Sargent 8310E 10BE – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Sargent 8310 exit only / dummy trim function actually do on the outside of the door?
The 8310 is a dummy trim device: the outside trim is fixed and does not retract the latch, so the door is exit only. Push the pad from inside and you get out; from outside nobody gets in without a key-operated or electrically released option. The function code on the Sargent 8300 Series for this is 8310, and the catalog function is listed as Dummy.
2) Will the Sargent 8310 fit an aluminum storefront door with a narrow stile?
Yes, that is what it is built for. The 8310 is a narrow stile mortise device, so the case fits the reduced stile width you get on aluminum storefront and glass front doors. A wide stile device like the Von Duprin 9875 or the Falcon 25-M-EO will not fit that stile.
3) Do I have to specify handing when ordering a Sargent 8310 mortise exit device?
Yes. Handing is a required choice, and the options are RHR (right hand reverse) and LHR (left hand reverse). Mortise devices latch into the frame with a handed lock case, so a wrong hand is not field correctable the way some crossbar devices are. Stand outside the opening: if the door swings toward you and the hinges are on your right, it is RHR.
4) What device lengths does the Sargent 8310 come in, and which one do I need for a 36 inch door?
Four lengths are offered: 32, 36, 42 and 48 inches. Match the length to the door leaf width so the push rail covers at least half the door per life safety practice. A 36 inch door takes the 36 inch device; 42 and 48 inch devices cover wider leaves.
5) Can I add a lever on the outside later, or is the 8310 exit only forever?
You can order it with outside trim from the start. The 8310 takes Sargent ET trim in A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W lever designs, or you can order the exit device only with no trim. Choosing a lever trim changes it from a bare exit only opening to a lever-operated outside.
6) What electric options can I add to a Sargent 8310, and is there a minimum door width for the alarm?
Electrified add-ons include AL alarmed, 53 latchbolt monitor switch, 54 internal micro switch in the ET control, 55 signal switch in the rail, 56 remote dogging / latch retraction, 58 electric dogging and 59 Electroguard. The AL alarmed option requires a 36 inch minimum door width, so it will not go on the 32 inch device.
7) I need a fire rated mortise exit device - can I use the Sargent 8310?
The Sargent 8310 is a Grade 1 narrow stile mortise exit device; for an opening that requires a fire label, look at the Adams Rite 3300 Series, a fire rated Grade 1 mortise exit device for wood and hollow metal doors, or the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL, a Grade 1 3 hour fire rated mortise exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both of those are wide stile devices, so they suit a wood or hollow metal leaf rather than a narrow aluminum stile.
8) What is the closest narrow stile mortise exit device to the Sargent 8310 from another brand?
The two closest narrow stile mortise alternatives are the Adams Rite 8400 Series, a life-safety narrow stile mortise exit device for aluminum doors, and the Von Duprin 5575-3ft, a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar mortise exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors. All three are narrow stile mortise devices rated Grade 1. The differences are in the actuator and configuration: the Sargent 8310 uses a push rail and is ordered by handing, RHR or LHR, in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch sizes, while the Von Duprin 5575 uses a crossbar and is field reversible, and the Adams Rite 8400 is built specifically around aluminum door stiles.
9) My door is a wide stile hollow metal leaf - what should I order instead of the Sargent 8310?
The Sargent 8310 is built for narrow stile doors, so on a wide stile hollow metal leaf the better fits are the Von Duprin 9875-3FT smooth case wide stile mortise device, the Von Duprin 8875-3FT wide stile crossbar mortise device, the Falcon 25-M-EO exit only wide stile mortise device, or the Detex 30 Series Advantex wide stile mortise device. All four are Grade 1. The Von Duprin 9875 and 8875 are non-handed and take a 1-3/4 inch door, and both of those along with the Detex 30 are listed as not compatible with wood doors, so confirm the leaf material before committing.
10) Is the Sargent 8310 the same as a device that accepts keyed or classroom lever trim?
