Sargent 8229 LE1A 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Sargent 8229 dummy trim deadlock function actually do on the door?
The 8229 is a deadlock function with dummy trim: the levers are non-operational, and the door is locked and unlocked only by key from either side. It is a double cylinder setup, so you need a cylinder on both faces. Use it where you want the look of a lever set on both sides but no latch retraction from the handles, just keyed deadbolt control.
2) Will the Sargent 8229-ET fit a 1-3/4 inch commercial door?
Yes. The 8229-ET is built for standard 1-3/4 inch door thickness with a 2-3/4 inch backset, which is the normal commercial mortise prep. If your doors are thicker than 1-3/4 or prepped on a 2-3/8 inch backset, this is not the part.
3) Do I have to order the 8229-ET handed for a left or right hand door?
No handing to specify. The 8229-ET is non-handed and field reversible, so one part covers left and right hand openings and you set it at the door with no extra kit.
4) What do I have to specify when ordering the Sargent 8229-ET?
Four choices. Escutcheon style (LE1, LS, LW1 or WT), lever design (A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W), finish, and the cylinder and keying. On cylinders you pick standard cylinder, less cylinder, 70 prep for small format interchangeable core less core, or 60 prep for large format interchangeable core less core. Keying is keyed different, keyed alike, or to a specific key code; if you select less cylinder, choose None for keying.
5) Can I key the Sargent 8229-ET into my existing building master key system?
It works with all SARGENT key systems, including Degree, Signature, KESO and XC. If your facility is on a Sargent system already, order it keyed alike or to your key code. If you have your own keying house or use interchangeable cores, order it with 70 prep (small format IC) or 60 prep (large format IC) less core and drop your own cores in.
6) Is the Sargent 8229-ET approved for a fire rated opening?
Yes. The 8229-ET carries UL 10C fire rating up to 3 hours with positive pressure, and is NFPA 80 compliant. It is also ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000 Operational Grade 1 and ADA compliant, with UL cycle testing completed at 16 million cycles.
7) I just need a dead dummy lever on one side, no key. Is the Sargent 8229-ET the right choice?
No. The 8229-ET is a keyed double cylinder deadlock, so it is doing real locking work even though the levers are fixed. For a plain non-keyed dummy lever with no lock function, look at the Schlage L0170 half dummy trim, a Grade 1 non-keyed mortise dummy for 1-3/4 inch doors. If the dummy trim is going on an exit device rather than a mortise lock, the Falcon MESC600DT dummy escutcheon lever trim suits the M9900 series.
8) Is the Sargent 8229-ET escutcheon a straight swap onto an existing Sargent 8200 mortise prep?
It is made to go with Sargent 8200 Series mortise locks and uses the standard 7800/8200 trim prep, so if your openings are already 8200 Series with escutcheon trim at a 2-3/4 inch backset on 1-3/4 inch doors, it lines up. Sargent publishes the 7800 and 8200 mortise lock template covering all sectional rose and escutcheon trims, plus the 7800/8200 mortise lock catalog, and those are what to check your existing cut-out against before you order.
9) Does the double cylinder deadlock function create an egress problem on my opening?
It can. Double cylinder means key operation on both faces and no thumbturn or lever release, so nobody exits without a key. That rules it out on required egress doors under most occupancies. Use it on stockrooms, mechanical rooms, vaults, storefront back doors and similar openings that are not part of an egress path, and confirm with your AHJ for the occupancy.
10) What is the closest equivalent to the Sargent 8229-ET dummy mortise trim from another Grade 1 commercial line?
The Schlage L0170 is the nearest peer. It is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise dummy trim in the L Series for 1-3/4 inch doors, non-keyed, with a lever. The Sargent 8229-ET differs in that it is the dummy trim deadlock function with a double cylinder keyed arrangement, so it carries cylinders where the L0170 does not. If the opening needs only a non-operating lever with no key, the L0170 covers it; if the opening needs key-operated deadlocking behind a dummy lever, stay with the 8229-ET.
11) I only need a non-operating lever on an inactive leaf, no cylinders. What is a simpler option than the Sargent 8229-ET?
The Schlage L0170 half dummy trim is the simpler route: Grade 1, non-keyed, heavy duty, for 1-3/4 inch doors. For residential-style openings, Emtek offers dummy mortise entrance locksets in several trim designs, including the 3019 Brisbane, 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton and 3106 Manhattan. The Sargent 8229-ET is a commercial Grade 1 assembly with a double cylinder keyed function, which is more hardware than an inactive leaf usually requires.
12) The door actually needs to latch and lock. What should I order instead of the Sargent 8229-ET?
The 8229-ET is a dummy trim deadlock function, so it does not provide a working latch. For a keyed operating mortise lock, look at the Accentra 8805FL Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series, the Cal-Royal NM8080 Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors, or the Corbin Russwin ML2003 Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors. Choose by function: storeroom keeps the outside lever always locked, classroom lets a key lock and unlock the outside lever.
13) For a behavioral health or anti-ligature opening, is the Sargent 8229-ET appropriate or is there a better choice?
