Sargent 60-8270-24V-LNA-26D-RH – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What happens to the Sargent 8270 mortise lock when power is lost?
It unlocks. The 8270 is the fail-safe function in the Sargent 8200 electromechanical line, so cutting power releases the outside lever and the door can be opened from either side. That is what you want on a stair tower or an egress-critical opening tied to a fire alarm. If you need the opposite behavior, where the door stays locked when power drops, a fail-safe lock is the wrong choice and you want a fail-secure (electrically locked) function instead.
2) Will the Sargent 8200 electromechanical mortise lock fit a 1-3/4 inch door with a 2-3/4 inch backset?
Yes, that's exactly what it's built for: 2-3/4 inch backset and 1-3/4 inch door thickness, with a 3/4 inch latchbolt throw. The 3/4 inch throw matches a standard ANSI mortise strike, so it drops into a properly prepped commercial frame. Thicker doors than 1-3/4 inches are outside what this lock is specified for.
3) Do I have to order the Sargent 8270 handed, or can I flip it in the field?
Handing is field reversible on the lock body, so you can correct it on site. You still pick LH or RH when ordering because the trim is supplied for a hand. Both left hand and right hand are offered in each rose and voltage combination.
4) What voltage power supply do I need for this Sargent electromechanical mortise lock?
It runs on 12 to 24VDC, and you order it as either a 12V or a 24V unit. EcoFlex power management cuts current draw by up to 96 percent, which matters when you are running several locks off one supply or through a wireless access control panel with a limited current budget.
5) Does the Sargent 8270 mortise lock come with a cylinder?
No. It ships prepped for a large format interchangeable core, less core, so you supply the LFIC to match your system. That is usually what a facility wants, since you can key it into an existing Sargent system without rekeying. Sargent lists it as compatible with all their key systems including Degree, Signature, KESO and XC. Keying is a required selection when you order: keyed different, keyed alike, to a key code, or none if you are supplying your own cylinder.
6) Is this Sargent mortise lock rated for a fire door?
Yes. The 8200 Series electromechanical mortise lock is UL 10C positive pressure certified with a 3-hour fire rating, so it can go on a 3-hour rated opening. Bear in mind that it is a fail-safe function, meaning it releases on power loss, so the electrical release has to be coordinated with your fire alarm and life safety sequence for the opening.
7) What is a comparable wired 12/24V electrified mortise lock from another brand?
Two close equivalents: the BEST 45HW Series wired electromechanical mortise lock, also heavy duty and 12V/24V, and the Schlage L9092EU with 03A lever, a heavy duty 12/24VDC mortise lock with request-to-exit for 1-3/4 inch doors. Note that the Schlage EU is electrically unlocked, so its power-loss behavior is the reverse of the fail-safe 8270. Command Access also offers the ML190 Series motorized mortise lock at 24VDC with field selectable EL/EU operation if you want to decide fail-safe versus fail-secure on site.
8) If I do not need access control wiring, what mechanical mortise lock can replace the Sargent 60-8270?
A hardwired lock only makes sense where there is a power supply and a credential system. For a straight mechanical opening, the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors with an interchangeable core option, and the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock with the Arcadia lever. The Corbin Russwin ML2003 covers classroom function at Grade 1 on 1-3/4 inch doors. All are keyed mechanical locks with no voltage requirement, unlike the 12 to 24VDC Sargent 60-8270.
9) What is the closest wired electrified mortise lock to the Sargent 60-8270 if I need another brand?
The BEST 45HW Series is the nearest equivalent: a wired electromechanical mortise lock with 12V/24V operation and heavy duty construction, matching the Sargent 60-8270's 12 to 24VDC electromechanical operation and heavy duty rating. The Schlage L9092EU with the 03A lever is another wired option, an electric lock/unlock outside lever mortise lock with keyed outside and request-to-exit, rated 12/24VDC for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Sargent is a fail-safe function, so confirm the peer is ordered fail-safe rather than fail-secure before swapping.
10) Can I use a standalone keypad mortise lock instead of running wire for the Sargent 60-8270?
Yes, if the opening does not need to be on a panel. The Alarm Lock DL3500CR is a Grade 1 electronic mortise lock with 300 user codes in classroom function for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the BEST 45HZ EZ Series is an electronic keypad mortise lock with key override. The Schlage CO-100 is a standalone electronic mortise lock with a keypad reader, Grade 1 heavy duty, privacy function, for 1-3/4 inch doors. These operate on battery power at the door, where the Sargent 60-8270 draws 12 to 24VDC from a building supply and holds its fail-safe state from that circuit.
11) What credential-reading mortise lock should I specify if the Sargent 60-8270 has no reader?
The Sargent 60-8270 is the electrified lock body only and takes its unlock signal from a separate reader and panel. If you want the credential at the lock, the Schlage LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and 3 hour fire rating, the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with RFID for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Accentra NTM623-NR nexTouch Generation 3 mortise lock uses a capacitive touchscreen keypad with cylinder override.
12) My doors are 1-5/8 inch - is the Sargent 60-8270 still the right lock?
The Sargent 8200 electromechanical mortise lock is built for 1-3/4 inch door thickness. For thinner doors, the Alarm Lock Trilogy line covers 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch: the DL2700CR is a Grade 1 classroom electronic mortise lock with a weatherproof design, the DL3500CR is Grade 1 classroom with 300 user codes, and the DL4500DB is a Grade 1 electronic mortise deadbolt with 2,000 user codes and a privacy keypad.
13) Should I pick the LN rose or the WT escutcheon for the Sargent 8200 lock?
