Sargent 70-10XG38 Lp 10BE Classroom Security Cylindrical Lock

Product Description

The SARGENT 70-10XG38 LP 10BE is a Grade 1 cylindrical lock engineered for classroom security and intruder deterrence applications. It features a P lever handle mounted on an L rose, a Small Format Interchangeable Core (SFIC) prep with a disposable construction core included, and a Dark Oxidized Bronze (10BE) finish. The non-handed design means the lock installs on either a left-hand or right-hand door without modification. Grade 1 certification indicates the highest residential and commercial duty rating under ANSI/BHMA standards. Licensed locksmiths, commercial door hardware installers, and facilities maintenance professionals are the typical trades who specify and install this unit.

This lock is suited for K-12 schools, universities, and commercial or institutional facilities that require classroom security or intruder lockdown functionality. The classroom security function allows the door to be locked from the outside with a key while the interior lever remains free for egress at all times, supporting life-safety code compliance. The SFIC prep accommodates Small Format Interchangeable Core cylinders from compatible keying systems, allowing facilities managers to rekey locks without removing the hardware from the door.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician familiar with ANSI cylindrical lock preps and applicable building codes. Verify the door prep, backset, and cross-bore dimensions before installation to confirm fitment. The construction core must be replaced with a permanent SFIC cylinder before the space is occupied. Confirm that the chosen function meets local egress and life-safety requirements under IBC and applicable fire codes before final installation.
