Sargent 8226 LE1A 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Sargent 8226 mortise lock approved for a fire door?
It is UL 10C fire rated up to 3 hours with positive pressure certification, so it can go on a labeled opening up to a 3 hour rating. It is also ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000 Grade 1. Note that a double cylinder deadbolt requires a key to retract from the inside, so confirm your local egress authority permits it on that particular opening.
2) What does store door function mean on the Sargent 8226, and how is it different from a plain storeroom lock?
Store door function means the lock has both a latchbolt and a deadbolt, with a cylinder on each side. Both levers stay fixed and the outside is always locked, so entry is by key; the deadbolt is thrown and retracted by key from either side. A plain storeroom lock gives you the latch only. Pick the 8226 when you want a shop or tenant space you can deadbolt at close of business from either side of the door.
3) Do I have to order the Sargent 8226 handed?
No. The 8226 lock body is field reversible, so one part number covers left and right hand openings and the installer flips it on site. For property managers and distributors that means fewer SKUs to stock across a building.
4) Can I get the Sargent 8226 prepped for our interchangeable cores instead of a standard cylinder?
Yes, cylinder handling is a required choice at order. You can take it with a standard cylinder, less cylinder if you are supplying your own, prepped 70 for small format interchangeable core less core, or prepped 60 for large format interchangeable core less core. If you pick an IC prep or less cylinder, you supply the cores yourself to match your existing system.
5) Can the Sargent 8226 be keyed alike with the rest of our building?
Yes. Keying is a required selection: keyed different, keyed alike, or to a specific key code you enter at order. The 8200 Series works with all Sargent key systems, including Degree, Signature, KESO and XC, so it drops into an existing Sargent masterkey system. If you are keying to an existing code, have the code ready when you order.
6) Will the 8226 latch into the strike already in my frame?
It throws a 3/4 inch latchbolt on a 2-3/4 inch backset, plus a deadbolt, so the frame needs an ANSI mortise strike with both a latch and a deadbolt cutout. If the door currently carries a latch-only mortise lock, the existing strike will not have the deadbolt opening and the frame will need to be prepped or the strike swapped.
7) What is the closest Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock to the Sargent 8226-ET from another manufacturer?
The Accentra 8805FL is the nearest straight equivalent: it is a Grade 1 mortise lock in storeroom function with an Arcadia lever, matching the 8226-ET on grade, mortise format, and storeroom function. The Cal-Royal NM8080 is a second option, a heavy duty Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors with an interchangeable core option. The difference to weigh is the deadbolt: the Sargent 8226-ET is a double cylinder function with a deadbolt in addition to the storeroom latch, so if the opening needs the separate bolt, confirm the peer is specified with one.
8) We want keypad access on this opening instead of keys - what mortise lock replaces the Sargent 8226-ET?
The Sargent 8226-ET is a mechanical, non-electronic lock. For keyed-code access in a mortise body, the Accentra NTM623-NR nexTouch Generation 3 uses a capacitive touchscreen keypad with cylinder override and no deadbolt, and the BEST 45HZ EZ Series is an electronic keypad mortise lock with key override. The Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 is an electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock built for wide stile doors. Note that the 8226-ET's deadbolt does not carry over to the NTM623-NR, which is a no-deadbolt configuration.
9) I need a mortise lock for a classroom door, not a storeroom - what should I order instead of the Sargent 8226-ET?
The Sargent 8226-ET is a storeroom function lock, which keeps the outside lever locked at all times and requires a key for entry, so it is the wrong function for a classroom opening. For classroom function in a Grade 1 mortise, the Cal-Royal NM8070 is a heavy duty Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset also for 1-3/4 inch doors.
10) Can I use a Baldwin 6310 storeroom mortise lock in place of the Sargent 8226-ET?
Only if the backset matches your door prep. The Baldwin 6310 is an entry/storeroom mortise lock body on a 2-1/2 inch backset for doors 1-3/8 inch and over, and the lever-by-lever version is the 6301LS family equivalent. The Sargent 8226-ET is built on a 2-3/4 inch backset for 1-3/4 inch doors. Swapping between the two means a different cross-bore centerline, so the existing mortise pocket and trim prep will not line up without rework.
11) We need access control on a storeroom door - is there an electrified version comparable to the Sargent 8226-ET?
The Command Access ML190 is the closest match by function: a heavy duty motorized mortise lock in storeroom function with field selectable fail safe or fail secure operation on 24VDC. The Schlage L9092EU with 03A trim is another electrified mortise option, heavy duty, keyed outside with request to exit, running 12 or 24VDC in corridor function. The Sargent 8226-ET itself is a mechanical lock, so either of these adds wiring and a power supply to the opening.
12) We want card and mobile credentials on the door - what mortise lock do we use instead of the Sargent 8226-ET?
The Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader, mobile enabled deadbolt with LED, Greenwich trim, right hand, rated for 3 hours fire. The Dormakaba Saffire LX-I-M002 is an electronic RFID mortise lockset with BLE mobile access at BHMA Grade 2, and the E-Plex E5086 is a Grade 1 back to back pushbutton and card entry/egress mortise lock. The Sargent 8226-ET is mechanical and keyed only.
13) What is the difference between the LE1, LS, LW1 and WT escutcheon options on the Sargent 8200?
