Sargent 8215 LE1A 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sargent 8215-ET mortise lock fit a 1-3/4 inch door?
Yes, 1-3/4 inches is exactly what the 8215-ET is built around, with a 2-3/4 inch backset. That is the standard commercial door thickness, so on a typical hollow metal or solid core commercial opening this drops into a standard ANSI mortise pocket. If your doors are thicker, look at the Hager 3810E passage mortise lock instead, which covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches.
2) Does the Sargent 8215 passage mortise lock take a key or lock at all?
No. The 8215 is a passage/closet function, non-keyed: the levers always retract the latch from both sides and there is nothing to lock. Use it on corridor doors, hall doors and closets where you only need latching. If the opening needs to be secured, the 8200 family has keyed functions, or for a non-Sargent option the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset and the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset.
3) Will the Sargent 8215 latch into the strike that is already in my frame?
The 8215 has a 3/4 inch latchbolt throw off a 2-3/4 inch backset. If the frame is already prepped for a standard ANSI mortise lock strike, that geometry lines up. Where you are replacing a bored cylindrical lock, the frame prep is different and you will need the mortise strike and a new door pocket, not just the lock.
4) Does the Sargent 8215 passage lock need power or wiring?
No. The 8215 passage function is mechanical, non-electronic, so there is no power supply, wiring or access control tie-in to plan for. EcoFlex and the 12 to 24VDC range apply to the electromechanical functions in the 8200 family, not to this one. If you actually want an electrified mortise lock, the BEST 45HW is a wired electromechanical mortise lock with 12V/24V operation and the Command Access ML190 is a motorized mortise lock with field selectable EL/EU at 24VDC.
5) What else could I buy instead of a Sargent 8215 Grade 1 passage mortise lock?
For a straight mechanical passage mortise: the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock that is fire rated and field reversible, and the Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage latch mortise lock. In behavioral health or detention work, TownSteel's MRX-L-01 (lever) and MRX-A-01 (arch trim push) are Grade 1 heavy duty anti-ligature passage mortise locksets. If the door is bored rather than mortised, the Schlage PC10 is a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock with a rose and needs no mortise pocket.
6) Is a Schlage L0170 dummy trim an acceptable substitute for a Sargent 8215-ET?
No. The Schlage L0170 is half dummy trim - a Grade 1 mortise non-keyed lever with dummy function for 1-3/4 inch doors, meaning the lever is fixed and there is no latch behind it. The Sargent 8215-ET is a heavy duty mortise lock with passage function, so its lever retracts a latchbolt and holds the door closed. Use dummy trim only on the inactive leaf of a pair or a door held by a catch.
7) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to a Sargent 8215 passage mortise lock?
The Falcon MA101 is the nearest match. It is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lock with the Passage/Hall/Closet function, the same grade, duty level and function the Sargent 8215-ET carries. Both are non-keyed mortise bodies for a door that needs to latch without locking. The Sargent 8215-ET is supplied with escutcheon trim in LE1, LS, LW1 and WT styles; the Falcon MA101 is from the MA Series and is field reversible.
8) Is a Schlage PM010 the same thing as a Sargent 8215 mortise passage lock?
They serve the same opening but are not identical. The Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 passage latch mortise lock, non-keyed, for 1-3/4 inch doors - a passage latch body. The Sargent 8215-ET is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lock with passage function supplied with escutcheon trim and a lever, in eight lever designs from A through W. If the door already has usable trim, the PM010 covers the latching; if the trim is being replaced at the same time, the 8215-ET arrives with the escutcheon.
9) What passage lock should I use if the door is prepped for a cylindrical bore instead of a mortise pocket?
The Schlage PC10 is the cylindrical option. It is a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock, non-keyed with rose trim, for a 1-3/4 inch door, and it fits a bored door prep. The Sargent 8215-ET is a mortise lock and needs a mortise pocket cut into the door edge, so it will not drop into a cylindrical prep.
10) The closet door needs to lock, not just latch - what takes the place of a Sargent 8215-ET?
Move to a keyed mortise function. The Cal-Royal NM8080 is a heavy duty Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock from the 8800 Series with an Arcadia lever. The Sargent 8215-ET is non-keyed with passage function, so the lever always retracts the latch on both sides.
11) What mortise lock should I specify instead of a Sargent 8215-ET for a restroom that needs privacy?
A privacy function body. The Hager 3840S is a 3800 Series Grade 1 privacy mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a heavy duty Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Sargent 8215-ET is passage function and has no way to secure the door from the inside.
12) For a behavioral health or patient room passage opening, what replaces a Sargent 8215-ET?
The TownSteel MRX-L-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty anti-ligature lever mortise lockset in stainless steel with passage function for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the MRX-A-01 is the same passage function in satin stainless with ligature resistant arch trim. Both share the Passage/Hall/Closet function of the Sargent 8215-ET; the difference is the ligature resistant trim geometry. The Sargent 8215-ET uses a conventional lever in eight designs with escutcheon trim.
