Sargent SGT-RX-70-8200-12/24 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between fail-safe and fail-secure on the Sargent RX-70-8200 electrified mortise lock, and which one do I order?
Both are offered on the RX-70-8200, and the choice is about what the door does when power drops. Fail-safe unlocks the outside lever on power loss, which is what you use on a stair re-entry door or any opening tied into a fire alarm release. Fail-secure keeps the outside lever locked when power drops, which is the normal pick for a tenant suite, IT room, or storeroom where you never want the door free on an outage. Egress is not affected either way. The inside lever always retracts the latch mechanically. Pick the mode first, then the voltage (12V or 24V) and lever.
2) What does request to exit (RX) do on a Sargent 8200 electrified mortise lock and do I still need a separate motion sensor?
The RX switch is built into the lock body on the RX-70-8200, so turning the inside lever sends a signal to the access control panel that a legitimate exit happened. That shunts the door contact and stops the alarm firing on a normal egress, and it gives you a logged exit event. Because the switch is in the lock, you are not adding a ceiling-mounted request-to-exit motion sensor above the door for that function. You still run wire from the lock to the panel for the RX contact and for lock power.
3) Can the Sargent RX-70-8200 be used on a fire rated door?
Yes. The 8200 electrified mortise lock is UL and cUL Listed and carries ANSI/UL 10C Positive Pressure Fire Test certification, so it can go on a labeled fire door assembly. One caution on function: a fail-safe lock unlocks the outside lever when power drops, which is not permitted on many fire door openings unless the release is specifically designed into the fire alarm scheme. On a fire rated opening where the door must stay secure, order fail-secure.
4) Does the Sargent RX-70-8200 come with a working cylinder, or do I need to order a core separately?
It ships with an SFIC disposable plastic core, not a keyed core. That plastic core is a placeholder so the lock functions on the door during construction. To key the opening you supply a small format interchangeable core in your own key system, which is the point of the design: a locksmith drops the permanent core in at turnover without pulling the lock apart. Budget a 6-pin or 7-pin SFIC per opening plus the control key when you price the job.
5) What is the closest alternative to the Sargent RX-70-8200 if I need a wired electrified mortise lock with request to exit?
The straight equivalent we carry is the Schlage 03A electric lock/unlock outside lever mortise lock, keyed outside, with request to exit and 12/24VDC operation, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors and heavy duty corridor function. Same idea: wired lock, RX switch in the body, dual voltage. The BEST 45HW Series wired electromechanical mortise lock also runs 12V/24V and is heavy duty. Choose on the key system you are already standardized to, since all three are wired locks fed from a panel rather than standalone battery units.
6) Should I use a wired electrified mortise lock like the Sargent RX-70-8200 or a standalone keypad mortise lock?
It comes down to whether you are running wire. The RX-70-8200 is a wired lock: it needs 12V or 24V power to the door and a connection to an access control panel, and in exchange you get central credential management, live lock and unlock, and the RX signal reporting egress back to the head end. If there is no panel and no appetite to pull wire through a frame, a standalone unit is the better answer. We carry the BEST 45HZ EZ Series electronic keypad mortise lock with key override, and the Alarm Lock DL3500CR Trilogy, a Grade 1 classroom-function keypad lock holding 300 user codes for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors. Those manage codes at the door instead of from a server.
7) Is the Sargent RX-70-8200 a mortise lock or a bored cylindrical lock, and what prep does my door need?
Mortise. The lock body drops into a rectangular pocket cut into the edge of the door, with cross-bores for the cylinder and the lever spindle through the face. It is not a substitute for a bored cylindrical lock and it will not go into a 2-1/8 inch cross-bore prep, so a door prepped for a cylindrical lockset needs a new mortise pocket or a different lock. Sargent publishes a 7800 and 8200 mortise lock installation template covering all sectional rose and escutcheon trims, and that is the sheet to hand your door supplier when you order the doors prepped.
8) What else do I need to order to finish an opening with a Sargent RX-70-8200 electrified mortise lock?
Three things beyond the lock. First, an SFIC core in your key system, since the lock arrives with a disposable plastic core only. Second, a way to get power across the gap, which on a wired mortise lock means an electric hinge or a door loop plus a 12V or 24V supply matched to the voltage you ordered. Third, the connection to your access control panel for the RX contact. The strike and lever trim come as part of the lock build, and the lock is pre-assembled out of the box, so there is no trim kit to specify separately.
9) Is a keypad mortise lock a substitute for the Sargent RX-70-8200?
