Sargent 28-10XG71 BHW Electric Lockset Fail Secure, Cylindrical Lockset, Grade 1 Heavy Duty
Function Information:
The Sargent 28-10XG71 BHW is a state-of-the-art Electrified Grade 1 Cylindrical Lockset designed for high-security applications where remote access control is mandatory. As part of the elite Sargent 10X Line, this lockset is engineered to exceed industry standards for durability and strength by up to 20 times. The Fail Secure (71) function ensures that the door remains locked from the outside when power is removed, providing a reliable physical barrier for sensitive areas like server rooms, evidence storage, and high-value commercial suites.
Advanced Fail Secure Electromechanical Function
The 10XG71 function is a specialized electrified solution that integrates seamlessly with card readers, keypads, and other access control systems.
- Fail Secure Mode: In the event of a power outage or system failure, the outside lever remains locked. Entry is only possible via a physical key or when power is restored to the unit.
- Safety & Egress: Regardless of the power status, the inside lever always allows for constant free egress, ensuring full compliance with fire and life safety codes.
- EcoFlex® Technology: This model utilizes EcoFlex technology, which reduces energy consumption by up to 92% compared to standard electrified locks, making it ideal for large-scale facilities.
BHW Trim: Safety-Focused Architectural Design
The BHW lever style is a hallmark of the Sargent Behavioral Health Series, providing a streamlined and safety-conscious profile without the institutional look of traditional security hardware.
- Ligature-Resistant Features: The tapered surfaces of the BHW lever are designed to reduce attachment points, making it a cost-effective choice for therapeutic environments and high-traffic healthcare corridors.
- Extreme Abuse Resistance: Built to withstand 3,100 in-lb of abusive torque and 1,600 lbs of offset pull, protecting your access control system from physical tampering.
- 20 Million Cycle Rating: UL-verified to exceed 20 million cycles, providing the lowest total cost of ownership for any electrified bored lock in the market.
