Sargent 81-0490 20D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly is the Sargent 81-0490, just the lever or a complete lockset?
It is the inside (interior side) lever only, a genuine Sargent replacement trim part for the 8200 Series mortise lock. No lock body, no outside trim, no cylinder comes with it. If your 8200 lock is working but the inside lever is broken, bent, or the finish is worn, this is the piece you order. If the lock body itself has failed, you need a lock body, not this trim.
2) Will the 81-0490 lever fit a Sargent 8200 Series mortise lock I already have in the door?
Yes. The 81-0490 is the factory part for the Sargent 8200 Series mortise lock and installs on an existing 8200 lock without modification. It is a B Design lever, so it will visually match other 8200 openings already trimmed in B Design. If your existing levers are a different Sargent design profile, this one will function but will not match the rest.
3) Can I use the 81-0490 as the outside lever instead of the inside one?
No. The 81-0490 is specified as the interior-facing lever for the 8200 Series. Outside trim on a mortise lock is a different assembly, often including a spindle sized to door thickness, so ordering the inside lever for an exterior side will leave you short a part. For an outside lever and spindle in another line, the Corbin Russwin 483F80 is an example of how that side is sold: it is an ML2000 Series outside lever and spindle for a 1-3/4 inch thick door, Grade 1, corridor/dormitory function. It is not a Sargent part and will not fit an 8200 lock.
4) Can a Corbin Russwin ML2000 lever be used to replace a Sargent 8200 mortise lock inside lever?
No. The Sargent 81-0490 is an inside lever trim part built specifically for the Sargent 8200 Series mortise lock, so it mates to the 8200 lock body and spindle arrangement. The Corbin Russwin 483F80 is an outside lever and spindle for the ML2000 Series mortise lock, a different lock platform with its own trim interface. If the door carries an 8200 mortise body, stay with the Sargent 81-0490 in B Design; if it carries an ML2000 body, the 483F80 is the lever assembly that belongs to it.
5) What finish is the Sargent 81-0490 lever and will it match my other dark bronze hardware?
Dark Bronze Painted, Sargent finish code 20D, listed on the order line as 690 - Dark Bronze. It matches other 8200 Series trim carrying the same 20D code. Note that it is a painted bronze, not an oil-rubbed or plated bronze, so if your other openings are US10B or 613 oxidized bronze the tone will read differently.
6) Is this Sargent lever suitable for a school or hospital door, or is it residential grade?
It is a commercial part, built to the 8200 Series standard for institutional traffic, and Sargent's own service part for that platform. It is used in schools, healthcare, government buildings, offices, retail, and multi-tenant residential corridors. For a house door with residential-duty hardware it is overbuilt and will not mate to a non-8200 lock anyway.
7) I manage a building with mixed Sargent and Corbin Russwin mortise locks. Can one lever cover both?
No. Lever trim on mortise locks is brand and series specific. The 81-0490 fits Sargent 8200 Series lock bodies only. A Corbin Russwin ML2000 opening takes ML2000 trim, such as the 483F80 outside lever and spindle. Keep the two platforms stocked separately rather than trying to cross parts between them.
8) Do I need to know the lock's function code before ordering this Sargent inside lever?
Not for the lever itself. The 81-0490 is trim, so it does not change or depend on the lock function the way a cylinder or outside trim can. What you do need to confirm is that the lock is an 8200 Series mortise body and that the lever design on the opening is B Design, since the part is design-specific.
