Sargent 28-10XG05 BHW Office Entrance Function Cylindrical Lockset (Thumb Turn)
Function Information:
The Sargent 28-10XG05 BHW is a professional-grade Grade 1 Heavy-Duty Cylindrical Lockset engineered for high-traffic environments that demand both mechanical excellence and therapeutic design. Part of the elite Sargent 10X Line, this model features the specialized BHW trim, which provides a streamlined, ligature-resistant profile ideal for healthcare and behavioral health settings without the cost of a full mortise conversion. Exceeding ANSI/BHMA A156.2 standards by up to 20 times, it is the industry benchmark for long-term reliability in schools, hospitals, and government offices.
Office & Entrance Function (F109) with Thumbturn Control
The G05 Office Function provides versatile security management for private professional spaces. The outside lever is controlled by a high-durability interior push/turn button (thumbturn), allowing for two distinct locking modes:
- Push Button Locking: Pressing the button locks the outside lever until it is released by a key from the exterior or by turning the inside lever for egress.
- Turn Button Locking: Pushing and turning the button keeps the outside lever locked even when the inside lever is operated or the door is closed. The button must be manually turned back to the vertical position to unlock the exterior.
- Emergency Access: Key override always allows authorized entry from the outside, while the interior lever provides constant free egress for life safety.
The BHW Trim Advantage: Strength and Safety
The BHW lever design is a game-changer for facilities prioritizing safety and aesthetics. Its tapered surfaces are designed to minimize risk while complementing modern interior design.
- Ligature-Resistant Profile: The streamlined shape reduces potential attachment points, making it a cost-effective choice for "Environment of Care" applications.
- Vandal-Proof Engineering: Built to withstand 3,100 in-lb of abusive torque and 1,600 lbs of offset lever pull—nearly 3 times the force required for standard Grade 1 certification.
- Extreme Durability: UL-verified to exceed 20 million cycles, ensuring this hardware outlasts the building's lifecycle in high-abuse corridors.
- Independent Return Springs: High-strength springs prevent lever sag, keeping the BHW handles perfectly level even after millions of operations.
