RU Series

Extra heavy-duty preassembled unit locks

Overview

When you need to replace an existing notched-style lock and get up to code on ADA accessibility, the Falcon RU Series is a perfect fit. Designed specifically for retrofitting older and historical buildings, this unique lock combines old-fashioned styling with modern strength, security and convenience. Falcon RU Series locks have an interchangeable core that can be removed for quick, easy re-keying. Our interchangeable cores are compatible with SFIC products from other manufacturers, and they're backed by one of the best names in the business.

The RU Series from Falcon is designed to retrofit existing unit locks manufactured by Falcon, Corbin Russwin and Yale. It exceeds ANSI Grade 1 specifications and is UL/ULC listed. The RU Series incorporates Falcon's vandal resistant PressureRelease™ trim to prevent damage to internal mechanism, and it installs with minimal rework to existing doors while preserving the door and frame for cost effective project planning. Falcon's RU Series satisfies all ADA easy access requirements.