LN is a 2 inch round sectional rose, which is the usual choice on a wood or hollow metal door where you want a compact trim and a separate cylinder. The WT escutcheon is a 2-1/2 by 7-3/8 inch plate, which covers a larger area of the door face, so it is the one to specify if you are replacing an older escutcheon lock and need to hide existing prep or scarring. Both come in satin chrome (26D) with the A lever, in either voltage and either hand.
14) Is the Sargent 8200 durable enough for a high traffic entrance in a school or hospital?
It is a Grade 1 heavy duty commercial mortise lock UL tested to 16 million cycles, which is well beyond what Grade 1 requires and is why it turns up on main entrances, corridors and healthcare openings. For standardizing a facility, the same 8200 body takes the full range of Sargent key systems, so you can put it on the high traffic doors and keep everything on one keyway.
15) What is the difference between this wired Sargent 8200 electromechanical lock and a battery keypad mortise lock?
The 8270 is a hard-wired lock: it needs 12 to 24VDC run to the door through a power transfer hinge or loop, and it is controlled by an access control system rather than by codes at the door. If you do not have power at the opening, a standalone keypad mortise lock makes more sense, for example the Alarm Lock DL3500CR Trilogy, a Grade 1 electronic mortise lock with 300 user codes in classroom function, or the BEST 45HZ EZ Series keypad mortise lock with key override. The tradeoff is that standalone locks are managed at the door, not from a head end.
16) Is the Schlage LEBMB-ADD a substitute for the Sargent 60-8270?
Not on a Grade 1 spec. The Schlage LEBMB-ADD is a Grade 2 mobile-enabled mortise lock with push button and LED, carrying a 3 hour fire rating for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Sargent 60-8270 is Grade 1. If the drawing calls Grade 1 electrified mortise, look instead at the Schlage LEMD-GRW, which is Grade 1 with the same 3 hour fire rating.
17) The BEST 45H lock body looks similar - what is the difference from the Sargent 60-8270?
The BEST 45HCAC is a mechanical heavy duty mortise lock body in public entrance function with field reversible operation, and the 45HCAINL is a heavy duty lockbody with intruder function. Neither takes power. The Sargent 60-8270 is an electromechanical fail-safe lock running 12 to 24VDC. Within the BEST line, the 45HW Series is the wired electromechanical version with 12V/24V operation.
18) What electrified mortise option works for a card-and-keypad opening on an aluminum stile door rather than the Sargent 60-8270?
The Sargent 60-8270 uses a 2-3/4 inch backset mortise body sized for 1-3/4 inch doors. For narrow or aluminum stile work, the Dormakaba E-Plex E2066 Series electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock is listed for wide stile, and the Alarm Lock DL1300NW Trilogy Networx wireless electronic mortise lock with keypad is built for Adams Rite deadlatches. The Dormakaba E5086 adds pushbutton and card in a back-to-back Grade 1 mortise configuration.
19) Does the Dormakaba Saffire LX-I-M002 meet the same spec as the Sargent 60-8270?
Not on grade. The Dormakaba LX-I-M002 Saffire is an electronic RFID mortise lockset with BLE mobile access rated BHMA Grade 2. The Sargent 60-8270 is Grade 1. For a Grade 1 RFID mortise lockset, the TownSteel FME-2000 and FME-4000 are both Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise locksets with RFID for 1-3/4 inch doors, the FME-4000 adding electronic intruder classroom function.
20) Which mortise lock should I use on the non-access-controlled doors in the same job as the Sargent 60-8270?
Openings that only need latching or privacy do not need the electrified body. The Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty fire-rated mortise passage lock with field reversible operation, the Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 passage latch mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3840S is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors - the same 2-3/4 inch backset the Sargent 8200 uses.
21) For a behavioral health or ligature-resistant opening, what replaces the Sargent 60-8270?
The TownSteel MRX-L-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty anti-ligature lever mortise lockset in stainless steel for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the MRX-A-01 is the same Grade 1 heavy duty passage function with satin stainless ligature resistant arch trim. The Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset, ligature resistant and ADA compliant. The Sargent 60-8270 uses a standard A lever with LN rose or WT escutcheon trim, which is not a ligature-resistant profile.
22) Are the Emtek and Baldwin mortise locks alternatives to the Sargent 60-8270?
No. The Emtek 3019 Brisbane, 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton and 3106 Manhattan mortise entrance locksets are dummy function, meaning no latch operation at all. The Baldwin 6301LS entrance/apartment and 6310190RRLS entrance/storeroom mortise locks use a 2-1/2 inch backset. The Sargent 8200 electromechanical lock uses a 2-3/4 inch backset with a 3/4 inch latchbolt throw, so the Baldwin bodies will not drop into the same mortise pocket prep.
23) Is there an installation template for prepping the door for the Sargent 8200 mortise lock?
Yes. Sargent publishes a 7800 and 8200 Series mortise lock installation template that covers all sectional rose trims and escutcheon trims, so it works for both the LN rose and the WT escutcheon versions. There is also the full 7800/8200 mortise lock catalog for lock body and trim dimensions before you cut the pocket.
24) What finish and lever does the Sargent 8270 electromechanical mortise lock come in?
Satin chromium plated over nickel (26D) with the A lever, a straight return lever. 26D is the standard commercial satin chrome finish, so it matches most existing brushed chrome hinges, closers and exit devices already on a commercial building.
25) I need an escutcheon-trim mortise lock to match the Sargent 60-8270 WT escutcheon on adjacent doors - what works?
The Sargent 60-8270 offers a WT escutcheon at 2-1/2 inch by 7-3/8 inch or an LN rose at 2 inch. For matching escutcheon-trim mortise locks on non-electrified openings, 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. Both share the Sargent's 2-3/4 inch backset.
