    Sargent 8546E 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

    1) What does storeroom function mean on the Sargent 8546 exit device, and who is it right for?
    Storeroom function means the outside lever is always locked and the key retracts the latch for entry only; the lever never unlocks the door permanently. Free egress from the inside is always available through the pushpad. That is the right choice for stock rooms, mechanical spaces, IT closets, and any door that must stay secure from outside at all times. If you need the outside lever to stay unlocked during business hours, storeroom is the wrong function.
    2) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Sargent 8546 with lever trim?
    Yes, when lever trim is on the order. Handing is called out as RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse), which is how exit device openings are handed since they always swing out. Device only, with no ET trim, does not need a hand.
    3) What is a good narrow stile rim exit device alternative to the Sargent 8546 from another brand?
    Several narrow stile rim devices sit in the same slot. The Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim, which is the closest functional equivalent when you need key entry. The TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 are Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim devices at 36 inches. Falcon 1590EO and 19-R are Grade 1 narrow stile options but exit only, so they do not take outside key trim. Adams Rite 8800 covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, which is useful on thicker storefront stiles.
    4) Can I put the Sargent 8546 on a wood door?
    No. The 8546 is not rated for wood door use. On a hollow metal or aluminum door it is fine, but for a wood door look at a device the maker lists as wood door compatible, such as the Adams Rite 8700 Series or the fire rated Adams Rite 3700 Series, both narrow stile.
    5) I need a narrow stile rim exit device on a fire rated opening - can I use the Sargent 8546?
    The Sargent 8546 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device for commercial openings, but if the opening requires a labeled fire exit device, the Adams Rite 3700 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device carrying a fire rating and is also wood door compatible. Among fire rated rim devices, the Arrow FS1250 in 32 inch and the Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO Grade 1 are also fire rated, though not listed as narrow stile.
    6) Is the Sargent 8546 heavy duty enough for a high traffic entrance, or should I step up?
    The Sargent 8546 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device rated for light duty, low traffic service. For a heavily used narrow stile entrance, the Detex 40 Advantex is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device rated extra heavy duty, and the TownSteel ED8900 at 36 inch is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device. The Stanley QED211 is also a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex key dogging.
    7) What looks like a substitute for the Sargent 8546 but is not a rim latch device?
    The Sargent 8546 is a single point rim latching device. Several items sit near it but latch differently or not at all. The Hager 4601 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile device, but it is a concealed vertical rod device requiring top and bottom rod prep, not a rim strike. The SDC MSB550 and SDC SureExit PSB560 are 36 inch switch and pressure sense bars for narrow or wide stile that release an electromagnetic lock rather than throw a latch, and the Detex Advantex 00 Series is a dummy exit device with no latching at all.
    8) What size does the Sargent 8546 come in for a 36 inch door?
    The 8546 is offered in 32, 36, 42, and 48 inch device lengths. Pick the length by door width, not by the opening rough width, and remember the alarmed AL electric option requires a 36 inch minimum door width, so a 32 inch device paired with AL is not a valid build.
    9) What lever trim options are available on the Sargent 8546, and can I order it without trim?
    Eight ET lever designs are offered: A, B, E, F, J, L, P, and W. You can also order the 8546 as device only with no trim, which is the way to go if you are reusing existing pull hardware or the opening does not need key entry. Note that with no trim there is no outside key access, so the storeroom function only matters when an ET trim is included.
    10) I need the door to unlock on a card reader. Does the Sargent 8546 do that, or do I need a different device?
    The 8546 can be built for it. Order the 56 remote dogging / latch retraction option and the latch retracts on a signal from the access control system, leaving the door push-pull until it is relocked. Option 58 electric dogging is the simpler version if you only need to free the pushpad on a schedule. If instead you want a pressure sense bar that releases an electromagnetic lock rather than a mechanical latch, the SDC SureExit PSB560 or the SDC MSB550 mechanical switch bar are a different approach and both suit narrow or wide stile doors.
    11) The door only needs exit, no outside trim - is there a simpler option than the Sargent 8546?
    The Sargent 8546 is configured with ET lever trim in storeroom function for controlled outside access, and its trim options run from ETA through ETW lever styles. If no outside trim is needed, exit only narrow stile rim devices include the Falcon 19-R for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon 1590EO in 42 inch, the BEST 2401, which is non-handed, and the Marks USA M8800 at 36 inch.
    12) I need a 48 inch rim exit device - does the Sargent 8546 cover that width and what else does?
    The Sargent 8546 is offered in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch device sizes, so it covers a 48 inch leaf in narrow stile. If the opening is wide stile instead, 48 inch options include the Corbin Russwin ED3200, a Grade 1 crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the DORMA 9300 Series Grade 1 heavy duty exit only for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series crossbar rim panic device.
    13) What are the electrified alternatives to a Sargent 8546 with an electric option?
    The Sargent 8546 can be ordered with electric options including latchbolt monitor switch, signal switch in rail, remote dogging and latch retraction, electric dogging, and Electroguard. Fully electrified devices from other makers include the Dormakaba E2103 with 4908A trim, a 36 inch electrified rim device in classroom function, the SDC Spectra S6136, a 36 inch electrified architectural rim device for 4 inch wide stile and 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, and the Securitron EMB electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors.
    14) Can I get the Sargent 8546 exit device to match dark bronze or black hardware already in the building?
    Twelve finishes are offered, so matching an existing fleet is usually possible: 03 bright brass, 04 satin brass, 09 bright bronze, 10 satin bronze, 10B oil rubbed dark oxidized satin bronze, 10BE and 10BL dark oxidized satin bronze variants, 20D dark statuary bronze lacquered, 32 bright stainless, 32D satin stainless, plus BSP black suede powder coat and WSP white suede powder coat. For dark storefronts, 10B or BSP are the usual picks; 32D satin stainless is the standard commercial default.
    15) Are there Grade 2 rim exit devices instead of the Grade 1 Sargent 8546?
    The Sargent 8546 is a Grade 1 device. If the spec allows a lighter grade, the Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch rim exit device with a touch bar and a Grade 2 chassis, and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch push bar rim device also Grade 2. Both are rated heavy duty and neither is wood door compatible, and neither is described as narrow stile the way the 8546 is.
