Sargent 28-10XG70 BHW Electric Lockset Fail Safe, Cylindrical Lockset, Grade 1 Heavy Duty
Function Information:
The Sargent 28-10XG70 BHW is a high-performance Electrified Grade 1 Cylindrical Lockset designed for seamless integration with electronic access control systems. Built on the industry-leading Sargent 10X Line chassis, this lockset is engineered to withstand extreme physical abuse while providing the specialized safety of a Fail Safe (70) function. The BHW trim offers a safety-focused, tapered profile, making it the premier choice for healthcare facilities, high-traffic commercial offices, and institutional buildings that prioritize both security and life safety.
Critical Fail Safe Electromechanical Function
The 10XG70 function is specifically designed for openings where life safety and immediate emergency egress are the highest priorities.
- Fail Safe Mode (Power-to-Lock): When power is removed—whether due to a fire alarm activation, power outage, or emergency signal—the outside lever automatically unlocks. This ensures that emergency responders or occupants can move through the building without a key during a crisis.
- Continuous Monitoring Compatibility: This electrified chassis works perfectly with card readers, biometric scanners, and remote release buttons.
- Constant Free Egress: The inside lever always allows for immediate exit, maintaining strict compliance with NFPA 101 Life Safety Codes and international building regulations.
BHW Trim: Safety-Focused Architectural Design
The BHW lever style is part of Sargent’s architectural suite, featuring a streamlined, tapered design that minimizes risks while maintaining a professional aesthetic.
- Ligature-Resistant Features: The sloped surfaces of the BHW lever are engineered to reduce attachment points, making it a cost-effective and safety-conscious choice for behavioral health and patient-care environments.
- Extreme Durability: The Sargent 10X series is UL-verified to exceed 20 million cycles, outperforming the Grade 1 industry standard by 20 times. It is built to withstand 3,100 in-lb of abusive torque and 1,600 lbs of offset pull.
- Independent Return Springs: High-strength springs inside the rose prevent lever sag, ensuring the hardware remains perfectly level and functional for the life of the building.
Key Product Features
- Fail Safe (70): Power-off unlocks the exterior lever; ideal for stairwell doors and fire-rated exit paths.
- EcoFlex® Technology: High-efficiency actuator reduces power consumption by up to 92%, allowing for more locks per power supply and lower operating costs.
- Integrated Connectivity: Features the Sargent ElectroLynx® 8-Pin Connector (QC8) for a standardized, "plug-and-play" installation process.
- ADA & Life Safety: The ergonomic BHW lever meets all accessibility requirements and is UL/cUL Listed for 3-hour fire-rated doors.
- Vandal Resistant: Built to survive 100 vertical impacts, ensuring the internal electromechanical components remain protected.
- Severe Weather Rated: Certified for windstorm and hurricane resistance, including Florida Building Code compliance.
