Sargent 8213 EA 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sargent 8213 mortise lock fit a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door?
Yes. The 8213 is built for 1-3/4 inch door thickness with a 2-3/4 inch backset, which is the standard commercial mortise prep. The latchbolt throws 3/4 inch, so it engages a normal ANSI mortise strike in a hollow metal or wood frame. If your doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inches, this is not the configuration to order.
2) What does the 8213 communication/exit function actually do on the door?
It is the non-keyed exit side of the opening. The 8213 is a communication/exit function mortise lock, so there is no cylinder in the operation: both levers retract the latch for free passage and egress. Use it where you need code-compliant exit and latching but no locking, such as stairwell exit sides, corridor cross-doors and vestibules. If the door has to lock, look at a storeroom or classroom function instead.
3) Can I use a Sargent 8213 on a fire-rated door?
Yes. The 8213 carries a UL 10C positive pressure fire rating up to 3 hours and is listed as NFPA 80 compliant, so it can go on rated openings in stairwells, corridors and exit passageways. It is also certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000, Grade 1.
4) What do I need to pick to build a complete Sargent 8213 lockset?
Three trim choices. Lever style comes in A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W. Rose comes in E (3-1/16 inch / 78mm), L (3-1/2 inch / 89mm), LN (2 inch / 51mm) and O (2-3/4 inch / 67mm). Finish runs 16 options, from 03 bright brass and 04 satin brass through 10B oil rubbed bronze, 26D satin chrome and 32D satin stainless, plus BSP black and WSP white suede powder coat. Match the lever and rose to what is already on the adjacent doors if you are keeping a building consistent.
5) What is a comparable Grade 1 mortise lock if the opening needs a keyed storeroom function instead of communication/exit?
The Sargent 8213 is a non-keyed communication/exit function mortise lock, so it will not secure an opening that needs key control from the outside. For a keyed storeroom opening, the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series, and the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option for 1-3/4 inch doors.
6) Which mortise lock should I use if the room needs classroom function rather than communication/exit?
Classroom function is a different opening entirely from the Sargent 8213's communication/exit function. The Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset in the ML2000 Series for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal NM8070 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch, also for 1-3/4 inch doors.
7) What should I specify instead of the Sargent 8213 for a restroom or bedroom that needs privacy locking?
The Sargent 8213 communication/exit function does not provide a privacy lock. For a bed, bath or restroom opening, the Hager 3840S is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors.
8) If the opening needs access control with a keypad or credential reader, what replaces a Sargent 8213?
The Sargent 8213 is a mechanical, non-electronic mortise lock. For credentialed access, the Schlage CO-100-MS standalone electronic mortise lock uses a keypad reader and is Grade 1 heavy duty for 1-3/4 inch doors, the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with RFID, and the Alarm Lock DL3500CR is a Grade 1 electronic mortise lock with 300 user codes and classroom function for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors.
9) Can I use a cylindrical lock in place of the Sargent 8213 mortise lock?
No. The Sargent 8213 is a mortise lock and requires a mortise pocket routed into the door edge. A cylindrical lock such as the Schlage PC10, a Grade 1 non-keyed passage cylindrical lock with rose for 1-3/4 inch doors, installs into bored holes instead and is not interchangeable with a mortise prep without modifying the door.
10) What is an alternative to the Sargent 8213 for a behavioral health or ligature-resistant opening?
The Sargent 8213 uses conventional lever trim in A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W lever styles. Where the opening requires ligature-resistant trim, the TownSteel MRX-L-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty anti-ligature lever mortise lockset in passage function for 1-3/4 inch doors, the MRX-A-01 is the same passage function with satin stainless ligature-resistant arch trim, and the Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset that is ligature resistant and ADA compliant.
11) What mortise lock covers an electrified opening tied to an access control system, since the Sargent 8213 is mechanical?
The Sargent 8213 is a non-electronic mortise lock. For an opening switched by the access control panel, the Command Access ML190 is a heavy-duty motorized mortise lock with field selectable EL/EU operation at 24VDC in storeroom function, the BEST 45HW is a heavy duty wired electromechanical mortise lock with 12V/24V operation, and the Schlage L9092EU with 03A trim is a heavy duty electric lock/unlock outside lever mortise lock with request to exit at 12/24VDC for 1-3/4 inch doors.
12) Do I have to specify handing when I order the Sargent 8213?
