 Series

The SARGENT Signature Series protected cylinder and key program is a unique configuration of  

internal components within the cylinder barrel, body and dimpling on the key.

To further protect your Signature system, SARGENT assigns a Signature Series seven-digit code pattern.   
That Signature configuration process is protected by the United States SARGENT is committed to 

restricting and controlling the distribution of these protected patterns.
Based upon a pre-defined geographical area, Signature code patterns will not be issued to any other 

facility within the agreed upon geographical boundaries.
Component parts containing your Signature code pattern (keys, complete cylinder assemblies 

and cylinder barrels) are only available for purchase through an authorized SARGENT distributor.
Please refer to the section entitled ”How to Order Signature Components” for further information.

The blending of these components and machining processes provides SARGENT  

a vast number of unique individual patterns. 
Your particular pattern has been chosen from that assortment.  
In essence we have created individual keyways for a facility’s  

Signature cylinders and keys.

The dimple configuration on your Signature code pattern is milled into the key blank at the SARGENT factory. In 

order to maintain the control, security and integrity of your key system, it is vital to limit access to your Signature 

key blanks.
Whether you have your own internal lock and cylinder servicing capabilities or depend on an outside service,  

it is important that you place orders for your facility with an authorized SARGENT distributor for components 

containing the unique Signature pattern (keys, key blanks, cylinders, cylinder barrels). An updated record 

containing the name, contacts, and address of your selected servicing group must be on file at SARGENT with 

any changes reported to SARGENT on your letterhead.
For those in need of an outside service for cylinder keying, key cutting and system maintenance, please contact 

your SARGENT distributor.
