Sargent 28-10XG17 BHW Institutional Lever Lockset
Function Information:

The Sargent 28-10XG17 BHW is an ultra-heavy-duty Grade 1 Cylindrical Lockset specifically engineered for high-security institutional environments such as correctional facilities, psychiatric wards, and high-abuse public spaces. As a premier model in the Sargent 10X Line, the 10XG17 features the Institutional Function (ANSI F87), which provides the highest level of keyed control for both sides of the opening. This lockset is designed to survive extreme physical attacks while maintaining the rigorous safety standards required by modern institutions.
Specialized Institutional Function (F87) Control
The Institutional Function is built for maximum restriction. Unlike standard commercial locks, both the interior and exterior levers are always locked and rigid.
- Double Cylinder Security: Entry and exit are controlled strictly by a key from either side.
- Rigid Lever Design: Both levers remain stationary unless the latch is retracted by a key, preventing unauthorized movement or "lever riding."
- High-Security Access: Ideal for areas where movement between zones must be strictly monitored and authorized by staff.
The BHW Trim: Safety-Focused Engineering
The BHW lever design on this model is a tapered, architectural style that provides a "normative" look while offering significant safety advantages.
- Ligature-Resistant Profile: The sloped surfaces of the BHW lever are designed to reduce attachment points, making it a preferred choice for behavioral health and institutional "Environment of Care" applications.
- Ultimate Abuse Resistance: The Sargent 10X series is UL-verified to exceed 20 million cycles, outperforming standard Grade 1 hardware by 20 times. It is engineered to withstand 3,100 in-lb of abusive torque and 1,600 lbs of offset pull.
- Independent Return Springs: Heavy-duty springs within the rose assembly prevent lever sag, ensuring the BHW levers remain perfectly horizontal throughout the life of the product.
Key Product Features
- Institutional Function (F87): Both levers are rigid; key is required for operation from both sides.
- Extreme Performance: Tested to 20 million cycles, ensuring the lowest total cost of ownership in high-abuse corridors.
- ADA & Fire Rated: The BHW lever meets all accessibility requirements and the unit is UL/cUL Listed for 3-hour fire-rated doors.
- Superior Latching: Features a stainless steel deadlocking latch with a 1/2" throw to resist physical tampering, shimming, and loiding.
- Severe Weather Certified: Windstorm and Hurricane rated, meeting the most stringent Florida Building Code and Miami-Dade requirements.
