Sargent 28-11U65 LL Lever Privacy Function Cylindrical Latchset - Extra Heavy Duty

Function Information:

The Sargent 28-11U65 LL is a commercial-grade Extra Heavy Duty Privacy Latchset designed for high-traffic interior openings where frequent use and privacy are paramount. Part of the industry-leading Sargent 11-Line Series, this cylindrical latchset is engineered to withstand the most demanding environments, including schools, medical facilities, and government buildings. The 28-prefix ensures this unit is built with the same precision and structural integrity as Sargent's keyed high-security locks, featuring the sleek, ergonomic LL Lever design.

Performance That Redefines the Grade 1 Standard

While most privacy sets are treated as light-duty hardware, the Sargent 11-Line is built to the same "Extra Heavy Duty" specifications as its keyed counterparts. Independent laboratory testing has proven that this hardware is in a class of its own:

• 12 Times the Industry Standard: Tested to exceed 10,000,000 (Ten Million) cycles. This is 12 times the 800,000-cycle requirement for Grade 1 certification, ensuring decades of smooth, maintenance-free operation.
• Extreme Torque Resistance: Built to withstand over 3,000 in/lbs of torque on the lever. This is 3 times the force required for Grade 1 status, making it virtually immune to the physical abuse common in public-access restrooms and changing areas.
  
• Zero Lever Sag: Utilizing high-carbon steel spring cartridges, the LL lever remains perfectly horizontal for the life of the product, preventing the "droop" often seen in standard commercial latchsets.
• 10-Year Limited Warranty: Sargent provides a decade of protection with no service required to maintain the warranty, offering an incredibly low total cost of ownership.
  

Versatile Privacy Function (ANSI F76)

The 65 Privacy Function provides essential personal security for single-occupant spaces while maintaining critical emergency access.

• Push-Button Locking: Pressing the button on the interior lever locks the exterior lever.
• Automatic Unlocking: Rotating the interior lever or closing the door automatically releases the push-button, preventing accidental lockouts—a vital feature for high-use public restrooms.
• Emergency Access: The exterior lever features an emergency release tool slot, allowing authorized personnel to unlock the door from the outside if a resident or guest requires assistance.
  
• ADA Compliant Design: The LL Lever is designed for easy operation without requiring tight grasping, pinching, or twisting, ensuring full compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act standards.
  
• Fire-Rated Safety: UL/cUL Listed for use on 3-hour fire-rated doors, maintaining the integrity of fire barriers in commercial corridors.
