Sargent 8374E 10BE – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What happens to the Sargent 8374 exit device when power is lost?
It locks. The 8374 uses fail-secure electrified trim, so when power is removed the outside lever stays locked and entry requires the key or a restored signal. Free egress from the inside is unaffected, since pushing the rail always retracts the latch. If your facility needs the opening to unlock on power loss (some stair or emergency egress schemes do), a fail-secure device is the wrong choice.
2) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Sargent 8374?
Yes, handing is required. The 8374 is ordered as either RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse). Exit devices mount on doors that swing out, so the handing is always a reverse hand. Stand outside the opening: if the door swings toward you and the hinges are on your right, it is RHR. Get this wrong and the device will not mount. If you want a device that can be flipped in the field, the Von Duprin 5575 narrow stile crossbar mortise device is field reversible.
3) What door widths does the Sargent 8374 cover?
Device lengths run 32, 36, 42 and 48 inches, so you can cover everything from a narrow single leaf to a wide 4 foot door. Size the rail to the door width, not the frame. One caution on options: the AL alarmed option requires a 36 inch minimum door width, so it is not available on the 32 inch device.
4) Can I get the Sargent 8374 on a fire rated opening?
Yes. The 8374 is ordered either Standard or Fire Rated, and the fire rated build comes less dogging. That is the rule on any fire door: the latch has to project and relatch on every cycle, so mechanical dogging is not permitted. If you need the push rail held down for daytime traffic, that opening has to be a non-rated one with the Standard version.
5) Is a cylinder included with the Sargent 8374?
No cylinder ships with the 8374 fail-secure electrified trim device. You order the mortise cylinder separately in the keyway and keying you are standardizing on, which is usually what a locksmith wants anyway so the opening can be keyed into the existing system. Budget for the cylinder and the appropriate cam when you write the order.
6) What is the closest narrow stile mortise exit device to the Sargent 8374 from another manufacturer?
The Sargent 8374 is a Grade 1 mortise exit device built for narrow stile doors. The two narrow stile mortise peers are the Adams Rite 8400 Series, a Grade 1 narrow stile mortise exit device for aluminum doors that is not fire rated, and the Von Duprin 5575-3ft, a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar mortise device in 3 ft that is field reversible, not fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The 8374 differs from both in that it is an electromechanical device with fail-secure electrified ET trim, ordered in 12V or 24V, and it is offered in a fire rated (less dogging) build as well as standard.
7) What lever trim options are there for the Sargent 8374, and can I order it without trim?
The 8374 takes Sargent ET trim in eight lever designs: A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W. You can also order the device with no trim at all if the outside is push/pull only or you are reusing existing trim. Pick the lever style that matches the other openings in the building so the fleet looks consistent.
8) Does the Sargent 8374 run on 12V or 24V?
Both are available, and voltage is a required choice at order time. Match it to the power supply feeding the opening before you order, because the device is built to the voltage you specify. Confirm the supply has enough current capacity for the device plus anything else on that circuit.
9) Is the Sargent 8374 heavy duty enough for a high traffic school or hospital entrance?
It is a Grade 1 commercial device, exceeding ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 cycle and strength testing, which is the top commercial tier and the right spec for a main entrance, corridor, or any opening seeing constant traffic. Construction is modular, so worn components can be serviced without replacing the whole device.
10) What is the difference between a mortise exit device like the Sargent 8374 and a rim device?
A mortise device like the 8374 puts the lock case inside a pocket machined into the door edge and latches into the frame jamb, which gives a cleaner look and puts the lock body out of harm's way. A rim device surface mounts and strikes a surface strike on the stop. Mortise takes more door prep, so it is the better pick on new aluminum doors already prepped for it or where you want the hardware to sit flush; rim is easier on a retrofit where the door has no mortise pocket.
11) What is a simpler exit only mortise device if I do not need lever trim at all?
The Sargent 8374 can be ordered without trim, but it remains an electrified device requiring 12V or 24V. For a purely mechanical exit only opening, the Falcon 25-M-EO is a Grade 1 exit only wide stile mortise device at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Detex 30 Series Advantex is a Grade 1 device only exit only wide stile unit, and the BEST Precision 2301 is an exit only mortise device with heavy wrought construction. All three are wide stile, so confirm the stile width before substituting.
12) What finishes does the Sargent 8374 come in for matching existing storefront hardware?
Twelve finishes: 03 bright brass, 04 satin brass, 09 bright bronze, 10 satin bronze, 10B dark oxidized satin bronze oil rubbed, 10BE, 10BL, 20D dark statuary bronze lacquered, 32 bright stainless, 32D satin stainless, plus BSP black suede powder coat and WSP white suede powder coat. For aluminum storefront, the dark bronze options and the black or white powder coats are the usual match to anodized frames; 32D satin stainless is the common institutional standard.
13) Is there a push pad alternative if I do not want a crossbar style mortise exit device?
The Von Duprin 5575-3ft is a narrow stile crossbar mortise device and the 8875-3FT is a wide stile crossbar unit. For a pad style on wide stile doors, the Von Duprin 9475/9575 Impact Series uses a recessed push pad and is Grade 1, and the 9875-3FT is a smooth case wide stile Grade 1 device; neither is fire rated. On a narrow stile aluminum opening the Sargent 8374 remains the narrow stile choice here.
