Sargent 8294 EA 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sargent 8294 double dummy actually latch a door, or is it just trim?
No latching at all. The 8294 is a double dummy function, meaning fixed lever trim on both faces of the door with no latchbolt operation. Pull the door open, push it closed, and nothing engages. Use it on inactive leaves of a pair, closet doors, or where you want the openings to match the working Sargent 8200 Series locks elsewhere in the building. If you need a door that actually latches, you need a different 8200 function, not this one.
2) Does the Sargent 8294 dummy take a cylinder or key?
It is non-keyed. There is nothing to lock and no key function on a double dummy. The cylinder and keying selections that appear when ordering exist because the 8200 platform shares one order form across functions; on the 8294 you select the less-cylinder and no-keying options. If you are keying a building on Sargent Degree, Signature, KESO or XC, this trim simply sits alongside the keyed 8200 locks without being part of the key system.
3) Will the Sargent 8294 fit a 1-3/4 inch door and does it need a mortise pocket?
It is built for 1-3/4 inch doors, the standard commercial thickness, and it is a mortise-prep product. Even though nothing operates, the 8294 is trim for a mortised door, so the door needs the 8200 Series mortise pocket and 2-3/4 inch backset prep. If your inactive leaf has never been mortised, factor that machining into the job before you order.
4) How do I make dummy trim on my closet and inactive doors match the working Sargent locks in the rest of the building?
Match three things: lever, rose, and finish. The 8294 uses the same 8200 Series lever designs (A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W) and the same rose options, so specify the identical letters you have on your keyed and passage 8200 locks. Roses come as E at 3-1/16 inches (78mm), L at 3-1/2 inches (89mm), LN at 2 inches (51mm), and O at 2-3/4 inches (67mm). Then match the finish code exactly, for example 26D satin chrome or 32D satin stainless. Property managers standardizing a floor should record those three codes once and reorder against them.
5) What is the difference between a dummy mortise trim and a passage mortise lock?
A passage lock has a working latch that retracts when you turn the lever, so the door stays shut until someone operates it. A dummy has no latch at all and the lever is fixed. Pick the 8294 dummy for an inactive leaf held by flush bolts, or a door held closed by a magnetic catch or a ball catch. If the door needs to stay closed on its own, go to a passage function instead, such as the Falcon MA101 Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock or the Schlage PM010 Grade 1 passage latch mortise lock.
6) Can I use the Sargent 8294 on a fire rated door opening?
The 8200 Series lock platform carries a UL 10C positive pressure fire rating up to 3 hours with NFPA 80 compliance. Understand what that covers on a dummy though: the 8294 provides no latching, so it contributes nothing to keeping the leaf closed and latched. On a fire rated pair, the inactive leaf has to be secured by fire rated flush bolts or an automatic bolt, and the dummy trim is only the pull. Specify the bolts separately.
7) What is the equivalent of a Sargent 8294 double dummy if the opening needs only one side trimmed?
The Sargent 8294 is a double dummy function mortise lock, so it dresses both faces of the door with a fixed lever. When only the pull side needs trim, the Schlage L0170 is a half dummy trim in the L Series, Grade 1 non-keyed mortise, rated heavy duty for a 1-3/4 inch door. Half dummy covers one face; double dummy covers both, which is what a pair of doors or a swing door with trim on each side calls for.
8) The lever on a dummy door needs to actually retract a latch - what mortise lock replaces a Sargent 8294 there?
The Sargent 8294 is a dummy function lever with no latch action at all. For an opening that has to latch but stay unlocked, the Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 passage latch mortise lock, non-keyed, for a 1-3/4 inch door. The Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock in the MA Series with field reversible operation and a fire rating. The Hager 3810S is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with rose and a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches.
9) Can a Sargent 8294 be used on a door that needs to lock, or does that take a different mortise lock?
The Sargent 8294 is non-keyed dummy function and does not lock. Keyed and lockable mortise bodies are separate models: the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series, the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option for a 1-3/4 inch door, the Cal-Royal NM8070 is a Grade 1 classroom lockset, and the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset in the ML2000 Series for a 1-3/4 inch door.
10) A privacy or bathroom door was mistakenly spec'd with a Sargent 8294 - what should go there instead?
The Sargent 8294 is a double dummy and gives no privacy function. For a bed or bath opening, the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt for a 1-3/4 inch door, and the Hager 3840S is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inches.
11) Do I need to worry about handing when ordering a Sargent 8294 double dummy?
Handing is not a factor on the double dummy. There is no latch and no operating hub, so the trim mounts the same regardless of which way the door swings. What you do have to get right is which face of the door needs trim: the 8294 is the double dummy, levers on both sides. If you only need a pull on one face, a half dummy such as the Schlage L0170 half dummy trim covers that case instead.
12) Is the Sargent 8294 Grade 1, and does that mean anything on a lock that does not move?
Grade 1, heavy duty, and rated commercial. On dummy trim the grade shows up in the mounting and the lever casting rather than in cycle life, which matters more than people expect: dummy levers on inactive leaves take abuse from carts and shoulders in schools, hospitals and hotel corridors, and light residential trim loosens. Grade 1 here means the same lever and rose hardware used on the working 8200 locks.
