Sargent 8265 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sargent 8265 privacy mortise lock body fit a 1-3/4 inch door with a 2-3/4 inch backset prep?
That is exactly the prep the 8265 body is cut for: 2-3/4 inch backset and 1-3/4 inch door thickness. Latchbolt throw is 3/4 inch, so it picks up a standard ANSI mortise strike prep. If your existing openings are cut to a 2-3/8 inch backset, this body will not drop in; a 2-3/8 backset is a bored-lock dimension, not a commercial mortise one.
2) Does the Sargent 8265 lock body handle both left and right hand doors, or do I have to order handed?
Handing is set in the field on the 8265. The body is field-reversible, so one part number covers left and right hand openings. For a property manager stocking spares across a building, that means one body on the shelf instead of two.
3) What do I get with a Sargent 8265-BODY, and what else do I need to order to finish the door?
You are buying the mortise lock case alone, in 26D satin chrome. The lever or knob trim, roses or escutcheons, and the spindle are separate. Use the Sargent 7800/8200 mortise lock installation template to lay out the pocket and the trim holes before you cut the door, since the sectional rose and escutcheon trims share that same template.
4) Is the Sargent 8265 privacy function right for a patient room or dorm door, or should I use a classroom or storeroom lock?
Privacy is the right pick when the occupant needs to lock the door from inside and nobody outside carries a key for it as a matter of routine, which is what patient rooms, dorm rooms, guest rooms and single-occupancy toilets need. If you need staff to key the door from the corridor, privacy is the wrong function: go to a classroom body such as the Corbin Russwin ML2003 or the Cal-Royal NM8070, or a storeroom body such as the Cal-Royal NM8080 or Accentra 8805FL. The 8265 is non-keyed.
5) Is the Sargent 8265 mortise lock rated for a fire door?
Yes. The 8265 is UL 10C positive pressure certified with up to a 3 hour fire rating, and it carries ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000 Operational Grade 1. That combination is what a facility spec normally calls for on a rated corridor or stair-adjacent opening.
6) I have a privacy mortise lock that needs a deadbolt as well. Does the Sargent 8265 have one?
The 8265 is a privacy body without a deadbolt. If the opening calls for a privacy function with a deadbolt, the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with a deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Hager 3840S is another Grade 1 privacy mortise option, cut for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors with a 2-3/4 inch backset.
7) My doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inches. Can I still use the Sargent 8265 mortise body?
No. The 8265 is specified at 1-3/4 inch door thickness. For thicker leaves, the Hager 3800 Series covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches (the 3810E passage and 3850E office bodies) and the Baldwin 6301 mortise body is listed for 1-3/4 inches and over, though that one is an entrance/apartment function rather than privacy.
8) What is the closest equivalent to a Sargent 8265 privacy mortise lock body from another manufacturer?
The Cal-Royal NM8440 is the nearest match. It is a heavy duty Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with a deadbolt, built for a 1-3/4 inch door, and carries the same Privacy/Bed/Bath function as the Sargent 8265. The Hager 3840S is a second option, a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inches thick, which matches the Sargent 8265 backset. All three are mechanical privacy locks with no keying, so a bath, patient room, or dorm door specified for the 8265 can be met by either.
9) The door does not need to lock at all - what should be used instead of a privacy mortise lock body?
For a hall, closet, or corridor door that only needs a latch, a passage mortise lock is the right part. 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 fire rated mortise passage lock with field reversible operation, and the Hager 3810S is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with a rose and a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Sargent 8265 carries a Privacy/Bedroom/Bath function, meaning it has an inside locking mechanism those passage bodies do not.
10) What privacy mortise lock works for a behavioral health or anti-ligature opening?
The TownSteel MRX-L-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty stainless steel anti-ligature lever mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the MRX-A-01 is the same series in a satin stainless ligature resistant arch trim. Both are passage function rather than privacy. For a push/pull opening, the Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise paddleset, ligature resistant and ADA compliant. The Sargent 8265 is a privacy function body with standard lever trim, so where a ligature resistant trim profile is specified, the TownSteel or Marks bodies are the ones that meet it.
11) The opening needs to be keyed, not privacy - what mortise lock body replaces the 8265?
