Sargent 12-8875E 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does fail-safe mean on the Sargent 12-8875 exit device, and what happens when power drops?
Fail-safe on the 12-8875 means the electro-mechanical outside trim unlocks when power is lost, so the opening can be entered as well as exited during a power failure. Egress from the inside is always free through the push rail regardless of power, which is what the UL305 panic listing covers. If you need the opening to stay locked from the outside when power drops, fail-safe is the wrong choice and you want a fail-secure electrified device instead.
2) Can I use this Sargent exit device on a fire rated door?
Yes. The 12-8875 is fire rated and carries UL10C Fire and UL305 Panic listings, so it is legal on a labeled fire door assembly. One consequence of that: fire rated exit devices cannot be mechanically dogged down, so if your job needs the door to push free during business hours, you would specify the electric dogging or remote latch retraction electric option rather than hex dogging.
3) What size Sargent 8875 do I order for a 36 inch door?
Device length is ordered to the door width. The 8875 comes in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch device lengths, so a 36 inch leaf takes the 36 inch device. Note that if you add the AL alarmed electric option, the door must be at least 36 inches wide, so that option is off the table on a 32 inch device.
4) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Sargent 12-8875?
Only if you order lever trim. The device itself is ordered without handing, but if you select one of the ET lever trims you must call out RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse). Exit devices swing out, so the hand is always a reverse hand. If you order the device with no trim, handing does not come into it.
5) Is the Sargent 12-8875 12 volt or 24 volt?
Both. Voltage is a required selection on the 8875, 12V or 24V, so match it to the power supply feeding the opening before you order. Confirm the supply's current capacity as well, since latch retraction draws considerably more than a simple trim solenoid.
6) Will one Sargent 8875 secure a pair of doors, or do I need something else?
A rim device latches into a strike at the edge of the opening, so on a pair you need a removable mullion between the leaves for each device to latch into. The 8875 works on single doors and on pairs with mullions. If you cannot use a mullion because the opening has to be clear full width, a rim device is not the right choice and you should look at a vertical rod device, such as the Hager 4501 concealed vertical rod for wide stile doors.
7) The door has a narrow stile - can the Sargent 12-8875 still be used?
No. The Sargent 12-8875 is built for wide stile applications. On a narrow stile aluminum door, look instead at the Corbin Russwin ED4200 Grade 1 narrow stile rim device, the Falcon 19-R in 36 inch narrow stile, the TownSteel ED3700 or ED8900 narrow stile devices, or the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch device, which is the narrow stile option in the set that is fire rated. If the opening is fire labeled and narrow stile, the Adams Rite 3700 is the one that holds both conditions.
8) What is the closest fire rated rim exit device to the Sargent 12-8875 if a different brand is required?
The Sargent 12-8875 is a Grade 1 fire rated wide stile rim exit device with electro-mechanical fail-safe operation. If the specification allows another brand on a fire rated opening, the Dexter ED1000 Series Grade 1 fire rated rim exit device is the nearest match on rating and grade, and the Marks USA M9900F is offered fire rated in both 36 inch and 48 inch lengths. The important difference is that those are mechanical devices, while the 12-8875 carries an electro-mechanical fail-safe function with 12V and 24V options, so access control tie-in has to be solved separately with the mechanical alternates.
9) If the opening does not need electrification, what mechanical rim device covers the same duty as the Sargent 12-8875?
For a non-electrified opening, the Von Duprin 22 Series 36 inch wide stile pushpad rim device and the Detex Advantex 10 Series 36 inch wide stile device are both Grade 1 wide stile rim devices, as is the TownSteel ED9700 in 36 inch. All three are listed non fire rated, so they suit openings without a fire label. The Sargent 12-8875 is the one to keep when the door is fire rated and the hardware has to unlock on power loss.
10) What other electrified exit hardware competes with the Sargent 12-8875?
On the electrified side, the SDC Spectra S6136 is a 36 inch electrified architectural rim exit device built for a 4 inch wide stile and doors 1-3/4 to 2 inch thick, the Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Dormakaba E2103 is a 36 inch electrified rim device supplied with 4908A trim in a classroom function. The SDC S6136, SDC PSB560 pressure sense bar and Securitron EMB are not fire rated devices, so the Sargent 12-8875 remains the choice where a fire labeled opening needs fail-safe electrification.
