Sargent 12-55-56-8810F-LTRIM-32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What do the RX and MELR options on a Sargent 8810 exit device actually do on an access control job?
Both come factory installed on this 8810. RX is the request-to-exit switch: it signals the access control panel that someone pushed the bar from the inside, so the panel does not read the door opening as a forced entry alarm. MELR is motorized electric latch retraction: on a card read or a front-desk release, a motor pulls the rim latch back and holds it retracted so the door is free to pull open, then releases it back to latched. Motor latch retraction draws real current at the pull-in, so the device needs to be fed from a power supply sized for electric latch retraction, not from a spare doorbell transformer.
2) Will a Sargent 8810 rim exit device work on a wood door?
No. The 8810 as configured here is a metal door device, not listed for wood door mounting. If the opening is a wood door, look at a rim device rated for it instead, such as the Adams Rite 3700 Series fire-rated rim device, which is listed as wood door compatible. Trying to through-bolt a metal-door device into a wood fire door is also the fastest way to void the door's label.
3) Can I use the Sargent 8810 on a pair of doors, or do I need vertical rod devices?
A rim device latches into a strike at the frame or at a mullion, so on a pair of doors the 8810 needs a removable mullion between the leaves, one device per leaf latching into that mullion. Without a mullion, a rim device has nothing to catch. If the pair has to stay clear-opening with no center post, go to a vertical rod device instead, for example the Hager 4501 Series concealed vertical rod with wide stile pushpad. Keep in mind that on a labeled pair, the mullion and its strikes have to be part of the listed assembly.
4) Is a cylinder included with the Sargent 12-8810, or do I key it separately?
No cylinder and no keyed function here. The 12-8810 is a non-keyed device, so key control on this opening comes from the access control side (card reader driving the MELR) rather than from a rim cylinder in the trim. If your spec calls for mechanical key override or a night latch pull with a cylinder, that is a different function within the Sargent 8800 Series, not this one.
5) Is the Sargent 8810 a wide stile or narrow stile device, and what happens if my door stile is narrow?
Wide stile. The 8810 is built for standard wide stile doors, which is what you get on hollow metal and most heavy commercial entrances. It will not lay out correctly on a narrow stile aluminum storefront leaf. For those doors, go to a narrow stile rim device such as the Corbin Russwin ED4200 or the TownSteel ED3700, both Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices. Measure the lock stile before ordering, because a wide stile chassis on a narrow stile leaf is a return, not an adjustment.
6) What is the closest fire-rated wide stile rim exit device to the Sargent 8810 from another manufacturer?
The Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO is the nearest cross-brand match on the two specs that usually govern the opening: it is a Grade 1 rim exit device carrying a fire rating, same as the Sargent 8810, which is Grade 1 and fire rated. The Dexter is an exit-only device, so if the access control integration is what you are buying the Sargent for, the Dexter covers the mechanical side of the opening only.
7) I need a fire-rated rim device but the door is a narrow stile aluminum storefront. What do I use instead of the Sargent 8810?
The Sargent 8810 is built as a wide stile device and will not suit a narrow stile aluminum door. The Adams Rite 3700 Series in 30 inch is a fire-rated narrow stile rim exit device rated Grade 1, which is the usual answer on storefront. The Adams Rite 3700 is also listed as wood door compatible, while the Sargent 8810 is not.
8) Is the SDC S6136 electrified exit device an equivalent to the Sargent 8810 with MELR?
They are both electrified wide stile rim devices, but they do not cross on fire. The SDC S6136 is a 36 inch electrified architectural rim exit device with a 4 inch wide stile, fitting doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and it is not fire rated. The Sargent 8810 is fire rated and Grade 1. On a labeled opening the SDC is not a drop-in; on a non-rated access-controlled opening it is a direct functional alternative.
9) Is an SDC switch bar or pressure sense bar the same thing as the Sargent 8810 with MELR?
No. The SDC MSB550 in 36 inch is a mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release and the SDC PSB560 in 36 inch is a pressure sense bar; both fit narrow or wide stile doors and neither is fire rated. Those bars release a separate maglock rather than retracting a latch. The Sargent 8810 is a Grade 1 fire-rated rim exit device with its own rim latch and factory-installed motorized electric latch retraction.
