Sargent 8243 LNL Apartment/Corridor Lockset - LA Keyway
The Sargent 8243 LNL is a high-security Grade 1 Mortise Lockset designed for the specialized needs of multi-family housing, upscale apartments, and executive office corridors. As part of the prestigious Sargent 8200 Series, this lockset represents the pinnacle of physical security and mechanical endurance. The 8243 Entrance or Apartment Corridor Function (ANSI F20) combines the convenience of an interior thumbturn with the high-strength protection of an integrated deadbolt, ensuring residents feel secure while maintaining a sophisticated architectural profile.
Comprehensive Apartment Corridor Security (ANSI F20)
The 8243 function is engineered to provide multi-layered security for private living and working spaces. It allows for a standard latching operation during the day and high-security deadlocking at night.
- Integrated Deadbolt Protection: Features a 1" throw hardened stainless steel deadbolt. The deadbolt is projected or retracted by the interior thumbturn or the exterior key.
- Smart Locking Logic: When the deadbolt is projected, the exterior lever is automatically locked. Retracting the deadbolt via the thumbturn or key unlocks the outside lever.
- Safety & Convenience: A key from the outside retracts both the deadbolt and the latchbolt simultaneously.
- Life Safety Egress: For immediate exit during an emergency, the inside lever retracts both the latchbolt and the deadbolt with a single motion, ensuring compliance with all fire and safety codes.
Architectural Excellence: The LNL Trim Design
The LNL trim (L-Lever with LN-Rose) is a modern, linear handle set that offers a sleek aesthetic without compromising the heavy-duty performance required for institutional use.
- ADA Compliance: The linear L-Lever is ergonomically designed for ease of use, meeting all ADA accessibility requirements.
- Unrivaled Mechanical Life: Independently verified to exceed 14 million cycles—14 times the requirement for Grade 1 certification—this lockset is built to outlast the building's lifecycle.
- Anti-Sag Engineering: High-carbon steel spring cartridges and heavy-duty wrought steel hubs prevent lever sag, keeping the hardware perfectly horizontal and professional-looking.
