Sargent 8237 LNL Classroom Function Mortise Lockset - LA Keyway
The Sargent 8237 LNL is a top-tier Grade 1 Heavy-Duty Mortise Lockset specifically engineered for the rigorous demands of educational institutions, commercial offices, and high-traffic public buildings. As part of the world-class Sargent 8200 Series, this lockset is recognized as the industry benchmark for strength and durability, far exceeding ANSI/BHMA A156.13 standards for physical security. The 8237 Classroom Function (ANSI F05) provides essential security by allowing the exterior lever to be locked or unlocked only via a key, ensuring that faculty and staff maintain total control over room access.
Critical Classroom Function (ANSI F05) Security
The 8237 function is a vital component of facility security and lockdown preparedness. It is designed to provide robust perimeter control while never compromising life safety.
- Key-Controlled Access: The outside lever is locked or unlocked strictly by the exterior key. When locked, the lever remains rigid, preventing unauthorized entry.
- Instant Life Safety Egress: Regardless of the locking status of the exterior, the inside lever always allows for constant free egress, ensuring occupants can exit the room immediately in an emergency.
- Auxiliary Deadlatch: Includes a specialized deadlocking latch that prevents "shimming" or forced entry attempts when the door is closed.
Architectural LNL Trim Design
The LNL trim represents a perfect marriage of modern linear aesthetics and high-performance engineering.
- ADA Compliance: The L-Lever is ergonomically designed for ease of use, meeting all ADA accessibility codes and national safety requirements.
- Extreme Mechanical Life: Verified for over 14 million cycles—14 times the requirement for Grade 1 certification—ensuring the lowest total cost of ownership over decades of use.
- Lever Sag Prevention: Heavy-duty wrought steel hubs and high-carbon steel spring cartridges ensure the levers remain perfectly horizontal, maintaining a professional look even under heavy use.
- LA Keyway Standard: Ships with the standard Sargent LA Keyway 6-pin brass cylinder, allowing for seamless integration into most existing master key systems.
