Sargent 8713E 10BE – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does classroom function mean on the Sargent 8713 exit device?
Classroom function on the 8713 means the outside lever is locked or unlocked by key, and free egress is always available from the inside by pushing the pad. Staff can leave the outside trim unlocked during class changes and key it locked when the room is secured, without ever affecting the ability to get out. The device latches top and bottom through surface vertical rods, so locking the outside trim does not defeat egress.
2) Do I have to specify handing when ordering a Sargent 8713?
Yes, handing is required. The 8713 is ordered as either RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse). Stand outside the door on the side you pull from: if the hinges are on your right and the door swings away from you, it is right hand reverse. Get this wrong and the trim and latching will be on the wrong side of the opening. If you need a device you can flip on site instead, the BEST Precision 5201 is a reversible surface vertical rod and the Von Duprin 2227 is non-handed.
3) What size Sargent 8713 do I order for a 36 inch door?
Order the 36 inch device for a 36 inch door leaf. The 8713 comes in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch device lengths, sized to the door width rather than trimmed on site, so measure the actual leaf width, not the rough opening. For a pair, each leaf gets its own device sized to that leaf.
4) Can a surface vertical rod exit device secure a pair of doors without a mullion?
Yes, and that is the main reason to choose one. A surface vertical rod device like the Sargent 8713 latches into the head frame and the threshold rather than into the strike jamb, so a pair of doors can be secured with no center mullion and the full opening stays clear when both leaves are open. A rim device on the same pair would need a removable mullion to latch into, which someone has to pull and store every time you need the wide opening. The tradeoff is that the rods and top and bottom strikes are exposed on the door face and need periodic adjustment.
5) Does the Sargent 8713 come with a lever trim or do I order that separately?
Trim is a separate selection on the order. The 8713 takes Sargent ET trim in A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W lever designs, or you can order the device alone with no outside trim. Because it is classroom function, you want the ET lever trim: without outside trim the opening becomes exit only, with no way for staff to key in from the corridor. Pick the lever design to match the other openings in the building.
6) My door has a narrow aluminum stile - the Sargent 8713 is a wide stile device, so what fits instead?
The 8713 is a wide stile device, so on a narrow stile aluminum door look at a narrow stile surface vertical rod instead. The Von Duprin 3327A is a Grade 1 grooved case narrow stile surface vertical rod for 36 inch doors at 1-3/4 inch thickness. The Corbin Russwin ED4400 is a Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile surface vertical rod that accepts trim. The Adams Rite 8200 Series 30 inch is a Grade 1 narrow stile life safety surface vertical rod. Measure the stile face width before committing, since narrow stile chassis are dimensioned to fit where a wide stile case will not land.
7) The Sargent 8713 is not fire rated - what surface vertical rod device should I use on a fire rated opening instead?
Two in the same category carry a fire rating. The TownSteel 9700 Series EF9727 is a fire rated 36 by 84 inch ANSI Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile surface vertical rod device that is listed as wood door compatible. The Adams Rite 3100 Series 30 inch is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Arrow S1150 30 inch is also fire rated, for narrow or wide stile, 1-3/4 inch doors, supplied as device only less trim. A fire rated opening also means no mechanical dogging, so plan the trim and function accordingly.
8) What is the closest wide stile surface vertical rod exit device to the Sargent 8713 if I need a lever trim option?
The Corbin Russwin ED5400 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod exit device that accepts trim, and it is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors in a 36 inch size. The Sargent 8713 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device with classroom function, and it can be ordered with ET trim in A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W lever styles or as exit device only. Both are surface vertical rod, so the door prep concept is the same top and bottom latching; the difference to settle before you order is the lever family and the fact that the 8713 is handed RHR or LHR while the ED5400 is catalogued as exit only accepting trim.
9) What surface vertical rod exit device works on a wood door if I am cross shopping the Sargent 8713?
Three TownSteel devices state wood door compatibility: the EF9727, which is fire rated Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile; the ED8927, which is Grade 1 certified wide stile; and the ED3727, which is Grade 1 narrow stile. All three are listed at 36 by 84 inches. Note the opposite case as well, since the Von Duprin 7527 and 7827 are both stated as not wood door compatible, so neither is a drop in for a wood door opening.
10) The Sargent 8713 is handed - which surface vertical rod exit devices avoid a handing decision?
The 8713 must be ordered RHR or LHR, so the hand is locked in at purchase. If you are stocking a device for multiple openings or are unsure of the hand, the Von Duprin 2227 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod for 36 inch doors and is non-handed, the BEST Precision 5201 Series 36 inch surface vertical rod is reversible, and the Orca Hardware OED56 Series 36 inch device is non-handed. The Orca is also configured less bottom rod, which changes the floor strike condition, so confirm that against the opening.
11) I need electric latch retraction or a latchbolt monitor on a surface vertical rod device - does the Sargent 8713 cover that?
Yes. The Sargent 8713 offers electric options including 53 latchbolt monitor switch, 54 internal micro switch in ET control, 55 signal switch in rail, 56 remote dogging and latch retraction, 58 electric dogging, 59 Electroguard and AL alarmed with a 36 inch door width minimum. Among the alternatives, several are catalogued as exit only mechanical devices, such as the Falcon 19-V-EO, the Arrow 3700 Series pushpad, and the Orca OED56, so if the opening ties into an access control system the electrified option on the 8713 keeps the switch package on the device itself rather than adding a separate strike.
12) What electrical options can I add to a Sargent 8713 exit device?
