Sargent 8266 LNL Privacy Function Mortise Latchset w/ Deadbolt

The Sargent 8266 LNL is a top-tier Grade 1 Heavy-Duty Privacy Mortise Lockset designed for high-end commercial and institutional spaces where occupant privacy and physical security are the highest priorities. As a specialized model in the Sargent 8200 Series, it is widely regarded as the "strongest lock on the block," far exceeding ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Grade 1 standards for cycle life and impact resistance. The 8266 Privacy Function (ANSI F19) combines a standard latch with a high-strength deadbolt, providing a multi-layered security solution for professional executive offices, upscale restrooms, and private healthcare suites.

Advanced Privacy & Deadbolt Function (ANSI F19)

The 8266 function offers a significant security upgrade over standard privacy locks by integrating a full-size deadbolt that can be managed without the need for a keyed cylinder.

• Interior Thumbturn Security: The 1" throw hardened stainless steel deadbolt is projected and retracted by the interior thumbturn. When the deadbolt is projected, the exterior lever is automatically locked.
  
• Smart Latching Operation: When the deadbolt is retracted, the latchbolt is operated by the lever from either side, functioning as a standard passage lock.
• Emergency Exterior Release: In the event of an emergency, the deadbolt can be retracted from the outside using a small screwdriver, coin, or emergency key (14-0057) via the emergency release port on the rose.
  
• Single-Motion Life Safety Egress: Operating the inside lever retracts both the latchbolt and the deadbolt simultaneously, ensuring immediate, unrestricted exit in compliance with all fire and safety codes.
  

The 8200 Series Performance Advantage

Built to survive the most demanding environments, the Sargent 8266 is engineered with industrial-grade components to ensure decades of reliable service.

• Cycle Life Leader: Independently verified to exceed 14 million cycles—14 times the requirement for Grade 1 certification—offering the lowest total cost of ownership in the industry.
  
• LNL Trim Aesthetic: Features the modern, linear L-Lever paired with the traditional LN-Rose, providing a professional architectural look that is fully ADA compliant.
  
• Anti-Sag Technology: High-carbon steel spring cartridges and cold-forged steel hubs prevent lever sag, keeping the hardware perfectly horizontal even in high-traffic applications.
  
• Vandal Resistant Case: The 12-gauge heavy-duty wrought steel lock case is zinc dichromate plated for maximum corrosion resistance and structural integrity.
