Sargent RX-8270-24V-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between fail-safe and fail-secure on the Sargent RX-827 electrified mortise lock?
Both configurations are offered on the RX-827, and the choice is made when you order. This is a Power ON device: applying power locks and unlocks the outside lever. Fail-safe means the lever unlocks when power drops, which is what you specify on egress paths and stair doors where people have to get out during a power failure. Fail-secure keeps the lever locked when power drops, which is what most tenant suites, storerooms and IT rooms want so a power loss does not open the building. The lock body itself is the same either way, so get the configuration right on the order, because you cannot flip it in the field.
2) Does the Sargent RX-827 mortise lock run on 12V or 24V?
Both. The RX-827 lock body is ordered as either a 12V or a 24V unit, in fail-safe or fail-secure. Match the voltage to the power supply and access control panel output you already have on the opening, since it is a build option and not field selectable. If you need one lock that can be set either way in the field, the Command Access ML190 Series motorized mortise lock is a 24VDC unit with field selectable EL/EU operation, and the BEST 45HW wired electromechanical mortise lock is listed for 12V/24V operation.
3) What does the RX in Sargent RX-827 mean, and do I still need a separate request-to-exit switch?
RX is request to exit, and it is built into the lock. The RX-827 signals your access control panel when the inside lever is turned, so a legitimate exit does not trip the door forced or door held alarm. You do not need to add a separate REX motion sensor or exit switch at the opening for that function. You still run the wiring to the panel and you still need a way to get the signal across the frame, which means an electric hinge or a door loop.
4) Is the Sargent RX-827 a complete lockset or just the lock body?
Body only. The RX-827 is the electrified mortise lock body, so levers, roses or escutcheons, and the cylinder are ordered separately. It is a single cylinder design built for lever trim, and it is not supplied keyed, so the cylinder and keying are specified on your side to match the rest of the building. If you would rather buy one complete electronic lockset with trim and reader included, the TownSteel FME-2000 Series Grade 1 RFID mortise lockset and the Schlage CO-100 standalone electronic mortise lock ship as full locksets.
5) Can the Sargent RX-827 mortise lock be used on a fire rated door?
Yes. The RX-827 is UL and cUL listed and carries ANSI/UL 10C positive pressure fire test certification for door assemblies, so it is acceptable on a rated opening. Note that a fail-safe configuration unlocks the lever on power loss; the door still latches and the assembly stays rated, but confirm the fail-safe or fail-secure choice against what the life safety drawings call for on that particular door.
6) Is the Sargent RX-827 handed, or can I re-hand it on the job?
It re-hands in the field. The RX-827 is designed to be re-handed without removing parts or opening the lock case, so one lock body covers left and right hand openings and you are not stuck if the door swing on site does not match the drawing. That also means a contractor can stock a single body across a floor of mixed swings. If field reversibility matters and you want a mechanical body instead of an electrified one, the BEST 45H Series heavy duty mortise body is also field reversible.
7) Is the Sargent RX-827 Grade 1, and is it heavy enough for a school or hospital corridor?
The RX-827 carries ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000 Operational Grade 1 and Security Grade 1 with all standard trims, and it is a heavy duty commercial lock. That is the top mortise rating and the right specification for high traffic institutional corridors, healthcare, and multi-tenant residential. For a facility standardizing on one platform, note that the mechanical siblings in the same 8200 Series family share the case, so electrified and non-electrified openings look and feel the same across the building.
8) What is the closest equivalent to the Sargent RX-827 from another brand?
The Schlage L9092EU with RX is the direct counterpart: electric lock and unlock of the outside lever, keyed outside, request to exit, 12/24VDC, heavy duty, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. That is the same function on the same kind of opening. The BEST 45HW wired electromechanical mortise lock is another 12V/24V heavy duty option, and the Command Access ML190 Series is a motorized 24VDC mortise lock with field selectable EL/EU. If you are replacing an existing Sargent 8200 body and want the building to stay on one keyway and one trim standard, staying with the RX-827 keeps the cylinder and lever hardware consistent.
9) Which electrified mortise lock should I use if I want to pick fail-safe or fail-secure in the field instead of ordering it one way?