Seven options are available on the 8713: AL alarmed, 53 latchbolt monitor switch, 54 internal micro switch in the ET control, 55 signal switch in the rail, 56 remote dogging and latch retraction, 58 electric dogging, and 59 Electroguard. If you are tying a classroom door into an access control system, 56 gives you remote latch retraction and 58 lets the door be electrically dogged during school hours and secured after. The AL alarmed option requires a 36 inch minimum door width, so it is not available on the 32 inch device.
13) Is the Sargent 8713 strong enough for a high traffic school corridor?
The 8713 is a Grade 1 commercial device, the top ANSI/BHMA durability tier, which is what a school corridor or gym exit needs. Grade 1 is the level specified for high abuse openings. If the opening is lower traffic and the spec allows it, a Grade 2 device like the TownSteel TS5100 is the lighter alternative, though on institutional work most specs call Grade 1 outright.
14) Can I standardize a whole school on the Sargent 8713?
That is what the 8700 Series is built for. One family covers rim, mortise, surface vertical rod and concealed vertical rod configurations, so the classroom pairs, the single corridor doors and the exterior openings can all carry the same push pad, the same ET lever design and the same finish while the latching type changes to suit each opening. Modular construction means the parts crossover between them, so your maintenance shop stocks one set of spares instead of four.
15) Do I need to prep the door for concealed rods to install a Sargent 8713?
No. The 8713 is a surface vertical rod device, so the rods and cases mount to the face of the door and no rod pockets are routed into the door edge. That makes it the practical choice for retrofitting an existing door that was never prepped for concealed rods, and for wood doors where routing a full height channel is not worth doing. The tradeoff versus a concealed rod device is appearance and exposure to abuse.
16) I only need free egress on a back of house door - is there a simpler alternative to the Sargent 8713?
Yes. The 8713 is a classroom function device that takes ET lever trim for controlled outside access. If nobody needs to come back in through that door, an exit only device removes the trim entirely. The Falcon 25-V-EO is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod exit only device for 1-3/4 inch doors in a 3 foot size, and the Falcon 20 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod exit only device at 36 inches. The Von Duprin 2227 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod at 36 inches and is non-handed, which removes the handing decision from the order.
17) Is a Grade 2 surface vertical rod device an acceptable substitute for the Sargent 8713 in a school?
It is a different certification level, so check what the specification calls for. The Sargent 8713 is Grade 1. The TownSteel TS5100 is a Grade 2 heavy duty wide stile surface vertical rod for 36 by 84 inch doors, and the Dexter ED2000 Series is a Grade 2 surface vertical rod panic device. If the drawing or the district standard states ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, stay with a Grade 1 device such as the TownSteel ED8927, which is Grade 1 certified wide stile and wood door compatible, or the Dexter ED1500 Series, which is Grade 1.
18) Does the Sargent 8713 come in a 32 inch size, and what are the options if my door is smaller than 36 inches?
The Sargent 8713 is offered in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch sizes, so a door narrower than 36 inches is covered by the 32 inch device. Among the alternatives, the Adams Rite 3100 and 8100 Series and the Arrow S1150 are 30 inch devices, and the Design Hardware 1000V and 2000V are 33 inch devices. One caution on the 8713: the AL alarmed electric option carries a 36 inch minimum door width, so an alarmed device rules out the narrow opening.
19) Is a crossbar exit device the same thing as the Sargent 8713 pushpad device?
No, the actuator style is different even though both are surface vertical rod. The Sargent 8713 is a wide stile surface vertical rod device, and the Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar surface vertical rod device at 36 inches, for 1-3/4 inch doors, that accepts operator trim. A crossbar spans the door face and is pulled or pushed at any point along its length, while a pushpad device presents a flush touchpad. If a facility is standardizing on one look across a corridor, the two do not visually match, so pick the actuator style before the finish.
20) Which alternatives to the Sargent 8713 are wide stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod devices for standardizing a facility?
For a wide stile Grade 1 standard, the candidates are the Corbin Russwin ED5400 at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Von Duprin 2227 at 36 inches non-handed for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon 20 Series and Falcon 25-V-EO both at 36 inches exit only for 1-3/4 inch doors, the TownSteel ED8927 at 36 by 84 inches, and the Adams Rite 8100 Series at 30 inches. The Sargent 8713 itself is Grade 1 wide stile in classroom function. If the standard needs an operable lever from the outside, narrow that list to the ones that accept trim, since several are exit only.
21) What finishes does the Sargent 8713 exit device come in?
Twelve finishes, so it can be matched to existing hardware rather than standing out on the wall: 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, 32 bright stainless, 32D satin stainless, plus BSP black and WSP white suede powder coat. On institutional work 32D satin stainless is the usual choice for corridor doors, and the BSP and WSP powder coats are what to specify when the device has to disappear into a painted door.
22) What is the difference between a heavy duty and a standard duty surface vertical rod exit device when replacing a Sargent 8713?
Duty level is stated separately from grade, and the alternatives split on it. The Design Hardware 1000V 33 inch is heavy duty and the Design Hardware 2000V 33 inch is standard duty, both surface vertical rod. The TownSteel EF9727 is heavy duty and Grade 1 certified, and the TownSteel TS5100 is heavy duty at Grade 2. The Sargent 8713 is a Grade 1 device in the 8700 Series. On a high cycle corridor or a classroom wing that sees constant traffic, match the duty level as well as the grade, since two devices can share Grade 1 and differ in stated duty.
