Sargent 8746E 10BE – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Sargent 8746 exit device have to be ordered handed?
Yes. The 8746 is a handed device, ordered either RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse). Stand outside the opening, on the pull side: if the hinges are on your right and the door swings toward you, it is right hand reverse. Get this wrong and the trim and latching will not line up, so confirm the swing before the order goes in.
2) What does storeroom function mean on the Sargent 8746, and who is it right for?
Storeroom on the 8746 means the outside lever is always locked and free-wheeling; you get in with a key through the trim, and the pushpad always gives free egress from inside. The lever never latches the door open, so it cannot be left unsecured by accident. That is why it lands on stock rooms, mechanical and electrical rooms, IT closets and back-of-house exterior doors. If you need staff to be able to unlock the outside lever for part of the day, storeroom is the wrong function.
3) Can I use the Sargent 8746 on a pair of doors without a mullion?
Yes. Being a surface vertical rod device, the 8746 latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into the frame jamb, so a pair of doors can be secured without a removable mullion. If you would rather latch into a mullion, you want a rim device instead, which the 8700 Series also covers.
4) Is the Sargent 8746 fire rated for a labeled opening?
Yes. The 8746 carries a 3-hour fire rating, so it can go on a labeled opening up to that rating. Note that fire rated exit devices are supplied without dogging, since a fire door must latch on every close.
5) What door widths does the Sargent 8746 cover, and which size do I order?
The 8746 comes in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch device lengths. Order the length that matches the door leaf width, not the frame opening. On a 36 inch leaf, the 36 inch device is the one you want. If you are also adding the AL alarmed option, note it requires a 36 inch minimum door width, so it is not available on a 32 inch leaf.
6) What trim do I need to order with the Sargent 8746 storeroom exit device?
Storeroom function needs outside trim to work as intended, and the 8746 takes Sargent ET trim in eight lever designs: A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W. Pick the lever that matches the rest of the building's hardware. You can also order the device with no trim at all if the opening is exit only or the trim is already on site.
7) The door has a narrow stile. What should I order instead of the Sargent 8746?
The 8746 is built as a wide stile device, so a narrow aluminum or glass-front stile calls for a different chassis. Narrow stile surface vertical rod options include the Von Duprin 3327A grooved case device for 36 inch doors and the Von Duprin 7527, both Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED4400 Grade 1 narrow stile device that accepts trim, the Falcon 19-V-EO and 24-V-EO Grade 1 narrow stile devices, the Adams Rite 8200 Series, and the TownSteel ED3727, which is Grade 1 narrow stile and wood door compatible.
8) Which surface vertical rod exit devices look like substitutes for the Sargent 8746 but will not work on a fire door?
Plenty of them, and it is the most common ordering mistake on this type. The Sargent 8746 carries a 3-hour fire rating. The Von Duprin 2227 wide stile device for 36 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 wide stile device, the Falcon 20 Series and 25 Series wide stile devices, the TownSteel ED8927, and the Adams Rite 8100 Series are all Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod devices but are listed as not fire rated. If the opening is in a fire-rated assembly, stay with the 8746 or a fire-rated peer such as the Adams Rite 3100 Series or the TownSteel EF9727.
9) What is the closest fire-rated wide stile surface vertical rod alternative to the Sargent 8746?
The Sargent 8746 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device with a 3-hour fire rating. Two fire-rated wide stile peers cover the same type of opening: the Adams Rite 3100 Series 30 inch device, which is Grade 1, fire rated, and prepped for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the TownSteel 9700 Series EF9727 for 36 by 84 inch openings, which is fire rated, ANSI Grade 1 certified, heavy duty, and compatible with wood doors. The TownSteel is the one to look at if the opening is a wood door.
10) Is the Sargent 8746 heavy enough for a school or hospital corridor door?
Yes. The 8746 is Grade 1 and the series exceeds ANSI/BHMA cycle and strength testing, which is the durability tier specified for high traffic institutional openings. Modular construction means the latch, rail and trim components are serviceable individually rather than replacing the whole device when one piece wears. If the traffic is lighter and budget is the driver, a Grade 2 device such as the TownSteel TS5100 is the lower tier, though it is not fire rated.
11) I need the same look but with the rods hidden inside the door. What should I use instead of the 8746?
Surface vertical rod means the rods run on the face of the door, which is simpler to install and service but visible. The Sargent 8700 Series also comes in concealed vertical rod, rim and mortise configurations, so if the rods need to be inside the door you order the concealed vertical rod version of the series instead. Concealed rod requires factory door prep, so it is a specification decision rather than a field retrofit.
12) I do not need keyed lever access on the outside, just egress. Is there a simpler device than the Sargent 8746?
Yes. The 8746 is a storeroom-function device with freewheeling ET lever trim, ordered with one of eight lever styles or as device only. If the opening needs no outside operation at all, exit-only surface vertical rod devices cover it: the Arrow 3700 Series wide stile pushpad bar, the Falcon 20 Series and 25 Series wide stile devices, and the Orca OED56 standard duty device, which ships less bottom rod and non-handed. For a fire-rated exit-only opening, the Arrow S1150 is fire rated and supplied less trim.
13) My opening is a 42 inch or 48 inch door. Which surface vertical rod devices cover that width?
The Sargent 8746 is built in 32, 36, 42, and 48 inch device lengths, so it covers the wider leaves directly. Most of the comparable devices are catalogued at a single narrower width: the Adams Rite 3100 and 8100 Series at 30 inches, the Arrow 3700 and S1150 at 30 inches, the Von Duprin 2227 and 7827 at 3 ft, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 at 36 inches, and the Design Hardware 1000V at 33 inches. For a 42 or 48 inch leaf the 8746 is the straightforward order.
14) The Sargent 8746 is going on a wood door. Which comparable devices are listed as wood door compatible?
Among the comparables, the TownSteel EF9727, ED8927, and ED3727 are all listed as wood door compatible; the EF9727 is the fire-rated, Grade 1 heavy-duty wide stile version of the three. The Von Duprin 7527 and 7827 narrow stile devices are listed as not wood door compatible, so neither is the substitute for a wood leaf.
15) I want to standardize a facility on one vertical rod exit device in a specific decorative finish. How does the Sargent 8746 compare on finish range?
The Sargent 8746 is built in twelve finishes, including 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, BSP black suede powder coat, and WSP white suede powder coat. Comparable vertical rod devices are catalogued on mechanical specs rather than a finish range, and the Orca OED56 is offered in an aluminum finish. If the standard calls for a bronze or powder coat match across a building, the 8746 finish range is where to specify it.
