Sargent 70RX-8270-24V LNP 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between fail-safe and fail-secure on the Sargent RX-827 electrified mortise lock, and which should I order?
Both are offered on the 70RX-827. Fail-safe unlocks the outside lever when power is lost, which is what you want on stair re-entry and egress-path openings that must release during an alarm or outage. Fail-secure keeps the outside lever locked with no power, which is the normal choice for exterior entrances, tenant suites and anything protecting stock or records. Note the lock is Power ON operation: power applied drives the lock/unlock state of the outside lever, so the fail mode decides what happens when that power drops. Key-side and inside lever egress are unaffected.
2) Does the Sargent 70RX-827 mortise lock come with a cylinder?
No. The 70RX-827 ships less core with a small format interchangeable core (SFIC) prep, so you supply the SFIC core yourself and key it into your existing system. That is the point of the configuration: a facility already running SFIC can drop in its own keyway and keying without going back to the factory. Budget an SFIC core per lock on your order.
3) What does the RX switch in the Sargent RX-827 actually do, and do I still need a separate request-to-exit sensor?
The RX (request to exit) switch is built into the lock body, so it signals your access control panel the moment the inside lever is turned. That gives you a legitimate-egress signal to shunt the door alarm, so you do not need a separate REX push button or motion sensor at the door for that function. Wire the RX leads back to the panel input along with the lock power.
4) Is the Sargent RX-827 electrified mortise lock approved for a fire-rated door?
Yes. The RX-827 mortise lock body is UL and cUL listed and carries ANSI/UL 10C positive pressure fire test certification for door assemblies. On a fire door, order fail-secure unless your local authority specifically requires release on power loss, and keep the inside lever free for egress at all times.
5) Is the Sargent 70RX-827 a 12V or 24V lock?
Both. The 70RX-827 is ordered in either 12V or 24V, and that is a build option, not field-selectable, so match it to the power supply already feeding the opening. Verify the supply's current capacity as well. The lock uses Ecoflex Technology, which cuts power draw by up to 96 percent as certified by GreenCircle, so a single supply can carry more openings than a conventional electrified mortise lock.
6) Will the Sargent RX-827 match the lever style on the rest of my 8200 Series openings?
Likely yes. The 70RX-827 is part of the RX-8200 Series within Sargent's 8200 Series collection and is offered with B, J, MI, ND, P and W levers on the LN rose. If your existing Sargent mortise locks use any of those lever designs, the electrified opening will look the same down the corridor. Finishes offered are 26D satin chromium plated over nickel and 32D satin stainless steel.
7) Do I need to specify handing when ordering the Sargent 70RX-827?
The 70RX-827 is re-handed in the field, and Sargent's design lets you do it without removing parts or opening the lock case. So a wrong-hand delivery is not a return. Still confirm the hand on site before trim goes on, since the lever and rose mount to the handed configuration.
8) Is the Sargent RX-827 heavy-duty enough for a school or hospital corridor door?
It is built for exactly that traffic. The RX-827 carries ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000 Operational Grade 1 and Security Grade 1 ratings with all standard trims, which is the top commercial tier for mortise locks, and it is specified as a commercial product. Common deployments are healthcare security, educational facilities, government buildings and multi-tenant residential.
9) Should I use an electrified mortise lock like the Sargent RX-827 or an electric strike for my access-controlled door?
An electrified mortise lock controls the lever itself, so the latch never has to release against a frame-mounted keeper and you get the request-to-exit signal from the same device. The RX-827 fits that case: single cylinder mortise body, Power ON control of the outside lever, RX switch integrated. An electric strike is the cheaper retrofit when the door is already prepped for a mechanical lock and you only need frame work. Choose the mortise lock when the door is being prepped new, when you want the egress signal built in, or when you need Grade 1 security at the lock rather than the frame.
10) What else do I need to order with the Sargent 70RX-827 to finish the job?
The 70RX-827 is the lock body with SFIC prep. Plan on an SFIC core for each lock since it ships less core, a power supply matched to the 12V or 24V build you selected, and a door loop or electric hinge to carry power and the RX leads from frame to door. Wiring follows Sargent's diagrams, and power should be off during installation.