10) Does a fire rated exit device like the Sargent 8810 have dogging?
Fire rated devices do not get mechanical dogging. Holding a latch retracted mechanically on a labeled opening defeats the fire door, so the 8810, being UL10C fire rated, latches on every closure. The way you get a push-pull, free-entry condition on this device during business hours is electrically, through the MELR, which the fire alarm interface drops so the latch re-engages on alarm. If you want hex key dogging for a non-rated opening, that is a mechanical device like the Design Hardware 1000R with hex key dogging.
11) What sizes and finishes does the Sargent 8810 rim exit device come in?
Two device lengths, 36 inch and 48 inch, each in 32D satin stainless steel or 10BE dark oxidized satin bronze. Pick the 36 inch for a standard 3-0 leaf and the 48 inch for a 4-0 leaf. 32D is the usual match when the rest of the building is satin stainless; 10BE is the dark bronze look that pairs with oil-rubbed and dark anodized storefront.
12) What else on the market is a fire rated Grade 1 rim exit device if the Sargent 8810 is not the right fit?
Among fire rated rim devices, the Dexter ED1000 Series fire rated rim device is Grade 1 and fire rated, and the Orca Hardware OED85 Series comes as a 36 inch fire rated rim, exit only. The Marks USA M9900F is fire rated and offered in both 36 and 48 inch, exit only. The difference to watch: those are mechanical exit-only devices. None of them is listed here with factory RX and motor latch retraction, so if the opening has to tie into an access control system with electric release and a request-to-exit signal, the 8810 with RX and MELR is doing work the others are not.
13) The Detex 00 Series dummy exit device also says dummy. Does it replace the Sargent 8810 dummy?
They share the dummy function and a wide stile format, but they are not interchangeable on a labeled door. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a super-heavy-duty wide stile dummy exit device rated Grade 1. The Sargent 8810 is also Grade 1 and carries a fire rating, and it is built with factory-installed request-to-exit and motorized electric latch retraction for access control tie-in. If the opening needs the electrified functions or the fire label, the Detex 00 is not a substitute.
14) What is the difference between the Sargent 8810 and a crossbar rim device like the CRL Jackson 1095 or Corbin Russwin ED3200?
Push rail versus crossbar. The CRL Jackson 1095 in 48 inch is a crossbar rim panic device, wide stile, exit only, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors, panic device only. Neither is fire rated. The Sargent 8810 is a fire-rated Grade 1 wide stile rim device. Crossbar hardware is generally specified where an existing building standard already uses it.
15) Is a Cal-Royal 5000 or A9800 a direct alternative to the Sargent 8810?
Not on a rated opening. The Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch heavy duty wide rim exit device with a touch bar and the A9800 is a 36 inch rim device in exit only; both are listed as Grade 2 and neither is fire rated. The Sargent 8810 is Grade 1 with a fire rating. For a like-for-like Grade 1 fire-rated swap, look at the Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO instead.
16) What fire-rated rim device should I look at if I want a 36 inch option other than the Sargent 8810?
At 36 inches the fire-rated rim alternatives are the Orca Hardware OED85 Series, an exit-only fire rated rim device, and the Marks USA M9900F-36, a fire-rated rim device in exit only with a panic protector end cap. The Arrow FS1250 is fire rated at 32 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors if a shorter device fits the leaf. All three are mechanical exit-only devices, where the Sargent 8810 is Grade 1 and built with factory-installed request-to-exit and motorized latch retraction.
17) The opening needs vertical rod hardware, not rim. What replaces the Sargent 8810 there?
The Sargent 8810 is a rim device with single-point latching, so it does not serve a pair needing top and bottom latching. The Hager 4501 Series in 36 inch is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod exit device with a wide stile pushpad, and the Hager 4601 in 36 inch is the narrow stile concealed vertical rod version. Neither Hager is fire rated, so confirm the label requirement on the opening first.
