Sargent 486 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sargent 486 deadbolt fit a 2 inch thick door?
Yes. The 486 deadbolt covers 1-3/4 inch through 2 inch door thickness, so it handles both standard commercial doors and the thicker leaves you find on older institutional openings. If your door is 1-3/8 inch, this is the wrong bolt; a Dexter DB1000 Grade 1 deadbolt runs 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch instead.
2) What does Cylinder x Blank function mean on a Sargent 486 deadbolt?
Key outside, nothing inside. The 486 in Cylinder x Blank has a keyed cylinder on the exterior and a plain blank plate on the interior side, no thumbturn and no second cylinder. Nobody can throw or retract the bolt from inside the room. That is what you want on a storage room, an electrical closet, or a tenant space where access has to be controlled from one side only. If someone will ever be inside that room and need to get out, do not use this function, use a cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt.
3) Which backset do I order for a Sargent 486 deadbolt?
Backset is an ordering choice on the 486, either 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. Measure from the door edge to the center of the existing bolt hole and match it. Those are the two standard backsets in commercial and residential door prep, so an existing bore will almost always land on one of them.
4) Will the Sargent 486 deadbolt latch into my existing strike?
Depends which strike is in your frame. The 486 throws a 1 inch hardened steel bolt and ships with your choice of the 404 standard strike at 2-3/4 inches or the 408 ANSI 4-7/8 inch flat lip strike. If your frame is already ANSI prepped, which most hollow metal commercial frames are, order the 408. If you are replacing into a wood jamb with a small T strike cutout, the 404 is the one that drops in without routing.
5) Can I get the Sargent 486 deadbolt with an interchangeable core instead of a standard cylinder?
Three cylinder choices on the 486. The 6 pin standard brass cylinder is the default. Option 60 gives you Sargent large format interchangeable core (FSIC) with a plastic disposable construction core, and option 70 gives you small format interchangeable core (SFIC) with the same disposable construction core. Pick one of the IC options on new construction so the trades run on a throwaway core and you rekey the whole job by swapping cores at turnover instead of pulling locks.
6) Is the Sargent 486 a Grade 1 deadbolt, and what does that get me over a Grade 2?
Grade 1, the top ANSI/BHMA classification for strength and durability, with a steel reinforced case and a hardened anti-saw bolt. Grade 1 is the tier written into most institutional and government specs, so on a school, hospital, or municipal job this clears the spec where a Grade 2 will not. For a low traffic interior door where the spec does not call out a grade, an Arrow DBX61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt and a Cal-Royal CB160 is another Grade 2 option.
7) I need a deadbolt someone can unlock from inside the room. Is the Sargent 486 the right one?
No. The 486 in Cylinder x Blank has a blank inside plate, so there is no way to retract the bolt from inside. For an occupied room you want a cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt instead. Grade 1 options in that function include the Falcon D111 and the Accentra D111, both Grade 1 cylinder x thumbturn, and the Delaney LM Series Grade 1 less core version if you are keying to an interchangeable core system. If the room needs a way out but no key outside, the Arrow E60 is a non-keyed blank plate x thumbturn deadlock.
8) What is the closest Grade 1 alternative to the Sargent 486 deadbolt when the same key-outside, blank-inside function is required?
The Corbin Russwin DL3011 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock with a cylinder x blank function, matching the Sargent 486 arrangement of key operation from one side and a blank plate on the other. The DL3011 is listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, while the Sargent 486 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Corbin Russwin also builds the same cylinder x blank function into the DL3211 and the DL2211, both Grade 1 cylindrical deadlocks fitted to 1-3/4 inch doors.
9) The opening needs a thumbturn on the inside for egress, not a blank plate. What deadbolt should be used instead of the Sargent 486?
The Sargent 486 is a cylinder x blank plate function, key outside with no inside operation. Where the inside must release without a key, the Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with adjustable backset, and the Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway and 6-pin cylinder for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Delaney LM Series is a Grade 1 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt supplied less core. Inside egress is usually a code question for the occupancy, so confirm the function against the door schedule before ordering blank-inside trim.
10) What deadbolt works when the door is thinner than 1-3/4 inch and the Sargent 486 will not fit?
The Sargent 486 is built for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. For thinner leaves, the Dexter DB1000 single cylinder deadbolt is Grade 1 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the Hager 3115 covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Deltana 7312KA2 spans 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch as a Grade 3 double cylinder unit. Measure the leaf at the bolt centerline, since a deadbolt sized for a thicker door will leave the cylinder standing proud of the face.
11) Which products look like a substitute for the Sargent 486 deadbolt but are not?
Several parts carry deadbolt in the name without being a keyed deadbolt lock for a swinging commercial door. The Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike with a straight lip, hardware that receives a bolt rather than throws one. The BEST 8T is a tube component from the T Series tubular deadbolt, not a complete lock. The Baldwin Reserve 8BR0618001 is a deadbolt spacer. The Arrow E60 is a non-keyed exit deadlock with a blank plate x thumbturn arrangement, the reverse of the Sargent 486 key-outside function. The Dormakaba Saffire LX-D and Nova-D are RFID electronic deadbolts and need power and credential management the 486 does not.
12) The Sargent 486 is being ordered with an interchangeable core. What other deadbolts accept an IC core?
