Sargent 8292 LE1A 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the All Purpose Holdback function on the Sargent 8292 mortise lock actually do?
The 8292 is an all purpose holdback function with a cylinder on both sides of the door. Holdback means the latchbolt can be held retracted so the door pushes open freely, then released back to latching when you want the opening secured again. With keyed cylinders inside and out, both sides are controlled by key, so it suits an opening where you do not want a free-turning lever on either face. It is a lever-trim lock, not a knob.
2) Will the Sargent 8292 latch into the strike that is already in my frame?
The latchbolt throws 3/4 inch, which is the common commercial mortise latch projection, so it will engage a standard ANSI mortise strike with the correct lip. A curved lip strike is part of the install. If your existing frame has a non-standard or short-lip strike, plan on replacing the strike with the one supplied for the lock.
3) Do I have to order the Sargent 8292 handed, or can I flip it on site?
No handing decision needed at order time. The 8292 lock body is field reversible, so the same lock covers left and right hand openings and you can change it during install. That is also why a facility can stock one lock body instead of two.
4) Is the Sargent 8292 mortise lock fire rated for a 3-hour opening?
Yes. The 8292 is UL 10C fire rated up to 3 hours, carries a UL-cUL listing, and meets NFPA 80. It is also ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000 Operational Grade 1, and Sargent completed UL Cycle Above and Beyond testing at 16 million cycles (Verification ID V584148).
5) What do I have to specify when ordering a Sargent 8292-ET mortise lock?
Four choices plus keying. Escutcheon style (LE1, LS, LW1 or WT), lever design (A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W), finish, and the cylinder arrangement: standard cylinder, less cylinder, 70 for small format interchangeable core prep less core, or 60 for large format interchangeable core prep less core. Then keying: keyed different, keyed alike, or to a specific key code. Pick None for keying if you are ordering less cylinder.
6) Can the Sargent 8292 be keyed into our existing master key system?
The 8200 lock body works with all SARGENT key systems, including Degree, Signature, KESO and XC, in 6 pin or 7 pin cylinders. If your building is already on a Sargent system, order keyed alike or supply the key code. If you use a different manufacturer's interchangeable core, order the 70 (small format) or 60 (large format) IC prep less core and drop your own cores in.
7) What is the closest Grade 1 mortise equivalent to the Sargent 8292-ET from another manufacturer?
The Sargent 8292-ET is a Grade 1 heavy duty keyed mortise lock in the 8200 Series with an All Purpose Holdback function and lever trim. The closest cross-brand peers by grade and construction are the Corbin Russwin ML2003, a Grade 1 mortise lockset in the ML2000 Series for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Accentra 8805FL, a Grade 1 mortise lock in the 8800 Series. Both are mechanical Grade 1 mortise bodies, but each is catalogued to a single function - the ML2003 is classroom and the 8805FL is storeroom - while the 8292-ET is the holdback function. Confirm the function code matches the opening before substituting.
8) If the opening needs a storeroom function instead of holdback, what mortise lock should I use?
Storeroom is a different function than the All Purpose Holdback carried by the Sargent 8292-ET, so it is not a setting change on a finished lockset. For storeroom openings, the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 mortise lock with a storeroom function and Arcadia lever, and the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors with an interchangeable core option. Both keep the Grade 1 rating the 8292-ET carries.
9) We need classroom function mortise locks for a school, not holdback - what are the options?
The Sargent 8292-ET is built for the All Purpose Holdback function. For classroom openings, the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal NM8070 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Marks USA LA318GJ is a Grade 1 classroom security indicator mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors with an ANSI strike and steel escutcheon measuring 8-1/2 in. H x 2-3/4 in. W x 7/16 in.
10) What looks like a substitute for the Sargent 8292-ET but will not actually lock the door?
Several mortise-labeled items are trim only and carry no locking function. The Schlage L0170 is a Grade 1 mortise non-keyed half dummy trim for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon MESC600DT is a dummy escutcheon lever trim for M9900 exit devices, and the Emtek 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton and 3106 Manhattan are dummy mortise entrance locksets. None of these secure an opening the way the keyed double cylinder 8292-ET does; they suit inactive leaves and pull-side trim.
