Sargent 1256-8804E 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Sargent 8804 electric latch retraction exit device be used on a wood fire door?
No. The Sargent 1256-8804E is a metal door device only, so a wood fire door needs a different rim device. Fire rated wood door openings are where the Adams Rite 3700 Series narrow stile rim device fits, since it is rated for wood doors and carries a fire rating. Check the stile width on the wood door before you pick, because the 3700 is a narrow stile device and the 8804E is wide stile.
2) What does the night latch function mean on the Sargent 8804E, and what happens when power drops?
Night latch means the outside trim is a key-retracting latch: the key pulls the latch back for entry, and there is no lever or thumbpiece holding it unlocked. The push bar always gives free egress from the inside, which is what makes it code-compliant panic hardware. The electric latch retraction on the 1256-8804E is the access control layer on top of that, holding the latch back on command from the card reader or remote release. Lose power and the device reverts to its mechanical night latch behavior, key in from outside, push to get out.
3) Can I use the Sargent 8804E on a pair of fire rated doors?
Yes, but only with a mullion. It is a single point rim latch, so it throws into a strike at the jamb, not at the head and sill. On a pair you need a fire rated removable mullion to give the inactive side something to latch into. If you want a pair with a clear opening and no mullion, you are looking at a vertical rod device instead, such as the Hager 4501 Series concealed vertical rod with a wide stile pushpad.
4) Is the Sargent 8804 fire rated and panic listed for a stairwell or exit corridor?
It is UL10C fire rated and UL305 panic listed, and certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1. That combination is what a fire rated stair or corridor door needs: the panic listing covers the egress requirement and the UL10C covers the door assembly rating. Note that fire rated devices have no dogging, the latch must stay live at all times.
5) Does the Sargent 8804E come with outside trim, or do I order that separately?
As configured, the trim option is None, device only. The night latch function is delivered through a key cylinder trim on the outside, so you specify that trim and cylinder separately along with the keyway to match the rest of the building. You also need the power supply and wiring for the latch retraction; that is not part of the device carton.
6) Is this an aluminum storefront device?
No, and this catches people out. The Sargent 8804E is a wide stile device, which needs a broad flat mounting area on the door face. Narrow aluminum storefront stiles will not take it. For storefront, go to a narrow stile rim device such as the Adams Rite 8800 Series, rated for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, or the Corbin Russwin ED4200 narrow stile at 1-3/4 inch. Neither of those two is fire rated, so if the storefront opening is a rated assembly, the fire rated narrow stile option is the Adams Rite 3700 Series.
7) What fire rated rim exit device can I use instead of the Sargent 1256-8804E on a labeled opening?
For a fire rated rim device, the Marks USA M9900F is available in 36 inch and 48 inch fire rated versions, the Arrow FS1250 is a fire rated 32 inch rim device, the Orca Hardware OED85 is a fire rated 36 inch rim device, and the Dexter ED1000-R-F is a Grade 1 fire rated rim device. All four are exit only or device only, so if you need the electric latch retraction that the 1256-8804E carries, none of them replaces that function directly - they cover the fire rating and the egress, not the access control tie-in.
8) My opening is a narrow stile aluminum door - what should I use instead of the Sargent 1256-8804E?
The 1256-8804E is a wide stile device, so on a narrow stile aluminum door look at a narrow stile rim device instead. Fire rated narrow stile: the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch with starwheel interlocking is Grade 1 and fire rated. Non fire rated narrow stile options include the Corbin Russwin ED4200 Grade 1 36 inch, the Falcon 19-R 36 inch exit only, the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 36 inch Grade 1 devices, and the Detex 40 Advantex extra heavy duty narrow stile device.
9) For a coastal building, is there a hurricane rated version of the Sargent 8800 rim device?
Yes. Sargent offers the 8800 platform in HC8800 and WS8800 variants for hurricane resistant openings, which have to be called out at order time. The standard 8804E does not carry that designation.
10) Is a Cal-Royal 5000 or 5500 an equivalent to the Sargent 1256-8804E?
No. The Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch wide rim device with a touch bar on a Grade 2 chassis and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch push bar device, also Grade 2, and neither is listed as fire rated. The Sargent 1256-8804E is Grade 1 and fire rated with electric latch retraction, so on a labeled opening or a Grade 1 spec the Cal-Royal units are not a substitution.
11) I need a longer device than the 32 inch Sargent 1256-8804E for a 4 foot door - what options are there?
The 1256-8804E is built at 32 inches. For a wider leaf, 48 inch rim devices include the Marks USA M9900F 48 inch, which is fire rated and exit only, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 48 inch Grade 1 crossbar device, the DORMA 9300A 48 inch wide stile Grade 1 for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar. Only the Marks M9900F carries a fire rating among these.
12) Is an SDC switch bar or pressure sense bar the same thing as the Sargent 8804E with electric latch retraction?
No. The SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC SureExit PSB560 is a 36 inch pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology - both signal a separate locking device rather than latching the door themselves, and neither is listed as fire rated. The Sargent 1256-8804E is a night latch function rim device with its own single point latch, fire rated and Grade 1.
13) What finishes does the Sargent 8804E electric rim device come in?
Twelve finishes, all on the 32 inch device: 03 bright brass, 04 satin brass, 09 bright bronze, 10 satin bronze, 10B oil rubbed dark bronze, 10BE dark oxidized satin bronze, 10BL dark oxidized satin bronze clear coated, 20D dark statuary bronze lacquered, 32 bright stainless, 32D satin stainless, BSP black suede powder coat and WSP white suede powder coat. For matching an existing building standard, 32D satin stainless is the usual commercial default and BSP is the common dark architectural option.
14) We already run Sargent hardware in the building. Does the 8804E standardize with it?
It sits in the Sargent 8800 Series, the same wide stile rim platform used across their commercial exit hardware, so trim styles, finishes and keying follow the same Sargent program you are already buying. For a property manager replacing devices across a fleet of metal doors, matching the 8800 Series keeps one cylinder and one trim family across the openings rather than mixing brands door to door.
15) Do I need a rim device at all, or would a concealed vertical rod work in place of the Sargent 1256-8804E?
The 1256-8804E is a single point rim latching device that engages a surface strike on the frame. If the opening calls for top and bottom latching instead, the Hager 4501 is a 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad and the Hager 4601 is the narrow stile Grade 1 equivalent. Both require a door prepped for concealed rods, and neither is listed as fire rated, so a labeled opening still points back to a fire rated device.
