Sargent 10XU68 LB 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a hospital privacy lock and when do I use one instead of a standard privacy lock?
Hospital privacy is the function you put on a patient room or a restroom where staff must be able to get in. The Sargent 10XU68 is a non-keyed cylindrical lever lock with hospital privacy function: the occupant locks the door from inside, and staff release it from the outside without a key. A standard privacy lever like the Hager 2540 or Kwikset 300BRNL Breton locks the same way but is built for bedroom and bath use, not the abuse and traffic of a healthcare corridor. If nobody ever needs to be let back in, a plain privacy set is enough. If a patient can lock themselves in, use hospital privacy.
2) Will the Sargent 10XU68 fit a 1-3/8 inch door?
Yes. The 10XU68 covers doors from 1-3/8 inch through 2 inch, so it handles both older 1-3/8 inch interior leaves and standard 1-3/4 inch commercial doors off the same part number. That range is wider than most Grade 2 lever locks, which is useful in an older facility where door thicknesses vary floor to floor.
3) Is this lock tough enough for a behavioral health or high-abuse patient room?
That is what the 10X Line is built for. It resists over 3,100 in-lb of locked lever torque, which is 2.6 times the ANSI/BHMA requirement, and 1,600 lbs of offset lever pull. It stays locked after more than 100 vertical impacts, 20 times the ANSI/BHMA requirement, and the push/turn button is shaped so a door stop or wall does not break it. It is tested to 20 million cycles under UL's Cycle Above and Beyond test, verification ID V584148.
4) Is the Sargent 10XU68 fire rated and ADA compliant?
Fire rated, UL-cUL listed up to 3 hours, and ADA compliant. It is also Florida Building Code approved and windstorm certified, which matters if you are specifying for a hospital or care facility in a coastal jurisdiction. The lever handle itself is the ADA-relevant part, since it operates without grasping or twisting.
5) Do I have to specify handing on the Sargent 10X hospital privacy lever?
No handing to specify. The 10XU68 is non-handed, so one part works on a left or right hand door and you are not stuck with the wrong lock if the door swing on the drawing was wrong. That also means one stocked lock covers every patient room door in a building regardless of swing.
6) Does the Sargent 10XU68 take a key or a cylinder?
No cylinder and no key. Hospital privacy on the 10XU68 is a non-keyed function, so it is not part of your master key system and there is nothing to key or pin. If you need the same 10X Line trim on doors that DO need to be keyed, the lockbody design across the line accepts every cylinder format Sargent offers, from fixed to interchangeable core, and works with all Sargent key systems, so the keyed openings and these privacy openings still look identical down the corridor.
7) What lever and rose styles does the Sargent 10X hospital privacy lock come in?
Three levers, B, L, and P, and two rose shapes, G and L. Pick the lever and rose that match whatever 10X Line trim is already on the other doors so a replacement disappears into the run. All fourteen finishes are available, from 26D satin chrome and 15 satin nickel to 10B oil rubbed bronze, plus BSP black and WSP white suede powder coat if the doors are painted trim rather than plated.
8) Can I get an antimicrobial coating on this lever for infection control?
Yes, Microshield antimicrobial coating is an option on the 10X Line hospital privacy lock. It is applied to the high-touch surfaces to limit microbial growth on the lever and rose. Specify it when you order; it is not something added in the field.
9) Is there a Grade 1 alternative to the Sargent 10X if I do not need the hospital privacy function?
Depends what the door needs to do. For a Grade 1 non-keyed corridor or closet door, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a vandal resistant passage lever, fire rated, for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock covering 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch. For a locked institutional door where nobody unlocks from outside, the Dexter C1000 asylum function (F87) is Grade 1 and covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch. None of those give you outside emergency release, so they are not substitutes on a patient room door.
10) I only need a privacy lever for an office restroom, is the Sargent 10X overkill?
Probably, yes. The 10XU68 is a Grade 1 heavy duty commercial lock built for hospital traffic and abuse. For a light-traffic restroom or bedroom door, a Grade 2 privacy set like the Hager 2540 with the Withnell lever, or the Arrow MK02-TA Grade 1 privacy knob, covers the same basic function at a much lower duty level. Step up to the 10X when the door sees institutional traffic or the occupant can lock themselves in and staff need a way back in.
11) What is EcoFlex on the Sargent 10X line and does it apply to a non-keyed privacy lock?
EcoFlex is Sargent's low-draw electromechanical technology on the 10X Line, giving up to 92 percent energy savings on the electrified functions and supporting Wave to Open, Request to Exit, and Door Position Switches. Those are options on the electrified 10X locks. The hospital privacy function itself is mechanical and non-keyed, so if you need door position monitoring or REX signalling on a patient room you are specifying an electrified 10X lock, not this one.
12) Where do I find the door prep template and parts breakdown for the Sargent 10X lockset?
Sargent publishes the 10X Line Cylindrical Lockset Installation Instructions, which carry the door prep and template detail, and a separate 10X Line Parts Manual for component-level breakdown when you are ordering replacement parts rather than a whole lock. There is also a dedicated instruction sheet for the electrified bored locks. Get the prep confirmed against the template before you bore, since the backset is fixed at order time.
