Product Description
Card access, keypads, fob readers — whatever access control system you're running, this electrified mortise lock is the hardware that makes it work. Fail Safe means the door unlocks when power goes out.
The Sargent 70-8270-24V-LE1J-10B is a Fail Safe function mortise lock from the 8200 Series — Sargent's flagship commercial mortise platform that's been trusted on schools, hospitals, office buildings, and government facilities for decades. Fail Safe electric operation wired for 24VDC from your access control panel, card reader, or keypad system. The lock retracts the latch automatically when power is cut — code-required on fire-rated egress doors.
This one comes with LE1 Escutcheon, J Lever in Oil Rubbed Bronze — the 10B finish with a living patina that develops character over time. Popular in boutique hotels, upscale restaurants, and residential-feeling commercial spaces.
