Sargent 646 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Sargent 646 top strike do on a surface vertical rod exit device?
The 646 is the top strike, the piece that mounts at the head of the frame and receives the top rod of a Sargent surface vertical rod exit device. It's the engagement point that lets the top latch bolt secure the door at the header. It is a replacement part, not a complete device, so you're buying it to restore or re-hardware an existing surface vertical rod installation rather than to outfit a bare door.
2) My exit device is a Sargent 8600 rim device. Will the 646 top strike work?
No. The 646 is a top strike for surface vertical rod devices only, matched to the Sargent 2727, 3727, 8700, and 9700 series. A rim device latches into a strike on the frame at the lock edge, not at the head, so it takes a rim strike instead. Confirm the series stamped on your device before ordering this part.
3) Can I use the Sargent 646 top strike to replace a damaged strike on an existing exit device without changing the whole device?
That's exactly what it's for. The 646 is catalogued by Sargent as a replacement part, so a bent or broken top strike on a 2727, 3727, 8700, or 9700 surface vertical rod device can be swapped without touching the pushbar, rods, or bottom hardware. Match the device series first, then reuse the existing mounting location.
4) Does installing the Sargent 646 top strike require cutting or mortising the frame?
It's a surface mounted strike, so it fastens to the face of the header rather than dropping into a mortised pocket. That keeps frame prep minimal compared with a concealed vertical rod top strike, which does need the head machined. It still has to line up with the top rod, so mount it against the device's own template.
5) I have a pair of doors with no center mullion. Is a top strike like the Sargent 646 what I need?
On a pair without a mullion, surface vertical rod devices are the usual answer because each leaf latches at the head and the threshold instead of into a center post. The 646 is the top half of that arrangement, the strike the upper rod engages at the header. If your pair already runs Sargent 2727, 3727, 8700, or 9700 vertical rod devices, this is the top strike for it. If your opening has a removable mullion and rim devices, you need rim strikes, not this.
6) Do I get the bottom strike too when I order the Sargent 646?
No. The 646 is the top strike alone. A surface vertical rod device engages at both the head and the sill, so if the bottom strike or floor strike on your opening is also worn or missing, that's a separate part number from the Sargent parts list for your device series.
7) Is the Sargent 646 top strike suitable for a high traffic commercial opening?
Yes, it's a commercial part. The 646 is built to Sargent's commercial-grade standard for vertical rod exit hardware and gets used on office buildings, schools, hospitals, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential, and government facilities. It is not a residential-duty item.
