Did the W501 lock operation change?

Changes to the Falcon W501 latch offering were made on 2/13/2012.  

Prior to 2/13/2012: The W501 entry lock was supplied with a restoring latch which causes the button to pop and unlock the outside lever when the door is shut.  

Post 2/13/2012: The W501 began shipping with a non-restoring latch. This will allow the customer to depress the inside button and shut the door without the outside lever unlocking.  

New W501 Entry Lock Description (ANSI F82): 

  • Entry lock—Push button locking. Button on inside locks outside lever until unlocked by key or by rotating inside lever. Closing door does not release push button or unlock door. Inside lever always free. Deadlock latchbolt. Key outside unlocks, but does not lock the door.
