Degree Level 1 (DG1) features a utility patented
keyway and provides protection against bumping
for mortise, rim and component fixed cylinders
These cylinders easily retrofit into existing
hardware and are appropriate for most
applications The keys for DG1 can only open
DG1 cylinders
Degree Level 2 (DG2) builds on the utility
patented keyway of DG1 and adds patented side
bar locking with unique angled bottom pins that
provide end users with geographical exclusivity
Cylinders provide protection against bumping
and picking Because of its superior key control
and patent protection until 2027, DG2 products
are recommended for use in conjunction with
DG3 for new installations or when retrofitting
systems, including large format interchangeable
core systems
Degree Level 3 (DG3) combines the utility
patented keyway and side bar locking with
unique angled bottom pins that provide end
users with geographical exclusivity, and adds
certification to UL437 They are classified as high
security because of their superior resistance to
physical attack and protection against unauthorized
key duplication Because of its superior key control,
patent protection until 2027, and physical
strength, we recommend DG3 products for new
high-security installations or when retrofitting
systems, including large format interchangeable
core systems SARGENT also offers anti-vandal
and high security locksets that complement
DG3 cylinders for those openings most vulnerable
