CARMEL, IND. – Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies today announced that its new D Series deadbolt locks, from Falcon, will secure virtually any commercial door.  Fitted with interchangeable cores or conventional cylinders, the locks can be adapted to most manufacturers’ key systems.  With an improved strike and deep-drawn dust box assembly, jamb strength is dramatically improved.  An integrated anti-pry shield behind the cylinder assembly provides added security and holds the lock in place, freeing the installer’s hands during installation.  With an adjustable backset, one product can be used for 2-3/8” or 2-3/4” backset.  An integrated trim design yields fewer components out of the box, again improving installation time.

“Our D Series deadbolt lock is not only the toughest but the most flexible deadbolt ever in the Falcon line”, attests Marli Williams, product manager for Falcon Lock.  “Not only is it extremely secure and very easy to install but it is designed and backed by Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies, which is noted for its high quality and reliability in locking solutions and access control.”

The new D Series highlights a series of security features.  A heavy-duty bolt with a free-turning hardened steel pin in the center creates a saw-resistant feature, adding protection.  Use of the strike box ensures added space for the deadbolt to throw and creates true deadlocking.  A third screw in the strike box provides deep anchoring while the tapered and free turning cylinder ring resists wrenching.

For easier installation, the Falcon D Series accepts small format interchangeable cores (SFIC) and conventional cylinders.  The lockset also incorporates an ADA compliant thumbturn.

The D Series from Falcon is available in Grade 1 or Grade 2 configurations in up to eleven different functions and five finishes.  The product is available now.
