Sargent SGT-F183-164 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Sargent KESO F1-83-164 cylinder the right type for a rim exit device?
Yes. The F1-83-164 is a rim type removable core cylinder built for use with Sargent Exit Devices. Rim cylinders drive the device from the outside face of the door through a tailpiece, which is what a rim or surface vertical rod exit device needs. If the opening uses a mortise lock body instead, a rim cylinder won't work there, you need a mortise cylinder.
2) What comes in the box with a Sargent F1-83-164 cylinder ordered by itself?
Ordered separately, the cylinder ships with break-off screws and a back plate, which is the mounting set a rim cylinder needs on the door. You do not get the exit device, trim or keys cut to an existing system as part of that package.
3) Can I use temporary keys during construction and switch to the permanent key system later?
Yes. Order with the 84- prefix for construction keying. The jobsite runs on the temporary core, then the permanent F1-83- cores go in once the building is turned over. Because it is a removable core cylinder, that swap is done with a control key rather than pulling the cylinder out of the device.
4) Do I have to pick keying when I order a Sargent F1-83-164 cylinder?
Yes, keying is a required choice: Standard Keying, KD (keyed different) or KA (keyed alike). KD gives every opening its own key, which suits tenant doors. KA puts one key on a group of doors, which is what property managers usually want for a set of exterior or back-of-house exits on the same building.
5) Do I order the cylinder separately or with the Sargent exit device?
Both routes exist. Specify F1-83- with the hardware and the cylinder ships fitted to the device; order the cylinder on its own and it comes as a standalone unit with the break-off screws and back plate for field installation. Ordering with the hardware saves a step for new openings; standalone is the one you want for a cylinder swap or a rekey on devices already hung.
6) What does the KESO F1 removable core system do for rekeying a building?
The KESO F1 system lets a core be pulled and replaced for rekeying or to fold the opening into a master key system without taking the cylinder off the door or dismantling the exit device. For a facility standardizing across many openings, that means turnover on a tenant or a lost key is a core swap, not a hardware change.
7) Will a brass cylinder hold up on an exterior exit door?
The F1-83-164 is made in brass, bronze and stainless steel, so the material follows the finish you pick. For coastal or wash-down exposure, the stainless finishes (32, 32D) are the ones to specify for corrosion resistance; the plated brass finishes are better suited to interior and covered openings.
8) What finishes does the Sargent F1-83-164 rim cylinder come in?
Fourteen orderable finishes: 03 bright brass, 04 satin brass, 09 bright bronze, 10 satin bronze, 10B oil rubbed dark oxidized satin bronze, 10BE dark oxidized satin bronze, 10BL dark oxidized satin bronze clear coated, 14 bright nickel, 15 satin nickel, 20D dark statuary bronze, 32 bright stainless, 32D satin stainless, plus BSP black suede powder coat and WSP white suede powder coat. 32D is the usual match for stainless exit devices; 10B is the common pick where the rest of the opening is oil rubbed bronze.
9) Is this cylinder meant for commercial doors or will it work on a house?
It is a commercial part. The F1-83-164 is specified for commercial openings, typically exit devices in offices, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential and government buildings. A residential entry door with a standard deadbolt has no use for a rim exit device cylinder.
10) Why does this cylinder use break-off screws?
The break-off screws let the installer snap the mounting screws to the right length for the door and cylinder combination on site rather than stocking multiple screw lengths, and they seat flush behind the device. They ship with the cylinder along with the back plate when it is ordered on its own.