Not for the same job. Keypad locks such as the BEST 45HZ EZ Series electronic keypad mortise lock with key override, the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock, and the Accentra NTM623-NR nexTouch Generation 3 mortise lock with capacitive touchscreen keypad and cylinder override grant access at the door from a code entered on the lock itself. The Sargent RX-70-8200 takes its lock and unlock command from an external system over 12V or 24V and reports request to exit back to that system, so it belongs on openings controlled by a head end rather than at the keypad.
10) What is the closest equivalent to the Sargent RX-70-8200 electrified mortise lock from another manufacturer?
The Schlage 03A electric lock/unlock outside lever mortise lock is the closest match. It is keyed outside, has request to exit, and runs on 12/24VDC, the same electric-lever-control plus RX arrangement the Sargent RX-70-8200 provides with power ON operation that locks and unlocks the outside lever. The Schlage is a heavy duty corridor function for 1-3/4 inch doors, while the Sargent is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder mortise lock offered in 12V and 24V.
11) Is there another wired 12V/24V electromechanical mortise lock besides the Sargent RX-70-8200?
Yes. The BEST 45HW Series is a wired electromechanical mortise lock with 12V/24V operation, rated heavy duty, so it covers the same dual-voltage wired hookup. The Sargent RX-70-8200 adds request to exit signaling and Ecoflex Technology that cuts power draw by up to 96 percent as certified by GreenCircle, which matters when many openings share one power supply.
12) I need the lock to fail in the opposite state - what are my options besides ordering a different Sargent?
The Sargent RX-70-8200 is ordered as either Fail-Safe or Fail-Secure, so the state is chosen at the time of order rather than in the field. If you want that choice left open, the Command Access ML190 Series motorized mortise lock has field selectable EL/EU operation and runs on 24VDC in a heavy-duty storeroom function.
13) What should I use instead of a wired electrified mortise lock if I cannot run power to the door?
Standalone and wireless mortise locks avoid the wire pull that the Sargent RX-70-8200 needs for its 12V or 24V supply. The Schlage CO-100 is a standalone electronic mortise lock with a keypad reader, Grade 1 heavy duty, privacy function for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Alarm Lock DL3500CR Trilogy is a Grade 1 electronic mortise lock with 300 user codes in classroom function for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors. For a wireless credential system, the Schlage LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and a 3 hour fire rating.
14) What looks like a mortise lock substitute but will not work on a standard swinging commercial door?
Several mortise-family parts serve openings the Sargent RX-70-8200 does not. The Kaba Ilco BR Series is a glass door bottom rail lock, the Alarm Lock DL1300NW Trilogy Networx wireless electronic mortise lock is built for Adams Rite deadlatches, and the Marks USA 21AC and 22AC are ornamental iron mortise locks for 1 inch doors. The Emtek 3019 Brisbane, 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton and 3106 Manhattan mortise entrance locksets are dummy function, so they have no latching or locking action at all.
15) Is the Sargent RX-70-8200 mortise lock Grade 1, and is it heavy enough for a school or hospital corridor?
Grade 1 on both counts. The 8200 electrified mortise lock is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000, Operational Grade 1 and Security Grade 1, with all standard trims, and it is catalogued as heavy duty commercial. That is the level specified for high-traffic institutional corridors, healthcare, and education openings. A mortise lock body also puts the latch and the electrification inside a pocket in the door edge rather than through a bored hole, which is why spec writers call for it on doors that get thousands of cycles a week.
16) Does the Sargent 8200 electrified mortise lock have to be ordered handed, or can it be re-handed in the field?
Handing is not a hard order decision here. The patented construction lets you re-hand the 8200 without removing parts or opening the lock case, so a lock delivered for the wrong swing can be corrected at the door instead of returned. That matters on a multi-door job where the swing schedule changes late. Levers and roses are the same either way, so you are only reversing the latch orientation.
17) Which lever and rose styles can I get on the Sargent RX-70-8200 electrified mortise lock?
Four lever designs are offered, B, J, L and P, all on the LN rose at 2 inches (51mm) and all in 26D satin chromium plated over nickel. That is the full set of trim combinations on this lock, so if you are standardizing a building and the other openings already carry a Sargent lever, matching is a matter of picking the same letter. The LN rose is the round sectional rose rather than an escutcheon plate, so it covers a smaller footprint on the door face.
18) I want credentials at the door without running wire to a panel. What should I look at instead of the Sargent RX-70-8200?
