Sargent 28-10XG04 BHW Storeroom Lever Lockset, Cylindrical Lockset
Function Information:
The Sargent 28-10XG04 BHW is a premier Grade 1 Cylindrical Lockset engineered for high-security environments requiring constant access control. As a flagship model in the Sargent 10X Line, this hardware is built to survive extreme abuse in schools, hospitals, and government facilities. The Storeroom Function (ANSI F86) ensures the exterior lever is always rigid and locked, requiring a key for entry, while the interior lever always allows for immediate, unhindered egress.
High-Performance BHW Lever Design
This model features the BHW lever style, an architectural and ergonomic design that provides a comfortable grip without sacrificing durability. The BHW lever is fully ADA compliant and is supported by heavy-duty independent return springs. These springs prevent lever sag, ensuring the hardware remains perfectly level and professional-looking even after decades of high-frequency use.
Unrivaled Mechanical Strength and Vandal Resistance
While standard Grade 1 locks are tested to 1 million cycles, the Sargent 10X line is UL-verified to exceed 20 million cycles—providing 20 times the service life of ordinary commercial locks.
- Extreme Abuse Resistance: Engineered to withstand 3,100 in-lb of abusive torque and 1,600 lbs of offset lever pull.
- Freewheeling Lever Technology: The outside handle rotates freely when locked, preventing vandals from using a pipe or wrench to snap the internal mechanism.
- High-Impact Chassis: Designed to survive 100 vertical impacts, significantly outperforming ANSI/BHMA A156.2 requirements.