11) Will a Baldwin 6310 mortise lock drop into the same door prep as the Sargent 8292-ET?
Not without re-prepping. The Sargent 8292-ET is built on a 2-3/4 inch backset, while the Baldwin 6310 entry/storeroom knob-by-knob body and the Baldwin 6301 entry/apartment lever-by-lever body are both 2-1/2 inch backset mortise bodies. The 6310 covers doors 1-3/8 in. and over and the 6301 covers 1-3/4 in. and over. The backset difference moves the cylinder and spindle centerlines, so measure the existing mortise pocket before ordering either way.
12) Do any of the alternatives to the Sargent 8292-ET carry the same 3 hour fire rating?
The Sargent 8292-ET is UL 10C fire rated up to 3 hours with UL-cUL listing and NFPA 80 compliance. Among comparable mortise products, the Schlage LEMD-GRW carries a 3 hour fire rating and is Grade 1, and the Schlage LEBMB-ADD carries a 3 hour fire rating at Grade 2 for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock listed as fire rated. If the opening is on a 3 hour label, verify the rating on the specific trim and lever combination you order.
13) What finishes does the Sargent 8292-ET escutcheon trim come in for matching existing doors?
Sixteen finishes, from 03 bright brass and 04 satin brass through 09 and 10 bronze, 10B oil rubbed, 10BE, 10BL, 14 and 15 nickel, 20D dark statuary bronze, 26 and 26D chrome, 32 and 32D stainless, plus BSP black suede and WSP white suede powder coat. For most commercial corridors 26D or 32D is the match you are looking for. Note that escutcheon trim covers a larger area of the door face than rose trim, so it will not line up with an existing rose-trim footprint.
14) I need a mortise lock but not a double-cylinder holdback function. What else is there?
Function is the whole decision with mortise locks. For a classroom opening, the Corbin Russwin ML2003 or Cal-Royal NM8070 are Grade 1 mortise classroom locks. Storeroom, look at the Accentra 8805FL or Cal-Royal NM8080. Office or entrance, Cal-Royal NM8050. Privacy for a restroom, Cal-Royal NM8440 or Hager 3840S. The 8292 holdback with cylinders both sides is a narrower application than any of those.
15) Is the Sargent 8292 an electronic lock, and what should I order if I need access control?
No, the 8292-ET is a mechanical lock with no electrical components. If the opening needs credential or remote control, look at electrified or standalone mortise options instead: the BEST 45HW wired electromechanical mortise lock runs on 12V or 24V, the Command Access ML190 is a motorized mortise with field selectable fail safe or fail secure, and the Schlage CO-100 mortise is a standalone keypad unit. TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 RFID mortise classroom lock.
16) Is the Sargent 8292 heavy duty enough for a school or hospital corridor?
It is a Grade 1 heavy duty commercial lock, tested by UL to 16 million cycles. Sargent lists it for office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, industrial, multi-tenant residential and government facilities. For high abuse traffic that is the cycle count you want behind the lever.
17) What is a simpler non-keyed mortise lock if the door does not need double cylinder keying?
The Sargent 8292-ET is a keyed double cylinder mortise lock. Where the opening needs no key control, the Hager 3810E is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with escutcheon trim and 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 in. to 2-1/2 in. thick, the Hager 3850E is a non-keyed office mortise lock with lever and escutcheon on the same 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage latch mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Hager 3810E keeps the escutcheon trim style the 8292-ET uses.
18) Can I use an electronic mortise lock in place of the Sargent 8292-ET for credential access?
The Sargent 8292-ET is a mechanical, non-electronic lock keyed with standard cylinders. If the opening needs credentials or codes instead, the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with RFID for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Schlage LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE wireless mortise lock with a 125 kHz proximity reader and a 3 hour fire rating, and the Alarm Lock DL3500CR is a Grade 1 Trilogy electronic classroom mortise lock with 300 user codes for doors 1-5/8 in. to 1-7/8 in. thick. These carry access control functions rather than the holdback function and require power or battery service the 8292-ET does not.