The 8229-ET uses a lever trim in 8200 Series escutcheon styles, which is not a ligature-resistant profile. For those openings, the TownSteel MRX-A-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty ligature resistant arch trim mortise lockset in passage function for 1-3/4 inch doors, the MRX-L-01 is the anti-ligature lever version, and the Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset that is ligature resistant and ADA compliant in satin stainless steel.
14) What finishes does the Sargent 8229 escutcheon trim come in to match the rest of my doors?
Sixteen: 03 bright brass, 04 satin brass, 09 bright bronze, 10 satin bronze, 10B oil rubbed dark oxidized satin bronze, 10BE, 10BL, 14 bright nickel, 15 satin nickel, 20D dark statuary bronze, 26 bright chrome, 26D satin chrome, 32 bright stainless, 32D satin stainless, BSP black suede powder coat and WSP white suede powder coat. 26D and 32D are the usual choices for matching existing commercial openings.
15) Is the Sargent 8229-ET an electronic or access control lock?
No, it is purely mechanical, key operated only, with no wiring, power or credential reader. If you need electrified control on a mortise opening, the BEST 45HW wired electromechanical mortise lock runs 12V or 24V, and the Command Access ML190 motorized mortise lock is field selectable fail safe or fail secure on 24VDC. For standalone keypad, the Alarm Lock DL3500CR Grade 1 classroom lock holds 300 user codes.
16) Is the Falcon MESC600DT dummy escutcheon trim a substitute for the Sargent 8229-ET?
No. The MESC600DT is a dummy escutcheon lever trim built for Falcon M9900 Series exit devices, so it mounts to an exit device rather than serving as mortise lock trim. The Sargent 8229-ET is 8200 Series mortise trim with a double cylinder keyed arrangement. They share the dummy description but are not interchangeable on the same door prep.
17) What is the difference between the Sargent 8229-ET and a passage mortise lock like the Schlage PM010 or Falcon MA101?
A passage lock has a working latch that retracts with the lever but never locks. The Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 passage latch mortise lock, non-keyed, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty fire-rated mortise passage lock with field reversible operation. The Sargent 8229-ET is a dummy trim deadlock function with a double cylinder keyed arrangement and a rigid, non-operating lever. Pick passage when the door must swing open by lever; pick the 8229-ET when the trim is decorative and the deadlock is keyed.
18) We want a key-free electronic option on the same mortise prep instead of the Sargent 8229-ET. What are the choices?
For keypad or credential access on a mortise prep, the Alarm Lock DL3500CR is a Grade 1 Trilogy electronic mortise lock with classroom function for doors 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch, the Schlage CO-100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty standalone electronic mortise lock with keypad reader for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lockset with RFID for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Sargent 8229-ET is a non-electronic mechanical dummy trim, so none of these are drop-in swaps for it; they are the alternative when the access method is changing.
19) Our doors are thinner than 1-3/4 inch. Can we still use the Sargent 8229-ET?
The 8229-ET is built for 1-3/4 inch commercial doors. For thinner openings, the Baldwin 6310 entry/storeroom mortise lock body is listed for 1-3/8 inch and over on a 2-1/2 inch backset, and the Marks USA 21AC and 22AC entrance double cylinder ornamental iron mortise locks are listed for 1 inch doors, which suits narrow ornamental iron and storefront style stiles.
20) Is the Sargent 8229-ET the same thing as a mortise deadbolt like the Kaba Ilco 185 or Alarm Lock DL4500?
No. The Kaba Ilco 185 Series is a deadbolt function mortise lock with no handing, and the Alarm Lock DL4500DB is a Grade 1 electronic mortise deadbolt with a privacy keypad for doors 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch. The Sargent 8229-ET is escutcheon trim for the dummy trim deadlock function with a double cylinder arrangement, meaning it is the trim side of an 8200 Series assembly rather than a standalone deadbolt unit.
21) I want escutcheon trim rather than a rose. Which mortise locks besides the Sargent 8229-ET come with an escutcheon?
The 8229-ET is escutcheon trim and is offered in LE1, LS, LW1 and WT escutcheon styles. Among peers, 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 2-3/4 inch backset. Hager also offers the 3810S with a rose instead if the trim preference changes.
22) We standardize on interchangeable core. How does the Sargent 8229-ET compare to BEST or Cal-Royal for that?
The 8229-ET can be ordered with small format interchangeable core prep less core or large format interchangeable core prep less core, alongside standard cylinder and less cylinder options, and it works with SARGENT Degree, Signature, KESO and XC key systems. The Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset offered with an interchangeable core option for 1-3/4 inch doors. BEST's 45H Series heavy duty mortise lock body in public entrance function and the 45HCA intruder function lock body are the lock body side of that same standardization if you are replacing the chassis rather than the trim.
23) Will the Sargent 8229-ET hold up in a high traffic building like a school or hospital?
It is rated heavy duty and commercial, Grade 1, with UL Above and Beyond cycle testing completed at 16 million cycles (verification ID V584148). That is the level specified for schools, healthcare, government buildings and multi-tenant residential corridors.
