Sargent 28-8XU65 LB 10BE – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to order the Sargent 8XU65 in a specific hand?
No handing to specify. The 8XU65 is non-handed, and the latch is reversible and self-adjusting to the door bevel, so one part number covers left and right hand openings. That is useful if you are stocking spares for a building rather than ordering door by door.
2) Can I use this Sargent knob lock on a fire-rated door?
Yes. The 8X Line privacy knob is UL-cUL listed for fire-rated openings up to 3 hours, which covers stairwell, corridor and patient-room doors in healthcare and school buildings where the opening carries a label.
3) Is a privacy knob the right function for a commercial restroom, or do I need a keyed lock?
Privacy is the correct function for restrooms, bedrooms and bath doors. The 8XU65 is non-keyed: it locks from the inside only and has no cylinder for a key. If you need staff or key access on that door, you want an entrance or storeroom function instead, such as the BEST 8K Series Grade 1 entrance knob lock or the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office cylindrical knob.
4) Is there a lower-grade privacy knob lock that will still fit the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door as the Sargent 8XU65?
Yes. The Sargent 8XU65 is a Grade 1 privacy knob lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. For lighter-traffic openings on the same door thickness range, the Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob lock is Grade 2, and the Cal-Royal BER20 and Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob locksets are Grade 3. All three are non-keyed privacy/bed/bath function and list the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range.
5) What is a Grade 1 alternative to the Sargent 8XU65 privacy knob lock if the opening needs a passage function instead of privacy?
The Sargent 8XU65 is a Grade 1 non-keyed knob lock with a privacy/bedroom/bath function, so it locks from inside the room. For a Grade 1 knob opening that should never lock, the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical non-keyed knob lock with an Orbit knob in passage latch function, and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset. Corbin Russwin CK4310 is another Grade 1 non-keyed passage/closet cylindrical knob lock, listed for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
6) I need a keyed knob lock on the same door prep instead of the non-keyed Sargent 8XU65 privacy knob. What do I use?
The Sargent 8XU65 is non-keyed, so it gives privacy but no key control. For a keyed cylindrical knob at Grade 1, the BEST 8K Series is a heavy duty Grade 1 entrance-function single cylinder knob lock, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 is an entrance/office cylindrical knob lock with a conventional cylinder listed for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. At Grade 2, the Dexter C2000 entry/office ball knob is keyed, and the Dexter C2000 classroom knob covers a classroom function opening.
7) If the 8XU65 has no key, why does the description mention Sargent cylinders?
The 8X Line accepts SARGENT standard, Signature and Degree cylinders across the line, so keyed functions in the same series drop into an existing Sargent master key system. The 8XU65 privacy version itself is non-keyed, so specify a keyed 8X function for any door that has to be on the masterkey.
8) Is a Grade 1 knob lock overkill for apartment bathroom doors?
Depends on the traffic. The 8XU65 is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, heavy duty, rated for doors up to 250 lbs and high traffic, which is what you want in schools, hospitals and public restrooms. For lower-traffic unit interiors, a Grade 2 privacy knob like the Dexter C2000 Series privacy ball knob, or a Grade 3 such as the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob, covers the same function at a lighter duty level.
9) What is the difference between the Sargent 8XU65 privacy knob and a passage knob?
The 8XU65 locks. Privacy function gives you a push button or turn on the inside so the occupant can secure the door, which is what a restroom or bedroom needs. A passage knob just latches with no locking at all, for corridors and closets. Grade 1 passage equivalents include the Schlage D10S orbit knob and the Falcon X101.
10) Will a dummy knob work in place of the Sargent 8XU65 privacy knob lock?
No. The Sargent 8XU65 is a working privacy lockset with a latch, so it latches the door and locks from inside the room. A dummy trim has no latch and no locking action - it is surface-mounted pull trim only. Dummy options in cylindrical knob styling include the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim (Grade 2, medium duty), the Schlage A170 single dummy trim (Grade 2), and the Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob. Use those only on inactive leaves or closet faces, not where privacy is required.
11) For a residential-style bath door, is there a privacy knob other than the Sargent 8XU65 commercial lock?
The Sargent 8XU65 is a commercial Grade 1 heavy duty privacy knob built for high-traffic openings. For residential-appearance bath and bedroom doors, decorative privacy knobs include the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy knob with 5148 rose, which is preconfigured with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike. The Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob is another decorative option.
12) How does the Falcon W101 compare to the Sargent 8XU65 if I am standardizing knob locks across a building?
They are different functions and different duty tiers. The Sargent 8XU65 is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed privacy knob lock for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, UL-cUL listed for fire-rated openings up to 3 hours. The Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical knob in passage/closet latch function with a 2-3/4 inch backset and is fire rated. If you want one family across a building, pair the 8XU65 privacy openings with Grade 1 passage such as the Falcon X101 rather than mixing duty levels.
13) What finishes does the Sargent 8XU65 privacy knob come in, and will it match the rest of my building?
Three finishes: 03 bright brass clear coated, 10BE dark oxidized satin bronze, and 32D satin stainless steel. 32D is the usual match for commercial openings already running satin stainless levers and knobs; 10BE suits darker bronze schemes and 03 suits polished brass trim.
