Sargent 8238-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Sargent 8200 mortise lock body come with levers and a cylinder, or do I order trim separately?
What ships is the mortise body itself, along with the front plate, strike, and screw pack. Lever trim and the cylinder are separate orders, so plan on specifying the 8200 trim design and rose or escutcheon you want plus a cylinder for the keyed functions. The 8200 is a lever-operated series, so the trim you pick should be an 8200 lever set.
2) Which lock functions can I get in the Sargent 8238 mortise body?
Five functions are offered: passage or closet, dormitory or exit, classroom, classroom security intruder with double cylinder, and privacy bedroom or bath with deadbolt. The function is the single decision that changes the lock body, not just the trim, so pick it by how the door has to behave. The intruder version takes two cylinders, which means cylinder prep inside and out.
3) Do I have to order the Sargent 8200 mortise lock handed?
No. The 8200 body is re-handed in the field without pulling parts or opening the lock case, so one body covers left and right hand openings. That makes it practical for a property manager keeping a couple of spares on the shelf for a mixed set of doors instead of stocking both hands.
4) Can I use this Sargent mortise lock on a fire rated door in a hospital or school?
Yes. The 8200 mortise body is UL and cUL listed and carries ANSI/UL 10C positive pressure fire test certification, which is what an inspector looks for on a fire rated door assembly. It is also rated ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000 Operational Grade 1 and Security Grade 1. For classroom openings, both the classroom and the classroom security intruder functions are available in the same series, so you can standardize one lock body across a building.
5) I need a storeroom function mortise lock, which the Sargent 8238 does not offer. What should I use instead?
The Sargent 8200 Series body is sold here in Passage or Closet, Dormitory or Exit, Classroom, Classroom Security Intruder, and Privacy Bedroom or Bath functions. For storeroom, the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock with Arcadia lever in the 8800 Series, and the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a heavy duty Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option for 1-3/4 inch doors. The BEST 45HCAC is a heavy duty mortise lock body in public entrance function if you want a body-only part with field reversible operation.
6) What is the closest Grade 1 classroom mortise lock to the Sargent 8200 Series from another manufacturer?
For a classroom-function Grade 1 mortise, 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 heavy duty Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch, also listed at 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Sargent 8200 Series body is offered in a Classroom function as well, along with Passage or Closet, Dormitory or Exit, Classroom Security Intruder, and Privacy Bedroom or Bath. The difference to watch is scope: the Sargent 8200 order here is the mortise body with front, strike and screw pack, while the ML2003 and NM8070 are described as complete locksets including trim.
7) What else offers a classroom security intruder function like the Sargent 8200?
The Sargent 8200 Series is available in a Classroom Security Intruder (Double Cylinder) function. Comparable intruder-function options include the BEST 45HCAINL, a heavy duty mortise lockbody with intruder function, and the TownSteel FME-4000 Series, a Grade 1 heavy duty electronic intruder classroom mortise lockset with RFID technology for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Marks USA LA318GJ is a Grade 1 classroom security indicator mortise lockset with ANSI strike and steel escutcheon measuring 8-1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch by 7/16 inch, which adds a visual status indicator rather than double-cylinder keying.
8) The Sargent 8200 is listed as electromechanical. What other electrified mortise locks should I look at?
The Sargent 8200 Series carries an Electromechanical product function and the description notes Ecoflex technology on electrified versions. Directly comparable wired options include the BEST 45HW Series heavy duty wired electromechanical mortise lock with 12V/24V operation, the Command Access ML190 Series motorized mortise lock with field selectable EL/EU operation on 24VDC in storeroom function, and the Schlage L9092EU with electric lock/unlock outside lever, keyed outside, request to exit, 12/24VDC, heavy duty corridor function for 1-3/4 inch doors. Those three are electrically controlled from an access control panel, which is a different design intent than a keypad or credential lock.
9) Which mortise locks look like substitutes for the Sargent 8200 but are not?
Several mortise-named parts will not do the same job. The Emtek 3019 Brisbane, 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton and 3106 Manhattan are dummy-function mortise entrance locksets with no latching mechanism. The Schlage L0170 is a Grade 1 half dummy trim. The Marks USA 21AC and 22AC are ornamental iron mortise locks listed for 1 inch doors, which is a storefront rail application rather than a commercial wood or hollow metal door. The Schlage PC10 is a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock, which needs a bored prep instead of a mortise pocket. The Sargent 8200 body itself is a heavy duty commercial mortise lock body with lever trim.
10) For a behavioral health or ligature-resistant opening, is the Sargent 8200 the right mortise lock?
The Sargent 8200 Series is a heavy duty commercial mortise body with lever trim, which is standard lever hardware rather than anti-ligature. For those openings, the TownSteel MRX-L-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty stainless steel anti-ligature lever mortise lockset in passage function for 1-3/4 inch doors, the 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 described as ligature resistant and ADA compliant in satin stainless steel.
11) What does finish 26D mean on this Sargent lock body and will it match my other hardware?
