Overview
About this product
The Falcon MA531 is an MA Series mortise lock with the apartment corridor function (ANSI F12/F20), shown here in the Latitude-Gala trim (LTG). It suits apartment and condominium unit entries off a shared corridor. The function determines what each lever, key and turn does, so it is worth matching to how the room is used.
It is rated Grade 1 under ANSI/BHMA 156.13 and UL listed. Finishes offered: 605, 606, 619, 622, 625, 626, 643E. Cylinder choices: 6-pin conventional cylinder (Schlage C); Conventional cylinder; LFIC prep, less core; SFIC prep, less core.
What the function does
The lever on either side retracts the latch bolt unless the buttons in the lock face have made the outside lever inoperative. The dead bolt is operated by key from outside or by turn from inside, and the outside key operates both bolts. Operating the inside lever retracts both bolts, and the outside stays locked.

What happens when someone leaves using the inside lever?
Operating the inside lever retracts both the latch bolt and the dead bolt. The outside lever stays locked, so the door is not left unlocked behind them.
How is the dead bolt locked and unlocked?
By key from the outside or by the turn on the inside. A key used from outside operates both bolts.
How is the outside lever locked?
With the buttons in the face of the lock on the door edge. When set, the outside lever is inoperative until it is unlocked again.
Is this trim listed for fire doors?
The specifications for this trim confirm it is UL listed but does not state a fire rating, so confirm the rating before using it on a labeled fire door.
What cylinder options are available?
This lock is offered as 6-pin conventional cylinder (Schlage C); Conventional cylinder; LFIC prep, less core; SFIC prep, less core. Choose based on whether your building uses conventional keying or an interchangeable core system.