No. The 8213 lock body is field reversible, so one lock covers left and right hand openings and you can change it on site. For a property manager or a maintenance shop that is one part number on the shelf instead of two.
13) Is the Sargent 8213 durable enough for a high traffic entrance or school corridor?
It is a heavy duty Grade 1 commercial mortise lock, and Sargent completed UL's Cycle Above and Beyond test at 16 million cycles (Verification ID V584148). That is the class of hardware specified for schools, healthcare and high-rise office corridors rather than light commercial tenant work.
14) Will the 8213 work with our existing Sargent master key system?
The 8213 itself is the non-keyed communication/exit function, so there is nothing to key on this one. The 8200 Series lock body it comes from integrates with all SARGENT key systems, including Degree, Signature, KESO and XC, so if you standardize the building on 8200 Series bodies the keyed functions on the other openings drop straight into your existing system.
15) What is the difference between the Sargent 8213 and a passage mortise lock like the Schlage PM010 or Falcon MA101?
They sit in the same place on the door: all three are non-locking mortise functions for free passage in both directions. The Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 passage latch mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock, also field reversible and fire rated. The 8213 is Sargent's communication/exit version in the 8200 Series, so it is the one to use when the rest of the building is already on Sargent 8200 bodies and trim.
16) I need the same Sargent look but the door has to lock. What else should I be looking at?
Stay in Grade 1 mortise and change the function. Keyed Grade 1 mortise options we carry include the Corbin Russwin ML2003 classroom lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal NM8080 storeroom and NM8070 classroom locksets, the Accentra 8805FL storeroom lock, and the Cal-Royal NM8440 privacy function with deadbolt for restrooms. The 8213 communication/exit body has no keyed operation, so it cannot be converted into a locking function.
17) Can the 8213 replace a mortise lock on a 1-3/8 inch door or a thick 2 inch door?
No. The 8213 is built around 1-3/4 inch door thickness. For thicker doors, the Hager 3800 Series mortise locks cover 1-3/4 inch up to 2-1/2 inch, and the Baldwin 6310 mortise body is listed for 1-3/8 inch and over, though it uses a 2-1/2 inch backset rather than 2-3/4.
18) What looks like a substitute for the Sargent 8213 but will not actually latch the door?
Dummy trim is the common mix-up. The Schlage L0170 is a Grade 1 mortise half dummy trim with no latching mechanism, and the Emtek 3102 Memphis and 3104 Hamilton mortise entrance locksets are also dummy function. The Sargent 8213 is a working communication/exit function mortise lock body with lever trim, so dummy trim is not an equivalent on an operating door.
19) Is there an escutcheon-trim mortise lock comparable to the Sargent 8213 rose trim?
The Sargent 8213 is supplied with rose trim in E, L, LN and O rose sizes from 2 inch up to 3-1/2 inch. If the door calls for a full escutcheon plate instead, the Hager 3810E is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with escutcheon and 2-3/4 inch backset for 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inch doors, and the Hager 3850E is a Grade 1 non-keyed office mortise lock with lever and escutcheon on the same backset.
20) If I only need a mortise lock body without trim, what are my options next to the Sargent 8213?
The Sargent 8213 is supplied as a complete lock with rose trim and lever. Where only a lock body is being replaced, the BEST 45HCA is a heavy duty mortise lock body in public entrance function with field reversible operation, and the 45HCA intruder function lockbody is the same heavy duty body in intruder function. The Baldwin 6301 lever by lever is a 2-1/2 inch backset entrance/apartment mortise lock body for 1-3/4 inch and thicker doors.
21) What is the difference between the Sargent 8213 and a Grade 1 office function mortise lock?
The Sargent 8213 is a non-keyed Grade 1 heavy duty communication/exit function lock, intended for openings where the lever controls passage rather than key-controlled entry. An office function lock such as the Cal-Royal NM8050, a Grade 1 office/entrance mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors, or the Hager 3850E non-keyed Grade 1 office mortise lock, is set up for an occupant to secure the office from inside.
22) Is the Sargent 8213 an electronic or access control lock?
No, it is a purely mechanical lever mortise lock with no electrification. If the opening needs credential control, the mortise options we carry on that side include the TownSteel FME-2000 Grade 1 RFID classroom lockset, the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 pushbutton keyless mortise lock, and the Alarm Lock DL3500CR Trilogy Grade 1 classroom lock for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors.
