The Falcon 022106-002-55 is the OEM RU Series Retractor for the Falcon T Series cylindrical lock, confirmed as Item 7 in the T Series chassis assembly diagram across all 14 T Series functions in the official Falcon T Series Parts Manual (doc 108002). The 022106-002-55 is the retractor cam body, the component that converts rotational spindle motion into linear latch bolt retraction. It is also shared with the Falcon RU Series retrofit cylindrical lock, which accounts for the "RU Series Retractor" designation in the product name. In stock.

What the 022106-002-55 Retractor Does in the T Series Chassis

The complete T Series chassis assembly diagram from the T Series Parts Manual lists 14 numbered components for the T101 Passage Latchset chassis. The 022106-002-55 occupies Item 7, positioned in the mechanism chain between the Spindle (Item 6: 030733-000-55) and the Retractor Insert pair (Item 8: 022986-001-50).

The mechanism works as follows. When the lever is turned, it rotates the Spindle (Item 6), which is the connecting rod between the inside and outside lever hubs. The Spindle has machined cam surfaces. The 022106-002-55 Retractor has corresponding cam engaging surfaces that bear against the Spindle cam surfaces as the Spindle rotates. The Spindle cam converts the rotational force into a linear push on the Retractor. The Retractor moves linearly toward the latch bolt and pushes on the Retractor Insert pair (Item 8), which in turn contacts the tailpiece of the latch bolt assembly, retracting the latch bolt against the spring. The Retractor Spring pair (Item 9: 022108-001-60) returns the Retractor to its rest position after the lever is released. The Retractor Spring Retainer (Item 10: 022112-000-30) holds the springs in correct alignment within the chassis housing.

The 022106-002-55 is the cam body only. It does not include the Retractor Insert (022986-001-50), the Retractor Spring (022108-001-60), or the Retractor Spring Retainer (022112-000-30). These four components together form the complete retractor sub-assembly in the T Series chassis.

Why One Retractor Covers Every Falcon T Series Function

The T Series catalog covers 14 distinct lock functions from T101 (Passage) through T881 (Electrified Storeroom, Fail Secure). Each function has different locking characteristics determined by the control mechanism components in the chassis: slides, slide catches, push buttons, cylinders, and electrified solenoids or motors. These control components determine when the outside lever spindle is permitted to engage the retractor and retract the latch bolt.

The 022106-002-55 retractor itself performs identically in every function. It receives cam force from the spindle and delivers linear force to the retractor insert, regardless of which function the chassis is configured for. This is why the Falcon T Series Parts Manual lists the 022106-002-55 in all 14 function chassis assembly diagrams - T101, T291, T301, T351, T381, T411, T501, T511, T521, T561, T571, T581, T851, and T881 - in both standard cylinder and Interchangeable Core variants across 28 total configurations.

Falcon RU Series and T Series: Shared Retractor Architecture

The Falcon RU Series is the Retrofit Upgrade cylindrical lever lock designed for installation over existing door preparations without requiring new hole routing. The RU Series chassis uses the same 022106-002-55 retractor as the T Series chassis, which is confirmed by the "RU Series Retractor" designation applied to this T Series part number in the official Allegion distributor listings.

The shared retractor between the T and RU Series reflects the common chassis architecture underlying both product lines. The outer installation profile and trim attachment mechanism differ between the two lines to accommodate their respective installation methods, but the core latch retraction mechanism uses the same cam-engaging retractor component in both product families. This makes the 022106-002-55 one of the highest-volume service replacement parts across the Falcon cylindrical lock catalog, covering every current T Series and RU Series installation manufactured after July 2007 per the T Series Parts Manual edition date.
