    Sargent 8504E 10BE – Frequently Asked Questions

    1) What does nightlatch function mean on a Sargent 8504, and is it the right function for my door?
    Nightlatch means free egress from the inside at all times, with the outside trim always locked except by key. Turn the key and you retract the latch to get in; let go and the door secures again. There's no unlocked outside lever state. That suits a back-of-house, service, or after-hours entrance where staff need key-only entry and the public shouldn't get in at all. If you need the outside lever to stay unlocked during business hours, nightlatch is the wrong function and you want a different function in the 8500 family.
    2) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Sargent 8504?
    Only if you're taking lever trim. The device itself doesn't require a hand, but when an ET lever trim is selected you must call out RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse). Exit devices are always reverse bevel, so the hand is called from the outside of the door with the hinges on your right for RHR. Order the 8504 with the trim option set to None and there's no handing to specify.
    3) What is the closest narrow stile rim exit device to the Sargent 8504 from another manufacturer?
    For a narrow stile aluminum or hollow metal opening, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is the nearest match to the Sargent 8504. Both are Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit devices, and the ED4200 is built to accept trim rather than being exit only, which matters because the 8504 is a nightlatch that works with ET lever trim on the outside. The ED4200 is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. Also close is the Falcon 1590EO narrow stile rim device, Grade 1 on 1-3/4 inch doors, but it is exit only, so it covers the opening where no outside trim is needed.
    4) Can I put the Sargent 8504 on a wood door, and what is the alternative if not?
    The Sargent 8504 is not carried as wood door compatible. For a wood leaf, the Adams Rite 8700 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device with starwheel interlocking that is listed wood door compatible, and the fire rated Adams Rite 3700 is wood door compatible as well. Note the Adams Rite 8800, though also Grade 1 narrow stile, is not wood door compatible - the series numbers look adjacent but only two of the three cover a wood door.
    5) I need a nightlatch rim device but the door is wide stile - what should I use instead of the Sargent 8504?
    The Sargent 8504 is a narrow stile device, so on a wide stile door the Detex V4003A/03AN is the direct answer: it is a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device supplied with night latch trim. If the opening needs a wide stile Grade 1 rim device without the nightlatch trim, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a wide stile Grade 1 rim device that accepts trim on 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Von Duprin 22 is a wide stile Grade 1 pushpad rim device, non-handed, for 1-3/4 inch doors.
    6) The opening is a fire rated door - can I use the Sargent 8504 or do I need something else?
    The 8504 is a nightlatch rim device with a latchbolt, and dogging is not part of a fire rated assembly, so for a labeled opening specify a device carried as fire rated. In narrow stile, the Adams Rite 3700 is a fire rated Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device with starwheel interlocking, and it is also listed as wood door compatible, which the 8504 is not. Other fire rated rim options are the Dexter ED1000-R-F Grade 1 and the Arrow FS1250 at 32 inches, both non-wood-door. Confirm the label on the door leaf and the frame match the device listing before ordering.
    7) Which devices look like a substitute for the Sargent 8504 but are not?
    Three catch people out. The Hager 4601 is a Grade 1 narrow stile device but it is a concealed vertical rod device, not rim - it latches top and bottom and needs a prepped door, where the 8504 is a single point rim latch. The SDC MSB550 and SDC SureExit PSB560 mount on narrow or wide stile doors but they are switch bars, a mechanical switch bar and a pressure sense bar respectively, that release an electromagnetic lock rather than throwing a latchbolt into a strike. And the Detex Advantex 00 is a dummy exit device - it looks the part and does not latch at all.
    8) I need electrified latch retraction on a narrow stile door - how does the Sargent 8504 compare to other electrified options?
    The 8504 handles this within its own order: remote dogging and latch retraction, electric dogging, latchbolt monitor switch, signal switch in rail and Electroguard are all specified as electric options on the device itself, alongside the ET lever trim. If the design calls for a factory electrified device from another line, the Dormakaba electrified rim 36 inch device with 4908A trim is carried in an 08 classroom function, and the SDC S6136 Spectra is an electrified architectural rim device - though the S6136 is a 4 inch wide stile device for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, so it will not fit the narrow stile the 8504 was picked for.
    9) What outside trim can I get with a Sargent 8504 nightlatch?
    Eight ET lever designs are available: A, B, E, F, J, L, P, and W levers. You can also order the device with no trim at all if the opening is exit only or you're supplying a pull with a cylinder separately. On a nightlatch, whichever lever you pick stays rigid from outside and the key does the work, so the lever design here is an aesthetic and grip choice rather than a functional one. Match the lever design across the building if you're standardizing openings.
    10) Is the Sargent 8504 a Grade 1 exit device?