The Command Access ML190 series motorized mortise lock is field selectable between EL and EU operation and runs on 24VDC, so one part number covers either power-off behavior on a heavy-duty storeroom opening. The Sargent RX-827 is ordered as either a fail-safe or a fail-secure build and in 12V or 24V, and it adds Ecoflex Technology that reduces power consumption by up to 96 percent along with integrated request to exit.
10) What is a simpler alternative to the Sargent RX-827 if the door does not need to be wired to an access control system?
For an unwired opening, a mechanical Grade 1 mortise lock covers it. The Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 series with an Arcadia lever, and the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset in the ML2000 series for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both work purely on key and lever. The Sargent RX-827 is an electromechanical lock body that locks and unlocks the outside lever when power is applied and reports request to exit back to the system, which only pays off when there is a credential reader or panel behind it.
11) I need keypad access on the door instead of running it off a panel. What replaces the Sargent RX-827?
A standalone electronic mortise lock puts the credential on the door itself. The Alarm Lock DL3500CR Trilogy is a Grade 1 classroom function electronic mortise lock holding 300 user codes for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the BEST 45HZ EZ series is an electronic keypad mortise lock with key override. The Sargent RX-827 has no reader of its own: it is a lock body whose outside lever is locked and unlocked by applied power, with request to exit wired back to the access control system, and it is offered in 12V and 24V.
12) Which mortise locks look like substitutes for the Sargent RX-827 but will not do the same job?
Several electronic mortise locks read as equivalents and are not. The Dormakaba LX-I-M002 Saffire is an RFID mortise lockset with BLE mobile access but is BHMA Grade 2, while the Sargent RX-827 carries ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000 Operational and Security Grade 1. The Schlage LEBMB-ADD is a Grade 2 mobile-enabled mortise lock in privacy, office and apartment functions. The Alarm Lock DL4500 is a Grade 1 electronic mortise deadbolt, a bolt with a privacy keypad rather than a lever the panel controls. The Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 is a pushbutton keyless lock for wide stile doors. None of these take a lock or unlock signal on the outside lever from an access control panel with request to exit reporting the way the RX-827 does.
13) What is Ecoflex technology on the Sargent RX-827 and does it change my power supply sizing?
Ecoflex is Sargent's patented electromechanical design that cuts power draw by up to 96%, certified by GreenCircle. On a job with a dozen or more electrified openings that matters, because the current each lock holds is what drives your power supply size and your battery backup runtime. Lower standby draw means more doors on the same supply and longer standby on batteries. Confirm the actual current capacity against your supply before you wire it in.
14) Should I use an electrified mortise lock like the RX-827 or a standalone keypad or card lock?
An electrified mortise body like the RX-827 is the right call when the opening is wired back to an access control panel: the panel makes the access decision, the lock just locks and unlocks the outside lever, and the built-in request to exit reports every legitimate exit back to the head end. Choose a standalone unit instead when there is no panel and no cabling, and you only need codes or credentials at the door. Standalone options include the Alarm Lock DL3500CR Trilogy with 300 user codes, the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 pushbutton keyless mortise lock, and the Schlage CO-100 keypad mortise lock. Wireless is the middle ground, where the Schlage LEMD ENGAGE Series proximity mortise lock and the Alarm Lock DL1300NW Trilogy Networx report back over a wireless link instead of a home run cable.
15) Will the Sargent RX-827 work if I only need a mechanical storeroom or classroom lock with no power at the door?
No. The RX-827 is an electromechanical lock that needs power and wiring to the door to operate the outside lever, so it is the wrong part for an opening with no cabling. For a mechanical Grade 1 mortise lock, look at the Accentra 8805FL storeroom lock, the Cal-Royal NM8070 classroom or NM8080 storeroom lockset, or the Corbin Russwin ML2003 Grade 1 classroom lockset. Those give you the same mortise case format on the door without any power supply, panel or wiring work.
16) How much prep work is involved in installing a Sargent RX-827 on an existing mortise pocket?
The lock ships pre-assembled, which keeps the door work short: the case drops into a standard mortise pocket, you re-hand it in place if the swing calls for it, and you land the wiring. The real scope on a retrofit is electrical, not carpentry. You need power at the frame at the correct voltage, an electric hinge or door loop to carry conductors across the gap, and a run back to the access control panel. Kill the power before you start, follow the manufacturer wiring diagrams for gauge and connectors, then test normal operation and the request to exit signal at the head end before you close it up.
