Our stock SARGENT 6500 Series cylindrical lever handle sets are configured for use on lead lined and lead-free lined shielded doors used in medical, dental, veterinary, industrial, and laboratory environments. These handle sets are based on the SARGENT 6500 Series Cylindrical Lever Lock platform and are offered in a consistent stock configuration for easier quoting and ordering.

Stock Handleset Options
We offer the following stock handleset configurations:

Double Lever Pull (Dummy Latch – for Double Door)
A double lever pull configuration commonly used on paired door applications where active latch hardware is not required on the leaf in question.
28-65U15 KL 26D
Passage Function (No Lock, Latch by Either Lever)
This function allows free passage from either side, with latch operation by either lever. Suitable for shielded doors where locking is not required. The 65U15 passage function is listed by SARGENT as ANSI F75.
28-65G05 KL 26D
Entrance / Office Function (Key Lock Outside, Pushbutton Lock Inside)
This function provides latch operation by either lever unless the outside lever is locked by the push/turn button on the inside. The push button is released by key outside or lever inside, making it a practical choice where controlled entry is needed on a shielded room. SARGENT lists the 65G05 entrance/office function as ANSI F109.