13) Can I put a Sargent 8215-ET on a classroom door instead of a keyed classroom lock?
Not for a classroom that must be secured. The Sargent 8215-ET is non-keyed with passage function. Keyed classroom mortise bodies include the Corbin Russwin ML2003, a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset from the ML2000 Series for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal NM8070, a heavy duty Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors.
14) Why does a passage lock have cylinder and keying options on the order form?
The 8215 lock body is the multi-functional 8200 body, so the order form carries the standard 8200 cylinder and keying choices: Standard Cylinder, Less Cylinder, 70 (small format interchangeable core prep, less core) and 60 (large format interchangeable core prep, less core), with KD, KA or key code keying. For a straight passage opening you do not need any of it, pick Less Cylinder and keying None. The prep options matter if you are standardizing a building on SFIC or LFIC cores and want the hardware consistent across every door.
15) What is the difference between the escutcheon trim on the Sargent 8215-ET and a rose trim passage mortise lock?
The ET here means escutcheon: a full vertical plate covering the lock area of the door rather than a small round rose behind the lever. Escutcheon is the usual choice when you are covering an older prep or want the heavier commercial look across a run of doors. The 8215-ET comes in LE1, LS, LW1 and WT escutcheon designs. If you want the smaller footprint instead, the Hager 3810S is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with a rose.
16) How many lever designs and finishes does the Sargent 8215 passage mortise lock come in?
Eight lever designs (A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W) across sixteen finishes, from 03 bright brass and 04 satin brass through 10B oil rubbed bronze, 26D satin chrome, 32D satin stainless and the BSP black and WSP white suede powder coats. That range is why property managers use the 8200 to match passage doors to the keyed openings already in the building: same lever, same finish, different function.
17) Is the Sargent 8215-ET durable enough for a high traffic corridor or school door?
It completed the UL Cycle Above and Beyond test at 16 million cycles (Verification ID V584148) and is rated Heavy Duty, Grade 1, commercial. On a hall or corridor door that gets used constantly, that cycle number is the reason to spend on a mortise body rather than a bored lock.
18) Can I standardize a whole building on Sargent 8200 mortise locks and still use my existing key system?
The 8200 lock body is multi-functional and works with all Sargent key systems, including Degree, Signature, KESO and XC. So the keyed openings carry your existing system while the passage doors take the 8215 with the same lever and finish, and every door in the run looks and feels the same. The 8215 itself is non-keyed, so it contributes nothing to the keying schedule.
19) What is the difference between a Hager 3810E and a Hager 3810S when replacing a Sargent 8215-ET?
Trim style is the difference. The Hager 3810E is a 3800 Series Grade 1 passage mortise lock with escutcheon and 2-3/4 inch backset; the Hager 3810S is the same 3800 Series Grade 1 passage mortise lock with rose trim and the same 2-3/4 inch backset. Both are listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/2 inch doors. The Sargent 8215-ET uses escutcheon trim, so the 3810E covers the same cutout footprint on the door face and the 3810S does not.
20) We need a push/pull instead of a lever on a hospital passage door - what is the alternative to a Sargent 8215-ET?
The Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset in satin stainless steel, ligature resistant and ADA compliant, from the 195 Series. It handles the same non-latching-secure passage opening as the Sargent 8215-ET but is operated by a paddle rather than a lever; the Sargent 8215-ET is a lever product.
21) Is the Sargent 8215-ET an electronic lock, and what mortise locks are if I need access control?
The Sargent 8215-ET is not electronic - it is a mechanical mortise lock with a lever. If the opening needs credentials, the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 mortise lockset with RFID technology, the Dormakaba E-Plex 5086 is a Grade 1 electronic pushbutton and card mortise lock, and the Schlage LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and a 3 hour fire rating.
22) Does the Sargent 8215-ET fit a 1 inch ornamental iron stile like a Marks 21AC?
No. The Marks USA 21AC and 22AC are ornamental iron mortise locks built for a 1 inch door, with round knob trim. The Sargent 8215-ET is a heavy duty mortise lock built for a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door with a 2-3/4 inch backset, so a narrow iron stile will not accept it.
23) What is the difference between a Sargent 8215-ET and a BEST 45H public entrance mortise lock body?
Function and completeness. The BEST 45H is a heavy duty mortise lock body with public entrance function and field reversible operation - a lock body from the 45H series. The Sargent 8215-ET is a heavy duty Grade 1 mortise lock with passage function supplied with escutcheon trim and lever. Public entrance keeps the outside lever locked or unlocked by key; passage never locks.
24) Are Emtek mortise entrance locksets an alternative to a Sargent 8215-ET on a commercial passage door?
They fill a different role. The Emtek 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton and 3106 Manhattan mortise entrance locksets are dummy function - the trim does not operate a latch. The Sargent 8215-ET is a Grade 1 heavy duty commercial mortise lock with passage function whose lever retracts the latchbolt.