17) Is the BEST 45HW the same thing as the Sargent RX-827?
They are the same category of part but not identical. The BEST 45HW is a wired electromechanical mortise lock rated heavy duty with 12V/24V operation, matching the RX-827's 12V and 24V options and its heavy duty rating. The Sargent RX-827 is specifically the lock body with Power ON operation on the outside lever plus integrated request to exit, ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000 Operational and Security Grade 1, and Ecoflex Technology that cuts power consumption by up to 96 percent. If the drawing calls out an RX signal from the lock, confirm the 45HW is specified with that feature before swapping.
18) Will a wireless mortise lock work in place of the Sargent RX-827 so I do not have to run wire and a door cord?
For a retrofit where pulling power to the frame is the problem, the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and a 3 hour fire rating, and the Alarm Lock DL1300NW Trilogy Networx is a wireless electronic mortise lock with keypad for Adams Rite deadlatches. The Sargent RX-827 is a wired electromechanical body running at 12V or 24V, and its Ecoflex Technology reduces power consumption by up to 96 percent, which matters on runs where the power supply is already loaded.
19) The opening is a behavioral health or hospital room, not an access controlled corridor. What mortise lock fits instead of the Sargent RX-827?
Those openings call for ligature resistant trim. The TownSteel MRX-L-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty anti-ligature lever mortise lockset in stainless steel with passage function for 1-3/4 inch doors, the MRX-A-01 is the arch trim passage version in satin stainless, 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. The Sargent RX-827 is a lever-operated electromechanical lock body controlled by applied power, so it is built around a standard lever trim rather than anti-ligature hardware.
20) Can I use a Baldwin or Emtek mortise lock body in place of the Sargent RX-827?
No. The Baldwin 6310 is an entrance/storeroom mortise lock body with a 2-1/2 inch backset for doors 1-3/8 inch and over, and the 6301 is the entrance/apartment version for 1-3/4 inch and over, both purely mechanical. The Emtek Brisbane 3019 and Manhattan 3106 mortise entrance locksets are dummy function, meaning no latch action at all. The Sargent RX-827 is a commercial electromechanical lock body carrying ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000 Operational and Security Grade 1 with UL and cUL listing and ANSI/UL 10C positive pressure fire test certification, which is what a commercial opening on an access control system is specified against.
21) What card reader mortise lock covers the same opening as the Sargent RX-827 when the customer wants credentials at the door?
The Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 is a Grade 1 entry/egress electronic pushbutton and card lock in a back to back mortise configuration, and the Accentra NTM623-NR nexTouch Generation 3 is a Grade 1 mortise lock with a capacitive touchscreen keypad, no deadbolt, with cylinder override. Both put the credential on the lock. The Sargent RX-827 keeps the credential on a separate reader and takes lock and unlock commands on the outside lever at 12V or 24V, with request to exit fed back to the panel, and its Ecoflex Technology reduces power draw by up to 96 percent.
22) What finish does the Sargent RX-827 electrified mortise lock come in?
26D, satin chromium plated over nickel, across every fail-safe, fail-secure, 12V and 24V build. That is the standard satin chrome look found on most commercial openings, so it matches typical institutional lever trim and exit hardware already in the building. Since this is the lock body, the visible finish on the door comes from the lever and rose or escutcheon you pair with it, so specify those in 26D as well if you want the opening to match.
23) Is there a battery powered mortise lock alternative to the Sargent RX-827 for a door with no power available?
The Dormakaba PowerPlex P2066 mortise lock is the option built around not running power to the door. The Sargent RX-827 requires a 12V or 24V supply because the outside lever locks and unlocks on applied power, though its Ecoflex Technology reduces power consumption by up to 96 percent as certified by GreenCircle, which eases the load on an existing supply if power can be reached.
24) If the opening only needs a latch with no locking at all, what do I order instead of the Sargent RX-827?
A passage mortise lock covers it. The Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage latch mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock with field reversible operation and a fire rating, and the Hager 3810S 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 inch. The Sargent RX-827 is a heavy duty electromechanical body whose outside lever is controlled by applied power, so it only earns its cost where the door is actually secured and monitored.
