Sargent 13-0512 Mortise Cylinder Cam | For Adams Rite Locksets

The Sargent 13-0512 (also known as the Sargent 101 Cam) is a specialized architectural component designed to bridge the gap between Sargent cylinders and commercial storefront hardware. This "AR Type" cam is specifically shaped to operate the deadbolts and deadlatches found in Adams Rite 1850 and 4700 series locksets. Without the correct cam profile, even the highest-quality cylinder will fail to engage the lock mechanism; the 13-0512 ensures perfect mechanical timing and reliable operation for every turn of the key.

Precision Engineering & Performance Features

• Storefront Compatibility: Specifically engineered for Adams Rite 1850, 4700, and similar narrow-stile aluminum storefront locks commonly found in retail and office entrances.
  
• The "101" Designation: Recognized industry-wide as the Sargent 101 Cam, making it easy for locksmiths and facility managers to identify the correct part for AR-style applications.
• Seamless Cylinder Integration: Mounts securely to the back of standard Sargent mortise cylinders, allowing you to maintain a consistent Sargent key system across all door types.
• Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-strength alloys to resist wear and prevent "rounding" of the cam edges, ensuring a long service life even in high-traffic entrance doors.
• Critical Security Component: Provides the exact throw distance and lift required to fully retract or engage the lock bolt, preventing partial locking issues.

The Sargent 13-0512 is a "locksmith's favorite" for storefront retrofits. When moving a facility to a Sargent master key system, you'll often find that the existing storefront doors use Adams Rite hardware. Swapping the factory cam for this 101 cam is the only way to make those cylinders functional. For a secure installation, always ensure the two cam screws are tightened firmly and treated with a drop of thread-locker to prevent them from backing out inside the lock body.

Installation Note: Before finalizing your install, test the key rotation several times. The 13-0512 cam should move the bolt smoothly without catching. If you experience resistance, check that the cylinder is threaded into the lockset at the correct depth and that the cylinder's thru bolts or set screws are properly seated.
