Sargent 7U65 LL Privacy Cylindrical Lever Lock – Commercial Grade

The Sargent 7U65 LL is a commercial-grade cylindrical lever lockset configured for the Privacy function — the standard choice for restrooms, single-occupancy offices, hotel guestrooms, and any interior door where occupancy indication and interior locking are required without a keyed cylinder. Built on Sargent's proven 7-Series cylindrical platform, this lever lock delivers reliable performance in demanding commercial environments.

Privacy Function — What It Does

The Privacy (LL) function operates as follows: the interior lever retracts the latch and controls a push-button or turn-piece locking mechanism on the inside. When the room is occupied and locked from inside, the exterior lever is rendered inoperable — preventing entry without a key. An emergency release (small coin-slot or pinhole on the exterior trim) allows override from outside in an emergency, without a standard key. This function is ideal for:

• Commercial restrooms and single-user toilet rooms
• Hotel and motel guestroom doors
• Dressing rooms and fitting rooms
• Private office or conference room applications requiring occupancy indication
• Healthcare exam rooms and treatment areas

Key Benefits

• Grade 1 Commercial Duty — Sargent 7-Series cylindrical locks are engineered to ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 standards, the highest rating for commercial door hardware, ensuring long service life in high-traffic applications
• Lever Design (LL Rose) — The LL trim designation indicates lever-on-lever configuration with a round rose, providing a clean, professional appearance compatible with a wide range of commercial door styles
• Emergency Release — Code-compliant outside emergency access allows facilities staff to unlock from the corridor without destroying hardware
• ANSI F22 Privacy Function — Aligns with ANSI/BHMA A156.2 function classifications for privacy applications, supporting specification and compliance documentation
• Cylindrical Prep Compatibility — Fits standard 2-1/8" (54 mm) cross-bore prep with 2-3/4" backset; compatible with standard ANSI 115.2 door preparations on hollow metal, wood, and aluminum doors

Typical Applications

• Commercial office buildings — private offices and restrooms
• Healthcare facilities — exam rooms, patient rooms, restrooms
• Hospitality — hotel guestrooms, fitness rooms, spa areas
• Education — faculty offices, single-user restrooms
• Retail — fitting rooms, single-occupancy employee restrooms

Privacy Function & Safety Features (ANSI F76)

The 65 Privacy Function is the premier choice for single-occupant spaces, providing essential privacy while maintaining critical emergency access.

• Push-Button Locking: The exterior lever is locked by pressing the push-button on the interior. This provides immediate privacy for the user.
• Automatic Reset Logic: Rotating the interior lever or closing the door automatically releases the push-button. This prevents accidental lockouts and ensures the door is ready for the next occupant.
• Emergency Access: For life-safety compliance, the exterior lever features an emergency release tool slot, allowing authorized personnel to unlock the door from the outside if a guest requires assistance.
  
• ADA Compliant LL Lever: The LL design features a linear, ergonomic profile that meets all Americans with Disabilities Act requirements, allowing for operation without tight grasping or twisting.
• Non-Handed Versatility: The universal design ensures the latchset can be installed on both left-hand and right-hand swinging doors, simplifying inventory and installation.
