Sargent 28-7U15 LB 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sargent 7U15 passage lock fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or is it 1-3/4 only?
Both. The 7U15 covers door thickness from 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch, so it works on older interior wood doors and on standard 1-3/4 inch commercial doors without a spacer kit. If your door is thicker than 1-3/4 inch, look at a heavy duty option instead, such as the Falcon K101 passage lever, which is rated 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
2) Do I have to order a hand for the Sargent 7U15 lever lock?
No handing to specify. The 7U15 is a non-handed cylindrical lever lock, so one part number covers left and right hand openings. For a property manager or contractor stocking spares that means a single shelf item serves every interior door in the building, and nobody has to stand at the door working out which way it swings before the box is opened.
3) Does the Sargent 7U15 lock or take a key at all?
Neither. Passage function means the lever always retracts the latch from both sides, with no key, no cylinder, and no push button. It is for corridor, hall, and closet doors where you want a latched door that anyone can walk through. If you need the door to lock, this is the wrong function: for a keyed office or entry door look at the Hager 2525 entrance lock, and for bath or bedroom privacy the Hager 2540 with the Withnell lever.
4) What backset does the Sargent 7U15 come in, and will it drop into my existing door prep?
Backset is a required choice at order time: 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. Those are the two standard bored-door backsets, so an existing 161 prep on a commercial door takes the lock directly once you match the backset that was drilled. The 7U15 uses a modified 161 prep and mounts on internal through-bolts, which means no extra holes beyond the standard prep.
5) Is a Grade 2 lever like the Sargent 7U15 enough for a school or hospital corridor, or do I need Grade 1?
Grade 2, standard duty, meeting ANSI/BHMA A156.2 with an F75 function designation. That is the right level for interior passage doors in offices, medical suites, hotels, and government buildings, doors that see steady but not punishing traffic. For a high abuse opening, a gym corridor or a public restroom door, step up to a Grade 1 passage lever such as the Corbin Russwin CL3110 or the Falcon K101.
6) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Sargent 7U15 passage lever lock?
For a Grade 2 non-handed cylindrical passage lever, the Falcon B101 is the nearest match. Both are Grade 2 passage/hall/closet cylindrical lever locks with non-handed levers, and the Falcon B101 is a B Series medium duty unit. The Sargent 7U15 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lock and is non-handed, so either drops into the same interior opening without a handing call at the time of order. Hager also builds the 2510 Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever with the Withnell lever design, rated for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
7) What passage lever holds up better than a Grade 2 on a high-traffic corridor door?
Step up to a Grade 1 passage lever. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers, fire rated, covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Falcon T101 is also a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lever, built with pressure release technology. Corbin Russwin's CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet cylindrical lever from the CL3100 Series, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The Sargent 7U15 is a Grade 2 standard duty lock, so on a stairwell or main corridor seeing constant traffic the Grade 1 options carry the higher cycle rating.
8) I need a lever on the door that locks with a key - what replaces the 7U15?
The 7U15 is non-keyed passage function, so the latch retracts from either side and it never locks. For a keyed opening, the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom leverset with a deadlocking latchbolt for the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range. For an office door that gets locked and unlocked by key, the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty entry/office cylindrical lever, and the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lock with lever handle.
9) What should I use on a restroom or bedroom door instead of a passage lever?
Passage function has no locking at all, so a restroom or bedroom needs privacy function. The Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock, fire rated, with a Tudor knob for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Baldwin's Estate 5103 is offered in a privacy lever with the 5048 rose. Keep the 7U15 passage lock for the corridor, hall, and closet openings where free egress both ways is what you want.
10) Does a dummy lever work as a substitute for a passage lockset?
No. A dummy lever is fixed trim with no latch behind it, so it will not hold a door closed. The BEST 7KC 1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim cylindrical lever, the BEST 9K 1DT is the Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim version, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever from the 5400 Series. Emtek supplies dummy pairs such as the Arts and Crafts and Cortina levers for double doors where one leaf is inactive. The Sargent 7U15 is a cylindrical lock with a working latchbolt, which is what a hall or closet door needs to latch.
11) My doors are 2 inches thick - which Grade 2 passage lever covers that?
The Sargent 7U15 is specified for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For thicker leaves, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 passage cylindrical lock with the Sierra lever covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. If the door runs thicker still, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Measure the actual leaf before ordering, since thick fire-rated and clad doors commonly land above the 1-3/4 inch line.
12) Which passage lever should I specify when the opening is fire rated?
A fire rated opening needs a lock listed for it. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers carrying a fire rating and covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever with a fire rating for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The Kwikset 200DL-RCALFD Delta passage lock is furnished with a round corner adjustable 20 minute UL latch and round corner strike. Confirm the label on the door leaf and frame matches whichever lock you specify.