26D is satin chromium plated over nickel, the dull chrome look that reads as satin chrome or brushed chrome next to closers, hinges, and exit devices. It is the standard commercial finish and sits alongside 626 satin chrome in other manufacturers' numbering. All five function options are offered in 26D.
12) Is this a keyed lock as supplied?
It is supplied unkeyed. The 8238 is a lock body, so the cylinder is a separate item and keying is set by the cylinder you install. For a locksmith that is useful, because the same body can go into an existing keyway or masterkey system rather than forcing a new one. The passage or closet function needs no cylinder at all.
13) Is a mortise lock like this the right choice, or should I use a cylindrical lock?
A mortise body goes into a pocket routed into the door edge and carries the load on a heavy steel case, which is why it is specified for high traffic commercial and institutional openings. It also gives you functions a cylindrical lock cannot, like a privacy function with its own deadbolt and classroom security intruder with two cylinders. The tradeoff is prep: the door has to be mortised. If the door is already bored for a cylindrical lock and you just need a passage latch, a Schlage PC10 Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock is the simpler swap.
14) What are my options if I want a classroom mortise lock with a keypad instead of a key?
The 8238 body is a mechanical lock body; keying comes from a cylinder. If you want credential or code access on a classroom opening, ZenSupply carries the TownSteel FME-2000 Series, a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with RFID for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Alarm Lock DL3500CR Trilogy, a Grade 1 classroom electronic mortise lock with 300 user codes for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors. For an intruder-function electronic version, the TownSteel FME-4000 Series covers that.
15) Do I need a template to prep the door for a Sargent 8200 mortise lock?
Yes, and Sargent publishes one covering the 7800 and 8200 mortise locks with all sectional rose trims and escutcheon trims, so the same sheet handles the body pocket and the trim holes. Mark the pocket and cylinder locations from it before routing, because a mortise pocket cut in the wrong spot is not something you patch. The body arrives pre-assembled, which keeps the install to prep, mount, and adjust for latching.
16) Is there a simpler passage mortise lock if I only need latching, not the full Sargent 8200 assembly?
If the opening only needs a non-keyed latch, the Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 passage latch mortise lock, non-keyed, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock with field reversible operation and a fire rating. Hager offers the 3810S with rose and the 3810E with escutcheon, both 3800 Series passage mortise locks with 2-3/4 inch backset for 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inch doors. The Sargent 8200 body covers Passage or Closet among its functions and ships as a body with front, strike and screw pack.
17) What is the difference between the Sargent 8200 mortise body and a standalone keypad mortise lock?
The Sargent 8200 order is a mortise body with front, strike and screw pack, non-keyed as catalogued, in mechanical functions such as Classroom and Privacy. Standalone credential locks manage access at the door instead: the Alarm Lock DL3500CR is a Grade 1 Trilogy electronic mortise lock with 300 user codes in classroom function for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, the BEST 45HZ EZ Series is an electronic keypad mortise lock with key override, and the Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 is a Grade 1 pushbutton and card back-to-back mortise lock. Those carry their own user database and battery or power requirements, so they are not a drop-in for a mechanical body swap.
18) If I want card or mobile credential access on a mortise door instead of a mechanical Sargent 8200 body, what are the options?
Credentialed mortise locksets in the same door prep family include the TownSteel FME-2000 Series, a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with RFID for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW, a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with 125kHz proximity reader and mobile-enabled deadbolt with LED in Greenwich trim, right hand, rated 3 hours fire, and the Accentra NTM623-NR nexTouch Generation 3 Grade 1 mortise lock with capacitive touchscreen keypad and cylinder override. Note the Dormakaba Saffire LX-I-M002 RFID mortise lockset with BLE mobile access is BHMA Grade 2, a step below the Grade 1 rating the Sargent 8200 carries.
19) Is the Sargent 8200 mortise body field reversible, and which competing bodies are too?
The Sargent 8200 mortise body can be re-handed in the field without removing parts or opening the lock case. Among comparable bodies, the BEST 45HCAC heavy duty mortise lock body in public entrance function is described with field reversible operation, and the Falcon MA101 Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock also has field reversible operation. The Kaba Ilco 185 Series mortise deadbolt is offered with no handing at all. If you stock one body across left and right hand openings, those are the candidates.
20) What does Ecoflex do on the electrified 8200 mortise locks?
Ecoflex is Sargent's patented low-power design on the electromechanical 8200 versions. It cuts power consumption by up to 96 percent, certified by GreenCircle. Practically, that matters when you are sizing a power supply for a run of electrified openings or working from a limited access control power budget.
21) What compares to the Sargent 8200 for a dormitory or exit function opening?
The Sargent 8200 Series is offered in a Dormitory or Exit function. Closest in intent among peers are entrance-type mortise locksets: the Cal-Royal NM8050 is a heavy duty Grade 1 office/entrance mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Baldwin 6301LS is an entry/apartment lever by lever mortise lock body with 2-1/2 inch backset for 1-3/4 inch and over. For electronic entry/egress control on the same opening, the Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 is a Grade 1 entry/egress pushbutton and card back-to-back mortise lock.
