    Sargent 8815E 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

    1) What does passage function mean on a Sargent 8815, and is it the right choice if I need to lock the outside?
    Passage means free entry from outside at all times when trim is fitted, and free egress from inside. Nothing about the outside trim locks or unlocks with a key. If you need the outside controlled, passage is the wrong function on the 8815 and you want a keyed function from the 8800 Series instead. If you want no outside operation at all, an exit only device is the answer, like the Corbin Russwin ED2200 or the Von Duprin 22 Series, both Grade 1 wide stile rim devices.
    2) Can I use a Sargent 8815 rim device on a pair of doors?
    Yes, but a rim device latches into a strike on the frame, so on a pair you need something at the center for the strike to land on. That means a mullion. Sargent's own 980 line covers it: the 980 and 980A removable T-shape aluminum mullions, the 980S steel version, the L980 family if you want it lockable, the 12-980 and 12-HC980 for fire rated openings, and the EL980 when you need it electrified. Without a mullion, look at a vertical rod device instead, which latches at head and threshold and leaves the center clear.
    3) Is the Sargent 8815 fire rated and panic listed?
    Both. The 8815 carries UL10C Fire and UL305 Panic listings, and it is ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1. That combination is what lets it go on a rated stair or corridor door in a school, hospital, or government building where the AHJ wants a labeled device on a labeled opening. Note that a fire rated opening with a pair of doors needs a fire rated mullion, not a standard one.
    4) What device length do I order for a Sargent 8815 on a 36 inch door?
    Device length follows door width, and the 8815 comes in 32, 36, 42, and 48 inch lengths. A 36 inch door takes the 36 inch device. Wider openings up to 4 feet take the 48. One thing to watch: if you add the AL alarmed option, the door has to be at least 36 inches wide, so the 32 inch device and AL do not go together.
    5) Do I have to specify handing on a Sargent 8815?
    Only if you are ordering lever trim. The device itself doesn't need it, but if you pick any of the ET trims, you specify RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse). Exit doors swing out, so the handing you give is always a reverse bevel designation. Order the device without trim and there is no handing to call out.
    6) Can I put the Sargent 8815 on a wood door, and if not what rim device goes on one?
    The Sargent 8815 is specified for metal door construction rather than wood. For a wood door opening, the Adams Rite 3700 Series is a 30 inch fire rated narrow stile rim exit device, Grade 1, listed wood door compatible, and the Adams Rite 8700 Series is a 30 inch narrow stile rim device, Grade 1, also wood door compatible but not fire rated. Both use starwheel interlocking. Match the fire rating to what the opening requires before choosing between them.
    7) What rim exit device should I use on a narrow stile aluminum storefront door instead of the Sargent 8815?
    The Sargent 8815 is built for wide stile openings, so on a narrow stile aluminum door the device to specify is a narrow stile rim device. The Adams Rite 8800 Series is a 30 inch narrow stile rim exit device, Grade 1, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick. The Falcon 19-R is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device, 36 inch, exit only, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the TownSteel ED3700 is a 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile rim device. All three keep the Grade 1 rating the 8815 carries while fitting the narrow rail a storefront door gives you.
    8) What is the closest wide stile rim exit device to the Sargent 8815 from another manufacturer?
    The Von Duprin 22 Series is the nearest match in form: a 36 inch wide stile pushpad rim exit device, non-handed, Grade 1, for 1-3/4 inch doors. Like the Sargent 8815, it is a wide stile rim device carrying an ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 rating. The Sargent 8815 covers a broader size range, offered in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch, and takes ET lever trim in A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W levers, so if the opening needs outside lever access the 8815 handles it on the same device where the Von Duprin 22 in that configuration is pushpad rim hardware for a 1-3/4 inch door.
    9) Is the Cal-Royal 5000 a direct substitute for the Sargent 8815?
