Sargent 4875 Single Cylinder Mortise Deadlock — Commercial Grade, LA Keyway

The Sargent 4875 is a heavy-duty, single cylinder mortise deadlock from Sargent's 4870 Series — engineered for demanding, high-traffic commercial applications where maximum bolt strength and long-term reliability are non-negotiable. Built around a laminated stacked steel deadbolt, the 4875 delivers the forced-entry resistance required in institutional, healthcare, educational, and government facilities.
As a single cylinder mortise deadlock, the 4875 is operated by key from the outside using the LA keyway. This configuration provides controlled outside access with straightforward interior egress, making it a proven solution for perimeter doors, storeroom applications, and secured corridors where a deadbolt-only function (no latch) is specified.
Function Overview — Single Cylinder Mortise Deadlock: A deadlock-only mortise function means the lock body operates the deadbolt exclusively — there is no latch bolt. The outside cylinder projects and retracts the dead bolt by key. This function is ideal for doors requiring positive, key-controlled dead-bolt security without a passage latch, such as utility rooms, electrical rooms, storage areas, and secondary egress points where the door must be positively locked.
Key Benefits
- Laminated stacked steel deadbolt — resists sawing, prying, and forced-entry attacks common in high-security commercial environments
- Mortise body construction — installs within the door edge for a clean, flush profile and superior structural integration versus surface-mounted locks
- Single cylinder / LA keyway — compatible with Sargent master key systems; supports keyed-alike and master-keyed configurations for facility-wide key control
- High-traffic durability — 4870 Series construction meets the performance demands of schools, hospitals, government buildings, and commercial office facilities
- Sargent 40 Series mortise cylinder compatibility — solid brass cylinder available in multiple lengths and finishes; 6-pin standard with 7-pin option available for enhanced security
Typical Applications
- School and university perimeter and interior secured doors
- Hospital and healthcare facility utility and supply rooms
- Government and municipal buildings requiring positive dead-bolt security
- Commercial office storerooms, IT rooms, and electrical/mechanical spaces
- High-traffic institutional facilities requiring mortise deadlock reliability
