Sargent 65G05 KL Cylindrical Lockset — Office & Entrance Function

The Sargent 65G05 KL is a professional-grade Grade 2 Cylindrical Lockset designed to provide flexible security for commercial offices, retail spaces, and multi-family housing. As a key component of the Sargent 6500 Series, this lockset is engineered to exceed the rigorous demands of ANSI/BHMA standards, offering a "standard duty" solution that performs with "heavy duty" reliability. Packaged with a 4-7/8" ANSI Strike (#808), the industry standard for commercial hollow metal frames, while the KL design pairs the ergonomic L-lever with the architectural K-rose for a modern, linear aesthetic.

Balanced Security and Convenience

The 05 Office / Entrance Function (ANSI F109) is one of the most versatile configurations in commercial hardware, offering two distinct locking modes to suit the daily flow of your facility.

• Push-Button Locking: Pressing the button on the interior lever locks the exterior lever. It is quickly released by turning the inside lever or using a key from the outside—ideal for preventing accidental lockouts.
  
• Turn-Button Security: Rotating the interior button keeps the exterior lever locked even when the door is closed or the interior lever is turned. This mode requires a manual turn-button release, perfect for maintaining a secure "restricted" state for extended periods.
  
• Deadlocking Protection: Features a deadlocking latchbolt that prevents "shimming" or unauthorized manipulation when the door is closed.
  
• Universal Handing: The non-handed design allows for seamless field installation on both left-hand and right-hand swinging doors without adjustment.
  

Engineered for Institutional Performance

While positioned as a Grade 2 lock, the Sargent 6500 Series is built with structural enhancements that allow it to excel in environments where lesser hardware fails.

• Exceeds Grade 2 Requirements: Tested beyond the 400,000-cycle industry standard to ensure a longer life cycle in medium-traffic offices and public buildings.
  
• Hurricane & Windstorm Rated: Certified to comply with strict Florida Building Codes (FL# 2998) and TAS standards, proving its structural integrity under extreme pressure.
  
• Corrosion Resistance: The cylindrical housing is constructed of steel with a zinc dichromate finish to protect internal mechanisms from environmental wear.
  
• ADA Compliant Design: The linear L-lever provides an ergonomic grip that allows for operation without tight grasping or twisting, meeting all Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility standards.
