Sargent 8216 LE1A 10BE – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the 8216 apartment/exit/toilet function actually do at the door?
The Sargent 8216 is a double cylinder mortise lock, so there is a keyed cylinder on both faces of the door. That is what makes it suit apartment entry, stair exit, and public toilet openings where you want key control from each side rather than a free-turning inside lever. Because both sides are keyed, check your local egress code before putting it on a required exit door in an occupied space.
2) Will the Sargent 8216 mortise lock fit a 1-3/4 inch door with a 2-3/4 inch backset?
That is exactly the prep it is built for: 2-3/4 inch backset and 1-3/4 inch door thickness. Thicker doors are outside what the 8216 is stated for, so if you are working on a 2 inch or heavier door, spec accordingly.
3) Do I need to order the 8216 handed, or can I reverse it on site?
Handing is field reversible on the 8216 lock body, so one lock covers left and right hand openings without a return trip. Latchbolt throw is 3/4 inch, which is what you want against a standard ANSI strike prep.
4) Can I use this mortise lock on a fire rated apartment corridor door?
Yes. The 8216 is UL 10C fire rated up to 3 hours and NFPA 80 compliant, which covers most apartment corridor and stair door assemblies. It is also ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000 Operational Grade 1.
5) What do I have to specify when ordering the Sargent 8216 mortise lock?
Four choices decide the part. Escutcheon trim: LE1, LS, LW1 or WT. Lever design: A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W. Finish: 16 options from 03 bright brass through 32D satin stainless, plus BSP black and WSP white suede powder coat. Then cylinder and keying: standard cylinder, less cylinder, 70 small format interchangeable core prep less core, or 60 large format IC prep less core, with keyed different, keyed alike, or a supplied key code.
6) Can I key this lock into the master key system already running in my building?
If the building is on Sargent, yes. The 8200 Series works with all Sargent key systems, including Degree, Signature, KESO and XC. If you are keying to an existing non-Sargent system, order the 70 small format or 60 large format interchangeable core prep less core and drop in the core your system already uses.
7) What is a comparable Grade 1 mortise lock if the opening needs a classroom function instead of apartment/exit/toilet?
The Sargent 8216-ET is built for an apartment, exit, or public toilet opening, so it is the wrong function for a classroom door. For classroom function in a Grade 1 mortise, 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 heavy duty Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch, also for 1-3/4 inch doors.
8) Which mortise lock should I use for a storeroom door instead of the Sargent 8216-ET?
The 8216-ET is keyed double cylinder with apartment/exit/toilet function, which leaves the opening operable from the inside rather than always-locked outside. For storeroom function, the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series with an Arcadia lever, and the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a heavy duty Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset offered with an interchangeable core option.
9) What is the electronic equivalent if I want keypad or credential access instead of the mechanical Sargent 8216-ET?
The Sargent 8216-ET is a mechanical, non-electronic mortise lock. If the opening needs credential or code access, the Accentra NTM623-NR nexTouch Generation 3 mortise lock uses a capacitive touchscreen keypad with cylinder override and no deadbolt, the Alarm Lock DL3500CR is a Grade 1 electronic mortise lock holding 300 user codes in classroom function for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with RFID for 1-3/4 inch doors.
10) Are the Baldwin 6301 apartment mortise locks a drop-in substitute for the Sargent 8216-ET?
They are not interchangeable in the same prep. The Sargent 8216-ET uses a 2-3/4 inch backset in a 1-3/4 inch door, while the Baldwin 6301 entry/apartment mortise lock body is 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 backset difference means the door and frame prep are not the same, so confirm the existing mortise cutout before swapping.
11) I need an electrified mortise lock for access control. What replaces the Sargent 8216-ET on that opening?
The 8216-ET is a mechanical lock with no electrical option. For electrified mortise bodies, the Command Access ML190 is a heavy-duty motorized mortise lock in storeroom function with field selectable EL/EU operation on 24VDC, the Schlage L9092EU with 03A trim is a heavy duty electric lock/unlock outside lever corridor mortise lock with request to exit at 12/24VDC for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the BEST 45HW is a heavy duty wired electromechanical mortise lock running 12V or 24V.
12) Is a mortise lock like this worth it over a cylindrical lockset for a high traffic apartment entry?
For an entry that gets cycled all day, the 8216 mortise body was tested to 16 million cycles under UL's Cycle Above and Beyond program (Verification ID V584148), well past what a bored lock is built for. The trade-off is prep: a mortise pocket has to be routed into the door edge. If the door is already bored for a cylindrical lock and you do not want to re-prep, a Grade 1 cylindrical such as the Schlage PC Series is the simpler path, though that one is a non-keyed passage function.
13) I need the same 8200 body but with a classroom or storeroom function instead. What are my options?
The 8200 mortise body is offered in 56 different functions, so the same lock case and prep covers classroom, storeroom and the rest, you just change the function number from 8216. If you are not tied to Sargent, Grade 1 mortise equivalents include the Corbin Russwin ML2003 classroom, the Cal-Royal NM8080 storeroom and NM8070 classroom, and the Accentra 8805FL storeroom, all cataloged for 1-3/4 inch doors except the Accentra, where thickness is a Grade 1 storeroom body only.
