Sargent KP8279-LNB-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Sargent KP-8200 keypad lock handed, or will one unit work on both left and right doors?
Non-handed. One 8279 covers a left or right hand opening, which is what you want if you are stocking spares for a building instead of ordering per door. You still specify lever style, rose, finish, and the cylinder and keying options when you order.
2) Does the Sargent 8279 keypad lock need wiring or a control panel?
No wiring. It runs standalone on batteries with a motor-driven mortise lock body and microprocessor control, so there is no power transfer hinge, no reader wiring, no panel. Everything is programmed at the door on the keypad. If your project actually needs credentials managed centrally, a networked or wireless mortise lock like the Alarm Lock DL1300NW Trilogy Networx or the Schlage ENGAGE LEMD-GRW is the direction to go instead.
3) What is the difference between the Sargent 8279 entrance function and a classroom or storeroom keypad lock?
The 8279 is an entrance/office function: authorized users enter a code and the outside lever unlocks, and the lock can be left in a passage state for business hours. A classroom function keeps the outside lever locked and is changed only by an authorized code or key, which is what most schools spec. If classroom is what your drawing calls for, the Alarm Lock DL3500CR Trilogy or the TownSteel FME-2000 are Grade 1 electronic mortise locks in classroom function. For a storeroom door that should never sit unlocked, look at a storeroom-function mortise lock like the Cal-Royal NM8080.
4) What do I have to specify when ordering a Sargent KP-8200 keypad mortise lockset?
Four things beyond the function. Cylinder: standard, 60 for Sargent large format interchangeable core (less core), or 70 for small format interchangeable core (less core). Keying: keyed different, keyed alike, or a specific key code you supply, or none if you selected a less-core option. Lever: A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W. Rose: L or LN. Then the finish, in fourteen choices from 03 bright brass through 26D satin chrome plus black and white suede powder coat.
5) Will the Sargent 8279 keypad lock go into an existing 8200 mortise pocket?
Yes. It uses the Sargent 8200 Series mortise lock body, and the same 7800/8200 mortise lock installation template covers the sectional rose and escutcheon trims, so a door already prepped for a 7800 or 8200 mortise lock takes it. What changes is the outside trim: you are adding a keypad escutcheon, so confirm your existing trim cutout before you pull the old lock. A door prepped for a cylindrical lock is not a candidate.
6) I need a keypad mortise lock with a key override cylinder - what should I order instead of the Sargent 8279?
The 8279 configuration is the keypad entry lock without deadbolt and without cylinder override. When the opening needs a mechanical key as a backup, the BEST 45HZ EZ Series is an electronic keypad mortise lock with key override function, and the Accentra NTM623-NR nexTouch Generation 3 is a Grade 1 mortise lock with a capacitive touchscreen keypad, no deadbolt, with cylinder override. The Accentra unit uses a touchscreen rather than mechanical pushbuttons, which is worth confirming against the environment the lock will sit in.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Sargent 8279 keypad mortise lock from another manufacturer?
The Sargent 8279 is a standalone battery keypad mortise lockset built on a Grade 1 mortise body with an Entrance/Office function. The nearest peers that combine standalone keypad entry with a mortise body are the BEST 45HZ EZ Series electronic keypad mortise lock with key override, the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock, and the Schlage CO-100 standalone electronic mortise lock with keypad reader, which is Grade 1 and listed for 1-3/4 inch doors in a Privacy function. Match on function first: the Schlage CO-100 in that configuration is a privacy lock rather than an entrance lock, while the Sargent 8279 is an entrance opening device.
8) What is the difference between a Sargent 8279 keypad mortise lock and a mechanical Grade 1 mortise lockset like the Cal-Royal NM8050?
Both are Grade 1 mortise locksets in an entrance/office function, but the Sargent 8279 is electronic and keyed, with battery-powered motor-driven operation and user codes programmed at the keypad, while the Cal-Royal NM8050 is a heavy-duty Grade 1 office/entrance mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors and no electronics to power or program. Corbin Russwin ML2003 and Accentra 8805FL are the same kind of purely mechanical Grade 1 mortise choice in classroom and storeroom functions respectively. Where an opening only needs keyed access and no code management, the mechanical body removes the battery and programming from the maintenance picture.
