Sargent 8215 EA 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sargent 8215 passage mortise lock fit a 1-3/4 inch commercial door?
Yes. The 8215 is built for 1-3/4 inch door thickness with a 2-3/4 inch backset, which is the standard commercial mortise prep. If your doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inches, this is not the right lock body for them.
2) Does the Sargent 8215 mortise lock lock at all, or does it just latch?
It only latches. The 8215 is a passage/closet function with no key and no locking from either side; both levers always retract the latch. Use it on corridor, hall, and closet doors where you never need to secure the opening. If you need to lock the outside lever, look at a keyed function in the 8200 Series instead.
3) Will the Sargent 8215 latch into the strike that's already in my frame?
The 8215 throws a 3/4 inch latchbolt from a 2-3/4 inch backset mortise body. If the existing opening is a standard ANSI mortise prep with an ANSI strike, the latch lines up. Frames cut for a bored lockset or a 2-3/8 inch backset will not accept it without new prep.
4) Do I have to order the Sargent 8215 left hand or right hand?
No handing to specify. The 8215 lock body is field reversible, so one part covers left and right hand openings and the crew sets it on site without extra hardware. That is useful when you are stocking spares for a building with doors swinging both ways.
5) Can I use the Sargent 8215 on a fire rated door?
Yes. The 8215 is UL 10C fire rated up to 3 hours and compliant with NFPA 80, so it is usable on rated corridor and stair-side openings within that rating. It is also ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000 Operational Grade 1.
6) What lever and rose do I need to pick when ordering a Sargent 8200 Series mortise lock?
Three trim choices go on the order. Lever style: A, B, E, F, J, L, P, or W. Rose: E rose at 3-1/16 inches (78mm), L rose at 3-1/2 inches (89mm), LN rose at 2 inches (51mm), or O rose at 2-3/4 inches (67mm). Then a finish from sixteen, including 26D satin chrome, 32D satin stainless, 10B oil rubbed bronze, and BSP black or WSP white suede powder coat. Rose diameter is the one to check against the door: a narrow lite or a tight glass stop wants the 2 inch LN rose.
7) What else can I use instead of a Sargent 8215 passage mortise lock?
A few Grade 1 mortise passage equivalents: the Falcon MA101 is a heavy duty Grade 1 mortise passage lock that is also field reversible and fire rated, and the Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 non-keyed mortise passage latch for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Hager 3810S is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with rose trim on a 2-3/4 inch backset, rated for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/2 inch doors, which is the one to look at if your doors run thicker than 1-3/4 inches.
8) The door is only prepped for a cylindrical bore, not a mortise pocket. What replaces a Sargent 8215?
Use the Schlage PC10, a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock, non-keyed with rose, for 1-3/4 inch doors. It gives the same passage function through a bored prep instead of a mortise pocket. The Sargent 8215 is a mortise lock and needs the rectangular pocket routed into the door edge, so it will not drop into a cylindrical prep.
9) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to a Sargent 8215 mortise passage lock?
The Falcon MA101 is the nearest match on paper: it is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lock in the passage/hall/closet function, the same function the Sargent 8215 carries, and it is field reversible like the 8215. The Sargent 8215 runs on the 8200 Series lock body with rose trim and eight lever styles, so the trim decision is made separately from the function; the Falcon sits in the MA Series. Both carry a fire rating, so either can be considered for a rated opening.
10) Is there a simpler passage mortise lock than the Sargent 8215 for a closet door that never needs keying?
The Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 passage latch mortise lock, non-keyed, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and it is a plainer way to get the same passage action into a mortise pocket. The Sargent 8215 is also non-keyed in its passage function but is built on a multi-functional 8200 Series body that integrates with all SARGENT key systems including Degree, Signature, KESO and XC, so it is the choice when the opening may be converted to a keyed function later or has to key into an existing Sargent system.
11) What passage mortise lock should be used instead of a Sargent 8215 on a behavioral health or detention room?
The TownSteel MRX-L-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage mortise lockset with an anti-ligature lever for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the MRX-A-01 is the same passage function with ligature resistant arch trim in satin stainless steel. Both hold the passage/hall/closet function the Sargent 8215 carries. The 8215 uses conventional lever and rose trim in eight lever shapes and four rose sizes, which is a standard-projection trim rather than a ligature resistant one.
12) Does a Hager 3810S cover the same opening as a Sargent 8215?
Both are passage mortise locks with rose trim. The Hager 3810S is a 3800 Series Grade 1 passage mortise lock with rose and a 2-3/4 inch backset, listed for a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/2 inch door thickness range. The Sargent 8215 also uses a 2-3/4 inch backset with a 3/4 inch latchbolt throw and is designed for 1-3/4 inch doors, so the Hager is the one to look at when the leaf is thicker than 1-3/4 inch. If the trim needs to be an escutcheon rather than a rose, Hager's 3810E is the same passage function with escutcheon.
13) The room needs to lock. What Grade 1 mortise lock takes the place of a Sargent 8215 passage function?