19) Is a BEST 45H mortise lock body the same thing as ordering the Sargent 8292-ET?
No. The BEST 45H is a heavy duty mortise lock body with public entrance function and field reversible operation, and the BEST 45HCA is a heavy duty mortise lockbody with intruder function - both are bodies rather than complete trimmed locksets. The Sargent 8292-ET ships as a lock with escutcheon trim, selectable in LE1, LS, LW1 or WT escutcheons and A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W levers. If you buy a bare lockbody you still have to source trim separately.
20) What mortise lockset should I use for a behavioral health or ligature resistant opening instead of the 8292-ET?
The Sargent 8292-ET uses conventional lever trim in A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W lever styles. For anti-ligature openings, the TownSteel MRX-L-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty stainless steel anti-ligature lever mortise lockset with passage function for 1-3/4 inch doors, the TownSteel MRX-A-01 is the same passage function with satin stainless ligature resistant arch trim, 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. All three are passage rather than keyed functions.
21) We need electrified access control on a mortise opening - what replaces the mechanical Sargent 8292-ET?
The 8292-ET is a mechanical keyed mortise lock with no electrical operation. For electrified openings, the Schlage L9092EU with 03A trim is a heavy duty corridor function mortise lock, keyed outside, with request to exit and 12/24VDC operation for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Command Access ML190 is a heavy-duty motorized mortise lock with field selectable EL/EU operation at 24VDC in a storeroom function; and the BEST 45HW is a heavy duty wired electromechanical mortise lock with 12V/24V operation. Each requires a power transfer at the hinge or frame that the mechanical 8292-ET does not.
22) What is the difference between the Sargent 8292-ET and a Cal-Royal NM8050 for an office entrance door?
Both are Grade 1 heavy duty mortise locksets. The Cal-Royal NM8050 is an office/entrance function with auxiliary deadlatch, sized for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Sargent 8292-ET is the All Purpose Holdback function on a 2-3/4 inch backset, keyed double cylinder, with escutcheon trim in LE1, LS, LW1 or WT and 16 finish choices from 03 bright brass through BSP black suede powder coat. Choose by function first: holdback keeps the latch retracted, office/entrance does not.
23) If the restroom or bedroom door needs privacy instead of a keyed mortise lock, what should I order?
The Sargent 8292-ET is keyed on both sides and not a privacy function. For privacy openings, the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 privacy/bed/bath 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 in. to 2 in. thick. The Hager 3840S matches the 2-3/4 inch backset the 8292-ET uses.
24) Is the Codelocks CL2255 a substitute for a Grade 1 Sargent mortise lock?
They are different duty classes. The Codelocks CL2255 is a medium duty electronic tubular mortise latch in the CL2000 Series with a brushed steel finish. The Sargent 8292-ET is a heavy duty Grade 1 mortise lock tested to 16 million cycles in UL Cycle Above and Beyond testing. On high-traffic commercial openings specified for Grade 1, the CL2255 is not a like-for-like replacement.
25) Does the Sargent 8292-ET fit a narrow stile or glass door like some other mortise products?
The Sargent 8292-ET is specified for 1-3/4 inch door thickness with a 2-3/4 inch backset and escutcheon lever trim, which suits standard commercial wood and hollow metal doors. For aluminum and glass openings, the Kaba Ilco BR Series is a glass door bottom rail lock, the Alarm Lock DL1300NW is an electronic mortise lock built for Adams Rite deadlatches, and the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 is catalogued for wide stile doors. Those are the products aimed at storefront-type openings rather than the 8292-ET.
26) Can I switch the function later without buying a new Sargent 8200 lock?
The 8200 lock body is multifunctional, so the function can be switched in the field, and the series covers 56 functions overall including electromechanical, security and monitoring versions with status indicators and behavioral health trim. For a large property that means fewer distinct lock bodies on the shelf.
27) Does the Sargent 8292 mortise lock meet ADA requirements for lever operation?
Sargent lists the 8200 Series as ADA compliant, and all eight trim options (A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W) are lever designs rather than knobs, which is what ADA operation calls for on an accessible opening.
