Why Using Sargent Locks
Sargent, a division of ASSA ABLOY, manufactures some of the most robust and precise commercial-grade locks on the market. Their hardware is widely used in institutional settings where performance and compliance are non-negotiable. From mortise locks to heavy-duty lever sets and key systems, Sargent offers high-end security solutions tailored to the most demanding applications.
Advantages:
- ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 hardware designed for heavy-duty use
- Exceptional longevity and reliability under constant traffic
- Compatible with access control and master key systems
- Backed by ASSA ABLOY’s security innovation and support
Disadvantages:
- Higher cost than standard commercial or residential locks
- Professional installation or service often required due to hardware complexity
For businesses and institutions that value long-term security and code compliance, Sargent is a premium solution trusted nationwide — and installed right here in Austin by Lock Change Austin.
Sargent Lock Rekey
Sargent locks use restricted key systems and high-precision components, making rekeying a job best left to trained professionals. We rekey mortise cylinders, rim cylinders, and Sargent LFIC (large format interchangeable cores) to fit new key systems or tenant changes.
Whether you're switching over a single door or setting up a multi-floor master key plan, our team carries OEM Sargent pins and tools to rekey your locks on-site, usually in one visit.
Estimated cost: $35–$65 per lock, depending on whether it’s standard, high-security, or part of a master key system. Additional charges may apply for restricted key duplication or system reconfiguration.
Smart Locks
Sargent offers a variety of advanced locking solutions that integrate mechanical security with electronic access control. Their Profile Series and Passport Series locks allow for credentialed access via card, fob, keypad, or mobile credentials.
Standard Smart Locks: Sargent Profile Series includes locks with integrated readers that operate via PIN, proximity cards, or mobile credentials — perfect for commercial and educational facilities.
Retrofit Smart Options: Some Sargent mortise and cylindrical locks can be fitted with electronic access components without full hardware replacement, allowing for phased upgrades on a budget.
We handle everything from credential setup to access schedules and can connect your Sargent smart locks with third-party access control platforms or cloud-based systems.
Do It Yourself VS Using Professional Locksmith
Sargent locks are commercial-grade systems engineered for precision and compliance — not DIY installation. Their mortise hardware, key systems, and smart integrations require specialized tools and training.
DIY Pros: Very limited. Most Sargent products aren’t DIY-friendly due to licensing and complexity.
DIY Cons: Incorrect installation may void warranties, compromise fire code compliance, or damage doors and frames.
Professional Pros: Guaranteed fitment, key system compatibility, access control integration, and full support with warranty on all labor and components.
Professional Cons: Slightly higher up-front cost, but long-term peace of mind and full security assurance.