Those are the four trim plate styles offered on the 8226. Each is a different escutcheon design covering the lock, and you pair it with one of eight lever designs (A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W levers) and your finish. The escutcheon choice is mostly about matching the look of the other openings in the building, so if you already run Sargent 8200 trim elsewhere, order the same escutcheon and lever letter to keep it consistent.
14) How long will a Sargent 8200 mortise lock hold up in a high traffic entrance?
Sargent completed UL's Cycle Above and Beyond test on the 8200 at 16 million cycles (Verification ID V584148). That is a heavy duty, Grade 1 commercial lock intended for high traffic openings like school corridors, retail entrances and multi-tenant buildings, not light residential duty.
15) My doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inch. Can I still use a Grade 1 mortise lock?
Not with the Sargent 8226, which is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors. For thicker stock, the Hager 3800 Series covers a 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inch range, for example the 3810E passage lock with escutcheon on a 2-3/4 inch backset, though that family is non-keyed in passage and office trims. Measure the leaf before you order any mortise body.
16) Can I put a Sargent 8226-ET on an aluminum storefront door?
The Sargent 8226-ET is built for a 1-3/4 inch door with a 2-3/4 inch backset, which is a standard commercial mortise pocket rather than a narrow storefront stile. For aluminum openings, the Alarm Lock DL1300NW Trilogy Networx is a wireless electronic mortise lock with keypad made for Adams Rite deadlatches, and the Kaba Ilco BR Series is a glass door bottom rail lock. Confirm stile width before committing either way.
17) Is the Hager 3850E office mortise lock a substitute for the Sargent 8226-ET?
No. The Hager 3850E is an office function mortise lock with lever and escutcheon on a 2-3/4 inch backset, and it is non-keyed. The Sargent 8226-ET is a keyed storeroom lock with a double cylinder deadbolt. The trim style and backset look similar, but a non-keyed office lock cannot secure an opening that was specified for key-controlled storeroom entry.
18) What is the difference between the Sargent 8226-ET and the BEST 45HCAC mortise lock?
The BEST 45HCAC is a heavy duty mortise lock body in public entrance function with field reversible operation, sold as a lock body. The Sargent 8226-ET is a complete heavy duty storeroom lockset supplied with escutcheon trim and a lever, offered with LE1, LS, LW1, and WT escutcheons and A, B, E, F, J, L, P, and W levers. If you already have trim on the door and only need the body, the BEST unit is the narrower buy; if you are dressing the opening complete, the 8226-ET includes the trim.
19) Does the Sargent 8226-ET work for a restroom or bedroom door?
No, it is a keyed storeroom lock with a double cylinder deadbolt, which is the wrong function for a privacy opening. For privacy in a Grade 1 mortise, the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a heavy duty Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3840S is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock on a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inches thick.
20) Which mortise lock should I use if the door only needs to latch and never lock?
Step down from the Sargent 8226-ET, which is a keyed storeroom lock, to a passage function. The Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock with field reversible operation and a fire rating, the Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage latch mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3810E is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with escutcheon on a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches. The 3810E keeps the escutcheon trim look closest to the 8226-ET.
21) What mortise lock do I use on a behavioral health or ligature resistant opening instead of the Sargent 8226-ET?
The Sargent 8226-ET uses a standard commercial lever, which is not suited to an anti-ligature opening. TownSteel offers the MRX-L-01, a stainless steel Grade 1 heavy duty anti-ligature lever mortise lockset in passage function for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the MRX-A-01 with ligature resistant arch trim in passage function. Marks USA MAR5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset that is ligature resistant and ADA compliant in satin stainless steel. All three are passage function, so plan the keying on that opening separately.
22) I only need a deadbolt on this door, not a latching lockset - what is the alternative to the Sargent 8226-ET?
The Sargent 8226-ET combines a storeroom latch with a double cylinder deadbolt in one heavy duty mortise body. If the opening needs the bolt alone, the Kaba Ilco 185 Series is a deadbolt function mortise lock with no handing, and the Alarm Lock DL4500 is a Grade 1 electronic mortise deadbolt with 2,000 user codes and privacy keypad for doors 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inches thick. Neither provides the latching lever operation the 8226-ET gives you.
23) Is a cylindrical lock an acceptable substitute for the Sargent 8226-ET?
Only if the door is prepped for it. The Sargent 8226-ET is a mortise lock, which needs a routed pocket in the door edge. The Schlage PC10 is a Grade 1 cylindrical lock for 1-3/4 inch doors that mounts through a standard 161 style bore instead. The two preps are not interchangeable in the field without door modification, and the PC10 is a passage function rather than a keyed storeroom.
24) Does the Sargent 8226 come in a black or white painted finish to match storefront?
Yes. Along with the plated finishes it is offered in BSP black suede powder coat and WSP white suede powder coat. The full range also covers bright and satin brass (03, 04), bright and satin bronze (09, 10), the dark oxidized bronzes (10B, 10BE, 10BL), 20D dark statuary bronze, bright and satin nickel (14, 15), bright and satin chrome (26, 26D), and bright and satin stainless (32, 32D).
25) The Emtek Memphis mortise entrance lockset looks like a mortise lock - can it replace the Sargent 8226-ET?
No. The Emtek 3102 Memphis, along with the 3104 Hamilton and 3106 Manhattan, are dummy function mortise entrance locksets. A dummy has no latch and no locking mechanism at all, so it cannot serve a keyed storeroom opening. The Sargent 8226-ET is a keyed heavy duty storeroom lock with a double cylinder deadbolt.
