Sargent 5556-8904E RHR 3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What door widths does the Sargent 8800 Series night latch exit device cover?
Four rail sizes are offered: E for 32 inch, F for 36 inch, J for 42 inch and G for 48 inch doors. The F rail is the common 36 inch commercial leaf. Pick the rail by actual door width, not by frame opening.
2) Do I have to specify handing on the Sargent 5556-8804 exit device?
Yes, and it matters. The device is built left hand reverse or right hand reverse only, so determine the swing before ordering. If you need a non-handed device that can be set either way on the job, the Von Duprin 22 Series 36 inch wide stile rim device and the BEST Precision 5101 Series are non-handed designs.
3) What power supply do I need for the electric latch retraction on this Sargent 8800 device?
The 5556-8804 runs on 24VDC continuous duty for remote latch retraction, and it is fail secure, so loss of power leaves the outside locked while the pushpad still gives free egress. Size the supply for continuous duty, not momentary, and wire per Sargent's diagrams.
4) What does the night latch function do on a rim exit device, and is it the right function for a back door?
Night latch means a key in the exterior cylinder retracts the latchbolt to let you in; there is no outside lever or knob. Inside, the pushpad always releases. That makes it a good fit for service and rear entrances where staff enter with a key and the door stays locked to the public. If you want no outside access at all, an exit only device like the Corbin Russwin ED2200 36 inch wide stile is the simpler choice.
5) Why does this Sargent device come less dogging, and can I hold the door unlatched during business hours?
Less dogging means there is no hex key or cylinder dogging, so the latch re-engages on every cycle and nobody can mechanically hold it unlatched. Daytime free access is handled electrically instead, by energizing the 24VDC latch retraction from the access control schedule. If you want manual hex key dogging on a mechanical device, the Design Hardware 1000R heavy duty rim device and the Stanley Security QED200 Series offer it.
6) If the door is fire rated, what rim exit device should be used instead of the Sargent 5556-8804?
The Sargent 5556-8804 is not fire rated, so a fire-rated opening needs different hardware. Fire-rated rim options include the Dexter ED1000 Series Grade 1 fire-rated rim exit device, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch fire-rated narrow stile rim device with starwheel interlocking, the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch and 48 inch exit-only versions, the Orca OED85 Series 36 inch fire-rated rim device, and the Arrow FS1250 fire-rated 32 inch rim device.
7) The Sargent 5556-8804 is wide stile. What rim exit device fits a narrow stile aluminum door instead?
The Sargent 5556-8804 is built as a wide stile device, so a narrow stile aluminum storefront needs a narrow stile chassis. Narrow stile rim options include the Adams Rite 8800 Series 30 inch device for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the TownSteel ED3700 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile device, the Falcon 19-R 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile exit-only device, and the Detex 40 Advantex extra heavy duty narrow stile device.
8) What is a simpler mechanical substitute for the Sargent 5556-8804 when access control integration is not needed?
The Sargent 5556-8804 carries remote latch retraction and a request-to-exit signal, which only earn their keep on a door tied into an access control system. For a purely mechanical Grade 1 wide stile rim device, the Von Duprin 22-3FT is a 36 inch non-handed wide stile pushpad device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim, and the TownSteel ED1100 is a heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile rim device for 36 inch doors. The Detex 10 Advantex 36 inch wide stile device is rated extra heavy duty.
9) Which rim exit devices will not substitute for the Sargent 5556-8804 because they are exit only?
The Sargent 5556-8804 is a night latch function device, where a key retracts the latchbolt from the outside for controlled entry. Exit-only devices provide no outside key access and cannot cover that opening: the Corbin Russwin ED2200 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile device, the Imperial USA ED-501 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile device, the Marks USA M9900 36 inch device, the Orca OED55 36 inch device, the Falcon 1790EO 42 inch narrow stile device, and the CRL Jackson 1095 and 1295 Series panic devices are all listed as exit only.
