The Falcon 005164-000 is the OEM ANSI Strike, 1-1/4 inch x 4-7/8 inch Standard, documented in the Falcon T Series Parts Manual as the factory-default strike for all Falcon T Series Grade 1 cylindrical locks. The lip length is 1-3/16 inches, which is the standard configuration shipped with every factory-default T Series lock order. It ships without a dust box. Finish must be specified at time of order. In stock.

The 005164-000 is the standard replacement strike for any T Series installation that uses the factory-default frame preparation. If the installed frame has a non-standard door stop profile requiring a shorter lip, the alternate 7/8 inch lip strike should be verified against the frame geometry before ordering. The 005164-000 with the 1-3/16 inch lip is the correct choice for the large majority of T Series service calls on standard commercial hollow metal frames.

Why 1-3/16 Inch Is the Standard Lip Length for the Falcon T Series ANSI Strike

The lip is the angled extension on the strike plate that projects from the keeper opening toward the door edge. It creates a ramp that the spring latch bolt rides over as the door swings into the closed position, directing the latch bolt tip cleanly into the keeper box without requiring the door to be precisely aligned at the moment of contact. If the lip is too short, the latch bolt tip contacts the face of the strike plate rather than riding the ramp, causing drag, premature latch wear, and incomplete latching. If the lip is too long, it can interfere with the door stop or create binding as the door closes.

The 1-3/16 inch dimension on the 005164-000 matches the standard commercial hollow metal door frame geometry used in the majority of institutional and commercial buildings. Standard hollow metal frames have a door stop setback that requires approximately 1-3/16 inch of lip to bridge the space between the strike box opening and the door edge when the door is in the closed position. This is confirmed across all T Series function specifications, where the factory-default strike lip length is consistently listed as 1-3/16 inch.

Falcon 005164-000 ANSI Strike: T Series Function Coverage

The 005164-000 is the standard strike for all 24 Falcon T Series function variants documented in the Falcon T Series Parts Manual. Coverage includes T101 (Passage), T291 (Hospital Privacy), T301 (Privacy), T351 (Closet), T381 (Classroom Security), T411 (Asylum), T501 (Entry), T511 (Entry/Office), T521 (Office), T561 (Classroom), T571 (Dormitory), T581 (Storeroom), T851 (Electrified Storeroom, Fail Safe), and T881 (Electrified Storeroom, Fail Secure). All 14 functions are available in standard cylinder and IC (Interchangeable Core) variants, giving 24 configurations total. The same 005164-000 standard strike serves all of them.

The T Series is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2, Series 4000, Grade 1. It is UL Listed for 3-hour A label fire doors. The standard latch for keyed T Series functions is a square corner deadlocking deadlatch with a 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch faceplate at 2-3/4 inch backset. The 005164-000 keeper opening is sized to receive this standard latch bolt configuration, with the 1-1/4 inch x 4-7/8 inch face plate conforming to the ANSI A115.2 door frame preparation standard for cylindrical lock strikes.

Falcon Cylinder Parts: Finish Options and Ordering for the 005164-000

Eight finishes are available for the 005164-000: 605 (Bright Brass), 606 (Satin Brass), 613 (Oil Rubbed Bronze), 619 (Satin Nickel), 622 (Powder-Coated Matte Black), 625 (Bright Chrome), 626 (Satin Chrome), and 643E (Aged Bronze). The finish must match the installed lever trim and rose to maintain a consistent appearance across the complete door hardware assembly. Finish must be specified at time of order -the 005164-000 base part number covers all eight finish options.

The 005164-000 ships without a dust box. Where the installation requires a dust box behind the strike to seal the frame pocket, the ANSI dust box is ordered separately. The strike plate itself seats flush in the ANSI-standard 4-7/8 inch frame pocket and is secured to the frame with the provided mounting screws.
