Sargent 28-65G15-3 KB 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the exit/communicating function on the Sargent 65G15-3 actually do?
The 65G15-3 is a non-keyed exit/communicating lock. There is no cylinder and no key on it at all, so it is used where a door needs a lever on both sides for egress or to connect two spaces, not where you need to lock people out. If you need a lock that keys, you want a keyed function in the 6500 line instead.
2) Will a Sargent 6500 Series cylindrical lock fit a 1-3/8 inch door?
Yes. The 6500 Series bored lock covers doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick, so it handles both older interior doors and standard 1-3/4 inch commercial doors without a thickness kit.
3) Do I have to specify a backset when I order the Sargent 65G15-3?
Yes, backset is a required choice: 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. Measure from the door edge to the center of the existing bore before ordering. Those are the two standard commercial backsets, so an existing prep will almost always match one of them.
4) Will the Sargent 6500 drop into my existing 161 door prep?
It fits a modified 161 prep, which is the standard cylindrical bore for commercial bored locksets. Pair that with the right backset (2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch) and it goes into most existing cylindrical openings without new boring.
5) Is the Sargent 6500 Series lock fire rated and ADA compliant?
It is UL-cUL fire rated up to 3 hours and ADA compliant, and it carries ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 along with multiple ASTM certifications. It also passes hurricane code and Florida Building Code testing, which matters on coastal institutional work.
6) Can I key this Sargent lock into our building master system?
Not this one. The 65G15-3 is a non-keyed function with no cylinder, so there is nothing to key. Other functions in the 6500 line are compatible with most Sargent key systems including Degree, Signature and XC, so if the opening has to be on your masterkey system, order a keyed 6500 function instead.
7) What is the closest Grade 2 non-keyed cylindrical lever to the Sargent 65G15-3 if I need a different brand?
The Sargent 65G15-3 is a Grade 2 non-keyed cylindrical leverset with an exit/communicating function. The closest same-grade, same-format alternatives are the Falcon B101, a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta, a Grade 2 cylindrical lever in passage/closet function. Both are non-keyed levers like the Sargent, but they are passage function - the lever always retracts the latch from both sides - while the 65G15-3 is an exit/communicating function. Confirm the function code against the door schedule before substituting.
8) I need a heavier duty lever than the Sargent 65G15-3 for a high traffic corridor - what steps up?
The Sargent 65G15-3 is a standard duty Grade 2 cylindrical lever. For a higher-cycle opening, Grade 1 non-keyed cylindrical levers include the Falcon K101, a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with non-handed levers and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, the Falcon T101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. All three are passage function rather than exit/communicating, so verify the function requirement first.
9) My door is 2 inches thick - will the Sargent 65G15-3 work, or do I need something else?
The Sargent 65G15-3 covers door thicknesses from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For a 2 inch door, Grade 2 cylindrical levers rated to 2 inches include the Hager 2510 passage lever with the Withnell design and the Arrow GL01 Sierra lever passage lock, which covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. In Grade 1, the Falcon K101 passage lever runs 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch.
10) What should I order instead of the Sargent 65G15-3 if the opening needs to be keyed?
The Sargent 65G15-3 is a non-keyed exit/communicating lever, so it takes no cylinder. For keyed Grade 2 cylindrical levers, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a storeroom function lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal AG03 is a classroom lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway and 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lock with the Withnell lever. The Falcon B511CP6D covers entry/office function in Grade 2.
11) Does this Sargent lever lock need to be handed?
No. The 6500 Series lock is non-handed, so one part number works on left or right hand doors. For a property manager stocking spares across a building, that means a single SKU covers every opening instead of two.
12) What lever styles and finishes does the Sargent 65G15-3 come in?
Three lever designs, B, L and P, each in seven finishes: 03 bright brass, 04 satin brass, 10B dark oxidized satin bronze oil rubbed, 10BE dark oxidized satin bronze, 26 bright chrome, 26D satin chrome, and BSP black suede powder coat. 26D is the usual commercial default if you are matching existing building hardware.
13) Is Grade 2 enough for a school or hospital corridor, or should I step up?
The 6500 is standard duty, Grade 2. That is fine for offices, retail, multi-tenant residential and moderate-traffic institutional doors. For high-abuse corridors, a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lever is the better call: the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors and is fire rated, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lock for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors.
14) Is a dummy lever an acceptable substitute for the Sargent 65G15-3?
No. The Sargent 65G15-3 is a functioning cylindrical lock with a latchbolt in exit/communicating function. Dummy trim such as the BEST 7KC single dummy trim lever, the BEST 9K Series 1DT Grade 1 dummy, the Accentra 455LN Augusta Grade 1 single dummy, and the Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever are fixed pulls with no latch mechanism, used on inactive leaves or closet doors. They will not latch a door.
15) Can I use a residential Grade 3 lever in place of the Sargent 65G15-3 on an apartment interior door?
The Sargent 65G15-3 is a commercial Grade 2 cylindrical lever. Grade 3 levers such as the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Callan Asheville passage leverset, and the Cal-Royal AUS00 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body sit a grade below on the ANSI/BHMA scale. For openings where the specification calls for Grade 2 commercial hardware, the Sargent stays in spec and the Grade 3 sets do not.
16) What is the alternative to the Sargent 65G15-3 for a bathroom or bedroom door that needs privacy?
The Sargent 65G15-3 is an exit/communicating function with no privacy locking. For privacy, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob and a fire rating, and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
17) I need keypad access instead of a mechanical lever like the Sargent 65G15-3 - what are the options?
The Sargent 65G15-3 is a mechanical cylindrical lever with no access control. Code-entry alternatives include the Delaney LP250 electronic keypad leverlock in Grade 2, the Lockey 1150 heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Emtek Classic keypad leverset. The Lockey is mechanical and needs no power, while the Delaney and Emtek units are electronic.
18) Is there an electrified version of a cylindrical lever if the Sargent 65G15-3 needs to tie into access control?
The Sargent 65G15-3 is a non-keyed mechanical exit/communicating lever with no electrical provision. For an access-controlled opening, the Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 electrified cylindrical lever in fail safe mode at 12VAC/DC for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, available with the NZ lever and D rose. It is a Grade 1 lock on a thicker door range than the Sargent, so verify door thickness and power supply before specifying.
19) What differentiates the Sargent 65G15-3 from a knob lockset of the same grade?
The Sargent 65G15-3 uses a lever handle, which supports ADA operation. Grade 2 knob locksets such as the Arrow HK11-BB turn-pushbutton entrance lock with a ball knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS heavy duty asylum lock with a ball knob and Schlage C keyway require grasping and twisting. Where accessible hardware is required, the lever is the specified form.
20) Can I mix the Sargent 65G15-3 with decorative brass leversets on the same project?
The Sargent 65G15-3 is a commercial Grade 2 cylindrical lever offered in eight finishes including 03 bright brass, 04 satin brass, 10B oil rubbed bronze, 26D satin chrome and BSP black suede powder coat. Decorative sets such as the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage and privacy levers on the 5048 rose, the Deltana 6201 Manchester entry lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Emtek Arts and Crafts dummy levers are styled for front-of-house and residential openings. Using the Sargent on back-of-house doors and a decorative line on public-facing doors is a common split, with finish matched by number.
