The Falcon 030728-000 is the OEM Push Button Cap for Falcon T Series cylindrical locks, documented in the official Falcon T Series Parts Manual. The push button cap is confirmed in the Chassis Assembly position for privacy, entry, and dormitory functions, covering both standard and IC variants of these functions.

What the Push Button Cap Does

The push button cap is the Chassis Assembly component that forms the tactile surface of the inside push button on Falcon T Series functions that incorporate a button-controlled locking mechanism. On privacy and dormitory functions, the inside lever incorporates a push button that the user presses to engage the locking state at the outside lever. On the T501 entry function, the push button controls access from the inside position. The push button cap sits on top of the button mechanism and provides the surface the user's thumb contacts during operation. When the push button cap cracks, breaks away, or deforms, the button mechanism may become difficult to activate, may not fully engage the lock state, or may leave the underlying mechanism exposed. Replacing the 030728-000 restores the correct tactile surface and allows the button mechanism to function as intended.