9) Is there a networked or access-control-managed alternative to a standalone keypad mortise lock like the Sargent 8279?
The Sargent 8279 is a self-contained unit for openings needing basic authorized entry without external wiring or control panels, with all programming done at the keypad. If codes and audit need to be managed from a head end instead, the Alarm Lock DL1300NW Trilogy Networx is a wireless electronic mortise lock with keypad, and the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125 kHz proximity reader and mobile-enabled deadbolt. For hardwired electrified openings, the BEST 45HW is a wired electromechanical mortise lock running 12V or 24V, and the Command Access ML190 is a motorized mortise lock with field-selectable EL/EU operation on 24VDC - both of those require power to the door.
10) What keypad mortise lock should I use for a classroom door instead of the Sargent 8279?
The Sargent 8279 is an Entrance/Office function device, which is not a classroom function. For classroom openings with a keypad, the Alarm Lock DL2700CR Trilogy T2 and DL3500CR Trilogy are both Grade 1 electronic mortise locks in a classroom function for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, with the DL3500CR carrying 300 user codes and the DL2700CR built weatherproof. For classroom openings with credentials instead of a code, the TownSteel FME-2000 and FME-4000 are Grade 1 heavy-duty classroom mortise locksets with RFID technology for 1-3/4 inch doors, the FME-4000 in an electronic intruder classroom function.
11) Which mortise locks look like alternatives to the Sargent 8279 but will not work as an entry device?
Several mortise items in the same family are not entry hardware. The Schlage L0170 is half dummy trim, a Grade 1 non-keyed lever with no latching function, and the Emtek 3019 Brisbane, 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton and 3106 Manhattan mortise entrance locksets are all dummy function. The Schlage PM010 and Falcon MA101 are Grade 1 mortise units in a passage function, which latch but do not lock, and the Hager 3850E is an office mortise lock supplied non-keyed. The Sargent 8279 is a keyed electronic entrance device, so none of these substitute where controlled access is the requirement.
12) How often will I be changing batteries in a Sargent KP-8200 keypad lockset?
Rated at roughly 40,000 operations per battery set. On a door cycling 50 times a day that is a long service interval, which is the point of a standalone lock in a building where nobody is running wire. Codes survive the change, since programming is held in non-volatile memory.
13) Can I key a Sargent 8279 keypad lock into an existing interchangeable core master key system?
The 8279 itself has no cylinder override, so there is no core in the lock to key. The cylinder options on the KP-8200 order form (60 large format IC less core, 70 small format IC less core) are how the series accepts a facility's existing cores where the function includes an override. If you are standardizing a building on your IC system and you need every opening to accept a core, choose a KP-8200 function that includes cylinder override rather than the 8279.
14) Can a Sargent KP-8200 keypad lock go on an exterior door?
The keypad is a textured, UV-stable material that resists ultraviolet degradation, so sunlight exposure on an exterior or heavily daylit opening is accounted for. It is a commercial-rated lock. If your opening is genuinely weather-exposed, a lock specifically listed as weatherproof, such as the Alarm Lock DL2700CR Trilogy T2, is worth comparing.
15) What is a good alternative to the Sargent 8279 if I want card or mobile credentials instead of a keypad code?
The 8279 is code-entry only. For credentials, the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 mortise lockset with RFID, the Dormakaba Saffire LX-I-M002 is an RFID mortise lockset with Bluetooth mobile access, and the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader. The Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 combines pushbutton and card on a mortise lock if you want both.
16) I need to match keypad locks to the lever style already used on the rest of my building. What lever and finish options does the Sargent KP-8200 come in?
Eight lever designs (A, B, E, F, J, L, P, W) on either an L or LN rose, in fourteen finishes: 03 bright brass, 04 satin brass, 09 bright bronze, 10 satin bronze, 10B oil rubbed dark oxidized satin bronze, 10BE, 10BL, 14 bright nickel, 15 satin nickel, 20D dark statuary bronze, 26 bright chrome, 26D satin chrome, plus black and white suede powder coat. 26D is the usual commercial default if you are matching existing Sargent openings.
