Sargent 82-0085 Mortise Lock Front | US32D Satin Stainless Steel

The Sargent 82-0085 is a specialized replacement lock front (faceplate) designed exclusively for Sargent 8200 and 7800 Series Mortise Locks. Finished in US32D (630) Satin Stainless Steel, this front plate provides a durable, corrosion-resistant shield for the internal lock body. This specific model is engineered for legacy Sargent hardware manufactured prior to March 2008 and is precision-cut specifically for Function #55.

• Legacy Design Support: Tailored for the dimensions and screw patterns of Sargent 8200 and 7800 series units manufactured before the 3/2008 design update.
  
• Premium US32D Finish: The Satin Stainless Steel (630) finish is non-magnetic, highly durable, and matches modern commercial hardware standards perfectly.
• Solid Steel Construction: Forged from high-grade stainless steel to resist impacts and tampering in high-traffic schools, hospitals, and institutional buildings.
• Custom Finish Availability: While US32D is our standard stock, other architectural finishes are available via special order to ensure consistent aesthetics across your facility.

The Sargent 82-0085 is the "finishing touch" for a successful lockset refurbishment. If your current faceplate is bent or mismatched, it can interfere with the smooth operation of the latch or deadbolt. Because these legacy mortise locks are often secured with high-strength thru bolts, ensuring the faceplate is perfectly aligned and flush with the door edge is critical for preventing mechanical binding.

Installation Note: This front is designed for older "pre-2008" lock bodies. Before ordering, verify your function code (#55) and check that your lock body does not feature the newer "Apex" design updates introduced after 2008. To install, simply align the plate over the internal chassis and secure it with factory armored front screws for a clean, tamper-resistant finish.