Match the function to the opening. For a storeroom door, the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock with an Arcadia lever and the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option for 1-3/4 inch doors. For a classroom, the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors and the Cal-Royal NM8070 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise with auxiliary deadlatch. For an office or entrance, the Cal-Royal NM8050 is a Grade 1 office/entrance mortise lockset. The Sargent 8265 is non-keyed, so none of the keyed functions can be reached by changing trim on it.
12) The doors are 1-5/8 inch, not 1-3/4 inch - what mortise lock fits?
The Sargent 8265 body is built for 1-3/4 inch door thickness. Where the leaf is thinner, the Alarm Lock Trilogy series covers 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch: the DL2700CR is a Grade 1 classroom function electronic mortise lock with weatherproof design, the DL3500CR is a Grade 1 classroom electronic mortise with 300 user codes, and the DL4500DB is a Grade 1 electronic mortise deadbolt with 2,000 user codes and a privacy keypad. For a privacy application on a thinner door, the DL4500DB is the function to look at.
13) How many cycles is the Sargent 8265 mortise lock tested to, and will it hold up in a high-traffic building?
UL tested to 16 million cycles, under verification ID V584148, and classed heavy duty for commercial service. On a dorm or hotel guest room that gets hit dozens of times a day, that is the durability number to put in front of a spec reviewer.
14) Can I put the Sargent 8265 privacy body on a Sargent keyway I already use in the building?
The 8200 Series bodies work with all Sargent key systems, including Degree, Signature, KESO and XC, so the series stays inside one keying program across a facility. Note the 8265 itself is the non-keyed privacy function, so keying applies to the keyed 8200 bodies you standardize alongside it, not to this one.
15) Can I swap a Sargent 8265 body into an existing Sargent 8200 door without recutting the mortise pocket?
Within the 7800 and 8200 Series the pocket and trim layout are covered by a single Sargent installation template, so an 8200 body going back into an 8200-prepped door at 2-3/4 inch backset and 1-3/4 inch thickness reuses the existing cut. Coming from another manufacturer's mortise pocket is a different question and depends on that lock's case dimensions, so verify against the template before you commit the door.
16) What electrified mortise lock pairs with an access control system where the Sargent 8265 does not?
The 8265 body is non-electronic. For an access controlled opening, the BEST 45HW is a heavy duty wired electromechanical mortise lock running 12V or 24V, the Command Access ML190 is a heavy duty motorized storeroom mortise lock with field selectable fail safe or fail secure operation on 24VDC, and the Schlage L9092EU with 03A trim is a heavy duty electric lock/unlock outside lever mortise lock, keyed outside, with request to exit, at 12/24VDC for 1-3/4 inch doors. All three take a power transfer and a controller that a mechanical privacy body does not.
17) Is an electronic privacy mortise lock available instead of a mechanical one?
Yes. The Schlage CO-100-MS-40-KP is a standalone electronic mortise lock in privacy function with a keypad reader, Grade 1 heavy duty, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Schlage Electronics LEBMB-ADD is a mobile enabled mortise lock with push button and LED covering privacy, office, and apartment functions, Grade 2 with a 3 hour fire rating. The Sargent 8265 body is mechanical and non-electronic, so credential management and audit trail come from the CO-100 or LE units rather than the 8265.
18) Will a dummy mortise lockset work in place of a privacy mortise lock body?
No. Dummy sets have no latch and no locking mechanism - they are trim only. The Schlage L0170 is a Grade 1 half dummy trim for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Emtek 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton, 3106 Manhattan, and 3019 Brisbane are dummy mortise entrance locksets. The Sargent 8265 is a privacy function body with a 3/4 inch latchbolt throw that secures the door and releases from inside, which a dummy set cannot do. Dummies belong on the inactive leaf of a pair or on a door that stays closed by magnet or ball catch.
19) What is the difference between the Sargent 8265 privacy body and a mortise deadbolt?
A mortise deadbolt throws a bolt only and has no latch or lever operation. The Kaba Ilco 185 Series is a deadbolt function mortise lock supplied with no handing, and the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset that pairs a deadbolt with the privacy function on a 1-3/4 inch door. The Sargent 8265 is a privacy body with a 3/4 inch latchbolt throw and lever operation, so on a bath or patient room door it both latches the door closed and locks it, where a bare deadbolt would need a separate latch or pull.
20) What finish does the Sargent 8265 lock body come in?
26D, satin chromium plated over nickel. On a lock body that is largely buried in the door pocket it matters mainly at the faceplate, so match your trim finish to it when you order levers and roses.
