Sargent 28-65U15 KB 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to specify a hand when ordering the Sargent 65U15 lever lock?
No handing to determine. The 65U15 is non-handed, so one part covers left and right swings. For a property manager or a contractor buying for several openings that means a single line item instead of splitting the order by door swing, and no wrong-hand returns from the field.
2) Does the Sargent 65U15 lock or key at all, or is it just a lever pull?
It's a passage function, so it never locks. The lever retracts the latch from both sides at all times, with no cylinder and no key. That makes it right for corridor doors, hall and closet doors, and any opening that needs latching for door control but not security. If you need it to lock, a passage lock is the wrong function, look at a storeroom, entry/office, or classroom lever instead.
3) What is the ANSI F75 designation on a Sargent 6500 passage lock?
F75 is the ANSI/BHMA function code for a passage or closet latch: both levers always free, no locking, no keying. If your hardware schedule or door schedule calls out F75 on a bored lock line, the 65U15 is the Sargent 6500 Series answer to it. Architects and spec writers list the function code rather than the model, so this is the number to match.
4) Will a Sargent 65U15 drop into an existing 161 door prep?
It fits a modified 161 preparation, which is the standard bored prep on commercial doors, so on most retrofits you're reusing the existing 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore rather than re-drilling the door. Confirm the existing backset first, then order the matching 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset.
5) Can I use the Sargent 65U15 on a fire rated door?
Yes. The 6500 passage lock is UL-cUL listed for fire rated openings up to 3 hours and complies with NFPA 80, so it can go on a rated corridor or stair door where a latching passage set is called for. It also meets ADA and ICC A117.1 for accessible openings, which the lever trim is what satisfies.
6) Is a Grade 2 lock like the Sargent 65U15 enough for a commercial building, or should I go Grade 1?
Grade 2 standard duty is built for normal commercial traffic, offices, hall and closet doors, tenant corridors, and it's tested to ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 2. Where the door takes abuse all day, a school corridor, a hospital wing, a stairwell, step up to Grade 1: the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever. For a light commercial or residential-grade opening you'd be paying for more lock than the door needs.
7) Is there a passage lever that meets Florida hurricane code?
The Sargent 6500 Series passage lock is tested to ASTM E330, ASTM E1886, and ASTM E1996, and complies with hurricane codes and the Florida Building Code. That is the sticking point on coastal work: most Grade 2 passage levers carry no impact testing at all, so on a Florida job this is the one that clears the inspector on a hall or corridor opening.
8) My door is 2 inches thick. Will the Sargent 6500 passage lever work?
No. The 6500 passage lock tops out at 1-3/4 inches, so a 2 inch door is outside its range. For a thicker door, the Falcon K101 passage lever covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches, the Hager 2510 covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Arrow GL01 passage lever is built for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors.
9) Which passage lever works on a 2 inch thick door instead of the Sargent 65U15?
The Sargent 65U15 covers doors from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For a thicker leaf, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever with the Withnell design goes 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 passage lock with the Sierra lever covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage runs 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Measure the leaf at the bore before choosing, since a 2 inch door on a lock rated to 1-3/4 inch will leave the spindle short.
10) Is a dummy lever the same thing as a Sargent 65U15 passage lock?
No. The Sargent 65U15 is a passage cylindrical lock with a working latch, so the lever retracts a latchbolt and holds the door closed. A dummy lever is fixed trim with no latch at all - the Accentra 455LN Augusta single dummy, the BEST 9K 1DT single dummy trim, the BEST 7KC 1DT single dummy trim, and the Callan Bentley are all dummy function. Use a dummy only on an inactive leaf or a door held by a ball catch; if the door needs to latch, the passage lock is the correct part.
11) What is the closest Grade 2 passage lever equivalent to the Sargent 65U15 from another manufacturer?
The Falcon B101 is the closest straight equivalent. Both are Grade 2 cylindrical passage levers with non-handed designs, so either drops into a hall, closet or corridor opening without a hand call at order time. The Sargent 65U15 is a standard duty Grade 2 passage cylindrical lock; the Falcon B101 is a medium duty Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever lock. Other Grade 2 passage lever options at the same function include the Accentra 5301LN Augusta and the Accentra 4601LN.
12) What should I use instead of the Sargent 65U15 on a high traffic corridor that needs Grade 1?
Step up to a Grade 1 passage lever. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage lock with non-handed levers, fire rated, and covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Falcon T101 is also Grade 1 heavy duty passage. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The Sargent 65U15 is Grade 2 standard duty and fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, so on thicker doors the Falcon K101 is the one that still covers the range.
13) The opening needs to be keyed - what takes the place of a Sargent 65U15 passage lever?
