    Sargent 8573E 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

    1) What does fail-safe mean on the Sargent 8573 exit device, and what happens when power drops?
    Fail-safe on the 8573 means the outside trim unlocks when power is removed. Cut the power, whether that is a fire alarm relay, an access control release, or a plain outage, and the lever outside will retract the latch and allow entry. Free egress from the inside is always available by pushing the rail, since that function is mechanical and not tied to the electronics. If your application needs the opposite behavior, where the outside stays locked when power is lost, a fail-safe device is the wrong choice and you want a fail-secure electromechanical device instead.
    2) What device length do I order for the Sargent 8573 on a 36 inch door?
    The 8573 comes in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch rail lengths. Order the length that matches your door width, so a 36 inch leaf takes the 36 inch device. One caution on options: the AL alarmed option requires a 36 inch minimum door width, so it cannot be combined with the 32 inch device on a narrower leaf.
    3) Does the Sargent 8573 need 12V or 24V, and which should I specify?
    Voltage is a required selection on the 8573, either 12V or 24V. Match it to the power supply feeding the opening. Access control panels and door power supplies commonly run 24VDC, but if your existing supply is 12V, order the 12V device rather than trying to convert at the door. Confirm the supply current capacity covers the device plus any electric option you add.
    4) Can I use the Sargent 8573 on a fire rated opening?
    Yes, the 8573 is offered in a fire rated configuration. Fire rated is ordered less dogging, which is the rule on any fire exit device: the latch has to stay projected at all times so the door positively latches in a fire. If you need to hold the latch retracted during business hours on a fire rated leaf, you cannot use mechanical dogging. Use the 56 remote latch retraction or 58 electric dogging option, controlled so it drops on alarm.
    5) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Sargent 8573?
    Handing only comes into play if you add lever trim. With an ET lever trim selected, specify RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse). Exit devices swing out, so the handing on the opening will always be a reverse hand. If you order the device with no trim, exit only, handing is not required.
    6) What are the fire rated alternatives to the Sargent 8573 for a narrow stile opening?
    The Sargent 8573 is ordered with a Fire Rated (Less Dogging) rating option alongside the standard build, so the fire rated opening can be covered within the same model. If a mechanical device is preferred on a fire rated narrow stile door, the Adams Rite 3700 Series is a fire rated Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device. For fire rated rim openings that are not narrow stile, the Dexter ED1000 fire rated rim device and the Orca OED85 36 inch fire rated rim device are exit only options.
    7) What is a comparable narrow stile rim exit device if an electrified fail-safe device is not required?
    The Sargent 8573 is an electro-mechanical fail-safe narrow stile rim exit device, so it is built for openings tied into access control. For a purely mechanical narrow stile rim opening, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device rated for 1-3/4 inch doors that is exit only and accepts trim, and the Falcon 19-R is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device, exit only, for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both leave out the wiring, power supply, and fail-safe control the 8573 depends on.
    8) What outside trim options are available with the Sargent 8573?
    The 8573 takes Sargent ET trim in eight lever designs: A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W levers. You can also order the device by itself with no trim for exit only openings. Since the device is fail-safe, the ET lever is what unlocks on power loss, so on any opening where people need to get back in during an outage you want the trim, not the exit only version.
    9) I need to lock a storefront door with an access control reader but keep code-compliant egress. Is the Sargent 8573 the right approach?
    It fits that job well. The 8573 gives you single point rim latching with a fail-safe electrified ET lever outside, so the reader controls entry while the pushpad always allows free egress mechanically. Add option 55, a signal switch in the rail, if your panel needs a request-to-exit signal, or 53 if it needs latchbolt status. The alternative approach, an electromagnetic lock with a separate exit bar (the SDC MSB550 mechanical switch bar or the PSB560 pressure sense bar are examples), keeps no mechanical latch in the door at all and relies entirely on the mag and its release devices.
    10) My door has a wide stile - is the Sargent 8573 still the right device?
    No. The Sargent 8573 is a narrow stile device. For a wide stile aluminum or hollow metal door, the Von Duprin 22 Series is a Grade 1 non-handed wide stile pushpad rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device that accepts trim, and the TownSteel ED9700 is a Grade 1 heavy duty 36 inch rim device. Those are mechanical, not electrified.
    11) Is an SDC pressure sense bar or switch bar a substitute for the Sargent 8573?
    They solve a different problem. The SDC PSB560 SureExit is a 36 inch pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology and the SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock; both are listed for narrow or wide stile and signal a separate locking device. The Sargent 8573 is a rim exit device that does its own single point rim latching, with the fail-safe control built into the device.
    12) I need lever trim on the outside - which comparable devices accept trim like the Sargent 8573 does?
    The Sargent 8573 is ordered with ET trim in A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W lever styles, or as device only. Among mechanical peers, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 narrow stile and ED5200 wide stile devices are listed as exit only or accepting trim. Many of the other rim devices, including the Marks USA M9900, the Orca OED55 and the Imperial ED-501, are exit only.
    13) What if the opening needs a concealed vertical rod instead of a rim device?
    The Sargent 8573 is a rim device with single point rim latching against a strike on the frame. If the drawing calls for concealed vertical rod, the Hager 4601 is a Grade 1 36 inch concealed vertical rod narrow stile exit device, and the Hager 4501 is the Grade 1 36 inch concealed vertical rod version with a wide stile pushpad. Those latch top and bottom rather than at the rim.
    14) What finishes does the Sargent 8573 come in for matching existing storefront hardware?
    Twelve finishes are offered on the 8573: 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 suede powder coat and WSP white suede powder coat. For a building standardizing on aluminum storefront, 32D satin stainless is the usual match to dark or clear anodized entrances, and the BSP and WSP powder coats exist for black and white painted storefront systems.
    15) Is a Grade 2 rim device a workable stand-in for the Sargent 8573?
    They are not equivalent. The Sargent 8573 is a Grade 1 commercial device. The Cal-Royal 5000 36 inch and 5500 48 inch rim devices are heavy duty but Grade 2, and neither is electrified or narrow stile. On an opening specified Grade 1 narrow stile with access control, those will not meet the spec.
