    Sargent 2727E EN – Frequently Asked Questions

    1) Will the Sargent 2727 exit device fit a 36 inch door?
    Yes. The Sargent 2727 surface vertical rod device is offered in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch device sizes, so a 36 inch leaf is a standard fit. Pick the device size to suit the leaf width rather than trimming a longer bar. Note the description calls for a minimum 48 inch door width on this device, so on narrower leaves confirm the opening against the Sargent template before you order.
    2) Does the Sargent 2727 need to be ordered left hand or right hand?
    No handing to specify. The 2727 is field reversible, so one device covers both left and right hand openings without extra parts. That matters for property managers and MRO stockrooms, since a single part number can sit on the shelf and cover any exit door in the building.
    3) Can I use the Sargent 2727 on a fire rated stairwell door?
    Yes, when you order the fire rated build. The 2727 is UL-cUL fire rated up to 3 hours with NFPA 80 compliance, and fire rated is a selectable option on the device, offered both ways. Fire rated devices have no dogging, so the latches stay active at all times on a rated opening.
    4) Do I need a mullion with the Sargent 2727 on a pair of doors?
    No. A surface vertical rod device latches at the head and the sill of its own leaf, so a pair of 2727 devices secures a pair of doors with a clear opening between them, no center mullion. If you want a rim device instead, that is where a mullion comes in: the Sargent 2828 rim device pairs with removable mullions like the 980 aluminum or 12-980 fire rated steel mullion, and the L980 versions add a lockable cylinder.
    5) Is the Sargent 2727 a wide stile or narrow stile exit device?
    Wide stile. The 2727 is built for wide stile doors, typically hollow metal and wood, with a full-length pushpad running the width of the device. On a narrow stile aluminum storefront you want a narrow stile device instead, such as the Corbin Russwin ED4400 or the TownSteel ED3727.
    6) Our door is a narrow stile aluminum storefront - the Sargent 2727 is wide stile. What surface vertical rod device should we use instead?
    For a narrow stile opening, look at the Von Duprin 3327A, a Grade 1 grooved case narrow stile surface vertical rod device for 36 inch doors and 1-3/4 inch thickness, or the Von Duprin 7527, a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device in the 75 Series for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Corbin Russwin ED4400 is another Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod at 36 inches that accepts trim, and the Adams Rite 8200 Series is a narrow stile life safety version at 30 inches. The Sargent 2727 is a wide stile device and is not intended for a narrow stile storefront.
    7) Which surface vertical rod devices look like the Sargent 2727 but will not work on a fire door?
    Several wide stile devices are dimensionally similar but are not fire rated: the Adams Rite 8100 Series life safety device, the Falcon 25-V-EO wide stile exit only device, the BEST Precision 2201 Series 36 inch wide stile device, the TownSteel ED8927 Grade 1 wide stile device, and the Design Hardware 1000V and 2000V series. The Dexter ED2000 is a Grade 2 non fire rated vertical rod panic device. If the opening is a labeled fire door, use a fire rated build of the Sargent 2727 or another fire rated device such as the TownSteel EF9727.
    8) Is the Sargent 2727 heavy duty enough for a high traffic school exit?
    It is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, the heaviest commercial rating, with steel endcaps and covers. That is the right specification for school corridors, stadium exits and any door taking constant abuse. A Grade 2 device like the Dexter ED2000 or the TownSteel TS5100 is a lighter-duty option for low traffic openings and will not meet a Grade 1 spec on a drawing.
    9) Is the Sargent 2727 ADA compliant for a public building exit?
    Yes. The 2727 is ADA compliant and the full-length pushpad means any point across the door width releases the latches, which is what satisfies the accessible operation requirement. Sargent also lists it against NFPA 101 and ANSI/BHMA A156.3 for exit device performance.
    10) What is the difference between the Sargent 2727 and the Von Duprin 2227 vertical rod device?
    Both are Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod devices. The Von Duprin 2227-3FT is a 36 inch non-handed unit for 1-3/4 inch doors and is not fire rated. The Sargent 2727 is field reversible, comes in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch sizes, and is available fire rated up to 3 hours. If the opening is in a rated wall, the Sargent is the one that can carry the label.
    11) Can I use a device that accepts outside lever trim in place of the Sargent 2727?
    Only if the trim function is what you actually want. The Sargent 2727 is an exit only device, with no outside operating trim. If the opening needs outside key or lever entry, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod listed as exit only and accepts trim, the ED4400 is the narrow stile equivalent that accepts trim, and the ED7400 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar surface vertical rod that accepts operator trim. All three are listed for 1-3/4 inch doors and non fire rated.
    12) Which other vertical rod exit devices are reversible or non-handed like the Sargent 2727?
    The Sargent 2727 is field reversible, so one device serves a left hand or right hand opening. Comparable non-handed choices include the BEST Precision 5201 Series, a 36 inch surface vertical rod device described as reversible, the Von Duprin 2227 at 36 inches described as non-handed, and the Orca Hardware OED56 Series 36 inch device, which is non-handed and supplied less bottom rod. Of those three, all are non fire rated, while the Sargent 2727 is built in both fire rated and non fire rated versions.
    13) Our doors are wood flush doors - which vertical rod devices are listed as wood door compatible alongside the Sargent 2727?
    The TownSteel EF9727, ED8927 and ED3727 are all listed as wood door compatible; the EF9727 is the fire rated Grade 1 wide stile one of the three. By contrast, the Von Duprin 7527 and 7827 are listed as not wood door compatible. The Sargent 2727 is a wide stile device, which is the stile style normally used on flush wood and hollow metal doors, and it is offered in fire rated builds for labeled wood openings.
    14) Is a crossbar device like the Von Duprin 3327A or Corbin Russwin ED7400 interchangeable with the Sargent 2727?
    They are different actuator styles. The Sargent 2727 uses a full length pushpad with steel endcaps and covers. The Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a crossbar surface vertical rod device, Grade 1 narrow stile for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Von Duprin 3327A is a grooved case narrow stile device for 36 inch doors. Both of those are narrow stile and non fire rated, so on a wide stile labeled fire door they are not a drop-in for the 2727.
    15) Which finishes does the Sargent 2727 come in, and will they match my existing exit doors?
    Five sprayed enamel finishes across every size: EAB sprayed brass, EB sprayed bronze to match dark satin bronze, ED sprayed bronze to match dark statuary bronze, EN sprayed aluminum, and EP sprayed bronze to match satin bronze. The EB, ED and EP enamels are formulated to match those bronze tones, so they blend with existing bronze hardware on a fleet of doors without repainting the openings.
