Sargent 8205 LE1L Office/ Entry Function Mortise Lockset - LA Keyway
The Sargent 8205 LE1L is an industry-leading Grade 1 Heavy-Duty Mortise Lockset engineered for high-traffic commercial environments where security and flexible access are essential. As part of the world-renowned Sargent 8200 Series, it is recognized as the "strongest lock on the block," far exceeding ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000 standards for physical strength and durability. The 8205 Office/Entry Function (ANSI F04) is the professional’s choice for executive suites, administrative offices, and entrance doors that require keyed security alongside an interior thumbturn for convenient locking.
Professional Office & Entrance Security (ANSI F04)
The 8205 function is designed to provide staff and facility managers with total control over their space. It allows the door to remain unlocked for ease of movement during business hours or secured instantly for privacy.
- Dual Locking Control: The exterior lever is locked or unlocked by the interior thumbturn or by a keyed cylinder from the outside.
- Smart Security Logic: When the exterior lever is locked, entry is gained only by a physical key using the standard Sargent LA Keyway.
- Life Safety Free Egress: Regardless of the locking status, the inside lever always allows for immediate exit, ensuring full compliance with NFPA 101 Life Safety and local fire codes.
- Auxiliary Deadlatch: Includes a specialized deadlocking latch that prevents "shimming" or forced entry attempts when the door is closed and the exterior is locked.
Architectural LE1L Trim Design
The LE1L trim features the LE1 escutcheon paired with the L lever, offering a clean, contemporary aesthetic that complements modern building designs without sacrificing strength.
- ADA Compliance: The LE1 lever is ergonomically designed for ease of use, meeting all ADA accessibility requirements for public and private spaces.
- Extreme Mechanical Longevity: Verified to exceed 14 million cycles—14 times the requirement for Grade 1 certification—this hardware is built to last the entire lifecycle of the building.
- Anti-Sag Engineering: Heavy-duty wrought steel hubs and high-carbon steel spring cartridges ensure the levers remain perfectly horizontal, preventing "lever sag" even under heavy use.
- LA Keyway Standard: Ships with the popular Sargent LA Keyway 6-pin brass cylinder, making it easy to integrate into existing master key systems.
