Sargent 81-4698 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly comes with the Sargent 81-4698 turn lever and cylinder escutcheon?
It is the complete WT-style turn lever and cylinder inside escutcheon assembly, supplied as one component. That means the interior plate with the thumbturn (turn lever) and the cylinder opening, replaced in a single part rather than piecing together separate trim.
2) Is the 81-4698 the inside plate or the outside plate?
Inside only. The 81-4698 is the interior-facing escutcheon, the secure side of the door where the thumbturn sits. If you also need the exterior trim, that is a separate part.
3) Can I replace just the escutcheon instead of the whole Sargent mortise lock?
That is what this part is for. If the lock case still works but the interior trim is damaged, worn, or mismatched, the 81-4698 restores the function and appearance without pulling the mortise lock or re-prepping the door. Common on office, school, healthcare and hospitality doors already running Sargent 78/82 hardware.
4) Does the 81-4698 escutcheon come with a cylinder included?
The 81-4698 is the turn lever and cylinder escutcheon assembly, meaning it is the trim prepped to carry the cylinder on the inside face. Keying is handled separately: use your existing Sargent mortise cylinder so the door stays on the same key system.
5) We are converting a door to keypad access. Is there an escutcheon option other than the Sargent 81-4698 for that?
Yes, but it is a different class of trim. The Sargent 81-4698 is a mechanical replacement part, an inside escutcheon with a WT turn lever and cylinder for Sargent 78 and 82 Series mortise locks. For keypad entry, the Schlage Electronics 47260707 is a CO Series exterior escutcheon with keypad for CO100 cylindrical and mortise locks and ships with fasteners and an O-ring, and the 47260708 is the CO-100 keypad exterior escutcheon for exit trim in an aged bronze finish. Those mount on the outside of an electronic CO Series lock rather than replacing interior mechanical trim.
6) Will an MS Sedco ESC escutcheon plate work as a cover plate on a Sargent mortise lock door?
No. The MS Sedco ESC is a decorative stainless escutcheon plate made for R4 and R6 round switches, so it trims an actuator switch rather than a lock. The Sargent 81-4698 is the inside escutcheon assembly with WT turn lever and cylinder for Sargent 78 and 82 Series mortise locks, and it is the part that restores interior lock trim on those openings.
7) Is this Sargent escutcheon rated for commercial use or is it residential trim?
Commercial. The 81-4698 is built to Sargent's commercial hardware standards and is used on institutional openings such as government buildings, campuses and multi-tenant properties.
8) If I need to match an existing finish across a corridor, does the Sargent 81-4698 or the Schlage CO escutcheon give me more choice?
The Sargent 81-4698 inside escutcheon is offered in twelve finishes, including 03 Bright Brass clear coated, 04 Satin Brass, 09 Bright Bronze, 10 Satin Bronze, 10B and 10BL dark oxidized satin bronze, 15 Satin Nickel, 20D dark statuary bronze lacquered, 26 and 26D chromium over nickel, and 32 and 32D stainless steel. The Schlage Electronics 47260708 CO-100 keypad exterior escutcheon is an aged bronze unit. For matching mixed brass, bronze, chrome and stainless trim down a corridor of Sargent 78/82 mortise openings, the 81-4698 finish range is the one to work from.
