Sargent 7G05 LL Office Function Cylindrical Lever Lockset

The Sargent 7G05 LL is a commercial-grade cylindrical lever lockset configured in the Office Function — one of the most common lock functions specified for private offices, administrative spaces, and secured interior doors in commercial and institutional buildings. Built on Sargent's proven 7-Series cylindrical platform, this unit pairs a durable cylindrical lock body with the LL lever trim for a clean, professional appearance that meets demanding day-to-day use requirements.

Office Function — What It Does

The Office Function (ANSI/BHMA F04) is designed for doors that must remain accessible from the inside at all times while allowing the outside lever to be locked or unlocked by key or interior thumb turn. Key operational behavior:

• Outside lever is locked or unlocked by key from outside or by thumb turn from inside
• Inside lever always retracts the latch — free egress is never restricted
• When the outside lever is locked, a key is required to retract the latch from outside
• Ideal for private offices, conference rooms, and secured work areas where controlled entry is needed without compromising exit

Key Benefits

• Grade 1 Commercial Durability — engineered for high-cycle, heavy-traffic commercial door applications
• Cylindrical (bored) installation — fits standard commercial door prep; straightforward field installation for contractors and locksmiths
• Lever-style trim (LL) — ADA-friendly lever operation eliminates the need for tight grasping or twisting
• Sargent 7-Series platform — a widely specified, stable product line with broad parts and cylinder key system availability
• Keying flexibility — compatible with Sargent master key systems for facility-wide key management

Typical Applications

• Private offices and executive suites
• Administrative and records rooms
• Conference and meeting rooms
• Healthcare and clinic offices requiring controlled entry
• Educational facility administrative areas
• Government and institutional interiors

Office & Entrance Function (ANSI F109)

The 05 Office Function provides two distinct locking modes, making it one of the most popular configurations for commercial suites and administrative offices.

• Push-Button Locking: Pressing the button on the interior lever locks the exterior lever. The lock is released by turning the inside lever or using a key from the outside.
• Turn-Button Security: Rotating the interior button keeps the exterior lever locked even when the door is closed or the interior lever is turned. This "fixed" locking state is ideal for maintaining security during off-hours.
• Deadlocking Latchbolt: Features a 1/2" throw stainless steel latch with a deadlocking auxiliary bolt to prevent "shimming" or unauthorized manipulation.
  
• ADA Compliant LL Lever: The linear LL lever design is ergonomically shaped for ease of use, meeting all Americans with Disabilities Act standards for operation without tight grasping or twisting.
