Sargent 8265 LE1A 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sargent 8265 privacy mortise lock fit a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door?
Yes. The 8265 is built for 1-3/4 inch door thickness with a 2-3/4 inch backset, which is the standard commercial mortise pocket. Latchbolt throw is 3/4 inch, so it works with a standard ANSI mortise strike prep.
2) Do I need to specify hand when ordering a Sargent 8265 mortise lock?
The 8265 lock body is field reversible, so the same unit covers left and right hand openings and a locksmith can change it on site without extra parts. What you do specify is lever style, escutcheon, and finish.
3) Can a Sargent 8265 privacy lock go on a fire rated door?
It can. The 8265 carries a UL 10C positive pressure fire rating up to 3 hours with NFPA 80 compliance. Note that a privacy function lock is only appropriate on a fire door where the opening does not require keyed control, such as a single occupancy restroom.
4) What does the privacy function on the Sargent 8265 actually do?
It is the bedroom and bath function: the inside lever locks the outside lever, and the latch retracts from inside at any time for free egress. It is a non-keyed function, so there is no key control of the opening from the corridor side.
5) Can I use the same Sargent 8200 prep for the privacy doors and the keyed doors?
Yes. The 8265 is part of the 8200 Series mortise family, so the lock body pocket, cross bore and trim prep are common across the series. That lets you standardize a building on one template and one lever design, then change only the function per opening. The 7800/8200 installation template covers all sectional rose and escutcheon trims.
6) What is a direct alternative to the Sargent 8265-ET privacy mortise lock from another manufacturer?
For a Grade 1 privacy/bed/bath mortise lock, the closest peers are the Cal-Royal NM8440, a heavy duty Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3840S, a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inches. The Sargent 8265-ET is a Grade 1 non-keyed privacy/bedroom/bath mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset and 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The NM8440 includes a deadbolt in the privacy function, while the 8265-ET uses a privacy latch function; confirm which the door schedule calls for before swapping.
7) I need a mortise lock for a restroom door but no privacy locking - what should I use instead?
If the opening only needs latching with no locking at all, a passage function mortise lock is the right part: the Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage latch mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty fire-rated mortise passage lock with field reversible operation, and the Hager 3810E offers passage function with an escutcheon on a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Sargent 8265-ET is privacy/bedroom/bath function, so it adds an inside locking thumbturn those passage locks do not have.
8) The door needs to be keyed, not privacy - which mortise lock replaces the Sargent 8265-ET?
The Sargent 8265-ET is a non-keyed privacy function, so for a keyed opening you move to a storeroom, office, or classroom function body. Keyed peers include the Accentra 8805FL Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock with Arcadia lever, the Cal-Royal NM8080 Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option, the Cal-Royal NM8050 Grade 1 office/entrance mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch, and the Corbin Russwin ML2003 Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors. All are Grade 1 like the 8265-ET.
9) What mortise lock should I specify for a behavioral health or patient room instead of the Sargent 8265-ET?
For anti-ligature 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, and the MRX-A-01 is the same passage function with satin stainless ligature resistant arch trim. The Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset that is ligature resistant and ADA compliant. The Sargent 8265-ET is a lever-trim privacy lock, so it uses conventional lever handles rather than ligature resistant trim, and those TownSteel and Marks units are passage rather than privacy function.
10) I need a classroom security or intruder function mortise lock rather than privacy - what are the options?
For lockdown-capable openings, the Marks USA LA318GJ is a Grade 1 classroom security indicator mortise lockset with ANSI strike and steel escutcheon for 1-3/4 inch doors, the BEST 45HCAINL is a heavy duty mortise lockbody with intruder function, and the Cal-Royal NM8070 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch. The Sargent 8265-ET is a non-keyed privacy/bedroom/bath function and has no key-side lockdown capability, so it is not a substitute on a classroom door under a lockdown policy.
11) Is a Grade 1 mortise privacy lock overkill for restrooms, or worth it?
For high traffic restrooms in schools, healthcare, and offices it earns its place. The 8265 meets ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000 Grade 1 and completed UL Above and Beyond cycle testing at 16 million cycles. A Grade 2 bored privacy set will not hold up the same way on a door that gets hit hundreds of times a day.
12) What trim and finish options do I pick when ordering the Sargent 8265?
