Falcon W711PD ELI 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the apartment entrance function on the Falcon W711 actually do at the door?
The W711 is an apartment entrance lock, ANSI/BHMA function F86. Outside knob is locked or unlocked by key, and the inside knob is always free for exit. It is a single cylinder, keyed lock, so there is no key cylinder on the corridor side of the unit. That is the function property managers put on unit entry doors where the resident controls the outside knob by key and egress is never blocked.
2) Will a Falcon W711 knob lock fit a 1-3/8 inch door, and does it need a specific hand?
Door thickness runs 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, which covers both older interior slabs and standard commercial 1-3/4 inch doors. Handing is a non-issue: the W711 is non-handed and installs either hand in the field without disassembly, so one part number covers left and right swings across a building.
3) Can the Falcon W711 go on a fire rated apartment corridor door?
It is UL Listed for 3 hour A label fire door applications, which covers the typical multi-family unit entry into a rated corridor. The deadlatch is required for that use, and every latch option offered is a non-restoring deadlatch.
4) Which keyway do I order on the Falcon W711 to match the keys my building already uses?
Nine cylinder choices are offered: C Schlage, G, E, H, K, L, N, P, and a less cylinder option. G is the Falcon standard. Pick C Schlage if the property is already keyed on Schlage C and you want the new locks on the existing key system rather than a second set of keys. Keying is specified separately as keyed different or keyed alike, with a key code field if you are adding to an existing system.
5) Can I buy the Falcon W711 without a cylinder so my locksmith can core it with our own SFIC?
Yes. Three cylinder configurations are available: a 6 pin conventional cylinder installed, less 6 pin cylinder, or less small format interchangeable core. Order the less SFIC version if you run a house SFIC system and want to drop your own cores in on site, which is how most multi-family and institutional key systems get kept under one master.
6) What is the closest Grade 2 keyed cylindrical knob lock to the Falcon W711 if a different brand is specified?
The Falcon W711 is a Grade 2 keyed single-cylinder cylindrical knob lock in apartment entrance function. The closest cross-brand match on grade and lock type is the Corbin Russwin CK4851, a Grade 2 entrance/office cylindrical lock with a Global knob and conventional cylinder, and the Dexter C2000 entry/office keyed ball knob, also Grade 2. Both are keyed entrance-family knobs rather than apartment entrance function, so confirm the function the opening calls for before substituting.
7) The W711 is more lock than a hall or closet door needs - what non-keyed knob covers that opening?
For an opening that only needs latching with no key, the Arrow MK01 and Arrow RK01 are Grade 2 non-keyed passage cylindrical knob locks fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the same door thickness range the Falcon W711 accepts. The Corbin Russwin CK4410 is a Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical knob with the same door range, and the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob is Grade 2 as well. All are non-keyed, so they carry no cylinder and no keyway selection.
8) For a high traffic entrance where Grade 2 is not enough, what heavy duty knob lock steps up from the W711?
The Falcon W711 is Grade 2, medium duty. Where the spec calls for Grade 1, the BEST 8K Series entrance function single cylinder knob lock is Grade 1 heavy duty, and the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet single cylinder knob with a 2-3/4 inch backset matching the W711 backset. The Corbin Russwin CK4310 passage knob is Grade 1 for the non-keyed side of the same job.
9) Which knobs look like a Falcon W711 substitute but will not lock a door at all?
Dummy knobs share the appearance but have no latch and no locking mechanism, so they cannot replace the keyed Falcon W711. That group includes the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim, the Schlage A170 single dummy trim, the Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob, the Bravura Biloxi dummy knobset, and the Omnia 434/0 and 458/0 single dummy latchsets. They are pull-only trim for inactive leaves and closet faces.
10) Is a Kwikset 400P Polo keyed entry knob an equivalent to the Falcon W711 on an apartment door?
They are not on the same footing. The Falcon W711 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical lock, UL listed for 3-hour A label fire doors, with a 2-3/4 inch backset and ANSI/BHMA F86 apartment entrance function. The Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob is Grade 3 and fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. On a fire-rated apartment corridor door the Grade 2 commercial lock is the one that answers the spec.
11) Is there a knob lock for a door thicker than 1-3/4 inch where the Falcon W711 will not reach?
The Falcon W711 accommodates door thickness from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For a thicker leaf, the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office cylindrical knob and the CK4310 passage knob both list 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Deltana 3381 Egg and 6171 Round entry knobs list 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch as well. Measure the leaf before ordering, since the keyed commercial and decorative entry options differ in what else they bring to the opening.
12) Is a Grade 2 knob lock enough for apartment unit doors, or should I be buying Grade 1?
Grade 2, ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000, is the medium duty tier and is what most residential unit entries are specified at. Where the opening sees institutional traffic, a stairwell, a mechanical room, or a school corridor, step up: BEST 8K Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty entrance knob lock, and Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom knob with a 2-3/4 inch backset. Both are keyed knob locks like the W711 but built to the higher cycle tier.
13) I need a keyed knob lock but the apartment entrance function is wrong for my door. What else should I look at?