A wireless or RFID mortise lock is the move. The Schlage LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and a 3 hour fire rating in Greenwich trim, right hand. The TownSteel FME-2000 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with RFID for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both read a card at the door rather than depending on a wired run back to a panel. The trade-off against the Sargent is batteries and no live wired lock/unlock or hardwired RX contact.
19) How much power does the Sargent Ecoflex 8200 draw compared to a normal electrified mortise lock, and does that change my power supply sizing?
Ecoflex cuts power consumption by up to 96 percent versus conventional electrified operation, certified by GreenCircle. On a single door that is a footnote. Across a floor of twenty or thirty locks off shared supplies it changes the design: far less current per opening means more doors per power supply and smaller battery backup to hold the same standby time. If you are retrofitting into an existing panel that is already near capacity, this is the reason to specify the 70 prefix rather than a standard electrified 8200 body.
20) Do I need an electrified mortise lock, or will a mechanical Grade 1 mortise lock do the job?
If the opening does not tie into an access control system, a mechanical Grade 1 mortise lock is the simpler build. The Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series, the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a heavy duty Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Sargent RX-70-8200 is the choice when the outside lever has to be locked and unlocked electrically and the system needs a request to exit signal back from the door.
21) Which electronic mortise locks are Grade 2 rather than Grade 1?
The Schlage Electronics LEBMB-ADD mobile-enabled mortise lock is Grade 2 with a 3 hour fire rating for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dormakaba LX-I-M002 Saffire electronic RFID mortise lockset with BLE mobile access is BHMA Grade 2. The Sargent RX-70-8200 carries ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000 Operational Grade 1 and Security Grade 1 with all standard trims, which is the level usually written into commercial and institutional specifications.
22) For a classroom door that needs lockdown, is an electrified lever lock the right choice or is there a better option?
For a classroom opening secured from inside the room, purpose-built classroom and intruder functions cover it directly. The TownSteel FME-4000 Series is a heavy duty Grade 1 electronic intruder classroom mortise lockset with RFID technology for 1-3/4 inch doors, the BEST 45HCAINL is a heavy duty mortise lockbody with intruder function, and the Marks USA LA318GJ is a Grade 1 classroom security indicator mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Sargent RX-70-8200 controls the outside lever from a central system rather than from a teacher at the door.
23) What is the difference between the Sargent RX-70-8200 and a card reader mortise lock like the Dormakaba E-Plex E5086?
The Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 is a Grade 1 entry/egress electronic pushbutton and card lock in a back to back mortise configuration, so the credential is read at the lock. The Sargent RX-70-8200 is a single cylinder electrified mortise lock whose outside lever is locked and unlocked by an external system, with request to exit reported back, and it ships SFIC core ready with a disposable plastic core for the mechanical key side.
24) What mortise lockset should I specify for a behavioral health or ligature resistant opening instead of a lever lock?
For anti-ligature openings, the TownSteel MRX-A-01 is a satin stainless steel ligature resistant arch trim mortise lockset, heavy duty Grade 1 passage for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the TownSteel MRX-L-01 is a stainless steel Grade 1 heavy duty anti-ligature lever mortise lockset in passage function. 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. The Sargent RX-70-8200 uses a lever handle, which is not an anti-ligature trim.
25) What finish does the Sargent RX-70-8200 come in, and will it match my other door hardware?
One finish only: 26D, satin chromium plated over nickel. That is the standard satin chrome you see on almost every commercial opening, and it reads the same as the satin stainless trim on closers, exit devices, and hinges on most institutional jobs. If your building is standardized on a brass, bronze, or black finish, this lock will not match and you would be looking at a different Sargent build.
26) What is the difference between the Sargent 7800 and 8200 mortise lock series?
They are two mortise families Sargent documents together, and the 8200 is the one in play here: the RX-70-8200 is built on the 8200 Series collection with Grade 1 operational and security certification. Sargent publishes a combined 7800/8200 mortise lock catalog and a shared installation template covering both series with all sectional rose and escutcheon trims, so the door prep sheet is common between them. If a spec on your drawings calls out a 7800 function, the prep will carry over, but the electrified request-to-exit build described here is the 8200.
27) I only need a latch on the door with no locking or electrification - what mortise lock should I order?
For openings that just need to latch, the Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 passage latch mortise lock, non-keyed, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3810S 3800 Series is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with rose and a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches. The Sargent RX-70-8200 is heavy duty and non-keyed as supplied but carries the electrified lever control and request to exit hardware that a plain passage opening has no use for.