Three choices. Escutcheon style comes in LE1, LS, LW1, and WT. Lever design comes in A, B, E, F, J, L, P, and W. Finish spans 16 options, including 26D satin chrome, 32D satin stainless, 10B oil rubbed bronze, 15 satin nickel, 04 satin brass, plus BSP black and WSP white suede powder coat. Match the lever and finish to the keyed 8200 locks already on the building so the restroom doors do not read as an afterthought.
13) What are my alternatives to the Sargent 8265 for a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock?
Two close ones. The Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with a deadbolt, for 1-3/4 inch doors, if you want a thrown bolt rather than latch only privacy. The Hager 3840S is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock on a 2-3/4 inch backset and covers a wider door thickness range of 1-3/4 to 2 inches. If you need audit trail or keypad privacy instead of mechanical, the Schlage CO-100 mortise is a Grade 1 privacy function electronic lock for 1-3/4 inch doors.
14) I need a passage lock, not privacy. Is the 8265 the right Sargent part?
No. The 8265 locks from the inside, which is what you want on a restroom or bedroom but not on a corridor or closet door that should always be free swinging. For a plain passage opening look at a passage function mortise lock instead, such as the Falcon MA101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage mortise or the Schlage PM010 Grade 1 passage mortise latch.
15) Is the Sargent 8265 an electronic lock that needs power run to the door?
No wiring needed. The 8265 as supplied is a mechanical, non-electronic lever mortise lock, so it installs with no power transfer hinge, no power supply, and no low voltage run to the frame.
16) Is there an electronic privacy mortise lock instead of a mechanical one like the Sargent 8265-ET?
Yes. The Schlage CO-100-MS-40-KP is a Grade 1 heavy duty standalone electronic mortise lock in privacy function with a keypad reader for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Schlage Electronics LEBMB-ADD is a mobile-enabled mortise lock with push button and LED covering privacy, office, and apartment modes, Grade 2 with a 3 hour fire rating. The Sargent 8265-ET is a mechanical, non-electronic privacy lock, so the electronic options add credential management the 8265-ET does not have and bring a power and programming requirement with them.
17) Will an Emtek 3102 or Schlage L0170 work as a substitute for the Sargent 8265-ET?
No. The Emtek 3102 Memphis and the Schlage L0170 are dummy function trims, meaning they have no latch and no locking action at all - the L0170 is a half dummy trim. The Sargent 8265-ET is a working privacy/bedroom/bath mortise lock with a 3/4 inch latchbolt throw and an inside locking function. Dummy trim is only appropriate on an inactive leaf or a pull-only door.
18) Can I use a cylindrical lock instead of the Sargent 8265-ET mortise lock?
Only if the door is prepped for it. The Sargent 8265-ET is a mortise lock and requires a mortise pocket in the door edge. A cylindrical lock such as the Schlage PC10, a Grade 1 non-keyed passage cylindrical lock with rose for 1-3/4 inch doors, installs into a bored 161 prep instead and cannot drop into a mortise pocket without a filler or new door. The PC10 is also passage function rather than privacy.
19) What is the difference between the Sargent 8265-ET and the Hager 3850E for a non-keyed opening?
Both are non-keyed mortise locks with a 2-3/4 inch backset and lever-and-escutcheon trim. The Hager 3850E is an office function unit for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches thick. The Sargent 8265-ET is privacy/bedroom/bath function on a 1-3/4 inch door, ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000 Grade 1, UL 10C fire rated up to 3 hours, and field reversible. Office function holds the outside lever locked or unlocked by an inside control, while privacy is intended for restroom and bedroom doors.
20) Does the Sargent 8265-ET fit a 1-5/8 inch door like the Alarm Lock Trilogy mortise locks do?
No. The Sargent 8265-ET is built for 1-3/4 inch door thickness. Alarm Lock Trilogy mortise locks such as the DL2700CR and DL3500CR, both Grade 1 classroom function, cover a 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch door thickness range, so they suit a thinner leaf that the 8265-ET does not. Those Trilogy units are keypad electronic classroom locks rather than mechanical privacy locks.
21) For a residential-style mortise lock, is the Baldwin 6301 an alternative to the Sargent 8265-ET?
They are different animals. The Baldwin 6301LS is an entry/apartment lever-by-lever mortise lock body on a 2-1/2 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 inches and over, and the 6310 is entry/storeroom on the same 2-1/2 inch backset. The Sargent 8265-ET is a commercial Grade 1 non-keyed privacy lock on a 2-3/4 inch backset, so the Baldwin bodies will not line up with a 2-3/4 inch mortise prep and are keyed entry functions rather than privacy.