Match the function to the door, not the brand. For an office or entry door where the outside knob is locked by push button or turn and released by key, Corbin Russwin CK4851 is a Grade 2 entrance/office cylindrical knob with a conventional cylinder, and Dexter C2000 entry/office is the Grade 2 keyed equivalent. For a storeroom door that stays locked outside at all times, Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 single cylinder storeroom knob. For a classroom where the outside knob is locked and unlocked only by key, Dexter C2000 classroom. And a closet or hall door that never locks takes a passage set such as the Corbin Russwin CK4410 Grade 2.
14) Is the Falcon W711 a direct replacement for a residential builder-grade knob lock like a Kwikset entry knob?
Not the same class of part. The Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob is Grade 3 and covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, same thickness range as the W711, so it will fit the same door. The difference is duty tier and keying: the W711 is Grade 2 commercial with selectable keyways including C Schlage and a less-SFIC option for a house key system. If you are replacing worn Grade 3 residential knobs across a multi-family property and want everything on one master, the W711 is the step up. If it is a single interior door in a house, the Grade 3 set is the like-for-like.
15) Which knob lock should be used on a bathroom or bedroom door instead of the keyed W711?
The Falcon W711 is keyed with a single cylinder, which is the wrong function for a bath or bedroom. Privacy knobs for those openings include the Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob at Grade 2, the Cal-Royal BER20 privacy knob at Grade 3 fitting 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob at Grade 3 over the same door range. Privacy knobs lock from the inside and release with an emergency tool rather than a key.
16) What knob lock fits a classroom door where the W711 apartment entrance function does not apply?
The Falcon W711 is built for apartment entrance function. For a classroom opening, the Dexter C2000 classroom cylindrical ball knob is Grade 2, keyed, and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the same door range the W711 covers. Where the door already carries an exit device, the Sargent 28C knob trim is classroom function for 1-3/4 inch doors.
17) What Grade 2 knob lock covers a storeroom door in the same building as W711 apartment entrances?
The Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 single cylinder storeroom/closet knob lock, standard duty, which matches the Falcon W711 on grade while giving the always-locked outside knob a storeroom opening needs. The Falcon W711 is Grade 2 with a single cylinder in apartment entrance function, so the two sit at the same grade with different functions across the same property.
18) What keyed knob options exist for a light residential unit door instead of a commercial Grade 2 lock?
The Falcon W711 is a commercial Grade 2 lock. On a light-use interior or residential unit door, Grade 3 keyed knobs cover the job: the Cal-Royal BER00 entrance/office knob with a Kwikset keyway fitting 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Pamex FTF Baron entrance/office knob at Grade 3 over the same range, the Master Lock BC Series Biscuit keyed entry knob, and the Callan Canova and Santo Grade 3 entrance knobsets. Grade 3 hardware is not a match for a fire-rated commercial corridor door.
19) Is a keyless combination knob lock an alternative to keying a Falcon W711 across a property?
The Falcon W711 is a keyed mechanical lock with a single cylinder and no electronics, ordered with a chosen keyway and keyed alike or keyed different. The Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with auto-locking passage function fitting doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch, so access is by code rather than by key. That removes key control and key issuance from the equation, which is a different management model than a keyed system.
20) Are decorative brass knobsets a substitute for a Falcon W711 on an apartment corridor door?
They serve a different opening. The Falcon W711 is a commercial Grade 2 cylindrical lock, UL listed for 3-hour A label fire doors. The Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage and Deltana 6112 St. Thomas are privacy knobs, and the Emtek Porcelain and Classic Crystal Georgetown and Providence knobsets are dummy sets, all aimed at interior decorative use. On a rated corridor door the commercial cylindrical lock is the correct part.
21) What finishes does the Falcon W711 come in, and can I match the other hardware in the building?
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 and 605 bright brass are the two that most commonly match existing commercial openings. Knob style is a separate choice, Elite or Hana.
22) Does the Falcon W711 need power or wiring run to the door?
No wiring. The W711 is a fully mechanical cylindrical lock, not electronic, so nothing is required at the frame beyond the strike prep. If you want keyless entry on a similar knob body without running power, the Lockey 3830 is a mechanical combination knob lock covering 1 3/16 to 2 inch doors.
23) Do the knobs on the Falcon W711 sag over time like cheap knob sets?
The W711 uses heavy-duty torsion springs rather than compression springs, which is what keeps the knob from drooping after repeated use. Body is brass and cold-formed steel with zinc plating for rust resistance, so it holds up in corridors and unheated stair landings.
24) How does a Schlage D10S compare with the Falcon W711 for a commercial opening?
The Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed passage latch with an Orbit knob, so it latches only and takes no cylinder. The Falcon W711 is Grade 2 medium duty and keyed with a single cylinder in apartment entrance function. The choice is between a higher grade with no key control and a keyed medium-duty apartment entrance lock.
25) What Grade 2 entrance knobsets are available besides the Falcon W711 for a multi-family unit door?
The Callan Edgewood and Callan Roland are Grade 2 entrance knobsets, and the Bravura Dallas, Albany and Lynchburg are Grade 2 knobsets in passage function. The Falcon W711 is Grade 2 in apartment entrance function with a 2-3/4 inch backset and an ANSI 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch curved lip strike, which is the configuration to check against the existing door prep before switching brands.
