    Sargent 3828E EB – Frequently Asked Questions

    1) What door widths does the Sargent 3828 rim exit device cover?
    The Sargent 3828 comes in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch device lengths, so you can cover a standard 3 foot opening right up to a 4 foot leaf. Pick the device length to suit the door width, and keep in mind the pushpad runs slightly more than half the device length, which is what keeps it code compliant for egress. Door heights up to 96 inches are covered.
    2) Is the Sargent 3828 fire rated, and do I have to order it that way?
    Both. Fire rated and non fire rated builds are offered on every size and finish, so it is a choice you make at order time. The fire rated build carries a 3 hour rating for use in fire rated door assemblies. On a fire door you cannot use a dogged device, so specify the fire rated version; for a standard egress opening the non rated version is fine.
    3) Do I need to specify handing for the Sargent 3828?
    No handing needed. The 3828 is reversible and non handed, so one part number covers left and right hand openings. That is useful for a property manager or MRO buyer stocking spares, since a single device covers every door in the building rather than two mirrored versions.
    4) Does the Sargent 3828 accept lever trim for outside entry?
    No, it is an exit only device, meaning push to exit from the inside with no outside operating trim. If you need key or lever access from the outside, you want a device listed as accepting trim, such as the Corbin Russwin ED5200 or ED4200, both of which are exit only plus trim capable.
    5) What is the closest wide stile pushpad rim exit device to the Sargent 3828?
    The Von Duprin 22-3FT is the nearest match: a wide stile pushpad rim exit device, 36 inch, non-handed, ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Sargent 3828 is also a Grade 1 wide stile reversible pushpad rim device, exit only. The Von Duprin 22-3FT is listed as not fire rated, while the 3828 comes in both fire rated and non-fire-rated versions, so if the opening is in a fire-rated assembly the 3828 fire rated build is the direct answer.
    6) What should I use instead of the Sargent 3828 on a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
    The Sargent 3828 is a wide stile device and needs the stile width to suit. For narrow stile aluminum openings, Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices include the Adams Rite 8800 Series 30 inch, which fits 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 36 inch for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon 19-R exit only 36 inch. If the storefront opening is fire rated, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim device is fire rated and Grade 1.
    7) Which devices look like a substitute for the Sargent 3828 but will not work as a mechanical exit device?
    Several bars in the same shape are not mechanical rim latches. The SDC MSB550 Series 36 inch is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC SureExit PSB560 Series 36 inch is a pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology, both of which need an electrified locking system to secure the door. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a dummy exit device with no latching function. The Sargent 3828 is a mechanical rim exit device with an exit only function.
    8) What rim exit device should I use if I need lever trim for outside access instead of the exit only Sargent 3828?
    The Sargent 3828 is an exit only device with no outside trim function. If the opening needs keyed or lever entry from outside, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile device is listed as exit only and accepts trim, as is the Corbin Russwin ED4200 36 inch narrow stile Grade 1. The Detex V4003A/03AN wide stile Grade 1 device comes with night latch trim.
    9) Is the Sargent 3828 heavy duty enough for a high traffic school or hospital entrance?
    It is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, the heaviest commercial rating, with steel endcaps and covers built to take abuse in high traffic openings. Grade 1 is what an institutional spec normally calls for on main egress doors in education, healthcare and government buildings. Grade 2 devices such as the Cal-Royal 5000 or 5500 sit below it.
    10) What is the difference between the Sargent 3828 and a crossbar rim exit device like the Corbin Russwin ED3200?
    The Sargent 3828 uses a pushpad touch bar that extends slightly more than half the device length. The Corbin Russwin ED3000 Series ED3200 48 inch is a crossbar rim exit device, Grade 1 wide stile for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch is also a crossbar rim panic device, wide stile exit only. Crossbar devices present a horizontal bar rather than a flat pad, which changes the appearance and the actuation surface on the door.
    11) Is there a lower-cost alternative to the Sargent 3828 for a light traffic exit door?
    If the opening does not require Grade 1, the Cal-Royal 5500 48 inch push bar rim exit device is Grade 2 heavy duty, and the Cal-Royal 5000 36 inch touch bar device is a Grade 2 chassis. The Design Hardware 2000R 33 inch is a standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging. The Sargent 3828 is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, which is what a specification calling for Grade 1 egress hardware will require.
    12) If I need a vertical rod device rather than a rim device like the Sargent 3828, what are the options?
    The Sargent 3828 is a rim device that latches to a strike on the frame or mullion. Where the opening calls for top and bottom latching, the Hager 4501 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod exit device with a wide stile pushpad, and the Hager 4601 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device in narrow stile. Both are listed as not fire rated.
    13) What non-handed rim exit devices compare with the Sargent 3828 for standardizing across a facility?
    The Sargent 3828 is reversible and non-handed, so one part number covers left and right hand openings. Comparable non-handed choices include the BEST Precision 5101 Series rim exit device with a non-handed universal design, the BEST 2401 Series narrow stile exit only non-handed device, the CRL Jackson 1295 Series non-handed push pad rim panic device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Von Duprin 22-3FT 36 inch non-handed Grade 1 wide stile pushpad device.
    14) Is the Dexter ED1000 a workable alternative to the Sargent 3828?
    Yes, within the sizes offered. The Dexter ED1000 Series is a Grade 1 rim exit device available as a 3FT and a 4FT exit only device, plus a Grade 1 fire rated version, which parallels the Sargent 3828 being offered in both fire rated and non-fire-rated builds. Neither the Dexter ED1000 devices nor the Sargent 3828 are listed as wood door compatible.
    15) What finishes does the Sargent 3828 exit device come in?
    Five sprayed enamel finishes across all sizes: 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. If you are matching other openings in a building, EN aluminum is the usual choice against aluminum or painted frames, EB and ED against darker bronze hardware.