No. The Sargent 8310 is the exit only / dummy trim function of the 8300 Series, so the outside lever is a pull only and does not retract the latch, even when ordered with an ET lever trim in the A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W design. If the outside lever has to operate the latch, the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL is a mortise exit device that accepts passage or classroom lever trim, sold with the trim separate. Match the function to how the opening is meant to be used before ordering.
11) Is the Sargent 8310 strong enough for a high traffic school or hospital entrance?
It is a Grade 1 commercial device and the 8300 Series exceeds ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 cycle and strength testing, with modular construction intended to last the life of the building. That is the grade specified for school, healthcare and government openings.
12) Should I use a mortise exit device like the Sargent 8310 or a rim device?
A mortise device puts the lock case inside the door edge and latches into the frame, which gives a cleaner look and better resistance to prying at the strike, but it requires the door to be prepped for a mortise pocket. A rim device surface mounts with a strike on the frame stop and is far easier to retrofit onto an existing door. The Sargent 8300 Series is also offered in rim, surface vertical rod and concealed vertical rod configurations if the mortise prep is not practical.
13) I have an exit only opening on a hollow metal door, not aluminum. Is there a better fit than the Sargent 8310?
For hollow metal, a wide stile mortise device suits the door better. The Falcon 25-M-EO is an exit only wide stile mortise device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the BEST Precision 2301 Series is an exit only mortise device with heavy wrought construction. The Detex 30 Series Advantex is another Grade 1 wide stile exit only option, though it is not compatible with wood doors.
14) Does the Sargent 8310 come with the outside lever trim, or is that a separate order?
It is a choice you make when ordering. Select None to get the exit device only, or pick one of the ET trims (A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W lever) to have outside trim included. Since the 8310 function is dummy, an ET trim on it is fixed trim for appearance and pull, not a lever that retracts the latch.
15) Which mortise exit devices are non-handed if I do not want to specify handing like the Sargent 8310 requires?
The Sargent 8310 is ordered by handing, RHR or LHR. If you would rather not commit to a hand at the time of order, the Von Duprin 9875-3FT and the Von Duprin 8875-3FT are both non-handed wide stile mortise exit devices, and the Von Duprin 5575-3ft narrow stile crossbar device is field reversible. All three are Grade 1 and take a 1-3/4 inch door.
16) What is a simpler exit only mortise device than the Sargent 8310 if I do not need electric options?
The Sargent 8310 can be ordered with electric options such as alarmed, latchbolt monitor switch, remote dogging / latch retraction, electric dogging and Electroguard. If the opening only needs a mechanical exit, the Falcon 25-M-EO is an exit only Grade 1 mortise device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the BEST Precision 2301 is an exit only mortise device with heavy wrought construction, and the Detex 30 Series Advantex is offered device only, exit only. All three are wide stile, so they suit a wide stile leaf rather than the narrow stile opening the 8310 targets.
17) Is the Adams Rite 8300 Series a direct swap for the Sargent 8310 since both are called 8300?
No, the series numbers are a coincidence. The Sargent 8310 is the exit only / dummy trim narrow stile mortise device in Sargent's 8300 Series. The Adams Rite 8300 Series is a life-safety mortise exit device for wood and hollow metal doors built as a wide stile device. Both are Grade 1 mortise exit devices, but the stile type and door material they are intended for differ, so they are not interchangeable on the same opening.
18) Can I get the Sargent 8310 in black or white to match our storefront?
Yes. Alongside the plated finishes it comes in BSP black suede powder coat and WSP white suede powder coat. The full range also covers 03 bright brass, 04 satin brass, 09 bright bronze, 10 satin bronze, 10B, 10BE and 10BL dark oxidized satin bronze variations, 20D dark statuary bronze lacquered, 32 bright stainless and 32D satin stainless. For matching other openings in a building, 32D satin stainless is the usual commercial standard.
19) What mortise exit device has a recessed push pad instead of the Sargent 8310 rail?
The Von Duprin 9475/9575 Impact Series is a Grade 1 mortise lock exit device with a recessed push pad, built for wide stile doors. The Sargent 8310 is a narrow stile mortise device with a push rail, offered in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch sizes. Choose based on the stile width of the leaf and whether the opening calls for a recessed pad.
