Sargent 8267 BHW Institutional Privacy Function Mortise Latchset - Ligature Resistant
The Sargent 8267 BHW is an industrial-grade Grade 1 Ligature-Resistant Mortise Lockset engineered specifically for high-risk behavioral health environments, psychiatric facilities, and institutional settings. Combining the legendary strength of the Sargent 8200 Series with specialized safety trim, this lockset is designed to provide occupants with essential privacy while granting staff the absolute override control necessary for patient safety. The BHW trim utilizes sloped, tapered surfaces to minimize potential attachment points, making it a critical component of suicide prevention and risk management protocols.
Advanced Institutional Privacy (ANSI F26)
The 8267 Institutional Privacy function is designed for high-use patient rooms and restrooms where occupant privacy must be balanced with immediate staff accessibility.
- Interior Thumbturn Privacy: Occupants can lock or unlock the exterior lever by using the interior thumbturn.
- Keyed Exterior Override: In the event of an emergency, a physical key used in the exterior LA Keyway cylinder will retract the latchbolt, overriding the thumbturn even if it is held in the locked position.
- Automatic Re-locking & Unlocking: To prevent accidental lockouts or security lapses, the exterior trim automatically unlocks when the door is closed or when the inside lever is operated.
- Constant Life-Safety Egress: The inside lever always retracts the latchbolt, providing an immediate, fail-safe exit in compliance with NFPA 101 and ADA codes.
Specialized BHW Ligature-Resistant Trim
The BHW trim is the centerpiece of the Sargent Behavioral Health Series, designed to provide a therapeutic "normative" look while meeting the most rigorous safety standards.
- Anti-Ligature Contoured Design: The BHW lever and escutcheon are tapered and sloped to prevent the looping of cords, clothing, or bedsheets, significantly reducing the risk of ligature-related incidents.
- Integrated Lever & Escutcheon: The unique overlap between the lever and the escutcheon plate eliminates gaps where strings or small metal objects could be wedged for self-harm or tampering.
- Extreme Mechanical Life: The Sargent 8200 Series lock body is independently verified to exceed 14 million cycles—14 times the requirement for Grade 1 certification—ensuring ultimate reliability in abusive environments.
- Security Fasteners: All units are supplied with Torx® security screws to prevent unauthorized removal or tampering by patients.