13) Is the Sargent 8294 an electrified lock, and can I wire it?
No electrical anywhere on it. The 8294 is a mechanical, non-electronic dummy trim with no wiring, no power draw, and nothing to connect. If the opening needs an electrified mortise lock, look at products built for it, such as the BEST 45HW wired electromechanical mortise lock with 12V/24V operation or the Command Access ML190 Series motorized mortise lock with field selectable EL/EU operation and 24VDC power.
14) What is the equivalent to a Sargent 8294 dummy from another manufacturer?
The closest cross-brand match in mortise dummy trim is the Schlage L Series L0170, a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed mortise dummy for 1-3/4 inch doors, though it is a half dummy (one face) against the 8294's double dummy (both faces). On the decorative side, Emtek's mortise dummy locksets, the 3019 Brisbane, 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton and 3106 Manhattan, cover the same function with ornamental trim rather than commercial Grade 1 hardware. For an exit device opening, the Falcon MESC600DT dummy escutcheon lever trim is the dummy for M9900 Series devices, not a mortise door.
15) Which rose size should I pick for a Sargent 8294 when I am covering old holes in the door?
Go by the diameter of what you are replacing. The four rose choices are LN at 2 inches (51mm), O at 2-3/4 inches (67mm), E at 3-1/16 inches (78mm), and L at 3-1/2 inches (89mm). The L rose gives the largest footprint and covers the most existing prep; LN is the smallest and will leave old marks showing. Measure the visible ring or scarring on the door face and pick the next size up.
16) Which dummy mortise trims are the residential-style alternative to a Sargent 8294?
The Sargent 8294 is a commercial Grade 1 heavy duty lever dummy in the 8200 Series, offered on E, L, LN and O roses. Emtek offers dummy function mortise entrance locksets in decorative designs instead: the 3019 Brisbane in brass, the 3102 Memphis, the 3104 Hamilton and the 3106 Manhattan. All four are dummy function like the 8294; the Sargent is specified as commercial heavy duty and takes lever and rose combinations from its own 8200 range.
17) Is dummy trim for an exit device the same thing as a Sargent 8294?
No. The Sargent 8294 is a mortise lock with double dummy function and rose trim, taking A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W levers. The Falcon MESC600DT is dummy escutcheon lever trim made for M9900 Series exit devices and carries a fire rating. Exit device dummy trim mounts to the device prep on a door already fitted with an exit device, while the 8294 is a mortise product with its own rose and lever range.
18) What are the Grade 1 mortise options if the opening needs credentials or a keypad rather than fixed dummy trim?
The Sargent 8294 is a mechanical non-electronic dummy. Electronic Grade 1 mortise alternatives include the Alarm Lock DL3500CR Trilogy with 300 user codes and classroom function for doors 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inches, the TownSteel FME-2000 Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with RFID for a 1-3/4 inch door, and the Schlage CO-100 standalone electronic mortise lock with keypad reader, Grade 1 heavy duty privacy function for a 1-3/4 inch door. Note the door thickness ranges differ between them.
19) Is there a cylindrical alternative when the door has no mortise pocket?
The Sargent 8294 requires a mortise pocket. The Schlage PC10 is a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock, non-keyed with rose, for a 1-3/4 inch door, and it uses a bored prep rather than a mortise pocket. It is a passage function, so the lever turns and retracts a latch instead of sitting fixed the way dummy trim does.
20) For a behavioral health or ligature-resistant opening, what mortise trim is used in place of a standard lever and rose?
The Sargent 8294 uses conventional lever and rose trim in finishes such as 26D satin chromium plated over nickel and 32D satin stainless steel. Where ligature resistance is required, the TownSteel MRX-L-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty anti-ligature lever mortise lockset in stainless steel with passage function for a 1-3/4 inch door, the MRX-A-01 is the same passage function with satin stainless arch trim, and the Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset, ligature resistant and ADA compliant in satin stainless steel.
21) Which mortise lock bodies match a Sargent 8294 on heavy duty rating when a working function is needed on the same door series?
The Sargent 8294 is a heavy duty Grade 1 mortise product. Heavy duty mortise lock bodies with active functions include the BEST 45HCAC in the 45H Series with public entrance function and field reversible operation, the BEST 45HCAINL with intruder function, and the Command Access ML190 motorized mortise lock with field selectable EL/EU operation, 24VDC power and storeroom function. Pairing a dummy with a matching heavy duty body of a different function is the usual way to keep a run of doors visually consistent.
22) What finishes does the Sargent 8294 dummy lever come in for a healthcare or behavioral setting?
Sixteen finishes, including the two powder coats that are usually specified where a softer, non-metallic look is wanted: BSP black suede and WSP white suede. The rest run through brass and bronze (03, 04, 09, 10, 10B, 10BE, 10BL, 20D), nickel (14, 15), chrome (26, 26D) and stainless (32, 32D). Satin chrome 26D and satin stainless 32D are the usual commercial defaults.
