rather than storeroom, and carry a Grade 3 rating. If a specification calls for ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 in storeroom function, a Grade 3 entrance lever does not meet it.
17) What is the keyless alternative to a keyed storeroom lever lock for a storage room?
The Falcon W581 is a mechanical keyed lock with no electronic components, ordered with a 6-pin conventional cylinder or prepped less cylinder for SFIC. Where the goal is code access rather than keys, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is ADA compliant with a 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch door thickness range and the 2835DC adds double combination. The Lockey 1150 heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set covers 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch and the 1150S version has an adjustable backset. All of those Lockey sets are passage function, so they latch on code rather than holding a permanently locked outside lever.
18) What lever lock should I use for a utility or patient room door instead of a storeroom function?
The Falcon W581 in F86 storeroom function keeps the outside lever locked at all times and the inside lever free, which is not the behavior an asylum or utility opening usually calls for. For that function, the Dexter C1000 series asylum lock is F87 with a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is an asylum, institution, and utility function heavy duty lock with a ball knob rather than a lever.
19) Which cylindrical lever lock handles an electrified access control opening if the Falcon W581 will not?
The Falcon W581 is a mechanical lock with no electronic components. For an opening tied into access control, the Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 electrified fail safe cylindrical lever lock at 12VAC/DC with a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, offered with an NZ lever and D rose. For a standalone keypad on a lever instead, the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock.
20) I am standardizing a building on levers - what pairs with a Grade 2 storeroom lock for the passage and privacy doors?
The Falcon W581 covers the keyed storeroom doors as a Grade 2 non-handed commercial cylindrical lever. For the rest of a Grade 2 lever program, the Hager 2510 passage, Hager 2525 commercial entry, and Hager 2540 privacy locks all use the Withnell lever and list a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness. On the Accentra side, the 5301LN Augusta from the 5300 series and the 4601LN from the 4600 series are Grade 2 passage/closet levers. Matching lever family across the doors keeps the trim consistent.
21) Can I put a knob lock on the storeroom door instead of a lever lock?
The Falcon W581 uses an ADA-compliant lever. Knob versions of cylindrical locks exist in the same bored family, such as the Arrow HK11 turn-pushbutton entrance lock with a ball knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Arrow MK02-TA privacy lock with a Tudor knob, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS asylum lock with a ball knob. None of those is a storeroom function, and knobs do not satisfy ADA lever requirements on accessible routes, so check the code requirement for the facility before switching from a lever.
22) Will the Falcon W581 match the finishes on the rest of my doors?
Eight finishes are offered: 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, and 622 matte black is there for newer multi-family and hospitality schemes. Finish and lever style are chosen separately, so you can hold one lever design across a building and vary finish by area.
23) Does the Falcon W581 lever sag over time like cheaper leversets?
The W581 uses torsion springs in the chassis to hold the lever level rather than the lighter return springs found on residential grade sets, which is the usual cause of a drooping lever. Internals are brass and cold-formed steel with zinc plating for rust resistance, so it holds up in unheated storage and back-of-house areas. Grade 2 medium duty, so it's built for low to medium traffic rather than a main entrance cycled all day.
24) Are the decorative brass levers from Baldwin, Emtek, or Deltana a substitute for a commercial storeroom lever?
They serve different openings. The Falcon W581 is a commercial Grade 2 cylindrical lever lock in storeroom function with a UL listed 3-hour fire rating. The Baldwin Estate 5103 with 5048 rose is offered in passage, privacy, and left or right hand half dummy versions, the Emtek Classic Brass Cortina and Arts & Crafts leversets are sold as dummy pairs, and the Deltana Claremont 5851, Manchester 6201, Morant 6411, and Linstead 6431 are entry function levers with the Manchester, Morant, and Linstead listing a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness. None of those is a keyed storeroom function, so they suit finish-driven residential and interior work rather than a rated commercial storage door.
