    Sargent 8804E 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

    1) Will a Sargent 8804 rim exit device fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
    No. The 8804 is a wide stile device, so it needs the wide face of a hollow metal or wide stile aluminum door to land on. On a typical 1-3/4 inch narrow stile storefront leaf there is not enough stile to mount it. For those doors go to a narrow stile rim device instead: the Adams Rite 3700 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device that is fire rated, the Adams Rite 8800 Series is the non fire rated narrow stile version rated for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim. Measure the lock stile before you order, because this is the single most common reason a rim device comes back.
    2) Can the Sargent 8804 go on a labeled fire door in a stairwell?
    Yes. The 8804 is UL10C fire rated and UL305 panic listed, and it meets ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1, which is the combination a stairwell or exit enclosure door is normally specified with. One thing to plan for: hardware on a labeled fire door has to latch every time the door closes, so mechanical dogging is not used on fire rated openings. If you need the door to push free during business hours, that has to be done with electric latch retraction tied into the fire alarm, not by dogging the bar down.
    3) What does the nightlatch function on the Sargent 8804 actually do?
    Night latch means egress is always free from the inside, push the bar and the door opens, while the outside stays locked and a key in the outside cylinder retracts the latch to let someone back in. That is the difference between the 8804 and a straight exit only device such as the Corbin Russwin ED2200 or the Marks USA M9900, which have no outside operation at all. Night latch is the right pick for a rear service door, a loading entrance, or a staff door where people leave through it all day and need to get back in with a key. Choose exit only where nobody should ever be entering from outside.
    4) Can I put Sargent 8804 exit devices on a pair of doors?
    Yes, with a mullion. The 8804 is a rim device, meaning it latches into a strike at the edge of the opening rather than at the head and threshold, so a pair needs something in the middle for both devices to latch into. Sargent's removable mullions cover it: the 980 is the extruded aluminum T-shape, the 980S is the steel version, and the L980 adds a lockable cylinder so the mullion cannot be pulled without a key. If the pair is a labeled fire opening, the mullion has to be fire rated as well, which is the 12-980 (removable) or the 12-L980 (lockable). A removable mullion pulls out when you need the full clear width for moving equipment through.
    5) What is the closest wide stile Grade 1 rim exit device to the Sargent 8804 from another manufacturer?
    The nearest match by format and function is the Detex V4003A/03AN, a wide stile rim exit device with night latch trim rated Grade 1 - the same wide stile, Grade 1, nightlatch combination the Sargent 8804 is built around. Two more wide stile Grade 1 rim devices sit in the same class: the Corbin Russwin ED5200, listed exit only and accepts trim, and the Dormakaba DORMA 8300 wide stile panic rim device. The TownSteel ED1100 at 36 inches is also a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile panic rim device. Any of the three is a rim device on a wide stile leaf, so the door prep concept is the same, but each brand uses its own strike, trim and template.
    6) Is the Adams Rite 8800 Series the same device as the Sargent 8800 Series?
    No. They share a number and nothing else. The Sargent 8804 is a model in the Sargent 8800 Series of wide stile rim exit devices with a nightlatch function. The Adams Rite 8800 Series is a narrow stile rim exit device with starwheel interlocking, Grade 1, for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches thick, offered as a 30 inch device. Ordering against the number 8800 alone will land on the wrong stile type, so quote and order the full identity: brand Sargent, series 8800, model 8804.
    7) I need a rim exit device on a labeled fire door. Which alternatives to the Sargent 8804 carry a fire rating?
    The Sargent 8804 is UL10C fire rated and UL305 panic listed. In other brands the fire rating rides on a specific model rather than the whole line, and the non-rated build often looks identical. The Marks USA M9900F is fire rated in both 36 and 48 inch, while the Marks USA M9900 at 36 inches is not; the Orca OED85 at 36 inches is fire rated and the Orca OED55 at 36 inches is not; the Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO is the fire rated build while the Dexter ED1000-R-EO in 3FT and 4FT is not. The Arrow FS1250 at 32 inches and the Adams Rite 3700 Series are also fire rated. On a labeled opening, confirm the exact model suffix, not just the series.
