Sargent 8292 EA 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the all purpose holdback function on the Sargent 8292 mortise lock actually do?
The 8292 is Sargent's all purpose holdback function with a double cylinder, meaning it's keyed on both sides and the latch can be held back so the door stays push-open until you release it. It's a lever lock with no deadbolt in the body, so security comes from the latchbolt and the key control on both faces. Common use is an opening you want latched and keyed from either side during secure hours, then held open for traffic during business hours.
2) Will the Sargent 8292 fit my door, and what backset does it need?
It's cut for a 2-3/4 inch backset on a 1-3/4 inch thick door, which is the standard commercial door prep. The latchbolt throws 3/4 inch. If your doors are thinner than 1-3/4 inch or prepped for a 2-3/8 inch backset, this is not the lock for that opening.
3) Can I use the Sargent 8292 on a fire rated door?
Yes. The 8200 Series is UL 10C fire rated up to 3 hours with positive pressure certification, so it's usable on rated corridor and stair openings within that rating. Note the holdback function holds the latch back, so on a rated opening it must not be left in holdback, since a fire door has to positively latch.
4) What do I have to specify when ordering a Sargent 8292 besides the finish?
Four things. Lever style (A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W), rose size (LN at 2 inches, O at 2-3/4 inches, E at 3-1/16 inches, or L at 3-1/2 inches), the cylinder option, and the keying. Cylinder choices are standard cylinder, less cylinder, 70 prep for small format interchangeable core less core, or 60 prep for large format IC less core. Keying is keyed different, keyed alike, or a specific key code; pick None if you're ordering less cylinder.
5) Will the Sargent 8292 work with the interchangeable cores we already use in our building?
Yes, if you order it with the right prep. Choose the 70 option for a small format interchangeable core prep or the 60 option for a large format prep, both supplied less core, and drop in the cores keyed to your existing system. The 8200 body integrates with all Sargent key systems including Degree, Signature, KESO and XC. If you'd rather key it here, order a standard cylinder and specify keyed alike, keyed different, or your key code.
6) What is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock alternative if the all purpose holdback function is not what the opening needs?
The Sargent 8292 is a Grade 1 mortise lock built around an all purpose holdback function with double cylinder keying. If the opening needs a straight storeroom function instead - outside lever always locked, key retracts the latch, no holdback - the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series with an Arcadia lever, and the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset offered with an interchangeable core option. Both are keyed storeroom functions rather than holdback.
7) What Grade 1 mortise lock should I use on a classroom door instead of a double cylinder holdback lock?
The Sargent 8292 is keyed on both sides as a double cylinder all purpose holdback lock, which is not a classroom function. For classroom openings, the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset in the ML2000 Series for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal NM8070 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch, also for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both give the classroom key-outside-locks-lever behavior the 8292 does not provide.
8) What is the electronic equivalent if I need credential access instead of the mechanical Sargent 8292?
The Sargent 8292 is a mechanical, non-electronic mortise lock. For credential-based access on a mortise prep, the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with RFID for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 is a Grade 1 back to back electronic pushbutton and card mortise lock, and the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE wireless mortise lock with a 125 kHz proximity reader and a 3 hour fire rating. These manage users electronically rather than by key.
9) Do I have to order the Sargent 8292 handed?
No. The 8200 Series lock body is field reversible, so one lock covers left and right hand openings. For a property manager or contractor stocking spares, that cuts your shelf inventory in half.
10) Is the Sargent 8292 heavy duty enough for a high traffic entrance?
It's a Grade 1 heavy duty commercial mortise lock, tested to ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000, and Sargent completed UL Cycle Above and Beyond testing at 16 million cycles. That's the durability tier you want on school corridors, hospital wings, and main office entrances rather than a bored cylindrical lock.
11) Does the Sargent 8292 include a deadbolt?
No. The 8292 is a double cylinder holdback lock with no deadbolt in the body, so it secures on the latchbolt alone. If you need a deadbolt on that opening, look at a mortise function that includes one, such as the Cal-Royal NM8440 Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt, or add a separate deadbolt above the lock.
12) Is the Sargent 8292 an electronic lock?
No, the 8292 is a mechanical, key operated mortise lock. The 8200 Series does offer electromechanical versions running 12 to 24VDC with EcoFlex, but that's a different function in the family. If you want an access controlled mortise opening, the BEST 45HW wired electromechanical mortise lock also runs 12V/24V, and the Command Access ML190 Series is a motorized mortise lock with field selectable fail safe or fail secure operation at 24VDC.
13) Is there a non-keyed mortise lock to pair with the Sargent 8292 on doors that do not need a cylinder?
The Sargent 8292 is a keyed mortise lock with double cylinder keying. On openings in the same run that need free passage, 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 3810S is a 3800 Series passage mortise lock with rose trim and a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Sargent 8292 also uses a 2-3/4 inch backset, so a passage unit on that backset keeps the door prep consistent.
14) Which mortise lock bodies compare to the Sargent 8292 for field reversible heavy duty use?
The Sargent 8292 lock body is field reversible for handing and rated heavy duty. Comparable heavy duty mortise lock bodies include the BEST 45H Series public entrance lock body, also described as field reversible, and the BEST 45HCA Series heavy duty mortise lockbody with an intruder function. Both are BEST lock bodies rather than complete Sargent 8200 Series trim assemblies, so lever and rose selection is handled separately from the Sargent A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W lever options.
15) If the opening needs privacy rather than a keyed holdback lock, what mortise lock should I order?
The Sargent 8292 is keyed on both sides and does not provide a privacy function. For bed, bath or similar privacy openings, the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 heavy duty privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3840S is a 3800 Series privacy mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The Hager matches the 2-3/4 inch backset used by the Sargent 8292.
16) What is the difference between the Sargent 8292 and dummy mortise trim like the Emtek 3102 or Schlage L0170?
The Sargent 8292 is a working keyed mortise lock with a 3/4 inch latchbolt throw and double cylinder keying. The Emtek 3102 Memphis and Emtek 3104 Hamilton are dummy mortise entrance locksets, and the Schlage L0170 is a Grade 1 half dummy trim for 1-3/4 inch doors. Dummy trim is fixed and has no latch or cylinder, so it is used on inactive leaves and closet faces, not as a replacement for a functioning 8292.
17) What finishes does the Sargent 8292 come in for matching existing hardware?
Sixteen finishes, covering the usual commercial matches: 26D satin chrome, 32D satin stainless, 32 bright stainless, 26 bright chrome, 03 and 04 brass, 09 and 10 bronze, 10B oil rubbed bronze plus 10BE and 10BL variants, 20D dark statuary bronze, 14 and 15 nickel, and BSP black or WSP white suede powder coat. For most schools and offices standardizing on a building, 26D or 32D is what's already on the other doors.
18) Can I mix different lever and trim styles across a building and keep the same Sargent 8200 lock body?
Yes. The 8200 lock body is multi-functional and takes a range of lever and escutcheon styles, so you can run the same body on every opening and vary the trim. Eight lever designs and four rose sizes are offered, from the 2 inch LN rose up to the 3-1/2 inch L rose, which is useful when you want a heavier look on lobby doors and a compact rose elsewhere.
