Are the Schlage and Falcon cylinder compression springs the same?

The Schlage and Falcon compression springs (wave washers) for use with mortise cylinders are not the same.  

  • The Schlage compression spring L583-195 measures 1.33" in diameter and it has a width of .17".
  • The Falcon wave washer 008789-001-60 measures 1.25" in diameter and it has a width of .087".

They cannot be swapped.  The Schlage spring is too large for a Falcon collar.  The Falcon spring does not have the same height or resistance necessary to be used with the Schlage compression ring.