    They are not on the same rating line. The Sargent 8815 carries ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 certification along with UL10C Fire and UL305 Panic listings. The Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch wide rim exit device with a touch bar and a Grade 2 chassis, listed heavy duty and not fire rated. The Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch wide rim device with a push bar, also Grade 2 and not fire rated. If the drawing or the facility standard calls for Grade 1 with a fire listing, the 8815 is the device that meets it.
    10) I need electrified latch retraction on a wide stile door - is the Sargent 8815 the right device or should I look at a dedicated electrified bar?
    The Sargent 8815 takes electric options ordered on the device, including 56 Remote Dogging / Latch Retraction, 58 Electric Dogging, 55 Signal Switch in Rail, 53 Latchbolt Monitor Switch and 59 Electroguard, so the mechanical Grade 1 rim device and the electrified function come as one assembly. A dedicated electrified alternative is the SDC S6136 Spectra S6000 Series, a 36 inch electrified architectural rim exit device with a 4 inch wide stile, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. The SDC PSB560 SureExit is a 36 inch pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology for narrow or wide stile, and the SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock rather than latching the door itself, so it is not a substitute where a latchbolt is required.
    11) The Sargent 8815 is passage function - what do I order if the opening needs a keyed or classroom function instead?
    The Sargent 8815 is a passage function device, meaning the outside trim is always free once specified. For an opening that must lock from the outside, the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device with night latch trim, and the Dormakaba E2103 is an electrified 36 inch rim exit device with 4908A trim in the 08 classroom function. The Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile rim device that accepts trim, so the function is set by the trim you pair with it.
    12) Does the Detex Advantex 00 Series work as a substitute for the Sargent 8815 on the inactive leaf of a pair?
    No, and the distinction matters on a pair of doors. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a super heavy duty dummy exit device with wide stile design, Grade 1 - a dummy device has no latching mechanism and is used to match the appearance of a working device. The Sargent 8815 is a functioning single point rim latching device. If both leaves of the pair have to latch and release, both need working hardware; the dummy only belongs where the leaf is held by other means. For a working extra heavy duty wide stile peer, the Detex 10 Advantex Series is a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device.
    13) What fire rated rim exit devices compare to the Sargent 8815 for a rated opening?
    The Sargent 8815 is UL10C Fire and UL305 Panic listed with ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 certification. Fire rated rim peers include the Dexter ED1000 Series fire rated rim exit device, Grade 1; the Orca Hardware OED85 Series, a 36 inch fire rated rim device, exit only; the Marks USA M9900F, a 36 inch fire rated rim device, exit only with a panic protector end cap; and the Arrow FS1250, a 32 inch fire rated rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Sargent 8815 and the Dexter ED1000 fire rated device both carry Grade 1 alongside the fire rating.
    14) What lever trim options are available on the Sargent 8815?
    Eight ET lever designs, A, B, E, F, J, L, P, and W, or you can order the device alone with no trim. The lever shape is the part that has to match the rest of the building, so on a standardization job pick one ET letter and carry it across every opening. Choosing a trim is also what triggers the handing call-out.
    15) What finishes does the Sargent 8815 come in, and can I match existing brass or bronze hardware?
    Twelve finishes on the 8815: bright and satin brass (03, 04), bright and satin bronze (09, 10), four dark oxidized bronze variants (10B oil rubbed, 10BE, 10BL clear coated, 20D dark statuary lacquered), bright and satin stainless (32, 32D), plus black and white suede powder coats (BSP, WSP). For a building already running satin stainless, 32D is the standard commercial match. For older brass or bronze openings, the 03 through 20D range gives you a close pull without repainting the whole entry.
    16) Is there a hurricane rated version of the Sargent 8800 Series exit device?
    Yes. For coastal and high wind openings the 8800 Series is available in HC8800 or WS8800 configurations, which have to be specified at order. Pair them with a hurricane code mullion on double doors, like the HC980, HCL980 lockable version, or the fire rated 12-HC980 and 12-HC-L980. Standard 8815 hardware is not a substitute on a wind-borne debris opening.
    17) What is the difference between a rim exit device and a vertical rod device for my opening?
