Product Usage Instructions:

Installation Preparation:

  1. Mark the door:

    • Fold the template as shown with the fold on the high edge of
      the door bevel. Position the template centerline on the door height
      line, suggested height is 38″ (97 cm) from the finished floor.

    • Mark the door at the indicated positions. For single dummy
      function (T12), mark only the two through-bolt holes.

    • If steel frames are used, ensure that the latch centerline is
      in line with the center of the strike preparation on the
      frame.

  2. Prepare the door:

    • Notice: When drilling through the door, drill from both sides
      to avoid splintering wood.

    • Drill through-bolt holes and mortise as marked on the
      door.

    • Adjust for door thickness if necessary. Use a drill guide to
      ensure straight and level holes. If using the Falcon optional drill
      guide, make certain the correct backset locators are even with the
      door edge.

Lock Installation:

  1. Install the latch:

    • Ensure that the bevel faces toward the door stop.
  2. Install chassis and outside trim assembly:

    • Unlock the lock.
    • Slide the chassis and outside trim assembly into the door.
    • Make sure the lock housing engages the latch prongs and the
      retractor engages the latch tail.
  3. Install inside trim assembly:

    • Slide the chassis onto the outside trim and secure the trim
      retaining screw.

Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT: This lock is non-handed. Lock is factory packed preadjusted for 1³/” (45 mm) thick doors. To adjust the lock for other door thickness, see “Adjust for door thickness (if necessary)”. Spacers must be used for doors thinner than 1³/” (45 mm) thick. For functions T351, T381, T561 and T571, see “Timing instructions” for standard cylinder and IC core cylinder timing instructions.

For single dummy function (T12), go to step 7.

Door hand is determined from the outside.

Installation Preparation

A Mark the door.
a. Fold the template as shown with the fold on the high edge of door bevel. Position template centerline on door height line (suggested height is 38″ (97 cm) from nished oor).
b. Mark the door at positions indicated:
· One 2¹/” hole
· Two notches on sides of the 2¹/” hole (notches must be horizontal)
· Two through-bolt holes
· One latchbolt hole on the door edge.
L For single dummy function (T12), mark only the two through-bolt holes.
L If preparing a door with existing 2¹/” hole, fold the template in half to mark the positions for two through-bolt holes. Be sure to mark positions for the notches.
L If steel frames are used, the latch centerline must be in line with the center of the strike preparation on the frame.