The Sargent 65U15 is non-keyed, so a keyed opening needs a different function. Grade 2 keyed cylindrical levers in the same family of openings include the Hager 2580 storeroom with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Cal-Royal AG05 Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Hager 2525 Grade 2 entry lever, and the Falcon B511CP6D Grade 2 entry/office lever. Storeroom keeps the outside lever locked at all times; entry/office allows the lever to be left unlocked for the day.
14) What lever styles and finishes does the Sargent 65U15 come in?
Three lever designs, B, L, and P, each available in all seven finishes: 03 bright brass clear coated, 04 satin brass clear coated, 10B dark oxidized satin bronze oil rubbed, 10BE dark oxidized satin bronze, 26 bright chrome over nickel, 26D satin chrome over nickel, and BSP black suede powder coat. If you're matching existing openings in a building, 26D is the standard commercial satin chrome most schedules run, and BSP is the option when the rest of the hardware is black.
15) Will the 1/2 inch latchbolt throw on the Sargent 6500 catch my existing strike?
The latchbolt throws 1/2 inch, which is the normal bored-lock throw and will engage any standard ANSI or T strike pocket. Where it matters is gap: if the door has settled and the gap to the jamb is running wide, a 1/2 inch throw gives you less margin than a deadlatch with a longer bolt, so shim or re-align the strike rather than counting on the bolt to reach. The strike ships with the lock, so you can set the new one to the door rather than fighting an old misaligned plate.
16) What else can I buy instead of the Sargent 65U15 passage lever for a commercial corridor door?
Staying at Grade 2 commercial: the Falcon B101 is a non-handed Grade 2 medium duty passage lever, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage lever, and the Hager 2510 Withnell is a Grade 2 passage lever rated for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, which gives you more thickness range if the door runs thicker than 1-3/4. The Design Hardware J75 is a Grade 2 passage lever but it's built for 1-3/4 inch doors only, so it's not the substitute on a 1-3/8 inch door.
17) Can I standardize a whole floor on the Sargent 6500 Series and mix locking and non-locking doors?
That's the usual reason to pick a series rather than a single lock. The 65U15 covers the passage openings, halls, closets, corridor doors, and the rest of the 6500 Series bored line covers the functions that lock, all sharing the same lever trim, the same modified 161 prep, and the same finish list. One lever design and one finish across the floor, different functions behind the rose. For an MRO or institutional buyer that means one prep on every door and a much shorter parts list to stock.
18) I need the same lever style on a restroom door that has to lock - what pairs with a passage lever?
A passage lever like the Sargent 65U15 is non-keyed and does not lock, so a restroom needs a privacy function instead. Grade 2 privacy options include the Hager 2540 with the Withnell lever, which covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever at Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Baldwin offers the Estate 5103 in both passage and privacy on the 5048 rose, which is the cleanest way to keep one lever design across a hall door and a bath door.
19) What is a lighter duty alternative to the Sargent 65U15 for interior residential-grade openings?
For light interior traffic in apartments or back-of-house rooms, Grade 3 passage levers cover the job: the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever set is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. The Sargent 65U15 is a Grade 2 commercial standard duty passage lock, which is the level to keep where the door sees daily public traffic.
20) Can a Grade 1 passage lever be swapped into an opening spec'd for a Grade 2 like the Sargent 65U15?
Function-wise yes, since both are passage and non-keyed, but check the door thickness first. The Sargent 65U15 covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever lockset with a flat lever built for a 1-3/4 inch door only, and the Design Hardware J75 is the Grade 2 version, also 1-3/4 inch. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. On a 1-3/8 inch leaf the Sargent 65U15 is the one that still fits.
21) Is a keypad lever a substitute for a Sargent 65U15?
No. The Sargent 65U15 is a non-keyed passage lever that stays unlocked and is meant for halls, closets and corridors where no access control is wanted. A keypad lever adds code-based access: the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination in passage function for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, and Emtek offers a Classic keypad leverset. Specify a keypad only when the door needs to be secured; for a door that simply needs a latch and a lever, the passage lock is the right part.
22) What Grade 2 passage lever alternatives are there if I want a squared-off trim instead of a round rose?
Bravura offers Grade 2 passage leversets in both trim shapes: the Tampa comes with square trim, while the Atlanta, Orlando and Miramar use round trim. The Sargent 65U15 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lock offered with B, L and P levers. Where a facility is standardizing trim shape across a floor, pick the trim family first and then confirm the function is passage on every opening.
23) Do I need a knob instead of a lever, and does that change the substitute for a Sargent 65U15?
It does, because knob trim is a different part entirely. The Sargent 65U15 uses lever trim, which is what meets accessible-design requirements. Arrow builds cylindrical locks with knob trim in other functions - the MK02-TA privacy with a Tudor knob, the HK11-BB entrance with a ball knob, and the MK33-BD-CS asylum function with a ball knob - but none of those is a passage function. If the opening calls for passage with a knob, that is a different order than any passage lever.