    Yes, the 8504 is Grade 1 and specified as commercial hardware, which is the level most institutional and government specs call for on an egress opening. Among narrow stile rim devices, that puts it alongside the Corbin Russwin ED4200, the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900, the Falcon 19-R and 1590EO, and the Detex 40 Advantex, all of which are also Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices.
    11) I have wide stile hollow metal doors, not storefront. Is the Sargent 8504 still the right device?
    It'll work, but you're giving up pushpad width for no reason. Narrow stile devices are cut down to clear the glass line on aluminum entrances; on a wide stile hollow metal door you can run a full width device. Wide stile Grade 1 rim options include the Corbin Russwin ED5200 and ED2200, the Von Duprin 22, the Dormakaba 8300, and the TownSteel ED1100 and ED9700. All are listed for metal doors rather than wood.
    12) Does a Sargent 8504 nightlatch need a mortise cylinder, and is it included?
    A cylinder is a separate order. The 8504's nightlatch function is key operated from outside, so you'll need a cylinder to suit whatever ET trim or exit-only night latch pull you're using, keyed into your building's system. Locksmiths standardizing a property should order the cylinder to the existing keyway and keying rather than assume the device arrives keyed.
    13) Can I dog down a Sargent 8504 so the door stays open during business hours?
    Electrically, yes. Option 58 gives you electric dogging and option 56 gives remote dogging with latch retraction, either of which lets you hold the latch retracted on a schedule or from a control panel so the door pushes free. If you'd rather do it manually with a hex key and no wiring, that's a different device: the Design Hardware 1000R and 2000R and the Stanley QED211 are all listed with hex key dogging.
    14) Is there a lighter duty narrow stile rim exit device than the Sargent 8504?
    The Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 commercial device. If the traffic on the opening does not call for Grade 1, the Cal-Royal 5000 is a heavy duty rim exit device with a touch bar carried at Grade 2 in a 36 inch width, and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a Grade 2 push bar rim device in 48 inch. Both are wide stile style devices and are not wood door compatible, so verify the stile width on an aluminum storefront leaf before substituting - a Grade 2 wide stile chassis will not fit a stile that required the narrow 8504.
    15) What narrow stile rim devices compare to the Sargent 8504 if I want a non-handed device?
    The 8504 takes a handing call when ET lever trim is specified, right hand reverse or left hand reverse. If you want to avoid handing on the order, the BEST 2401 is a narrow stile rim exit device described as exit only and non-handed, and the BEST Precision 5101 is a non-handed universal design rim device. Both trade off the outside lever function - the 8504's nightlatch trim is what makes handing relevant in the first place.
    16) What are the other Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit devices if I am standardizing a facility on one line?
    Besides the Sargent 8504, the Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices to weigh are the Corbin Russwin ED4200, which accepts trim on 1-3/4 inch doors; the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900, both 36 inch heavy duty Grade 1 narrow stile; the Detex 40 Advantex, Grade 1 narrow stile rated extra heavy duty; and the Falcon 19-R, Grade 1 narrow stile exit only on 1-3/4 inch doors. The 8504 is the one of the group offered in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch widths with nightlatch function, which matters if you are matching one device across openings of different widths.
    17) If I only need exit from the inside and no outside trim, is there a simpler device than the Sargent 8504?
    Yes. The 8504's nightlatch function exists to give key or lever access from the outside, so if the door only needs to push open from the inside, an exit only device is the simpler order. In narrow stile, the Falcon 1790EO and Falcon 1590EO are Grade 1 narrow stile exit only devices on 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Marks USA M8800 is a 36 inch narrow stile exit only device with panic protector end caps. The Arrow 4800 is also narrow stile exit only at 36 inches on 1-3/4 inch doors.
    18) How does the Sargent 8504 differ from the Adams Rite narrow stile rim devices on an aluminum storefront?
    Both suit narrow stile aluminum openings at Grade 1, but they latch differently. The Adams Rite 8700, 8800 and EX88 are interlocking rim devices using starwheel interlocking, where the Sargent 8504 uses a single point rim bolt against a surface strike. The Adams Rite 8800 is listed for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch and is not wood door compatible, while the 8700 is wood door compatible. Choose on what the existing frame and strike condition will accept without re-prepping.
    19) What finishes does the Sargent 8504 come in for matching the rest of my entrances?
    Twelve finishes are offered on the 8504: bright brass (03), satin brass (04), bright bronze (09), satin bronze (10), three dark oxidized satin bronze variants (10B oil rubbed, 10BE, 10BL clear coated), dark statuary bronze lacquered (20D), bright stainless (32), satin stainless (32D), plus black suede powder coat (BSP) and white suede powder coat (WSP). For storefront work, 32D satin stainless and the two powder coats are the usual picks to blend with anodized aluminum framing, and the powder coats are the ones to reach for when you need to match a painted black or white entrance system.
