Sargent SGT-6342 LA 3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Sargent 63-40 mortise cylinder work in my Sargent exit device, or is it only for mortise locks?
The 63-40 large format interchangeable core mortise cylinder works across many Sargent products, not just mortise locks. Sargent lists it as compatible with exit devices, mortise locks, bored locks, and padlocks, which is what lets a facility run one core system and one key across every opening. The cylinder body is solid brass at 1-5/32 inch diameter, the standard mortise cylinder size Sargent uses throughout the line.
2) What do the 42, 43, 44 and 46 size numbers mean on a Sargent 63-40 cylinder, and which one do I order?
Those are the cylinder length options offered on the 63-40: 42, 43, 44 and 46. Cylinder length has to match the door thickness and the lock case it threads into, so pull the existing cylinder and measure it, or check the lock's cylinder length schedule, before you pick. On a mortise cylinder, running short means the cam will not reach the lock hub and running long leaves the cylinder standing proud of the trim ring.
3) Do I have to order a cam with a Sargent 63-40 mortise cylinder?
Yes, the cam is a required selection. The 63-40 ships with a Standard cam unless you specify one of the alternates: 101, 105, 106, 112, 113 or 115. The cam is what actually drives the lock, so it has to suit the device the cylinder is going into. If you are replacing an existing Sargent cylinder, take the cam off the old one and match it.
4) Can I rekey a Sargent 63-40 cylinder without taking the lock off the door?
That is the whole point of the LFIC design. A dedicated control key releases the locking cam and the core lifts straight out, so you swap cores at the door with the lock still mounted. Turnover on a tenant, a lost key, a contractor leaving the job, all get handled in seconds instead of pulling and re-pinning hardware. You do need the control key in hand, and it is a separate key from the operating key.
5) Which Sargent keyway do I order on a 63-40 to match the keys my building already uses?
Order the keyway that matches your existing Sargent system. The 63-40 comes in LA (the standard), LB, LC, LE, LF, LG, LJ, LK and LL. Sargent covers keyway families A, B, C, G, H, K, L, N, R and V plus CR and S single key sections across the line. If your building is already on a Sargent master key system, your locksmith or the AHC on the original job will have the keyway and system code, and ordering the wrong section gives you a cylinder your keys will not enter.
6) Should I order the Sargent 63-40 keyed alike or keyed different for a multi-tenant building?
Keying is a required choice: Standard Keying, KD keyed different, or KA keyed alike. Keyed different is what you want for tenant doors, where every unit needs its own key. Keyed alike suits a bank of doors one person carries a single key for, like a set of mechanical rooms or a run of storage. The 63-40 is 6-pin standard and supports master and grand-master keying, so tenant cylinders can still be keyed different at the unit and pass a building master.
7) Can I pin a Sargent 63-40 cylinder myself in the field?
Yes. Sargent offers the 63-40 1-bitted for field keying, supplied with 2 key blanks plus pins and springs already in chambers 3 and 4. That lets a locksmith cut the cylinder to an existing system on site rather than waiting on a factory-keyed order. If you do not have a pinning kit and the system chart, order it keyed to your system instead.
8) What is the difference between a Sargent LFIC cylinder and a conventional Sargent cylinder?
An LFIC cylinder carries a removable core that comes out with a control key, so rekeying happens at the door. A conventional cylinder has to be pulled from the lock and re-pinned on the bench. The 63-40 is the large format interchangeable core version. Sargent also supports conventional cylinder integration on the same systems where the quick-change feature is not needed, so a building can mix the two on one master key system, using LFIC on the doors that turn over and conventional where they never change.
9) What finishes does the Sargent 63-40 mortise cylinder come in to match my existing door hardware?
Twelve finishes: 03 bright brass and 04 satin brass clear coated, 09 bright bronze, 10 satin bronze, 10B dark oxidized satin bronze oil rubbed, 10BE dark oxidized satin bronze, 10BL dark oxidized satin bronze clear coated, 15 satin nickel, 20D dark statuary bronze lacquered, 32 bright stainless, 32D satin stainless, and BSP black suede powder coat. Cap material runs brass, bronze and stainless. For a building already standardized on 626 satin chrome trim, 26D style, the closest matches here are 32D satin stainless or 15 satin nickel.
10) Is the Sargent 63-40 cylinder rated for commercial traffic, or is it a residential part?
Commercial. The 63-40 is a solid brass commercial mortise cylinder used in offices, schools, hospitals, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential and government buildings. It is a replacement cylinder, meaning it goes into hardware you already have rather than being a complete lock, so you are buying the key control piece and not the lockset.