    A rim device like the Sargent 8815 latches once, into a strike on the frame at the push pad height. That is the simplest install and the easiest to maintain, and it is the right pick for a single door in a frame. It is also why a pair of doors needs a mullion. A concealed vertical rod device instead latches top and bottom into the head and the threshold, which secures a pair with a clear opening between the leaves. The Hager 4501 is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad if that is the way your opening has to go.
    18) What is the difference between the Sargent 8815 and a crossbar rim device like the Corbin Russwin ED3200?
    The actuator is the difference. The Sargent 8815 is a wide stile rim device with a single point rim latching system on a push rail. The Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim exit device, wide stile, panic device only, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device, wide stile, exit only. A crossbar device carries a horizontal bar across the door face rather than a push pad rail, which matters when a facility is standardizing on one look across a bank of doors.
    19) I only need push to exit with no outside trim - is there a simpler rim device than the Sargent 8815?
    Yes. The Sargent 8815 can be ordered as exit device only with no trim, but if the opening never needs outside lever access, exit only devices are purpose built for it. The Corbin Russwin ED2200 is a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile rim device, exit only, and the TownSteel ED1100 is a 36 inch heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile panic rim device. The Imperial USA ED-501 is a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile rim panic device, exit only. Each stays wide stile and Grade 1 like the 8815 while dropping the trim side of the specification.
    20) Is a concealed vertical rod device like the Hager 4501 an alternative to the Sargent 8815?
    They latch differently and are not interchangeable. The Sargent 8815 is a rim device with a single point rim latching system that catches a surface strike on the frame or a mullion. The Hager 4501 Series is a 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod exit device with a wide stile pushpad, and the Hager 4601 is a 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod narrow stile device. Vertical rod hardware latches top and bottom through rods inside the door, so the door itself must be prepped for concealed rods. If the door is already prepped for rim hardware, a rim device is what goes back in.
    21) What wide stile rim exit device matches the Sargent 8815 on a 48 inch door opening?
    The Sargent 8815 is offered in a 48 inch size. Peers at that width include the Dormakaba 9300 Series, a 48 inch wide stile panic rim device, Grade 1 heavy duty, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Corbin Russwin ED3200, a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device, wide stile, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Marks USA M9900F, a 48 inch fire rated rim panic device, exit only, with a panic protector end cap. Confirm the device length against the actual door width before ordering.
    22) Is the Securitron EMB exit bar the same kind of product as the Sargent 8815?
    No. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar listed for a 2-1/4 inch door thickness - it is an electrified egress bar rather than a mechanical Grade 1 panic latch. The Sargent 8815 is an ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 device with UL10C Fire and UL305 Panic listings and a single point rim latch. Where a rated opening needs a mechanical latch that meets panic hardware requirements, the 8815 is the device that carries those listings.
    23) I am standardizing exit hardware across a building - which wide stile Grade 1 rim devices should I be comparing against the Sargent 8815?
    The wide stile Grade 1 rim peers worth putting side by side with the Sargent 8815 are the Von Duprin 22 Series, 36 inch non-handed pushpad for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Corbin Russwin ED5200, 36 inch wide stile that accepts trim; the DORMA 8300 Series wide stile panic rim device; the TownSteel ED9700, a 36 inch heavy duty wide stile device; and the Detex 10 Advantex, a 36 inch extra heavy duty wide stile device. The Sargent 8815 spans 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch sizes and twelve finishes from 03 Bright Brass through 32D Satin Stainless Steel to BSP Black Suede Powder Coat, which is the range to check against whatever finish the rest of the building already carries.
    24) Can I standardize a whole building on the Sargent 8815?
    For metal doors, yes, and that is what the 8800 Series is built around. One device family covers 32 through 48 inch openings, twelve finishes, and eight ET lever designs, so every corridor, stair, and exterior door reads the same to a tenant and stocks the same parts in your shop. Two limits to plan around: wood doors need a different device entirely, and any opening needing a locked outside needs a keyed function rather than the 8815's passage.
