Sargent 8204 TRR Trim Storeroom or Closet Function Mortise Lockset

Where minimal door-face coverage meets architectural precision, the Sargent 8200 Series 8204 TRR Mortise Lockset delivers a storeroom/closet solution built for specifiers who refuse to compromise on either aesthetics or performance. The TR Traditional Rose — just 2-3/16" in diameter with a refined dual radii edge — keeps the door face clean and uncluttered, letting the architecture speak. Behind that compact rose, the 8204 function (ANSI F07) provides controlled single-cylinder storeroom access: the outside lever is locked at all times, entry is by key only, and the inside lever always retracts the latchbolt freely. Certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000 Operational Grade 1 and Security Grade 1, this is a Sargent lockset engineered for demanding institutional and commercial environments where door hardware must perform as reliably as the building around it.

8204 Storeroom / Closet Function — ANSI F07: Key-Controlled Entry, Always-Free Egress

The 8204 (ANSI F07) is the definitive storeroom and closet function: the outside trim is locked at all times, so entry requires a key on every approach, while the inside lever remains unconditionally free for immediate egress. There is no deadbolt, no thumbturn, and no occupancy indicator — just a clean, single-purpose mechanical solution optimised for secure storage and utility spaces.

• Key-Only Outside Entry: The outside lever is locked at all times and retracts the latchbolt only when a valid key is used. Because there is no way to unlock the outside trim from within — no thumbturn exists on this function — the door is always secured against unauthorised entry the moment it closes.
• Always-Free Inside Egress: The inside lever retracts the latchbolt unconditionally, with no key or credential required. This unimpeded egress path is essential for life-safety compliance in occupied storerooms, utility closets, and similar spaces.
• Stainless Steel Auxiliary Deadlatch: The auxiliary deadlatch is stainless steel and non-handed. When the door is fully closed, the deadlatch engages automatically to prevent the latchbolt from being slipped or pushed back — a critical safeguard on a door that cannot be locked from inside with a thumbturn.
• Anti-Friction Stainless Steel Latch: The one-piece latchbolt is stainless steel with a 3/4" (19 mm) throw and an anti-friction feature that reduces closing resistance against the strike. The same one lockbody covers nine functions, so a single case can be stocked instead of nine.

TR Traditional Rose (2-3/16" Dia., Dual Radii Edge) with R Lever — Compact, Contemporary, Through-Bolted

The TRR trim pairs the TR Traditional Rose — a 2-3/16"-diameter rose with a dual radii edge profile — with the R lever. At under 2-1/4" across, the TR rose covers the minimum door face necessary, an intentional design choice that suits contemporary commercial interiors where hardware should complement rather than dominate the door elevation.

• Compact Rose Footprint: At 2-3/16" (approximately 56 mm) in diameter with a dual radii edge, the TR Traditional Rose occupies less door face than larger escutcheon formats, making it a natural fit for flush, minimalist door designs in offices, retail, and institutional interiors.
• 30-Degree Lever Operation: Only 30 degrees of lever rotation is required to fully retract the latchbolt. This reduced arc lowers the force and travel a user must apply — a practical ergonomic benefit on high-traffic storeroom doors, and consistent with lever-handle requirements under accessibility guidelines.
• ADA Lever Handle — Consult Local Authorities: The R lever handle complies with the American Disability Act; consult local authorities to confirm applicability for your specific jurisdiction and installation. Lever springs are housed inside the lock case rather than in the trim, simplifying trim removal and reinstallation without disturbing spring tension.
• Through-Bolted, Finish-Matched Trim: Trim is through-bolted and fully interchangeable between rose and escutcheon configurations to ensure proper alignment. The R lever and TR rose are non-handed, eliminating handing errors at trim installation. Six architectural finishes are offered: 626 Satin Chrome, 630 Satin Stainless, 613E Oil Rubbed Bronze Equal, 605 Polished Brass, 612 Satin Bronze, and 625 Polished Chrome.

Key Product Features

• 16 Million Cycle Verified Durability: The Sargent 8200 Series completed a UL "above and beyond" cycle test at 16 million cycles — sixteen times the ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Grade 1 requirement (Verification ID: V584148). For a storeroom lock used dozens of times daily, that margin translates directly into service life measured in decades.
• ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000 — Operational Grade 1 and Security Grade 1: Certified to the highest commercial mortise lock standard with standard trims. Note: LFIC and SFIC cylinder options (offered on this listing) do not meet Security Grade 1 requirements — specify the LA keyway or LC less-cylinder option where Security Grade 1 must be maintained end-to-end.
• 12-Gauge Zinc-Dichromate Steel Case with Cold Forged Steel Hubs: The lock case is 12-gauge heavy-duty wrought steel, zinc dichromate plated at 7/64" (3 mm) thickness. The 8200 Series hubs are cold forged steel — paired with a high-carbon steel spring cartridge — providing the structural foundation for the lock's Grade 1 cycle performance.
• UL/cUL 3-Hour Fire Door Listed and UL 10C Positive Pressure Tested: Listed to US and Canadian safety standards for A label 4×10 single and 8×10 double (3-hour fire door) and lesser class doors; the armored front is stamped with the UL symbol and letter F to confirm listing in the field. Also meets ANSI/UL 10C Positive Pressure fire test requirements.
• Cylinder and Keyway Options: This listing is offered in four configurations: LC (Less Cylinder) for owner-supplied cylinders; LA Keyway (standard 6-pin brass, masterkey and grand masterkey capable, construction keying available); 60 — LFIC Less Core; and 70 — SFIC Less Core. The cylinder is brass, size #41 (1-1/8"). LFIC and SFIC options do not meet ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Security Grade 1.
• 10-Year Limited Mechanical Warranty: Sargent backs the 8200 Series lockbody with a 10-year limited mechanical warranty (warranty limited to replacement of the lockbody). The field-reversible lock body — re-handed without removing parts or opening the lock case — reduces installation time and eliminates the risk of receiving a wrong-handed unit on a job site.

Technical Specifications

Ordering & Installation Information

The 8204 TRR installs to ANSI/SDI A250.14 modified per template 7057 door prep. The lockset requires a 2-3/4" (70 mm) backset — no other backset is offered — and a minimum 4-1/2" (114 mm) stile width; verify both dimensions before ordering, as neither is field-adjustable. Standard door thickness is 1-3/4" (44 mm), though the 8200 Series accommodates a range of door thicknesses — consult the series template for non-standard applications. The lock body is field reversible without opening the case; the TR rose and R lever are non-handed, so no handing selection is required at order. Select from six finishes: 626, 630, 613E, 605, 612, or 625. Cylinder options are LC, LA, 60 (LFIC less core), and 70 (SFIC less core); LFIC and SFIC do not meet Security Grade 1. The broader 8200 Series also offers MicroShield antimicrobial coating, status indicators, ElectroLynx electro-mechanical configurations, and security trim variants as separately specified options. Lead time: 3–4 weeks factory order.
