Sargent 60-42 LFIC Mortise Cylinder Housing, Less Core, 1-1/4" length
The Sargent 60-42 LFIC Mortise Cylinder Housing is a high-precision security hardware solution designed for facilities requiring frequent re-keying without dismantling the entire lockset. This 1-1/4" Large Format Interchangeable Core (LFIC) housing allows for the immediate removal and replacement of the lock core using a control key, making it the premier key management solution for hospitals, universities, and commercial complexes. By decoupling the cylinder housing from the core, it provides a maintenance-efficiency solution that significantly reduces labor costs during tenant turnovers or security breaches. Finished in high-quality architectural finishes, this housing integrates seamlessly into existing Sargent mortise locks and exit device trims.
Engineered for maximum adaptability, the Sargent 60-42 serves as a critical cross-platform compatibility solution. With five distinct cam options available—including the Adams Rite "AR" Cam and the Schlage Cloverleaf Cam—this housing can be configured to operate a wide variety of hardware brands and locking mechanisms. Whether you are seeking a key switch solution for electronic access or a retrofitting solution for storefront doors, the 1-1/4" length provides the necessary depth for standard and thick door applications. This hardware acts as a future-proofing solution, allowing facility managers to upgrade or change internal keyways while retaining the same high-durability external housing.
ANSI Function & Mechanism Summary
The 60-42 LFIC Housing is the foundation of a modular security system, functioning as the interface between the key and the locking bolt:
- LFIC Functionality: Specifically designed to accept Sargent 6300 series cores. This provides a rapid-response security solution, allowing security personnel to change access levels in seconds.
- Cam-Driven Operation: The tail-piece (cam) rotates to actuate the mortise lock's internal lever or the exit device's lift finger. Choosing the correct cam provides an operational precision solution for different lock brands.
- Large Format Advantage: The LFIC format offers a more robust physical footprint than Small Format (SFIC), acting as a physical-security solution that is more resistant to forceful extraction.
- Non-Handed Design: The housing is inherently flexible, serving as an installation-versatility solution for both left-hand and right-hand door swings.

Engineered Solutions for Master Key Systems
The Sargent 60-42 LFIC is designed to solve complex logistical challenges in modern building security:
- Rapid Re-keying Solution: Eliminates the need to remove the lock from the door. Use a control key to swap cores, providing a security-continuity solution during emergency lockouts.
- Standardization Solution: By using different cams, you can use the same Sargent LFIC core across your entire facility—from aluminum storefront doors to heavy-duty interior mortise locks.
- Architectural Integration: Available in multiple finishes (including US26D, US3, and US10B), providing an aesthetic-matching solution that preserves the visual integrity of high-end openings.
- Durability Solution: Constructed from solid brass with high-cycle internal components, ensuring the housing remains functional even in harsh outdoor environments or high-use entryways.
- Tenant Improvement Solution: Ideal for leased spaces where the "Less Core" option allows the building owner to provide the housing while the tenant provides the specific restricted keyway cores.
