Sargent 8256 LJ Trim Office & Inner Entry Lock Function Mortise Lockset

For doors opened thousands of times a year that still have to feel solid.

The Sargent 8200 Series is an extra-heavy-duty mortise platform for commercial and institutional openings. Certified to and exceeds ANSI/BHMA A156.13, Series 1000, Operational Grade 1 and Security Grade 1 with all standard trims. This listing is the Office & Inner Entry Lock function with LJ trim -- the J lever carried on the L Rose.

Office & Inner Entry Lock Function

How the lock behaves at the opening, stated as the catalog states it, with what each line means in practice:

• Key outside retracts latchbolt
• Free Egress -- and the Outside Trim Unlocks With It: Trim inside always retracts latchbolt and unlocks outside trim — the inside lever is never locked, so a single motion always gets a person out -- and on this function that same motion also unlocks the outside trim, so the opening does not re-secure itself behind whoever left.
• Inside Thumbturn: Trim outside is locked by thumbturn or key — the outside lever can be locked from the inside by hand, without needing a key in it.
• Anti-Shim Protection: Auxiliary deadlatch — a small plunger beside the latchbolt rides the strike when the door closes; with it depressed the latchbolt cannot be shimmed back with a card.

LJ Trim Design

LJ pairs the L Rose (3-1/2" (89mm), round; the largest of the standard roses) with the J lever (5-1/4" (133mm) long, +/- 5/16" (8mm) return). The carrier is a rose -- a compact plate around the lever, a different part from an escutcheon.

• Carrier: L Rose, 3-1/2" (89mm) (round; the largest of the standard roses)
• Lever: J lever -- 5-1/4" (133mm) long, +/- 5/16" (8mm) return
• Handing: Non-handed; no handing designation is required when ordering.
• Accessibility: All levers meet ADA compliance for national codes. Solid forged or cast. Lever designs J, L and P have lever returns within 1/2" (13mm) or less of door face and meet California State Reference Fire Code. All lever height (+/- 1/16") measurements represent total distance from door face.
• Operation: Easy operation. Only 30 degrees of lever rotation required to retract latchbolt
