Falcon T-Series Entry Office Quantum Lever Lock Instruction Manual

T-Series Installation Instructions

Extra Heavy Duty Lockset

IMPORTANT: This lock is non-handed. Lock is factory packed preadjusted for 1³⁄₄” (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 1³⁄₄” (45 mm) thick. For functions T351, T381, T561 and T571, see “Timing instructions” for standard cylinder and IC core cylinder timing instructions.

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 2¹⁄₈” hole
• Two notches on sides of the 2¹⁄₈” hole (notches must be horizontal)
• Two through-bolt holes
• One latchbolt hole on the door edge.

For single dummy function (T12), mark only the two through-bolt holes.
  If preparing a door with existing 2¹⁄₈” hole, fold the template in half to mark the positions for two through-bolt holes. Be sure to mark positions for the notches.
If steel frames are used, the latch centerline must be in line with the center of the strike preparation on the frame.

B Prepare the door.

a. Drill a 2¹⁄₈” (54 mm) hole through the door.
b. Drill two ⁵⁄₁₆” (8 mm) through-bolt holes.

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

Note: A drill guide is recommended 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.

c. Drill 1″ hole on door edge to intersect with 2¹⁄₈” hole.
d. Using the latch faceplate as a guide, trace outline and mortise the door edge so the  latchwill be ush with the door.
**** If using ³⁄₄” projection latch additional preparation is required. See “3/4 inch projection latch preparation” for details.
e. File two notches ⁵⁄₃₂” (4 mm) x ⁵⁄₃₂” (4 mm), ¹⁄₈” (3 mm) deep on both sides of the door.

For wood door jambs:

• Close the door and mark the position for the hole in the jamb using a strike locating tool or other pointed object.
• Open the door and drill a 1″ (25 mm) hole, at least ³⁄₄” (19 mm) deep, in the jamb.

Adjust for door thickness (if necessary)

For 1³⁄₄” (45 mm) thick doors, skip to step 1.
If door is not 1³⁄₄” (45 mm) thick, complete the following steps toadjust for door thickness.
A Remove outside trim retaining screw and slide the outside trim from the chassis.

B Place template against retractor housing to locate door thickness mark.

C For doors greater than1³⁄₄” (45 mm)

• Use hex wrench (included) to rotate the anged nut counterclockwise.

• Use the template to con rm accurate adjustment.
  Note: Three (3) full turns = ¹⁄₈” (3 mm).

• Pinch the button mount legs together and move the button cap to the desired position.

For doors less than1³⁄₄” (45 mm)

• Use hex wrench (included) to remove the anged nut.
• Remove the outside mounting plate.
• Place one spacer over the outside chassis spindle.
• Reinstall outside mounting plate and anged nut.
• Place the adjusting gauge against retractor housing and make any necessary additional adjustments to the anged nut for proper door thickness.
• Install the second spacer with the inside mounting plate at step 3.

D Slide the chassis on to the outside trim and secure the trim retaining screw.

Lock Installation

1. Install the latch.
   The bevel must face toward the door stop.

2. Install chassis and outside trim assembly.
   2a Unlock the lock.
   2b 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 mounting plate.
   3a Place inside mounting plate over chassis assembly.
   Make sure the tabs engage with the notches in the door.
   For doors less than 1³⁄₄” thick only, install the spacer.
   3b Use the hex wrench (included) to tighten the anged nut over the chassis.
   
   

4. Install inside trim assembly.
   Place the inside trim assembly over the chassis spindle.
   Through posts will engage the assembly on 1³⁄₄” (45 mm) thick doors.
   

5. Install inside rose and lever.
   5a Position the rose over the inside trim assembly.
   Make sure the rose detent engages the groove in the trim assembly.
   
   5b Install the lever and tighten the set screw with the hex key (included).
   IMPORTANT! Test operation to be sure the latchbolt moves freely. DO NOT FORCE!
   If the lock does not operate properly:
   Remove the lock from the door and check door preparation (see “Installation Preparation”) and door thickness adjustment (see “Adjust for door thickness (if necessary)).
   For T351, T381, T561 and T571 only, check lock timing (see “Timing instructions” ).
   Go back to step 2 to reinstall the lock.

6. Prepare the door jamb and install the strike.
   When installing on a wood door jamb, complete steps 6a and 6b:
   6a Center the strike opening over 1″ (25 mm) hole in jamb.
   Then, trace the outline around the strike on the door jamb.
   6b Mortise the door jamb to accommodate the strike dust box and the strike faceplate.
   6c Insert the strike box if required and fasten the strike to the jamb with appropriate screws as shown.
   
   CAUTION
   Deadlocking plunger of the latchbolt must not enter the opening in the strike plate.

Note: When the strike box is not used, the recess in the jamb must be a minimum of ⁹⁄₁₆” (14 mm) deep to allow the latchbolt to extend to its full projection.

7. Install single dummy (T12) trim.
   7a Using the template described at step A, locate and mark the center for two (2) mounting holes.
   Wood doors: Drill two (2) pilot holes ⁵⁄₃₂” (4 mm) x ⁷⁄₈” (22 mm) deep for #12 wood screws.
   Metal doors: Drill and tap two (2) holes for #12-24 machine screws.
   7b Secure the inside trim/spindle assembly to the door with the appropriate screws.
   7c See step 5 for rose and lever installation.
