Sargent 28-7G15-3 LB 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the communicating function on the Sargent 7G15 lock actually do?
The 7G15 is a communicating function lock, non-keyed, used on a door between two adjoining rooms (hotel connecting rooms are the classic case). It has no key cylinder at all, so access is controlled from the levers rather than a keyway. If you need key control on the opening, this is the wrong function in the 7 Line and you want a keyed function instead.
2) Will the Sargent 7G15 fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or is it 1-3/4 only?
Both. The 7 Line cylindrical lock takes door thickness from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, so it drops onto older interior doors as well as standard commercial 1-3/4 inch doors. Prep is a modified 161 bore.
3) Can I use the Sargent 7 Line communicating lock on a fire rated door?
Yes. The 7 Line is UL-cUL fire rated up to 3 hours and NFPA 80 compliant, with a 1/2 inch latchbolt throw. It is also ADA compliant, which matters since it is a lever rather than a knob.
4) What should I use instead of the Sargent 7G15-3 on a door thicker than 1-3/4 inches?
The Sargent 7G15-3 covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For thicker leaves, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch and is fire rated, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. All three are passage function rather than communicating.
5) Do I have to specify handing when I order a Sargent 7 Line lever lock?
No. The 7 Line cylindrical lock is non-handed, so one part number covers left and right hand openings and you do not need to field-reverse anything.
6) Is a Grade 2 Sargent 7 Line lock enough for my building, or should I go Grade 1?
The 7 Line is Grade 2, standard duty, and rated to ANSI/BHMA A156.2. That suits interior commercial traffic, offices, hotel rooms, tenant spaces. For high abuse openings, entries, and stairwells, step up to a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical such as the Falcon K101 or the Corbin Russwin CL3100 Series, both Grade 1 and fire rated in our line.
7) Will this lock work with my existing Sargent master key system?
The 7G15 communicating function is non-keyed, so it does not take a cylinder and sits outside your keying schedule. Other 7 Line functions are available with all Sargent key systems, including Degree, Signature, KESO and XC, if you need this opening keyed into the building.
8) How much door prep does the Sargent 7 Line lock need on a retrofit?
Minimal beyond a standard modified 161 bore. The through-bolts are internal, so there is no extra drilling for mounting screws and no sex bolts showing on the rose. Sargent puts installation at about a minute once the door is prepped.
9) I need a plain passage lever, not a communicating lock. What should I look at instead?
Communicating is a specific two-room function. For a normal hall or closet door that never locks, a Grade 2 passage lever is the right call: the Falcon B101, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta, or the Hager 2510, which takes 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. All are non-keyed passage function.
10) If the door only needs a latch with no locking, what is a simpler substitute for the Sargent 7G15-3?
The 7G15-3 is a non-keyed communicating lever lock in Grade 2. For a plain latching opening with no lock function at all, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty non-handed cylindrical passage lever, and the Arrow GL01 is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage lever for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick. Both are passage only and will not hold the door against a latch retraction from either side the way a communicating lock does.
11) Which Grade 2 lever locks are closest in grade to the Sargent 7G15-3 if I need a keyed function on the same door instead?
The 7G15-3 is non-keyed. For a keyed Grade 2 cylindrical lever on comparable footing, the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 entrance lever over the same thickness range, and the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Each changes the function, so match the door's security requirement rather than the grade alone.
12) Is a dummy lever trim an acceptable substitute for the Sargent 7G15-3?
No. The 7G15-3 is a cylindrical lock with a working latch in communicating function. Dummy trims such as the BEST 7KC 1DT Grade 2 single dummy, the BEST 9K 1DT Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta Grade 1 single dummy are fixed pulls with no latch mechanism, intended for inactive leaves. They will not latch or operate a door.
13) Can I use a residential Grade 3 lever where the spec calls for the Sargent 7G15-3?
The 7G15-3 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical lever lock. Grade 3 levers such as the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal AUS00 entrance/office lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Callan Asheville passage lever sit at a lower ANSI/BHMA grade, so they will not satisfy a drawing written to Grade 2.
14) What is a Grade 2 alternative to the Sargent 7G15-3 for a patient room or institutional door needing a locked function on both sides?
The 7G15-3 is a non-keyed communicating lever. For institutional openings, the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 heavy duty asylum function cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder in the Schlage C keyway, and the Dexter C1000 asylum F87 is a Grade 1 version for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Both are knob or lever locks with key control on both sides rather than a non-keyed communicating latch.
15) What lever styles and finishes does the Sargent 7G15 come in?
Three lever designs, B, L and P, across fourteen finishes: 03, 04, 09, 10, 10B, 10BE, 10BL, 14, 15, 20D, 26, 26D plus BSP black suede and WSP white suede powder coat. If you are matching existing openings in a building, 26D satin chrome and 10B oil rubbed bronze are the usual commercial standards.
16) Is there a version of this lock for a hospital or clinic door?
Yes. The 7 Line is offered with Microshield antimicrobial coating for healthcare, schools and other high touch openings. Specify it when you order.
17) Is a keypad leverset a substitute for the Sargent 7G15-3?
Not functionally. The 7G15-3 is a mechanical non-keyed cylindrical lever in communicating function. Keypad levers such as the Delaney LP250 Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock and the Lockey 1150 mechanical keypad lever set for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch add code-based access control, which is a different operation from a communicating lock and a different door prep.