    8) The door needs outside lever access. Which rim exit devices take outside trim and which are device only?
    The Sargent 8804 is ordered with ET trim in A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W lever, or as exit device only with no trim. In other brands the trim path is part of the model: the Corbin Russwin ED4200 and ED5200 are both listed exit only and accepts trim, so outside lever trim can be added. Several close-looking devices are listed exit only - the Corbin Russwin ED2200 at 36 inches, the Marks USA M9900 at 36 inches, the Imperial USA ED-501, the Falcon 1590EO at 42 inches and the CRL Jackson 1295 Series push pad device. If the opening needs key or lever entry from the outside, confirm the model is one that accepts trim before it goes on the order.
    9) I have a pair of doors but cannot use a center mullion. Is a rim exit device still the right choice?
    No, and this is the point to switch device types. A rim device like the Sargent 8804 latches into a strike at the edge of the door, so on a pair with no mullion there is nothing for it to catch. When the opening has to stay clear from jamb to jamb, use a vertical rod device, which latches at the head and the sill instead. The Hager 4501 Series is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad, and the Hager 4601 is the narrow stile concealed rod version. Concealed rod runs inside the door, so the door has to be prepped for it, which is a decision to make before the doors are ordered rather than after.
    10) What outside trim do I have to specify with a Sargent 8804, and is it handed?
    Two decisions on the order form. First, device only or device with trim: ordering the 8804 with no trim gives you the bar and the latch with nothing on the outside face, while ET trim adds an outside lever. There are eight ET lever designs to pick from, the A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W levers, which is how you match the exit device to the levers already on the rest of the building. Second, lever trim is handed, so if you take any ET option you have to call out the hand, right hand reverse or left hand reverse. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right and the door swings toward you, that is right hand reverse. Get that wrong and the lever points the wrong way.
    11) What are the alternatives to a Sargent 8804 wide stile rim exit device?
    Among wide stile Grade 1 rim devices, the closest peers are the Von Duprin 22 Series pushpad device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 for 1-3/4 inch doors, the TownSteel ED1100, the Detex 10 Advantex, and the BEST Precision 2101. If the function matters more than the brand, the Detex V4003A is the other wide stile Grade 1 device carrying night latch trim like the 8804 does. The dividing line to watch is the fire label: the 8804 is UL10C fire rated, while the Von Duprin 22, the Corbin ED5200, the TownSteel ED1100 and the Detex 10 are all listed as non fire rated. On a labeled opening that difference decides it regardless of which brand the rest of the building runs.
    12) Is an SDC exit bar the same thing as a Sargent 8804 panic device?
    No, and swapping one for the other leaves the door unsecured. The SDC MSB550 is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC PSB560 SureExit is a pressure sense bar doing the same job. Neither one latches the door by itself. They are switches on a rail, and the security comes entirely from the maglock and its power supply. The 8804 is a mechanical rim latching device: it holds the door shut on its own latch with no power involved. If you are replacing a mechanical panic device, you need another mechanical panic device. Only look at the SDC bars if the opening already has an electromagnetic lock, access control, and the release circuit to go with it.
    13) Is there a Grade 2 rim exit device that covers the same opening as the Sargent 8804?
    The Sargent 8804 is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1. Cal-Royal builds the same rim format at Grade 2: the 5000 at 36 inches with a touch bar and the 5500 at 48 inches with a push bar, both listed heavy duty. Grade 1 and Grade 2 are separate tiers of the same standard, so the choice follows what the door schedule or hardware specification calls for rather than the device shape. Design Hardware splits its line the same way, with the 1000R at 33 inches listed heavy duty and the 2000R at 33 inches listed standard duty.
    14) I have a 48 inch wide leaf. Which rim exit devices cover that width?
