The Falcon AE87012-OC is the Grade 1 Napa (N) escutcheon for the exterior side of Falcon MA Series mortise locks. It provides both lever and cylinder openings and is designed for exterior-only installation- this is the outside-face escutcheon plate in the Napa trim style, not a full trim set. It's compatible with all Falcon MA Series functions except MA301, MA311, MA321, MA921, MA931, and MA941. Confirm the installed function before ordering- those six excluded functions each have their own dedicated escutcheon variants that match their specific indicator or privacy trim requirements.

This escutcheon is the field replacement when the outside Napa escutcheon on an existing MA Series installation is damaged, scratched, or needs a finish change, and it's the component a locksmith or facility manager orders when sourcing trim separately from the lock chassis.

Falcon Napa Escutcheon: What It Is and Why It Matters

In the Falcon MA Series trim catalog, two escutcheon styles are available: Gala (G) and Napa (N). The escutcheon is the large, flat trim plate that mounts on the door face around the lever and cylinder, covering the full face of the door between the lever hole and the cylinder hole. It serves a different and more security-conscious purpose than a standard rose.

A rose trim mounts around the lever spindle only, leaving the door face around the cylinder exposed. An escutcheon covers both the lever and cylinder positions in a single plate, eliminating any pry access between the two components and protecting the edge of the door mortise pocket from tampering. In commercial applications where the outside face of the door is the primary security boundary- office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, government buildings- the escutcheon format is routinely specified over rose trim for exactly this reason.

The Napa design in the MA Series is a clean, architectural-profile escutcheon with a modern rectangular plate and consistent proportions across all lever styles it pairs with. Compatible lever pairings in Napa format include the Avalon-Napa (AN), Dane-Napa (DN), Latitude-Napa (LTN), Broadway-Napa (BRN), Quantum-Napa (QN), Sutro-Napa (SN), Longitude-Napa (LGN), and Boardwalk-Napa (BON) combinations. The Napa escutcheon pairs with any of these levers in the MA Series trim ordering system.

Falcon MA Series Catalog: Functions Compatible with the AE87012-OC

The AE87012-OC Napa escutcheon works with the full range of Falcon MA Series keyed and non-keyed functions that use standard outside lever and cylinder trim, which covers the majority of the MA catalog. Compatible functions include the MA101 passage, MA161 exit/connecting, MA451 hotel, MA521 entry/office with button lockout, MA531 apartment corridor, MA541 entry/office, MA551 holdback, MA561 classroom, MA571 dormitory exit, MA581 storeroom, MA621 front door, MA641 dormitory, MA371 store door, MA381 apartment/exit, MA411 asylum, MA431 classroom security with deadbolt, and MA441 classroom security.

The three excluded privacy functions (MA301/311/321) use their own Napa escutcheon variant because privacy trim has no outside cylinder opening- it uses a coin slot or emergency release instead. The MA921/931/941 functions use an indicator escutcheon with an occupied/vacant lens window built into the plate, which also has its own dedicated part number.

Falcon MA Series Parts: Escutcheon and Trim Standards

The MA Series meets ANSI/BHMA A156.13, Series 1000, Operational and Security Grade 1. All trim is cast, forged, or wrought and through-bolted using thread-patch coated screws. The lever trim uses independent heavy-duty springs for lever return and allows independent rotation in both directions. The lock case is interchangeable for knob or lever applications without modifying the chassis.

The MA Series is UL listed for 3-hour fire door assemblies under both neutral pressure (UL10B) and positive pressure (UL10C) conditions. Specify finish and handing when ordering. Falcon recommends chrome-plated or stainless steel finishes for high-corrosion environments.
