Sargent 55-R56A-F-10B – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Sargent 55-R56A retrofit kit actually do to an 80 Series exit device?
It converts a standard mechanical rail 80 Series exit device into an automated one. The kit ships with the motor bracket and push rail assembly, the motor controller, ribbon wiring, and the fasteners for the install. The mechanical rail function is retained, so the device still works by push in a power-down condition while gaining motorized operation.
2) F rail or G rail on the Sargent 55-R56A kit, how do I pick?
Rail size is set by the device already on the door, not by preference. F rail measures 11-1/4 inches and G rail measures 20-1/2 inches, matching the rail length of the 80 Series device being retrofitted. Measure the existing push rail before ordering; an F kit will not span a G rail opening.
3) Do I still get out if the power fails on a motorized Sargent 80 Series exit device?
Yes. The retrofit keeps the mechanical rail design intact and adds automated capability on top of it, so pushing the rail releases the latch regardless of the motor controller state. Egress does not depend on the electronics.
4) What finishes does the Sargent 55-R56A retrofit kit come in?
Two: 32D satin stainless steel and 10B dark oxidized satin bronze, oil rubbed. Both are offered in either rail length, so a building standardized on 32D across its exit hardware can match the retrofitted rail to the rest of the openings without a finish break.
5) Does the Sargent 55-R56A kit include a request to exit switch?
Yes, a non-contact request to exit switch is part of the kit. Non-contact means there is no mechanical switch contact riding the rail to wear out, which matters on high-traffic openings where a conventional RX switch is the first thing to fail. It gives the access control panel a clean egress signal when the rail is pushed.
6) What else do I need besides the Sargent 55-R56A kit to finish an automated exit device install?
The kit covers the device side: motor bracket, push rail assembly, motor controller, ribbon wiring, and fasteners. What it does not cover is the rest of the system. Plan on a power supply and the wiring run to the controller, plus whatever actuates it (card reader, push plate, or access control output) and a mounting location for the controller with clearance for the wiring and later service access. Transfer of power through the door to the device also has to exist or be added.
7) Is the Sargent 55-R56A rated for commercial use or is it a light-duty part?
It is commercial door hardware, intended for openings in office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, industrial plants, multi-tenant residential, and government facilities. It is not a residential product.
