CARMEL, IND. - April
13, 2010 - Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies today announced that its new
upgraded Falcon MA Series mortise locks set new standards for applications
in a range of industries including institutions, office, healthcare, education,
and multi-family. The MA Series locks supersede the popular Falcon M Series
locks during the second quarter of 2010. The MA Series provides ANSI/BHMA
A156.13-2005 Series 1000, Grade 1 Operational and Grade 1 Security with standard
trims and conventional cylinders making it one of Falcon's toughest, most
dependable locks.
"The
new Falcon MA Series locks provide the same finish and trim styles as its
predecessor with an increased number of ANSI functions," affirms Marli
Williams, Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies product manager. "However,
dealers and users will find new attributes such as easier re-handing, stainless
steel deadbolt and two-piece anti-friction latchbolt, environmentally friendly
plated lock case and non-handed strike."
With the
new Falcon MA Series locks, re-handing is accomplished without opening the
mortise chassis. Installers simply remove a set-screw and, then, remove, rotate
and reinstall the latchbolt and set screw in the case. Two screws are also
moved to the other side of the case.
