Sargent 5556-8804F 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the 04 nightlatch function actually do on this Sargent exit device?
Nightlatch means an outside key retracts the latchbolt for entry, and that is the only outside operation, there is no outside lever or knob holding the latch back. Push the pad from inside and you are out at any time. Because the device is supplied less dogging, it relatches on every cycle, so you cannot leave the latch held open mechanically during business hours; you hold it open electrically with the latch retraction instead.
2) What power supply do I need for the 5556 electric latch retraction on this Sargent device?
The 5556 option runs 24VDC continuous duty, so plan on a filtered, regulated 24VDC supply sized for the inrush of latch retraction plus continuous holding current. It is fail secure: power retracts the latch, and on power loss the latch drops back and the door secures. Free egress from the push pad is mechanical and is unaffected by power state.
3) Does this Sargent exit device include a request-to-exit signal for my access control panel?
Yes, the REX switch is built into the device. Pressing the push pad closes a signal back to the panel so the system logs a legitimate exit and shunts the door contact instead of throwing a forced-door alarm. That means you do not need a separate REX motion sensor at this opening for the door position input to behave.
4) I have a pair of doors. Can I use two of these Sargent rim devices?
A rim device latches into a strike on the frame or on a mullion, not at the head and sill, so on a pair you need a removable mullion between the leaves and one rim device per leaf. Without a mullion there is nothing for the rim latch to catch. If a clear opening with no mullion is required, you want a vertical rod device instead, such as the Hager 4501 Series concealed vertical rod in 36 inch.
5) The Sargent 5556-8804F is not fire rated. What fire rated rim exit device can I use on a labeled 36 inch door?
The Sargent 5556-8804F 8800 Series device is not fire rated, so a labeled opening needs a different device. Fire rated rim options at 36 inches include the Marks USA M9900F 36 inch rim exit device, exit only with a panic protector end cap, and the Orca Hardware OED85 Series 36 inch fire rated rim exit device, also exit only. The Dexter ED1000 Series fire rated rim exit device is a Grade 1 fire rated option as well. Note that fire rated devices are supplied without dogging, the same as the 5556-8804F, which is a less dogging build.
6) My door has a narrow stile aluminum frame. Will the Sargent 5556-8804F work, or do I need a different device?
The Sargent 5556-8804F is built as a wide stile device and is not the right fit for a narrow stile aluminum door. Narrow stile rim devices in the same 36 inch range include the Corbin Russwin ED4200 Grade 1 narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices, and the Falcon 19-R 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile rim device, exit only. The Adams Rite 8800 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim device with starwheel interlocking covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors if the stile is aluminum storefront.
7) Is an SDC pressure sense bar or switch bar the same thing as the Sargent 5556-8804F electrified exit device?
No. The Sargent 5556-8804F is a Grade 1 rim exit device with a latchbolt, night latch function, remote latch retraction and a request-to-exit signal, so the device itself secures the door. The SDC MSB550 Series 36 inch mechanical switch bar releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC SureExit PSB560 Series 36 inch pressure sense bar with Tri-Failsafe technology works the same way as a release bar rather than a latching device. Both SDC bars fit narrow or wide stile doors, but they require a separate locking device on the opening, where the Sargent device provides the latch.
8) What is the closest electrified rim exit device to the Sargent 5556-8804F if I need latch retraction on a 36 inch wide stile door?
The Sargent 5556-8804F is a 36 inch wide stile rim device with remote latch retraction and a request-to-exit signal. Two comparable electrified rim devices cover the same 36 inch wide stile opening: the SDC S6136 Spectra S6000 Series 36 inch electrified architectural rim exit device with a 4 inch wide stile, which lists a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Dormakaba E2103 electrified 36 inch rim exit device supplied with 4908A trim in a classroom function. The SDC unit is the closer match on stile and size; the Dormakaba comes as a device-and-trim package in classroom function rather than night latch.
9) I do not need electric latch retraction, just a Grade 1 wide stile rim device at 36 inches. What should I order instead of the Sargent 5556-8804F?
