Sargent 744 ETL RHRB 10B – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sargent 744 trim work on a rim exit device?
No. The Sargent 744 trim is built for Surface Vertical Rod and Mortise devices in the 8700 and 8900 Series. If you have a rim device, this is the wrong trim. For a nightlatch trim on other platforms, the Corbin Russwin VT957ET escutcheon covers the ED5000 Series, and the Von Duprin 110MD-NL nightlatch cylinder assembly covers 22, 55 and 98/99 devices.
2) What does night latch function mean on the Sargent 744 exit trim?
Night latch (key retracts latch) means the lever is freewheeling at all times, it never retracts the latch. The key does the work: turn the cylinder and the latch pulls back so you can enter. Let go and the door is secure again. That is the function you want on an exterior exit door where nobody should get in without a key, but egress from the inside is always free through the exit device.
3) Do I have to order the Sargent 744 by handing?
Yes, handing is an order choice on the 744 trim: LHR (left hand reverse) or RHR (right hand reverse). Exit doors swing out, so the handing is always a reverse bevel call. Stand outside the door, note which side the hinges are on, and pick to match.
4) Does the Sargent 744 trim come with a cylinder?
The cylinder is separate. The 744 takes a 1-3/4 inch mortise cylinder when used on a mortise device, so plan on ordering that cylinder in your building's keyway along with the trim.
5) What do I need to specify to order a Sargent 744 trim correctly?
Four things: model 744, the ET lever letter (A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W), handing (LHR or RHR), and finish from the twelve codes offered. Confirm your device is an 8700 or 8900 Series surface vertical rod or mortise unit, and order the 1-3/4 inch mortise cylinder separately for mortise applications.
6) Is the Sargent 744 the right trim for a classroom or storeroom opening?
No. The Sargent 744 is a night latch trim, meaning the key retracts the latch and the lever does not operate the device on its own. For a classroom opening, the Accentra 446F is a Grade 1 classroom function trim with the Augusta lever and the Falcon 510L is a heavy duty classroom function lever trim for 24/25 Series devices. For a storeroom opening, the Design Hardware KIL storeroom trim is Grade 1 with a Schlage C keyway and flat lever, the Pamex E9000 is a Grade 1 storeroom trim with L3 lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Tell EDELT80 is a storeroom function escutcheon lever trim for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
7) What is the closest night latch lever trim to the Sargent 744 from another manufacturer?
The Sargent 744 is a night latch function exit device trim where the key retracts the latch. Two peers carry the same function in a lever escutcheon format: the Corbin Russwin VT957ET, a nightlatch escutcheon trim in stamped or formed stainless steel for ED5000 Series devices, and the Dorma YR03R wide stile escutcheon trim with R lever, nightlatch function, supplied less cylinder. The Accentra AU-441F is also a night latch keyed lever trim, using the Augusta lever. The deciding factor is which exit device family the trim mounts to - the 744 is built for Sargent 8700 and 8900 Series surface vertical rod and mortise devices, so the peers apply only when the device itself is being changed.
8) I need the outside lever to always retract the latch, not just by key. What trim should I use instead of the Sargent 744?
The Sargent 744 is a night latch trim - the key retracts the latch, so the lever alone does not release the device. For always-unlocked outside operation, a passage function trim is the correct choice: the Corbin Russwin 3310AET is passage function for ED3000 Series rim, surface vertical rod and mortise devices, the Corbin Russwin x910ET is passage function heavy-duty trim for ED5200S, ED5200, ED5400 and ED5800 Series, and the Arrow SRX01 is a passage function Sierra lever trim with rose for ED910, S1150 and S1250 devices. Match the trim to the exit device series already on the door.
9) Can I match the Sargent 744 trim to a dark bronze or a painted door?
Twelve finishes are available, including 10B dark oxidized satin bronze oil rubbed, 10BE, 10BL clear coated, 20D dark statuary bronze lacquered, 03 bright brass, 04 satin brass, 09 bright bronze, 10 satin bronze, 32 bright stainless, 32D satin stainless, plus BSP black suede and WSP white suede powder coat. The two powder coats are what you use to blend with painted or anodized dark storefronts.
10) Is the Sargent 744 trim heavy enough for a school or hospital exterior door?
It is BHMA Grade 1 and catalogued for commercial use, which is the top durability tier for exit hardware trim and the level specified for high traffic institutional openings. The freewheeling lever also protects the mechanism from forced-lever abuse, since the lever turns without driving anything.
11) Is there a simpler night latch option than the Sargent 744 lever trim?
Yes. The Sargent 744 is a freewheeling lever trim offered in eight ET lever styles from A through W, which is more hardware than some openings need. If the opening only needs a keyed pull, the Design Hardware 2P-03NL is a Grade 1 pull trim with a cylinder hole in night latch form for 1000R and 2000R devices, the Dexter ED1500T pull trim is a Grade 1 nightlatch function trim with a raised lip pull plate, and the Von Duprin 110MD-NL is a Grade 1 night latch cylinder assembly for metal and wood doors on 22, 55 and 98/99 devices. A pull gives no lever to grab but keeps the same key-retracts-latch behavior.
12) Does the Sargent 744 need to be ordered by hand like its alternatives?
The Sargent 744 is ordered by handing, in LHR left hand reverse or RHR right hand reverse. Among the alternatives, the Command Access ET26 electrified exit trim is field reversible, so a single part covers either hand on the door. If a job has mixed handing and you want one line item to stock, that reversibility is the difference to weigh; for the 744 you confirm the swing before the order goes in.
13) What is the difference between the Sargent 744 and an entry function exit trim?
The Sargent 744 is a night latch trim: the key retracts the latch and the lever does not release the device. Entry function trims are keyed but operate the latch through the lever once unlocked. Entry peers include the Delaney 500L in CT, MD and SD lever styles, the Design Hardware LE08 flat lever escutcheon trim for 1000R and 2000R devices, and the Tell EDELT53 escutcheon lever trim for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Choose by whether the outside lever should ever operate the latch.
14) Do any alternatives to the Sargent 744 use a thumbpiece instead of a lever?
Yes. The Sargent 744 is a lever trim, offered in eight ET lever shapes. If a thumbpiece and pull plate suit the building better, the Dexter ED1000T-CLRM-TP-NC is a Grade 1 classroom function trim with thumbpiece, pull plate and cylinder prep supplied less cylinder, and the Tell EDTHP53 is a thumbpiece trim in keyed entry function for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Note both carry different functions than the 744 night latch, so verify how the outside side needs to behave before switching.
