Sargent 13-0938 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Sargent 13-0938 cam do, and why would I need one?
The 13-0938 is the cam that bolts to the back of a Sargent mortise cylinder and transfers key rotation into the lock case. Without the right cam, the cylinder turns but the lock does nothing. This particular cam is cut for Schlage L Series mortise locks, so it is what you order when you are putting a Sargent cylinder into a Schlage L case.
2) Can I use a Sargent mortise cylinder in a Schlage L Series lock?
Yes, provided you swap the cam. A Sargent mortise cylinder ships with a Sargent-profile cam, which will not drive a Schlage L case correctly. The 13-0938 is the Schlage L cam for that cylinder. Mortise cylinders themselves are a standard 1-5/32 inch, 32 threads per inch screw shell across brands, so the body threads into the Schlage prep and the cam is the only piece that changes.
3) I am standardizing a building on Sargent keying but the doors have Schlage L locks. Do I have to replace the locks?
No. Keep the Schlage L cases in the doors and change only the cylinders. Fit each Sargent mortise cylinder with a 13-0938 cam and the existing locks run on your Sargent keyway and master key system. That is the usual path for a property manager or facility that wants one key system without pulling hardware off every opening.
4) Does the Sargent 13-0938 come with a cylinder?
No. The 13-0938 is the cam alone, a replacement part. You order the mortise cylinder separately in the keyway, length, and finish you need, then fit this cam to it. Cam screws are the small fasteners that come with the cylinder, so check the cylinder packaging before you strip a door.
5) Will the 13-0938 cam work on a Schlage mortise deadbolt or a bored lever lock?
No. This cam is cut for the Schlage L Series mortise lock case. Mortise deadbolts and bored (cylindrical) locks use different cams or a tailpiece entirely, so the 13-0938 will not drive them. Match the cam to the lock case it is going into, not to the door.
6) Is the Sargent 13-0938 cam suitable for high-traffic commercial doors?
It is a commercial-duty part, built for the cycle counts you see on office, school, healthcare, retail, and government openings. The cam is the piece that takes the torque every time a key turns, so it is worth replacing rather than reusing a worn one when you rekey an opening that gets heavy use.
7) Do I need a locksmith to install the 13-0938 cam, or can maintenance staff do it?
It is a straightforward swap for anyone comfortable with mortise cylinders: back out the cam screws, change the cam, reinstall. The part that trips people up is cam clocking and cylinder depth, since a cylinder set too deep or too shallow in the Schlage L case will bind or fail to retract the latch. If your maintenance tech has not set a mortise cylinder before, have the locksmith do the first one and copy it.
