Sargent 8217 26D Institutional Mortise Lock Body

Product Description

The SARGENT 8217 26D is an institutional-grade mortise lock body designed for asylum and high-security facility applications. This unit is supplied as the lockbody only, without trim, levers, or escutcheons, making it a direct fit for environments that require controlled hardware specification. The satin chrome finish provides a clean, low-reflectance surface suited to clinical and institutional settings. Licensed locksmiths, commercial door hardware contractors, and institutional facility maintenance teams are the primary installers of this type of hardware.

This mortise lock body is intended for use in psychiatric facilities, correctional institutions, hospitals, and similar high-security or behavioral health environments where ligature-resistant or controlled-access door hardware is required. It fits standard mortise lock prep cutouts and is suited to both new construction and replacement applications in commercial and institutional wood or metal door assemblies.