    The Sargent 8804 is offered in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch device lengths, so the 48 inch build covers a wide leaf without a separate model. Other brands list the 48 inch as its own item: the Dormakaba DORMA 9300 at 48 inches, a heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile panic rim device, exit only, for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches; the Corbin Russwin ED3200 at 48 inches, a Grade 1 wide stile crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Cal-Royal 5500 at 48 inches with a push bar; the Marks USA M9900F at 48 inches, fire rated and exit only; and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series at 48 inches, a crossbar rim panic device.
    15) Can an SDC or Securitron exit bar be used in place of the Sargent 8804?
    Not as a direct swap. The Sargent 8804 provides single point rim latching that holds the door closed mechanically. The SDC MSB550 Series at 36 inches is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC SureExit PSB560 Series at 36 inches is a pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology; both are the release side of an electrified locking system and both are listed for narrow or wide stile doors. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors in the same family of products. If the opening depends on a latch rather than a magnet or strike release to stay secure, it needs a rim exit device.
    16) For a heavily abused exterior door, is there a rim exit device built beyond standard Grade 1 duty?
    The Sargent 8804 is Grade 1, the heavy duty commercial tier under ANSI/BHMA A156.3. Detex publishes a duty level above that within the Advantex line: the Detex 10 Series at 36 inches is a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device rated extra heavy duty, which keeps the same wide stile format as the 8804, and the Detex 40 Series is the extra heavy duty Grade 1 narrow stile version. The Stanley Security QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex key dogging, and the Dormakaba QED200 is the Grade 1 heavy duty equivalent at a 36 inch device.
    17) What goes on the inactive leaf so both doors of a pair look the same?
    The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a dummy exit device with a wide stile design, Grade 1, made to match the face of an operating device without providing exit function. Paired with a Sargent 8804 wide stile rim device on the active leaf, it gives the inactive leaf the same appearance while the latching stays on the active side only. Match the finish across both leaves when ordering; the 8804 is offered in finishes including 32D satin stainless steel, 10B dark oxidized satin bronze oil rubbed and BSP black suede powder coat.
    18) What finishes does the Sargent 8804 exit device come in for matching hardware across a building?
    Twelve finishes, which covers most standardization jobs: 03 bright brass clear coated, 04 satin brass clear coated, 09 bright bronze clear coated, 10 satin bronze clear coated, 10B dark oxidized satin bronze oil rubbed, 10BE dark oxidized satin bronze, 10BL dark oxidized satin bronze clear coated, 20D dark statuary bronze lacquered, 32 bright stainless steel, 32D satin stainless steel, plus BSP black suede powder coat and WSP white suede powder coat. For most commercial buildings 32D satin stainless is the standard spec and the safe match to existing lever sets and closers. The BSP and WSP powder coats are the ones to look at when the storefront or the door itself is painted black or white and a stainless bar would stand out.
    19) Do I really need a Grade 1 exit device, or will a Grade 2 do the job?
    It comes down to traffic and who inspects the opening. The Sargent 8804 is ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1, which is the level normally called out for main exits, stairwells, schools, healthcare and anything a spec writer or an AHJ is going to look at, and it is what holds up on a door cycled hundreds of times a day. Grade 2 is a lighter duty tier for lower traffic secondary doors: the Cal-Royal 5000 with a touch bar and the Cal-Royal 5500 with a push bar are Grade 2 rim devices. If the door is on a drawing that says Grade 1, or it is a fire rated exit, Grade 2 is not a substitute.
    20) The other exit doors in the building have crossbar devices. What matches that hardware alongside a Sargent 8804?
    The Sargent 8804 is a wide stile rim exit device with a nightlatch function. Where a building is standardized on crossbar hardware, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 at 48 inches is a Grade 1 wide stile crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series at 48 inches is a wide stile crossbar rim panic device. CRL also builds the 1095 in a paddle version, the 1095P, for openings where a bar across the face of the door is not wanted. All are rim devices, so the strike still mounts to the frame or mullion in each case.