Passage is a latch only with no locking, so a lockable opening needs a keyed or privacy function body. Grade 1 mortise options include the Cal-Royal NM8080 storeroom with interchangeable core option, the NM8050 office/entrance with auxiliary deadlatch, the NM8070 classroom, and the NM8440 privacy with deadbolt, all for 1-3/4 inch doors. Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset on a 1-3/4 inch door, and Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock with Arcadia lever.
14) Is a Schlage L0170 half dummy trim a substitute for a Sargent 8215?
No. The Schlage L0170 is half dummy trim, a Grade 1 non-keyed lever in the L Series with a dummy function for 1-3/4 inch doors, meaning it is a fixed pull with no latch behind it. The Sargent 8215 is a passage function mortise lock with a working 3/4 inch throw latchbolt that retracts with the lever and holds the door closed. Emtek's 3019 Brisbane, 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton and 3106 Manhattan mortise entrance locksets are likewise dummy function. Use a dummy on an inactive leaf and a passage lock where the door has to latch.
15) Can a Baldwin 6301 mortise lock body be swapped in for a Sargent 8215?
Not into the same door prep. The Baldwin 6301 is an entry/apartment mortise lock body on a 2-1/2 inch backset, offered knob by knob or, as the 6301LS, lever by lever, for doors 1-3/4 inch and over. The Sargent 8215 uses a 2-3/4 inch backset, so the cross-bore and pocket centerlines do not line up between the two. The 6301 is also an entrance/apartment function rather than the passage function the 8215 provides.
16) Why would I order a cylinder for a Sargent 8215 if it's a passage lock?
Most jobs don't need one. The cylinder choice exists so the lock body can be prepped to match the rest of a keyed 8200 Series opening set, and the options are standard cylinder, less cylinder, 70 small format interchangeable core prep less core, and 60 large format interchangeable core prep less core. If you truly want a passage-only function, order less cylinder and select None on the keying option. The 8200 body works with all SARGENT key systems including Degree, Signature, KESO, and XC, so a facility standardizing on one keyway stays consistent.
17) Will the Sargent 8215 hold up on a high traffic school or hospital corridor door?
That's what it's built for. Heavy duty Grade 1 construction, and Sargent ran the UL Cycle Above and Beyond test to 16 million cycles (Verification ID V584148). For comparison, most Grade 1 mortise locks are certified at the ANSI cycle minimum and nothing beyond it.
18) Is the Sargent 8215 a full lockset or just the lock body?
It ships as a complete lever mortise lockset with rose trim, not a bare body. You pick the lever style, the rose size, and the finish, and the trim comes with it. If what you actually need is a replacement lock body to reuse existing trim, the BEST 45H Series heavy duty mortise lock bodies are sold that way.
19) Can I match the Sargent 8215 to the keyed mortise locks already on my other doors?
Yes, and that's the usual reason to spec it. It's an 8200 Series body, so the lever, rose, and finish match the keyed 8200 functions on the rest of the building, and a passage door reads as part of the same set. Sixteen finishes are offered, including 26D satin chrome and 32D satin stainless, the two most common on commercial openings.
20) Which mortise lock gives passage operation with a push/pull paddle instead of a lever?
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 is the paddle answer where a patient room or a gurney corridor needs no grasping motion. The Sargent 8215 delivers the same passage function through a lever, offered in eight lever styles across four rose sizes.
21) What is the difference between a Sargent 8215 and a BEST 45H mortise lock body?
The BEST 45HCAC is a heavy duty mortise lock body in the public entrance function and is field reversible; the 45HCAINL is a heavy duty mortise lockbody with intruder function. Both are lock bodies, so trim is specified separately. The Sargent 8215 is a complete passage function heavy duty lock supplied with lever and rose trim, field reversible for left or right hand, chosen from eight lever styles, four rose sizes and sixteen finishes.
22) If the opening needs access control instead of a mechanical passage lock, what mortise locks replace a Sargent 8215?
The Sargent 8215 is a non-electronic mechanical lock, so a credentialed opening needs a different body. Grade 1 electronic mortise options include the Schlage ENGAGE LEMD-GRW wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and mobile enablement, the TownSteel FME-2000 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with RFID for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Alarm Lock DL3500CR Trilogy with 300 user codes and classroom function for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors. The Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 is a Grade 1 pushbutton and card back to back mortise lock.
23) Which mortise passage lock is right when the opening is fire rated?
The Sargent 8215 is UL 10C fire rated up to 3 hours with NFPA 80 compliance and carries an ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000 Operational Grade 1 rating. Among passage-function peers, the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock that is also fire rated. Confirm the door and frame label allow the specific lock before ordering either.
24) Is the Sargent 8215 electronic or does it need power?
Purely mechanical. No wiring, no power supply, no battery, nothing to fail when the building drops power. If you need an access controlled mortise opening instead, the BEST 45HW is a wired electromechanical mortise lock running 12V or 24V, and the Schlage LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader.
