Sargent 28-DLU65-TO-A-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sargent DL Series privacy lever fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door, or does it need a 1-3/4 inch door?
Either one. The DL Series privacy tubular lock covers door thickness from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, which spans the common older interior door and the standard commercial 1-3/4 inch leaf. That makes it usable on both the original wood doors in an older building and the newer rated openings without ordering two different locks.
2) Do I have to order a left hand and right hand version of the Sargent DL privacy lever?
No. The DL Series privacy lock is non-handed, so one part works on a left or right hand door. For a property manager or contractor stocking spares across a building, that means a single lock on the shelf covers every bath and private office opening regardless of swing.
3) How does the emergency release work on a Sargent DL privacy bathroom lock if someone is locked in?
The inside lever always retracts the latch, so a person inside can always get out even with the button pushed. From the corridor side the lock is released through the emergency release on the outside trim, which lets maintenance or staff open a bathroom or bedroom door in an emergency without a key. The lock is non-keyed, so there is no cylinder to key into an existing system.
4) Is the Sargent DL privacy lever OK on a fire rated bathroom or stairwell door?
The DL Series privacy lock is UL-cUL fire rated up to 3 hours, so it can go on rated openings up to that rating. It also meets ADA and ICC A117.1 accessible design requirements, which is what the lever handle is doing for you rather than a knob.
5) What is the closest Grade 1 privacy lever equivalent to the Sargent DL Series privacy tubular lock?
Among Grade 1 privacy-function cylindrical locks, the Arrow MK02-TA is the direct counterpart to the Sargent DL Series privacy lock. Both carry Grade 1 and both are privacy/bed/bath function with no keying. The difference is trim and door range: the Sargent DL Series is a lever set covering 1 3/8 inch to 1 3/4 inch doors, while the Arrow MK02-TA uses a Tudor knob and is listed for 1 3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. If the opening needs a lever for ADA reasons, the Sargent is the one that fits; if the door is a full 2 inches thick, the Arrow covers that range.
6) Is there a lighter-duty privacy lever for apartment bathrooms that does not need Grade 1?
For interior bath and bedroom doors where Grade 1 is more than the traffic calls for, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever, covering 1 3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set is Grade 3 and covers 1 3/8 inch to 1 3/4 inch doors. The Sargent DL Series privacy lock sits above both at Grade 1 with a UL fire rating up to 3 hours, which is what makes it the choice on rated openings rather than plain interior bath doors.
7) What should I use on the same run of doors where the room does not need to lock?
Match the privacy openings with a passage lever from the same duty class. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers, fire rated, covering 1 3/8 inch to 2 1/4 inch doors. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 fire-rated passage/closet lever for 1 3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Both leave the latch always retractable from either side, while the Sargent DL Series privacy lock adds the inside push button and emergency release for bath and bedroom doors.
8) The door is a full 2 inches thick - what privacy or non-keyed lever covers that?
The Sargent DL Series privacy lock is built for 1 3/8 inch to 1 3/4 inch doors, so a 2 inch leaf falls outside it. The Hager 2540 privacy cylindrical lock with Withnell lever is listed for 1 3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. If the opening does not need to lock, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1 3/8 inch to 2 1/4 inch and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage/closet lever covers 1 3/4 inch to 2 inch.
9) The restroom needs to be lockable by staff with a key - is the privacy lock the right function?
No. The Sargent DL Series is privacy/bedroom/bath function and non-keyed, locked only by the inside push button with emergency release from outside. For a public toilet or utility room that staff control by key, look at keyed functions instead: the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt, the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with Withnell lever, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is an asylum/institution/utility function lock with a conventional cylinder in Schlage C keyway.
10) For a behavioral health or patient room, is a privacy lock acceptable or do I need something else?
Privacy function gives the occupant control of the lock, which is the opposite of what patient and secure rooms usually require. The Dexter C1000 Series asylum lock is the Grade 1 F87 asylum/institution/utility function for 1 3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, where both sides are key-operated and the occupant cannot lock staff out. The Arrow MK33-BD-CS is another asylum/institution/utility lock, heavy duty with a conventional cylinder. The Sargent DL Series privacy lock is the right pick for staff restrooms and private offices in the same facility, not for the patient rooms.
11) The opening is a fire-rated door - which lever locks carry a fire rating?
The Sargent DL Series privacy lock is UL-cUL fire rated up to 3 hours. Among comparable cylindrical levers, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage/closet lock and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock both carry a fire rating, and the Arrow MK02-TA Grade 1 privacy lock is fire rated as well. Confirm the rating on the door and frame assembly matches the hours you need before you settle on the lock.
12) Privacy lock or passage lock for an office and restroom package?
