Sargent 97-0350 (#42) Cylinder Trim Ring | US26D Brushed Chrome

The Sargent 97-0350 is a genuine OEM replacement cylinder trim ring, specifically cataloged as the #42 Collar. Engineered for use with the Sargent 700 Series ET (Extra Thick) Outside Trim, this collar bridges the gap between the mortise cylinder head and the trim face. Finished in US26D (626) Brushed Chrome, it provides a durable, corrosion-resistant aesthetic that matches standard commercial hardware finishes perfectly.

Architectural Grade Features & Compatibility

• Standard #42 Profile: The industry-recognized Sargent #42 collar design, ensuring a precise fit for standard 1-1/8" to 1-1/4" mortise cylinders.
• Optimized for 700 Series ET Trim: Tailored specifically to seat perfectly within the cylinder pocket of Sargent’s heavy-duty ET lever and pull trim.
• Premium US26D Finish: Features a high-quality Brushed Chrome (Satin Chrome) finish that is ideal for high-traffic schools, hospitals, and office buildings.
  
• Tamper-Resistant Design: By filling the void between the cylinder and the trim, this collar protects the cylinder from pipe-wrench attacks and prying.
• Precision Alignment: Ensures the cylinder sits at the correct depth for the cam to engage the internal exit device mechanism reliably.

The Sargent 97-0350 is more than just a decorative piece; it is vital for the mechanical timing of your exit device. If the cylinder is sitted too deep, the key may not turn the cam far enough to retract the latches. Conversely, if it sits too far out, the cylinder becomes a security vulnerability.

Installation Note: When installing this collar on a 700 Series ET trim, ensure the mortise cylinder is threaded through the collar and into the trim body until it is snug. Because ET trim is often secured to the door using high-strength thru bolts, verify that the trim is perfectly flat against the door face before final tightening of the cylinder set screw to prevent binding.