11) Does the Sargent 8875 come with a cylinder, or do I have to order one separately?
A cylinder is included with the 12-8875, so the device arrives ready to install without sourcing a rim cylinder separately. If you are keying a building to an existing Sargent system, coordinate the keyway and keying with your locksmith before install.
12) Which lever trim should I pick for the Sargent 8800 exit device?
Eight ET lever designs are offered on the 8875: A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W levers. The choice is aesthetic and about matching the lever design already on the rest of the building's openings; all of them are ET trim on the same device. You can also order the device with no trim at all if the outside face is exit only or takes a pull.
13) Is the Sargent 8800 Grade 1, and what does that mean for a high traffic entrance?
The 8875 meets ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1, the top commercial rating for exit devices, which is the grade specified for school, hospital and public building entrances that see constant use. Grade 1 covers cycle life and strength testing, so it is the grade to hold the line on when standardizing a facility. Grade 2 alternatives, like the Cal-Royal 5000 and 5500 rim devices, sit a step below that.
14) I need an electrified rim exit device but not a full Sargent 8800. What else is there?
Two other electrified approaches we carry. The SDC S6000 Series S6136 is an electrified architectural rim device for wide stile doors with a 4 inch stile, listed for 1-3/4 to 2 inch door thickness. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar listed for 2-1/4 inch doors. Neither of those is fire rated, though, so on a labeled fire door opening the fire rated 8875 is the one that qualifies.
15) What is the non-electrified equivalent if I do not need access control on this opening?
If the opening does not need electric release, a mechanical wide stile rim device is simpler and cheaper to install since there is no power transfer or power supply. The Von Duprin 22 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 non-handed wide stile pushpad rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device that accepts trim. Neither is fire rated, so on a labeled door you would need a fire rated mechanical device such as the Marks USA M9900F.
16) Is there a lighter duty rim exit device than the Sargent 12-8875 for a low traffic interior door?
The Sargent 12-8875 is an ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 device. Where Grade 1 is not required, the Cal-Royal 5000 in 36 inch and the Cal-Royal 5500 in 48 inch are heavy duty Grade 2 rim devices, and the Design Hardware 2000R is a 33 inch standard duty wide stile rim device. None of those three are fire rated, so they are limited to openings without a fire label and without an electrified requirement.
17) What looks like a substitute for the Sargent 12-8875 but is not a panic device?
Two items in the same family read like exit devices and are not drop-in replacements. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a super heavy duty dummy exit device in a wide stile design, with no latching function at all, and the Dexter ED1500-EXTRD-SP is a 12 inch extension rod assembly for ED1500 devices rather than a device. The SDC MSB550 is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, which is a different locking approach than the latching rim device the Sargent 12-8875 provides.
18) We only need exit function with no lever trim - is there a simpler device than the Sargent 12-8875?
The Sargent 12-8875 can be ordered with ET trim in A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W lever styles, or as the device only. If lever trim is never going to be added, exit only devices simplify the order: the Corbin Russwin ED2200 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile exit only rim device, the Imperial USA ED-501 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile rim panic device in exit only, and the Orca OED85 is a 36 inch fire rated exit only rim device. Among those, the Orca OED85 is the one that holds a fire rating.
19) What is the crossbar alternative if a pushpad device like the Sargent 12-8875 is not wanted?
The Sargent 12-8875 is a pushpad style wide stile rim device. Where a crossbar look is specified, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim exit device for wide stile doors 1-3/4 inch thick, and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device in wide stile, exit only. Both are listed non fire rated, so they do not carry over to a fire labeled opening.
20) What finishes does the Sargent 8875 exit device come in to match the rest of my building?
Twelve finishes are offered: 03 bright brass, 04 satin brass, 09 bright bronze, 10 satin bronze, 10B dark oxidized satin bronze oil rubbed, 10BE, 10BL, 20D dark statuary bronze lacquered, 32 bright stainless, 32D satin stainless, plus BSP black and WSP white suede powder coat. 32D satin stainless is the usual commercial standard if you are matching existing institutional hardware.
21) Is there a hurricane rated version of the Sargent 8800 rim device?
Yes. For openings that have to meet hurricane impact requirements, Sargent offers the HC8800 and WS8800 variants of the 8800 Series rather than the standard 8800.
