Sargent 55-56-8810F-LTRIM-32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sargent 8810 rim exit device work on a wood door?
No. The 8810 is set up for metal doors only in the configurations we carry. If the opening is a wood door, look at a rim device rated for wood, such as the Adams Rite 3700 Series fire-rated narrow stile rim device or the Adams Rite 8700 Series, both of which are listed as wood door compatible.
2) What do RX and MELR mean on the Sargent 8810?
RX is Request to Exit, a switch that signals the access control system when someone pushes the bar, so the door does not report as a forced opening. MELR is Motorized Electric Latch Retraction, which pulls the latch back electrically so the door can be released remotely or held on free access during business hours. Both come factory installed on the 8810, so there is no field electronics kit to add. You do need a power supply sized for the MELR motor before you wire it in.
3) Is the Sargent 8810 fire rated and panic listed?
Both. The 8810 carries UL10C Fire and UL305 Panic listings, and it is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1. That covers the usual code requirements for an egress door in a commercial or institutional corridor.
4) Can the Sargent 8810 be used on a pair of doors?
Yes, but as a rim device it latches into a strike on the frame or on a mullion, not at the head and threshold. On a pair you need a removable mullion so each leaf has something to latch into. Single doors take a standard rim strike. If you want a pair with no mullion and a clear opening, a vertical rod device is the right type instead, such as the Hager 4501 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad.
5) What is a comparable wide stile rim exit device if I need electrified latch retraction on a different brand?
The Sargent 8810 is a wide stile rim device with factory-installed RX and MELR functions. If the opening is specified for another manufacturer, the SDC Spectra S6136 is a 36 inch electrified architectural rim exit device with a 4 inch wide stile and a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Dormakaba E2103 is an electrified 36 inch rim device supplied with 4908A trim in an 08-classroom function. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors.
6) If I do not need the electronics, what plain mechanical wide stile rim device can I use instead?
Where the opening only needs a mechanical push pad rim device in a wide stile, the Von Duprin 22-3FT is a 36 inch non-handed Grade 1 wide stile pushpad rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the TownSteel ED9700 is a 36 inch heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile rim device. All three match the Sargent 8810 Grade 1 rating without the request to exit or motorized latch retraction hardware.
7) The Sargent 8810 will not fit my aluminum storefront stile - what narrow stile rim device should I look at?
The 8810 is built for wide stile openings, so on a narrow aluminum stile look instead at the Adams Rite 8800 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim device, rated Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, or the Falcon 19-R 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile exit only device.
8) Which rim exit devices carry a fire rating for a labeled opening?
For a labeled door, the Dexter ED1000-R-F is a Grade 1 fire rated rim exit device, the Marks USA M9900F is offered fire rated in 36 inch and 48 inch exit only, the Orca OED85 is a 36 inch fire rated rim device, and the Arrow FS1250 is a 32 inch fire rated rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Adams Rite 3700 Series is a fire rated Grade 1 narrow stile rim device if the stile is narrow.
9) Can I use a pressure sense bar or switch bar in place of the Sargent 8810?
They are not the same class of hardware. The 8810 is a single point rim latching device with its own latch. The SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC PSB560 SureExit is a 36 inch pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology - both fit narrow or wide stiles but depend on a separate locking device to secure the door rather than latching into a rim strike themselves.
10) Does the Sargent 8810 come keyed, and do I need a cylinder?
It is a non-keyed device, so no cylinder is supplied and no keyway needs to be specified. Access from the outside is controlled electrically through the MELR function and the access control system rather than by key. If the job calls for key override on the outside, a keyed-function rim device with night latch trim is the better path, for example the Detex V4003A/03AN wide stile rim device with night latch trim.
11) What else do I need to order to finish a Sargent 8810 MELR installation?
Beyond the device itself, plan for a low voltage power supply matched to the MELR current draw, a means of transferring power from frame to door, and wiring back to the access control panel for the RX signal. On a pair of doors, add a removable mullion so the rim latch has a strike. Confirm the voltage and current capacity against the device before energizing.
12) I need a hurricane-rated exit device for a coastal building. Does the Sargent 8800 cover that?
Sargent offers the 8800 platform in HC8800 and WS8800 hurricane-resistant configurations when specified that way. A standard 8810 order is not the hurricane version, so the hurricane configuration has to be called out on the order.
13) What is a straight alternative to the Sargent 8810 if I want a wide stile Grade 1 rim device without electronics?
For a mechanical wide stile rim device at Grade 1, the Von Duprin 22 Series 36 inch pushpad device is non-handed and fits 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a 36 inch wide stile Grade 1 rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim. Neither carries the RX and MELR electronics the 8810 has factory installed, so if you need latch retraction from an access control system, stay with the 8810.
14) Is there a lower-cost wide stile rim device for a light traffic back door instead of the Sargent 8810?
The Sargent 8810 is a Grade 1 device. Where a lighter chassis suits the opening, the Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch wide rim device with a touch bar on a Grade 2 heavy duty chassis and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch Grade 2 heavy duty push bar version. The Design Hardware 2000R is a 33 inch standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging.
15) What is the difference between the Sargent 8810 and a crossbar rim device like the CRL Jackson 1095 or Corbin Russwin ED3200?
The Sargent 8810 uses a push pad style wide stile rim chassis. The CRL Jackson 1095 is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device in a wide stile, exit only, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device in a wide stile for 1-3/4 inch doors, panic device only. Crossbar devices project a horizontal bar across the door face rather than a flush touch pad, which changes the door face clearance and the look in a finished lobby.
16) I need a matching device for a 48 inch leaf - what wide stile options come in that length?
The Sargent 8810 is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes. Other 48 inch wide stile options include the Dormakaba 9300A, a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile rim device, exit only, for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 Grade 1 48 inch crossbar wide stile device, and the Cal-Royal A9820 48 inch heavy duty rim device, exit only.
17) What extra heavy duty wide stile rim device competes with the Sargent 8810 for an abusive opening?
For openings taking more abuse than a standard commercial entry, the Detex 10 Advantex is a 36 inch wide stile extra heavy duty Grade 1 rim exit device, and the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device supplied with night latch trim. The Sargent 8810 is Grade 1 as well, so all three meet the same ANSI grade with different duty positioning.
18) Is a concealed vertical rod device an alternative to the Sargent 8810 rim device?
Only if the opening is prepped for it. The 8810 latches into a rim strike at a single point on the door frame. A Hager 4501 is a 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad and the Hager 4601 is the 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod version - both run rods inside the door to top and bottom latching, which requires a door prepped for concealed rods and cannot be swapped onto a door cut for a rim strike.
19) Will the Sargent 8810 hold up in a school or hospital corridor?
That is what it is built for. Grade 1 under ANSI/BHMA A156.3 is the highest commercial durability class, and the device is a commercial-only product with quiet operation that suits healthcare and education corridors. Grade 2 devices such as the Cal-Royal 5000 and 5500 are a lower durability class and better suited to lighter traffic.