The Sargent 486 can be ordered with a Sargent large format (FSIC) or small format (SFIC) disposable construction core in place of the 6 pin standard cylinder. Among other brands, the Arrow E61 26D IC is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock prepped for SFIC and supplied less core, the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single deadbolt with an interchangeable core prep and a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Delaney LM Series is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt shipped less core. Cores are keyway-specific, so match the core system already in the building rather than the lock brand.
13) Which alternative to the Sargent 486 deadbolt carries a fire rating for a labeled opening?
On labeled openings, the Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 deadbolt with a fire rating, a Schlage C keyway and a 6-pin cylinder for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Hager also carries the fire rated 3115 and 3215 in Grade 2 and the 3214 as a double cylinder. The Cal-Royal CRB800 is a heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch. All of these are cylinder x thumbturn rather than the blank inside trim of the Sargent 486.
14) Do I have to specify handing on a Sargent 486 deadbolt?
No handing to specify. The 486 is non-handed and reversible, so the same part goes on a left swing or a right swing opening with no field modification. That matters if you are buying a batch for a building and do not want to survey every door first.
15) Is there a lighter-duty deadbolt to use in place of the Sargent 486 on interior or lower-traffic commercial doors?
The Sargent 486 is certified to ANSI/BHMA Grade 1. Where a Grade 2 deadbolt is acceptable, the Arrow DBX61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt in the DBX Series, and the Falcon D211 is a Grade 2 classroom function deadbolt with single cylinder operation rated medium duty. The Hager 3215 is a Grade 2 commercial deadbolt with a 1 inch throw for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same throw the 486 carries. All three are cylinder x thumbturn rather than the 486 blank-inside arrangement.
16) What Grade 1 deadbolt should be specified when the door must be keyed from both sides instead of blank inside?
The Sargent 486 is a single cylinder deadbolt, keyed one side only. For key control from both faces, the Design Hardware D1 Series is a Grade 1 double cylinder deadbolt rated extra heavy duty for 1-3/4 inch doors, the same nominal leaf the 486 starts at, and the Dexter DB1000-DCT is a Grade 1 double cylinder deadbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors. Double cylinder deadbolts are restricted in many egress paths, so verify the occupancy before specifying one.
17) What deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset compares to the Sargent 486?
The Sargent 486 is offered in 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets. If the existing bore is on 2-3/4 inch centers, the Deltana CL200LM is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt and the Deltana CL200LA is a Grade 2 single deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset. Where the backset is uncertain, the Falcon D111 Grade 1 deadbolt has an adjustable backset and the Cal-Royal ED500 offers the same adjustability in Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
18) How does the Sargent 486 differ from a residential-style deadbolt on a multi-family entry door?
The Sargent 486 is a commercial Grade 1 heavy duty deadbolt with a hardened steel bolt and steel-reinforced case. Residential and light commercial deadbolts sit at a different grade and function: the Bravura 310B Elite and the Callan 200S-G2 are Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolts, the Callan 200S is Grade 3, and the Brinks Raleigh is a single cylinder deadbolt with a 4 way adjustable backset. The Callan 205S is a Grade 3 one-sided half-bore deadbolt, which mounts where the door is not bored through. Those all give an inside thumbturn, where the 486 leaves the inside face blank.
19) Is there an electronic or keypad deadbolt to use where the Sargent 486 would need keys issued to every user?
The Sargent 486 is a keyed mechanical deadbolt operated by key from outside. Where credentials rather than keys are wanted, the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D is an RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and an electronic lock override, the Dormakaba Nova-D is an RFID multihousing smart deadbolt, and the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote. The Codelocks CL2200 is a medium duty electronic surface deadbolt and the CL2210 is an electronic mortise deadbolt. These change the door prep and add battery service the mechanical 486 does not require.
20) Can a mortise deadbolt be used in place of the Sargent 486, and what changes at the door?
The Sargent 486 is a bored deadbolt installed to a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset with a 404 standard strike or a 408 ANSI 4-7/8 inch flat lip strike. A mortise deadbolt needs a pocket cut in the door edge instead: the Dormakaba D900 is a small case mortise deadbolt with a D cylinder, keyed different with SC keyways, and the DynaLock 1300 Series is a heavy duty mortise electric deadbolt. Emtek 2050 and 2051 are European mortise deadbolts with an integrated roller latch. Switching to mortise is a door prep decision, not a drop-in swap.
21) What finishes does the Sargent 486 deadbolt come in to match the rest of my door hardware?
Twelve finishes on the 486: 03 bright brass, 04 satin brass, 09 bright bronze, 10 satin bronze, 10B dark oxidized satin bronze oil rubbed, 10BE dark oxidized satin bronze, 14 bright nickel, 15 satin nickel, 26 bright chrome, 26D satin chrome, plus BSP black suede and WSP white suede powder coat. On commercial work 26D is the one that matches most existing lever and closer hardware, and the two powder coats are there when the door itself is painted black or white.
22) Is the Sargent 486 deadbolt heavy duty enough for a high traffic commercial entry?
It is built for it. Heavy duty commercial rating, Grade 1, steel reinforced case, 6 pin brass cylinder and a hardened 1 inch throw bolt with anti-saw design. Sargent lists it for office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouse, multi-tenant residential and government work. This is not a residential grade bolt reworked for commercial use.
