Overview
About this product
The Falcon W161 Quantum is a Grade 2 cylindrical communicating/exit latch from the W Series (ANSI F111). Only the inside has a lever; the outside gets a non-removable blank plate. It is meant for doors that should open from one side only, such as exit-only doors and openings that need no access from the far side.
The Q Quantum lever drives a deadlocking stainless steel latch with a 1/2 inch throw. Fire-rated openings are covered: it is listed to an A Label with a 3-hour rating. Plan for a 2-3/4 inch backset and a 2.125 inch bore through the door.
What the function does
The inside lever retracts a deadlocking latch bolt. The outside has a non-removable blank plate with no lever, so the door cannot be opened from that side. The inside is always free for immediate egress.

Can the door be opened from the outside?
Not with this hardware. The outside face is a blank plate with no lever, cylinder or button.
Does it lock anyone in?
No. The inside lever always opens the door, so people can leave at any time.
What finishes does the Quantum W161 come in?
It is offered in finishes 613, 619, 622, 625, 626 and 643E. Pick the finish code that matches the rest of the hardware on the door.
What door prep does it need?
A standard cylindrical prep: a 2.125 inch cross bore at a 2-3/4 inch backset. The strike is an ANSI 1-1/4 inch x 4-7/8 inch with a 1-1/4 inch lip and square corners.
Can it go on a fire-rated door?
Yes. It is UL listed with an A Label and carries a 3-hour fire rating, so it can be used on labeled openings within that rating.

Yes. The product specifications list ADA as Yes for this lever.