14) Does the 8216-ET come with escutcheon trim or do I order the plates separately?
Trim is part of the order. The ET configuration is escutcheon trim rather than sectional roses, and you pick the escutcheon (LE1, LS, LW1 or WT) along with the lever design and finish, so the plates arrive matched to the lock. Cylinders are the separate decision: the less cylinder and interchangeable core prep options ship without a core.
15) Will the 8216 strike work with my existing frame prep?
The 8216 ships with a curved lip strike, which is the usual choice where the frame stop and door face leave the latch a slight reach. With a 3/4 inch latchbolt throw against a standard ANSI 4-7/8 inch frame prep, it lines up; if your frame carries a flat lip or a different strike box, plan on swapping the strike or patching the prep.
16) Can I standardize the whole building on this lock across office, retail and residential doors?
That is the case for the 8200 Series. One heavy duty Grade 1 commercial mortise body, one 2-3/4 inch backset and 1-3/4 inch door prep, and 56 functions off the same case, so a facility can run the same routing, the same key system and the same lever and finish from apartment corridors through offices and toilet rooms. Pick your lever and finish once and every opening matches.
17) What is a simpler non-keyed alternative to the Sargent 8216-ET for a door that does not need a cylinder?
The 8216-ET is a keyed double cylinder lock, so a cylinder is part of every configuration. If the opening only needs latching with free operation from both sides, the Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage latch mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock with field reversible operation and a fire rating, and the Hager 3810E is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with escutcheon trim and a 2-3/4 inch backset.
18) What is a comparable Grade 1 mortise lock for an office or entrance door rather than apartment/exit function?
For office and entrance openings, the Cal-Royal NM8050 is a heavy duty Grade 1 office/entrance mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3850E is a Grade 1 office mortise lock with lever and escutcheon, non-keyed, on a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches thick. The Sargent 8216-ET matches the 2-3/4 inch backset but is keyed double cylinder in apartment/exit/toilet function.
19) Is the Schlage L0170 dummy trim an alternative to the Sargent 8216-ET?
No. The Schlage L0170 is Grade 1 half dummy trim, a non-keyed lever with no latching mechanism, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Sargent 8216-ET is a keyed double cylinder mortise lock with a 3/4 inch latchbolt throw. Dummy trim is for an inactive leaf or pull-only door; it will not secure or latch an apartment, exit, or toilet opening.
20) What mortise lock should I specify for a behavioral health or anti-ligature opening instead of the Sargent 8216-ET?
The Sargent 8216-ET uses conventional lever trim in A, B, E, F, J, L, P, and W lever styles. For ligature-resistant openings, the TownSteel MRX-L-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty stainless steel anti-ligature lever mortise lockset in passage function for 1-3/4 inch doors, the MRX-A-01 offers the same passage function with arch trim, and the Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 ligature-resistant, ADA compliant hospital passage push/pull paddleset in satin stainless steel.
21) Can I use a cylindrical lock in place of the Sargent 8216-ET mortise lock?
Only if the door is prepped for one. The Sargent 8216-ET is a mortise lock requiring a routed mortise cavity in 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, uses bored holes instead. The two preps are not interchangeable, and the PC10 is also passage rather than keyed.
22) What is the closest BEST mortise lock body to the Sargent 8216-ET for a public entrance opening?
The BEST 45H is a heavy duty mortise lock body in public entrance function with field reversible operation, which is the nearest fit among BEST bodies to the multi-use traffic the Sargent 8216-ET serves. The Sargent 8216-ET is Grade 1 heavy duty with field reversible handing and a 2-3/4 inch backset, and it ships as a complete lock with escutcheon trim in LE1, LS, LW1, or WT, where the 45H is offered as a lock body.
23) Will a Marks USA 21AC or 22AC ornamental iron mortise lock work where the Sargent 8216-ET is specified?
Not on a standard commercial door. The Marks USA 21AC and 22AC are entrance double cylinder ornamental iron mortise locks with a round knob built for 1 inch thick doors, while the Sargent 8216-ET is sized for 1-3/4 inch doors. They share the double cylinder keying approach but not the door thickness or the lever trim.
24) Is there an electronic version if I later want credential access on these doors?
The 8216-ET itself is mechanical, not electronic. For keypad access on the same mortise footprint, Sargent offers the KP8200 keypad mortise lock. Cross-brand electronic mortise options we carry include the BEST 45HZ EZ Series keypad lock with key override, the Alarm Lock DL3500CR Trilogy Grade 1, and the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 pushbutton lock.
25) Is there an installation template for the mortise prep?
Yes. Sargent publishes a 7800/8200 Series mortise lock template covering all sectional rose trims and escutcheon trims, so the door edge pocket, cross bores and trim holes can be marked before you rout. The 7800/8200 mortise lock catalog carries the full dimensional data.