If the opening needs no access control tie-in, a mechanical 36 inch wide stile Grade 1 rim device covers it. The Von Duprin 22-3FT is a 36 inch non-handed wide stile pushpad rim device, Grade 1, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Corbin Russwin ED2200 is a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile rim device in exit only. The Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile rim device that accepts trim, which matters if you still want an exterior key function. The Sargent 5556-8804F differs in carrying remote latch retraction and a request-to-exit signal that none of these three include.
10) Is the Sargent 8800 Series rim device Grade 1?
Yes, ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, the highest commercial rating and the one usually written into school, hospital, and government specs for high-cycle openings. It is also UL Listed panic hardware. If you are standardizing a facility on Grade 1 rim devices from other makers, the Von Duprin 22 Series in 36 inch and the Corbin Russwin ED5200 in 36 inch are wide stile Grade 1 equivalents.
11) Is there another electrified 36 inch wide stile rim device I could spec instead of the Sargent?
The SDC S6136 Spectra S6000 Series is a 36 inch electrified architectural rim device with a 4 inch wide stile, rated for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inches thick, and non-fire-rated. Dormakaba also offers an electrified 36 inch rim device supplied with 4908A classroom trim if you want the outside trim in the same package rather than ordering it separately as you would with the Sargent.
12) Can I put the Sargent 5556-8804F on a wood door?
No. The Sargent 5556-8804F 8800 Series device is not wood door compatible. Among comparable rim devices, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch fire rated narrow stile rim device and the Adams Rite 8700 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim device are both listed as wood door compatible. Both use starwheel interlocking and are narrow stile, so confirm the stile width on the wood door before ordering.
13) I need a wide stile rim device with hex key dogging instead of the less dogging Sargent 5556-8804F. What options are there?
The Sargent 5556-8804F is a less dogging build, so the pushpad cannot be held retracted mechanically. If the opening needs dogging, the Design Hardware 1000R 33 inch heavy duty rim device and the Design Hardware 2000R 33 inch standard duty wide stile rim device are both supplied with hex key dogging. The Stanley Security QED211 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex-key dogging if the door is narrow stile. None of these carry the electric latch retraction or request-to-exit signal the Sargent device includes.
14) The Sargent 5556-8804F is Grade 1. Are the Cal-Royal rim devices an equivalent for a 36 inch opening?
Not on the grade line. The Sargent 5556-8804F carries an ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 rating. The Cal-Royal 5000 36 inch wide rim exit device with touch bar is a Grade 2 heavy duty chassis, and the Cal-Royal A9800 Series 36 inch rim exit device, exit only, is also listed Grade 2 heavy duty. For a spec calling Grade 1 at 36 inches, the TownSteel ED1100 36 inch heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile rim device or the TownSteel ED9700 36 inch heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile rim device match the grade and stile.
15) I have a pair of doors and need vertical rod hardware, not the rim Sargent 5556-8804F. What should I look at?
The Sargent 5556-8804F is a rim device, which latches into a strike on the frame or the adjacent door and is not a vertical rod solution. For concealed vertical rod at 36 inches, the Hager 4501 Series is a 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod exit device with a wide stile pushpad, matching the wide stile pushpad style of the Sargent device, and the Hager 4601 Series is a 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device in narrow stile. Confirm the door prep will accept concealed rods before switching from rim.
16) For a high abuse opening, is there a heavier wide stile rim device than the Sargent 5556-8804F?
The Sargent 5556-8804F is an ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 wide stile rim device. If the traffic warrants a step beyond standard Grade 1, the Detex 10 Advantex Series 36 inch wide stile device is rated extra heavy duty and Grade 1, and the Detex 40 Advantex Series is an extra heavy duty Grade 1 device in narrow stile. The tradeoff is that neither Detex device includes the remote latch retraction and request-to-exit signal the Sargent unit carries for access control integration.
17) What finishes does the Sargent 5556-8804F come in?
Twelve finishes across the 36 inch size: 03 bright brass, 04 satin brass, 09 bright bronze, 10 satin bronze, 10B oil rubbed dark oxidized bronze, 10BE dark oxidized satin bronze, 10BL dark oxidized satin bronze clear coated, 20D dark statuary bronze, 32 bright stainless, 32D satin stainless, BSP black suede powder coat, and WSP white suede powder coat. For matching a building already fitted out in commercial stainless, 32D is the usual standard.
