Sargent 8266 LE1L Privacy Function Mortise Latchset w/ Deadbolt

The Sargent 8266 LE1L is a high-performance Grade 1 Heavy-Duty Mortise Lockset designed for high-traffic environments that require a robust, multi-layered privacy solution. Part of the industry-leading Sargent 8200 Series, it is widely regarded as the most durable mortise lock on the market, far surpassing ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000 standards. The 8266 Privacy Function (ANSI F19) is the premier choice for hospital bathrooms, university dormitories, and executive suites where the added physical security of a hardened steel deadbolt is essential for occupant peace of mind.

Advanced Privacy & Deadbolt Security (ANSI F19)

The 8266 function provides more than just a standard privacy lock; it integrates a full-sized deadbolt for superior resistance against forced entry and unauthorized access.

• Interior Thumbturn Operation: Occupants project or retract the 1" throw hardened stainless steel deadbolt via a thumbturn on the interior escutcheon.
  
• Intelligent Outside Trim Logic: When the deadbolt is projected, the exterior lever is automatically locked, and the latchbolt cannot be retracted from the outside.
  
• Emergency Override: In the event of a medical or safety emergency, the deadbolt can be retracted from the exterior using an emergency release (coin-turn or emergency key), ensuring immediate access for facility staff.
  
• Single-Motion Life-Safety Egress: For absolute compliance with fire and safety codes, the inside lever retracts both the latchbolt and the deadbolt simultaneously. This ensures a fast, unhindered exit with a single downward motion.
  

Heavy-Duty LE1L Escutcheon Trim

The LE1L trim configuration provides an elegant, linear architectural aesthetic while offering maximum protection for the door and the internal lock chassis.

• LE1 Escutcheon Plate: This heavy-duty, full-height linear escutcheon reinforces the door face and protects the internal components and thumbturn from tampering, physical abuse, or vandalism.
• L Lever Design: The L Lever features a modern, clean profile that is fully ADA compliant, allowing for effortless operation without requiring a tight grip, pinch, or wrist twist.
  
• Exceeds 14 Million Cycles: Independently verified to withstand over 14 times the cycle requirements for a Grade 1 rating, ensuring this lockset will likely outlast the building itself.
  
• Anti-Sag Engineering: High-carbon steel spring cartridges and heavy-duty wrought steel hubs ensure the L Lever remains perfectly horizontal, preventing unsightly "lever sag" even after years of high-frequency use.