Privacy is the one with the push button: it locks the outside lever from inside, which is what a restroom, bedroom or private office needs. A passage set has no locking at all and is for corridor and closet doors. If part of the package is passage, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage cylindrical lock, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever. Use the Sargent DL privacy for the doors that actually need to lock behind someone.
13) What is the difference between a Grade 1 privacy lever like the Sargent DL and a Grade 2 or Grade 3 privacy set?
Grade is the ANSI/BHMA durability tier, and the Sargent DL privacy lock is Grade 1, the commercial top tier, rated for the highest cycle and strength requirements. Grade 2 is the light commercial tier, which is where the Hager 2540 privacy set with the Withnell lever sits, and Grade 3 is residential, which is the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever. For a school, hospital or hotel restroom that gets used all day, the Grade 1 is the one that holds up; for an apartment interior bedroom door the Grade 3 is often what the spec calls for.
14) Can I match the Sargent DL privacy lever on a closet or store room door in the same corridor?
Not from the same part. The DL privacy is a single function, non-keyed cylindrical lock; a closet needs passage and a store room needs a keyed function. To keep the corridor looking consistent, hold the lever design, rose and finish constant and change the function. Where the whole run is a different brand, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta covers passage on a Grade 2 set.
15) Is the Sargent DL a mortise lock or a bored cylindrical lock, and what prep does the door need?
It is a bored cylindrical (tubular) lock, not a mortise lock. That means a round cross bore through the face of the door and an edge bore for the latch, drilled from the manufacturer's template, rather than the deep rectangular pocket a mortise lock needs. If the existing door is prepped for a mortise body, this is not a drop-in swap. Sargent publishes the DL Lever Lock installation instructions and a DL Series parts manual for the hole layout and the replacement parts.
16) Will a dummy lever work as a substitute for a privacy lock?
No. A dummy trim is a fixed pull with no latch behind it - the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim and the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim are both non-keyed dummy function, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered in half dummy as well as privacy. Dummy trim is for an inactive leaf or a closet face that latches by other means. The Sargent DL Series privacy lock is a cylindrical latching lock whose inside lever always retracts the latch and whose outside lever locks by inside push button. If the room needs to be secured from the inside, dummy trim will not do it.
17) Buyer wants a decorative privacy lever instead of a commercial one - what is the alternative?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose is the residential-decorative counterpart, and it is offered across the same door as a matched family: passage, privacy, and left- and right-hand half dummy. The Sargent DL Series privacy lock is a commercial Grade 1 lever set and reaches decorative territory a different way, through 16 finishes from bright brass through oil-rubbed dark bronze to black and white suede powder coat, 8 lever styles, and 4 rose options.
18) Can I standardize a whole floor on one lever family across privacy, passage, and classroom doors?
The Falcon K and T Series and the Dexter C1000 Series both run a Grade 1 line across functions - Falcon K101 passage and T101 passage in Grade 1 heavy duty, and Dexter C1000 in classroom, classroom security, entry/office, and asylum, all Grade 1. The Sargent DL Series covers the privacy/bedroom/bath doors in that mix at Grade 1, with 8 lever styles and 4 rose designs so the trim reads the same down the corridor. Choose the lever style and rose first, then hold it constant across the functions the floor needs.
19) Would a keypad lever set do the same job on a bathroom or private office door?
A keypad lever is a code-entry device, not a privacy device. The Delaney LP250 electronic keypad leverlock is Grade 2, the Lockey 1150 is a mechanical keypad lever set with double combination in passage function for 1 1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and Emtek offers a Classic keypad leverset. None of those give the occupant a one-touch inside lock. The Sargent DL Series privacy lock locks the outside lever from an inside push button with an emergency release outside, which is what a bath or private office door needs.
20) Which non-keyed lever locks are non-handed, so I do not have to stock left and right?
The Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock and the Falcon B101 Grade 2 passage lock are both built with non-handed levers, and the Sargent DL Series privacy lock is likewise a non-handed design. That matters for anyone carrying stock: one part number covers both swings. The trade is duty class - the Falcon B101 is Grade 2 medium duty, the Falcon K101 is Grade 1 heavy duty, and the Sargent DL Series is Grade 1 in the privacy function rather than passage.
21) I need a matching dummy lever for the inactive leaf of a pair, what do I use with a Sargent privacy set?
A dummy trim has no latch and no function, it just gives you a lever to pull on an inactive leaf, so it is a separate part from the privacy lock. Grade 1 dummy trim options include the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy cylindrical lever trim, with the BEST 7KC Series 1DT as the Grade 2 equivalent, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta as another Grade 1 single dummy lever.
