Sargent 28-7G04 LB Storeroom Lever Lockset
Function Information:
The Sargent 28-7G04 LB is an industrial-grade Grade 2 Cylindrical Storeroom Lock specifically engineered for high-security applications where doors must remain permanently locked to unauthorized entry. As a core component of the Sargent 7-Line Series, this lockset is designed for mechanical rooms, janitorial closets, and IT suites that demand 24/7 restricted access. The 28-prefix indicates the inclusion of the 808 Curved Lip ANSI Strike, while the LB design combines the straight, professional B-lever with the sleek, contemporary L-rosette for an architectural finish.
Maximum Security and Restricted Access
The 04 Storeroom Function (ANSI F86) is designed to eliminate human error by ensuring the door is always secure.
- Permanently Locked Exterior: The outside lever is always rigid. Entrance is only possible by using a physical key to retract the latchbolt. The door relocks automatically the moment the key is removed.
- Fail-Safe Interior Egress: The inside lever is always free for immediate exit. This ensures 100% compliance with NFPA 101 Life Safety codes, preventing anyone from being locked inside.
- Deadlocking Protection: Features a 1/2" throw brass latch with a deadlocking auxiliary bolt to prevent "shimming" or unauthorized manipulation from the corridor side.
- Solid Cast Construction: The B-levers are solid, one-piece castings, providing a substantial, precise feel and far superior durability compared to hollow or stamped alternatives.
Institutional Strength and Rapid Installation
The Sargent 7-Line is built to outperform the baseline for Grade 2 hardware, offering facility managers "heavy-duty" performance in a versatile footprint.
- Exceeds Grade 2 Standards: This series significantly exceeds ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Grade 2 cycle requirements, ensuring a long service life with a 5-year limited warranty.
- One-Minute Installation: Specifically engineered for maximum efficiency, the 7G04 installs in one minute or less, drastically reducing labor costs for facility-wide upgrades.
- Thru-Bolt Stability: Internal thru bolts supply unmatched strength and stability without requiring additional door preparation, fitting standard modified 161 door preps.
- Corrosion Resistance: The cylindrical housing is constructed of steel with a zinc dichromate finish to protect the internal mechanism from environmental wear and moisture.