10) Is there another night latch rim exit device besides the Sargent 5556-8804?
Yes. The Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device supplied with night latch trim, so it covers the same key-retracts-the-latch entry arrangement as the Sargent 5556-8804. The difference is on the electrical side: the Sargent 5556-8804 adds remote latch retraction and a request-to-exit signal for access control tie-in, while the Detex V40 device is catalogued as a mechanical device for the opening.
11) We need a non-handed rim exit device. The Sargent 5556-8804 is handed - what else is there?
The Sargent 5556-8804 is ordered left hand reverse or right hand reverse, so handing has to be confirmed at the opening. If stocking a single non-handed device is preferable, the Von Duprin 22-3FT is a 36 inch non-handed wide stile pushpad Grade 1 device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the BEST Precision 5101 Series is a non-handed universal rim device, the BEST 2401 Series is a non-handed narrow stile exit-only device, the TownSteel ED8900 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile device is non-handed reversible, and the CRL Jackson 1295 Series push pad panic device is non-handed for 1-3/4 inch doors.
12) What does the REX switch on the Sargent 8800 do for my access control system?
The built in request-to-exit switch signals the panel the instant the pushpad is pressed, so the exit reads as authorized rather than a forced door alarm. Pair it with the 24VDC latch retraction and you get both monitored egress and scheduled remote unlocking off one device.
13) Is a rim device like the Sargent 8800 the right choice for a pair of doors?
A rim device latches into a strike at the frame, so on a pair you need a removable mullion for the strike to land on, or a different device type. Without a mullion, go to a vertical rod device: the Hager 4501 Series 36 inch concealed vertical rod with wide stile pushpad latches at head and sill instead. On a single door with a standard frame, the rim device is the straightforward install.
14) What do I order instead of the Sargent 5556-8804 for a 48 inch opening from another brand?
The Sargent 5556-8804 is built in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch rail sizes, so the 48 inch size is covered within the series. If a different manufacturer is required at 48 inches, the Dormakaba 9300 Series 48 inch wide stile Grade 1 exit-only device is listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch wide stile crossbar device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Marks USA M9900F 48 inch device is fire rated.
15) Can a Grade 2 rim exit device replace the Sargent 5556-8804?
The Sargent 5556-8804 is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1. If a specification only calls for Grade 2, the Cal-Royal 5000 36 inch touch bar device and the Cal-Royal 5500 48 inch push bar device are both listed Grade 2 heavy duty. On a job where the drawing states Grade 1 wide stile, stay with Grade 1 devices such as the TownSteel ED9700 36 inch wide stile or the DORMA 8300 Series wide stile panic rim device.
16) The Sargent 5556-8804 is supplied less dogging. Which comparable devices include mechanical dogging?
The Sargent 5556-8804 is configured less dogging, so the pushpad relatches on every cycle rather than being held down. If an opening needs hold-open during business hours, the Design Hardware 1000R 33 inch heavy duty rim device and the Design Hardware 2000R 33 inch standard duty rim device both come with hex key dogging, as does the Stanley Security QED211 Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device.
17) Is a concealed vertical rod device an alternative to the Sargent 5556-8804?
They solve different openings. The Sargent 5556-8804 is a rim device that latches into a strike on the frame stop. The Hager 4501 Series 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device uses a wide stile pushpad and latches top and bottom through the door, and the Hager 4601 Series 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device does the same on a narrow stile. Concealed vertical rod hardware requires a door prepped for the rods, so it is specified at the door, not retrofitted over a rim prep.
18) Can I match the Sargent 8800 exit device finish to existing hardware in my building?
Twelve finishes are offered: bright and satin brass (03, 04), bright and satin bronze (09, 10), four dark oxidized satin bronze variants (10B oil rubbed, 10BE, 10BL clear coated, 20D dark statuary lacquered), bright and satin stainless (32, 32D), plus black and white suede powder coat (BSP, WSP). For standardizing a commercial building, 32D satin stainless is the usual baseline.
