SARGENT builds the Grade 1 mortise locks, cylindrical levers, and exit devices guarding commercial doors across Maryland, Washington DC, and Northern Virginia. We install, replace, and repair every one of them. King Locksmith and Doors Inc. brings 25 years of licensed, insured, and bonded experience to each SARGENT service call.
SARGENT traces its roots to 1810, builds hardware in Connecticut, and joined the ASSA ABLOY Group in 1996. The name stands for heavy duty commercial hardware: 8200 Series mortise locks, 10X Line cylindrical levers, and 80 Series exit devices.
Certified to ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, most SARGENT cylinders run on the LA keyway, with Signature, XC, and KESO platforms for restricted key control. We service this hardware daily in District of Columbia offices, schools, and medical buildings.
Three problems dominate our SARGENT service calls: sagging levers from worn spring cassettes in 8200 and 10 Line chassis, keys that bind in worn LA keyway cylinders, and exit devices that stop latching under heavy traffic.
We cure each with genuine spring packs, cylinder service or rekeying, and latch realignment. Locked out? Our 24/7 mobile units put a SARGENT locksmith at your door fast.
From one sagging lever to a full hardware changeout, we handle every SARGENT need with one crew, genuine parts, and 24/7 availability.
Repair is the right call for worn spring cassettes, sluggish cylinders, loose trim, and latch misalignment. Our locksmith inspects the lock body, cylinder, strike, and door fit before quoting anything.
We stock genuine SARGENT parts on our trucks and tell you honestly when repair beats replacement, and when it does not. Call (240) 345-1455 in Maryland or (202) 800-2622 in Washington DC and NOVA.
We recommend replacement for damaged lock bodies, discontinued functions, lost key control, or a security upgrade, and we match your existing mortise pocket or bored prep and backset, no new drilling.
Upgrading builder-grade hardware to SARGENT Grade 1? We rekey new cylinders into your existing key system where the keyway allows, and our in-house door expert fixes frames the same visit. Free estimates, always.
We install and retrofit the full SARGENT commercial line, from 8200 mortise locks to 10X Line levers and 80 Series exit devices, checking door thickness, backset, prep, fire rating, and handing first.
Correct installation protects alignment, finish, and warranty validity. Our own certified technicians handle every job, no subcontractors: assess, install, then test operation and security before we leave. Your estimate is free.
Anyone can sell commercial hardware. Keeping SARGENT Grade 1 locks running takes brand specific training, genuine parts, and 25 years of hands-on door expertise.
We stock and install only genuine SARGENT hardware, never gray market or knockoff substitutes, so your 8200 or 10X Line investment keeps its manufacturer warranty.
Our locksmiths know SARGENT mortise and cylindrical mechanisms inside out, from LA keyway cylinders to interchangeable cores, delivering repairs that respect true Grade 1 precision.
Our mobile units carry common SARGENT cylinders, spring packs, latches and trim components, which means most commercial repairs and rekeys finish in a single visit.
Grade 1 SARGENT hardware demands squarely hung doors. Our own door specialist corrects frames, hinges and alignment during the same appointment, preventing premature lock wear.