17) The opening needs a deadbolt as well as keypad entry - what takes the place of the Sargent 8279?
The 8279 is the keypad entry configuration with no deadbolt. Where the opening needs a thrown bolt, the Alarm Lock DL4500 Series is a Grade 1 electronic mortise deadbolt with 2,000 user codes and a privacy keypad for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the Kaba Ilco 185 Series is a non-handed mortise lock in a deadbolt function. The Schlage LEMD-GRW pairs a wireless proximity reader with a mobile-enabled deadbolt at Grade 1.
18) Can I use a card or mobile credential mortise lock in place of the Sargent 8279 keypad lock?
The Sargent 8279 authenticates by code entered on the keypad. Credential-based mortise alternatives include the Dormakaba LX-I-M002 Saffire, an electronic RFID mortise lockset with BLE mobile access at BHMA Grade 2, the Dormakaba E-Plex E5086, a Grade 1 entry/egress electronic pushbutton and card lock in a back-to-back mortise configuration, and the Schlage Electronics LEBMB-ADD, a Grade 2 mobile-enabled mortise lock with pushbutton and LED covering privacy, office and apartment functions with a 3 hour fire rating on 1-3/4 inch doors. Confirm the grade the specification calls for, since the Saffire and the LEBMB-ADD sit at Grade 2 while the 8279 is Grade 1.
19) Is a mortise lock body on its own an alternative to the Sargent 8279?
No. The Sargent 8279 is a complete keypad lockset with lever and rose trim and its own battery-powered control module. Items like the BEST 45H Series public entrance mortise lock body and the BEST 45HCA intruder function mortise lockbody are lock bodies, as are the Baldwin 6301 entry/apartment and 6310 entry/storeroom 2-1/2 inch backset mortise lock bodies. Those need trim specified separately and carry no keypad or electronics, so they replace the mechanical guts of an opening rather than the access control on it.
20) What is a lighter-duty keypad mortise option than the Sargent 8279?
The Sargent 8279 is a Grade 1 commercial mortise lockset. Where the opening does not carry commercial traffic, the Codelocks CL2255 is an electronic tubular mortise latch rated medium duty in a brushed steel finish. It is a latch rather than a Grade 1 mortise lock body, so it suits a lower-traffic interior door rather than a main entrance under an institutional specification.
21) Is there a keypad mortise lock that does not need batteries replaced like the Sargent 8279?
The Sargent 8279 runs on a battery pack giving roughly 40,000 operations per set. The Dormakaba PowerPlex P2066 Series mortise lock is the peer to look at when battery replacement is the objection, alongside the hardwired route: the BEST 45HW wired electromechanical mortise lock at 12V or 24V, or the Command Access ML190 motorized mortise lock at 24VDC with field-selectable EL/EU operation. The wired options need power run to the opening, which the standalone 8279 does not.
22) For a behavioral health or ligature-resistant opening, what mortise lockset is used instead of a keypad lock like the Sargent 8279?
A projecting keypad lever set is generally not what those openings take. The TownSteel MRX-A-01 is a Grade 1 heavy-duty ligature-resistant arch trim mortise lockset in satin stainless steel, the MRX-L-01 is the anti-ligature lever version at Grade 1 heavy duty, both for 1-3/4 inch doors in a passage function, and the Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset that is ligature resistant and ADA compliant in satin stainless steel. All three are passage function, so they control the door's operation rather than access to it.
23) What do the LED colors on a Sargent KP-8200 keypad mean?
Green means unlocked. Yellow means the lock is in programming mode. Flashing green with solid yellow means the deadbolt is thrown. Useful on a walkthrough, because you can read the state of the opening without entering a code.
24) Is there programming documentation for the Sargent KP-8200 keypad mortise lock?
Yes. Sargent publishes KP8200 keypad mortise lock programming instructions covering the code and option setup done at the door, plus the 7800/8200 mortise installation template for the door prep and trim. All programming is done on the keypad itself, with user-selectable options set to suit the opening, so no software or laptop is involved.
