Sargent 185C 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sargent 185C emergency release fit a Sargent 8200 or other mortise lock series?
No. The 185C outside emergency release is built for the Sargent 7800 Series mortise lock only. It is a direct-fit component for that series, so it should not be ordered as a release for other Sargent mortise families.
2) What does the Sargent 185C outside emergency release actually do on the door?
It is the exterior cylinder turn on a 7800 Series mortise lock. Turning it releases the lock from the outside, which is how authorized staff or emergency responders get into a room that is secured from the inside. The turn actuates the emergency release mechanism inside the mortise case.
3) What finish does the Sargent 185C come in, and will it match my other 26D hardware?
One finish is offered: 26D, satin chromium plated over nickel, the standard satin chrome used across most commercial openings. If the levers and trim on your 7800 openings are 26D, the 185C matches them.
4) Do I need to replace the whole mortise lock if the outside emergency release is broken?
No. The 185C is sold as a replacement part for the 7800 Series, so a worn or damaged outside emergency release can be swapped on its own and the rest of the mortise lock stays in the door.
5) Is the Sargent 185C a genuine Sargent part or an aftermarket copy?
Genuine Sargent. It is sold as an authentic Sargent lock part, so it fits and finishes correctly on a 7800 Series lock without modifying the existing hardware.
6) Is the 185C release rated for commercial traffic, or is it a residential part?
Commercial. The 185C is a commercial-grade replacement component and is used on office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, government buildings and multi-tenant properties running 7800 Series mortise hardware.
