    Sargent 8515E 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

    1) Will the Sargent 8515 fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
    Yes, that's what the 8515 is built for. It's a narrow stile rim device in Sargent's 8500 Series, so it mounts on the slim stiles typical of aluminum entrances where a wide stile pushpad device won't fit. It is not rated for wood doors, so keep it on aluminum or hollow metal openings.
    2) What does passage function mean on the Sargent 8515 exit device?
    Passage means the outside trim is always unlocked. Push the bar from the inside to get out, and pull the lever from the outside any time without a key. There's no locking cylinder function in the 8515 itself, so if you need the outside side secured, you want a keyed function from the 8500 Series instead, not this one.
    3) What size Sargent 8515 do I order for a 36 inch door?
    The 8515 comes in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch device lengths. Match the device to the door width, so a 36 inch leaf takes the 36 inch device. Note that if you add the AL alarmed electric option, the door has to be at least 36 inches wide.
    4) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Sargent 8515?
    Only if you're adding lever trim. The device itself doesn't require handing, but when an ET lever trim is selected you specify RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse). Stand outside the opening: if the door pulls toward you and the hinges are on the right, that's RHR.
    5) What is the closest Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device to the Sargent 8515 from another manufacturer?
    The Sargent 8515 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device. Close cross-brand equivalents include the Corbin Russwin ED4200, a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device in 36 inch that accepts trim and fits 1-3/4 inch doors; the TownSteel ED8900 and ED3700, both Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim devices in 36 inch; and the Detex 40 Advantex, a Grade 1 extra heavy duty narrow stile rim device. All are narrow stile rim latching devices for non-wood doors, matching the 8515's narrow stile and hollow metal or aluminum door orientation.
    6) The opening needs a fire rated narrow stile rim device - what should I use instead of the Sargent 8515?
    The Sargent 8515 is a passage function device, which provides free egress without latching restriction, and fire rated openings require a device that latches and cannot be dogged. For a fire rated narrow stile rim application, the Adams Rite 3700 Series is a Grade 1 fire rated narrow stile rim exit device with starwheel interlocking, and it is also listed as wood door compatible. Other fire rated rim options include the Arrow FS1250 in 32 inch, the Dexter ED1000-R-F Grade 1 fire rated rim device, the Marks USA M9900F in 36 and 48 inch, and the Orca OED85 in 36 inch.
    7) What trim options are available with the Sargent 8515?
    Eight ET lever styles (A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W), or you can order the device on its own with no trim for exit-only openings. Because the 8515 is passage function, the lever operates freely from the outside at all times.
    8) Is the Sargent 8515 ADA compliant for a public building entrance?
    Yes, the 8515 is built to meet ADA accessibility requirements for barrier free operation, which is what code calls for on egress doors in public commercial facilities. The touchpad releases with a push anywhere along the bar, no grasping or twisting.
    9) Is there a simpler narrow stile rim device than the Sargent 8515 if I do not need lever trim?
    Yes. The Sargent 8515 can be ordered with ET trim in A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W lever styles or as exit device only. If the opening never needs outside entry, exit only narrow stile rim devices include the Falcon 19-R Grade 1 in 36 inch for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon 1590EO and 1790EO Grade 1 in 42 inch, the BEST Precision 2401 non-handed exit only, and the Marks USA M8800 in 36 inch with panic protector end caps.
    10) How does the Sargent 8515 compare with the Stanley QED211 and Dormakaba QED200 narrow stile devices?
    All three are Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim exit devices. The Stanley QED211 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex-key dogging in the QED200 Series, and the Dormakaba QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow exit device supplied as a 36 inch device with a 7 ft rod; neither is wood door compatible. The Sargent 8515 is offered in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch sizes and in passage function, with electric options including 58 electric dogging and 56 remote dogging and latch retraction.
    11) Are the Adams Rite EX88 and 8800 interlocking rim devices direct substitutes for the Sargent 8515?
    They serve the same narrow stile rim role but latch differently. The Adams Rite EX88 and 8800 Series are Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices using starwheel interlocking, which engages a mating strike on the adjacent leaf or frame rather than a conventional rim strike, and the 8800 is dimensioned for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Sargent 8515 is a single point rim latching device with a rim bolt, so the strike prep and any mullion arrangement differ between the two approaches.
    12) I need an electrified exit bar for access control - is the Sargent 8515 the right choice or should I look at something else?
    The Sargent 8515 can be ordered with electric options including 53 latchbolt monitor switch, 55 signal switch in rail, 58 electric dogging and 59 Electroguard, so it covers most access control tie-ins on a narrow stile door. If the opening instead uses an electromagnetic lock, the SDC MSB550 mechanical switch bar in 36 inch releases a maglock and fits narrow or wide stile, and the SDC SureExit PSB560 pressure sense bar in 36 inch does the same with tri-failsafe technology. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors. Those switch bars are not rim latching devices, so they do not replace the 8515's rim bolt.
    13) If my door needs top and bottom latching rather than a rim strike, what replaces the Sargent 8515?
    The Sargent 8515 is a single point rim latching device that engages a strike at the rim, which suits a single door or a pair with a mullion. For two point top and bottom latching on a narrow stile door, the Hager 4601 Series is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod narrow stile exit device in 36 inch; the Hager 4501 in 36 inch is the Grade 1 concealed vertical rod version with a wide stile pushpad.
    14) What finishes does the Sargent 8515 come in to match the rest of my building?
    Twelve finishes: 03 bright brass, 04 satin brass, 09 bright bronze, 10 satin bronze, 10B oil rubbed dark oxidized satin bronze, 10BE, 10BL, 20D dark statuary bronze, 32 bright stainless, 32D satin stainless, plus BSP black and WSP white suede powder coat. 32D and the powder coats are the common picks on aluminum storefront.
    15) What is a Grade 2 alternative to the Sargent 8515 rim exit device?
    The Sargent 8515 is Grade 1. Cal-Royal offers Grade 2 rim exit devices in heavy duty construction: the 5000 in 36 inch with a touch bar, the 5500 in 48 inch with a push bar, the A9800 in 36 inch exit only, and the A9820 in 48 inch. None are wood door compatible, and none are fire rated.
    16) Which crossbar rim devices are alternatives to the Sargent 8515 touchbar style?
    If the specification calls for a crossbar rather than a narrow push rail, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim exit device for 1-3/4 inch wide stile doors, and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device for wide stile. Both are wide stile devices, so they will not fit the narrow stile openings the Sargent 8515 is engineered for.