13) Can I match the Sargent 7U15 passage lever to the keyed locks already on my other doors?
On appearance, yes. Three lever designs are offered, B, L, and P, in fourteen finishes running from 03 bright brass and 04 satin brass through 10B oil rubbed bronze, 26D satin chrome, and BSP black or WSP white suede powder coat. Specify the same lever style and finish code as the keyed 7 Line locks on the rest of the openings and the passage doors will read identically. Keying is not a factor here, the passage lock has no cylinder.
14) What is the difference between the Sargent 7U15 and a dummy lever?
The 7U15 is a working latch. Turn the lever from either side and the 1/2 inch latchbolt retracts, so the door stays shut against a draft and opens on demand. A dummy trim, like the BEST 7KC single dummy or the Accentra 455LN Augusta single dummy, is a fixed pull with no latch and no moving mechanism, used on the inactive leaf of a pair or on a door held by ball catches. If the door needs to stay closed on its own, you want the passage lock, not the dummy.
15) Is there a lighter-duty passage lever for interior residential-style doors instead of a commercial Grade 2?
Grade 3 passage levers cover lighter interior openings. The Callan Asheville CLN-AH5011 is a Grade 3 passage leverset in a satin nickel finish, and the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever set for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever is supplied with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike. The Sargent 7U15 is a Grade 2 commercial lock, so on apartment interior bedroom and closet doors in a lower-traffic unit the Grade 3 sets are the lighter-duty tier.
16) What are the other Grade 2 passage lever options if I want a different lever style?
Several Grade 2 passage leversets differ mainly in trim. The Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical lever in the 5300 Series and the Accentra 4601LN carries the same Augusta trim design in the 4600 Series. Bravura offers Grade 2 passage leversets in round trim as the Atlanta and Orlando, in square trim as the Tampa, and the Miramar in US4 satin brass. The Design Hardware J75 is a Grade 2 passage lever lockset with a flat lever for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Sargent 7U15 covers lever style through its B, L, and P lever choices.
17) Is there a passage lever that opens with a code instead of being free both ways?
Yes, mechanical keypad levers cover that. The Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination in passage function, fitting doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, and Emtek builds a Classic keypad leverset. The Sargent 7U15 is non-keyed passage function with no access control at the lever, so where you want to restrict who passes without issuing keys, a keypad set is the swap.
18) What is the difference between the Design Hardware J75 and X75 passage levers?
Both are passage lever locksets with a flat lever for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the split is the grade: the J Series J75 is Grade 2 and the X Series X75 is Grade 1. The Sargent 7U15 sits at Grade 2 like the J75, and covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so it takes thinner leaves than either Design Hardware set. On a job where the specification calls out Grade 1 passage hardware, the X75 is the one of the two that meets it.
19) Can I use a knob lockset where a passage lever is specified?
Not where lever operation is required. Knob sets in the same cylindrical family include the Arrow MK02-TA Grade 2 privacy with a Tudor knob, the Arrow MK33-BD-CS Grade 2 heavy duty asylum lock with a ball knob and conventional cylinder in Schlage C keyway, and the Arrow HK11-BB Grade 2 turn-pushbutton entrance lock with a ball knob. The Sargent 7U15 uses a lever handle, which is what accessible openings call for, and it is offered with B, L, and P levers.
20) What do I use on a classroom or patient room door where a passage lever is not enough?
Those openings call for function-specific locks. The Dexter C1000 classroom lever is Grade 1 with clutching and keyed operation for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the C1000 classroom security version adds the second cylinder for locking from inside. The Dexter C1000 asylum lock is Grade 1 for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AG03 is a Grade 2 classroom lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway, keyed different, on a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Sargent 7U15 stays on the hall and closet doors in the same building where no locking is required.
21) Is there an antimicrobial version of the Sargent 7 Line lever for a healthcare facility?
Microshield antimicrobial coating is offered on the 7 Line passage lock, aimed at high touch doors in hospitals, clinics, and schools. Call it out as an option when you place the order, since it is a coating specified on top of the finish rather than a separate model.
22) Do I need extra through-bolts or a mounting kit to install the Sargent 7 Line passage lever?
No separate kit. The through-bolts are internal to the lock and require no door preparation beyond the standard bored prep, so the assembly, latch, and your chosen strike are all you order. Budget about a minute per door for the actual install once the prep is right.
23) What passage lever suits a decorative residential opening rather than a commercial corridor?
For decorative interior openings, the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with the 5048 rose is the residential-styled passage set, with matching half dummy levers in left hand and right hand for inactive leaves. Deltana's entry levers, including the Manchester 6201, Morant 6411, and Linstead 6431, cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors in entry function. The Sargent 7U15 is a commercial lock built for public buildings and institutional corridors, so the trim styling and duty profile are what separate them.
