Sargent 8255 LNL Office Function Mortise Lockset — Commercial Grade | LA Keyway
The Sargent 8255 LNL is a heavy-duty, commercial-grade mortise lockset engineered for office-function applications in institutional, government, healthcare, education, and corporate facilities. Built on the proven Sargent 8200 Series mortise platform, this lockset combines robust mechanical performance with the LNL trim designation and the LA keyway — a configuration trusted by architects, specifiers, and facility managers who demand long-term reliability and compatibility in high-traffic door openings.
Office Function (ANSI/BHMA Function Explained)
The Office Function lockset operates as follows: the latch bolt is normally retracted by lever from either side. A push button or turn on the inside can lock the outside lever, requiring a key for entry — ideal for private offices, consultation rooms, and staff areas where the occupant needs the ability to secure the room from within without permanent key control. Turning the inside lever always provides free egress regardless of the locked/unlocked state.
