    Sargent 8816E 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

    1) What does the classroom security function on the Sargent 8816 exit device actually do?
    Classroom security means the door can be locked or unlocked from either side with a key, so a teacher never has to step into the corridor to secure the room. The 8816 is set up as a double cylinder keyed device, which is what gives you key control on both the inside and the outside. Egress is unaffected: pushing the pad retracts the latch and lets people out regardless of how it is keyed.
    2) What length Sargent 8816 do I order for a 36 inch door?
    Device length is picked off door width, and the 8816 comes in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch. A 36 inch leaf takes the 36 inch device. Order the 32 inch for narrower leaves and the 42 or 48 inch for wide openings. One note if you are adding the AL alarmed option: that option requires a 36 inch minimum door width, so it is off the table on a 32 inch leaf.
    3) Do I have to specify handing when ordering a Sargent 8816?
    Only if you are taking lever trim. The device itself does not need a hand, but ET lever trim does, and you specify either RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse). Exit doors swing out, so the hand you want is almost always the reverse designation, read standing outside the door. Order the device with no trim and handing drops out of the question entirely.
    4) The door has a narrow aluminum stile - what rim exit device goes there instead of the Sargent 8816?
    The 8816 is built for wide stile openings, so a narrow aluminum stile needs a narrow stile device. The Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim. The Falcon 19-R is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors, exit only. The Adams Rite 8800 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim device covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Where key control is part of the requirement, the device that accepts trim is the one to carry forward, since exit only has no outside keyed function.
    5) Which rim exit devices are fire rated like the Sargent 8816 for a labeled classroom door?
    The Sargent 8816 carries UL10C fire and UL305 panic listings. Among the peers, the fire rated rim devices are the Dexter ED1000-R-F, a Grade 1 fire rated rim device; the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch fire rated narrow stile rim device, Grade 1; the Arrow FS1250, a fire rated 32 inch rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Orca OED85 Series 36 inch fire rated rim device; and the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch and 48 inch. On a labeled opening the non-rated versions of those same families cannot be swapped in, so confirm the rated part number and not just the series.
    6) What is the closest Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device to the Sargent 8816 if Sargent is not an option?
    The Sargent 8816 is a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device. Two peers match that combination directly: the Von Duprin 22-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile pushpad rim device in a 36 inch, non-handed configuration, and the Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device at 36 inches that accepts trim. Both are for metal doors rather than wood. The difference that matters on a classroom opening is function: the 8816 is a classroom security function with a double cylinder keyed arrangement, while the ED5200 is catalogued as exit only or accepts trim, so the trim and cylinder side has to be specified separately to get comparable key control.
    7) Is an exit only rim device a substitute for the Sargent 8816?
    No. The 8816 is a keyed classroom security function with a double cylinder arrangement and it accepts ET lever trim in A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W levers. Devices catalogued as exit only - the Corbin Russwin ED2200 at 36 inches, the Imperial USA ED-501 500 Series 36 inch wide stile rim device, the Marks USA M9900 at 36 inches, the Orca OED55 at 36 inches - give egress from the inside with no outside keyed control. They are a correct swap only where the opening genuinely needs push to exit and nothing on the pull side. For a classroom where staff must operate the door from the corridor with a key, the outside trim is the whole point of the device.
    8) What looks like a match for the Sargent 8816 but will not work as one?
    Three traps. A dummy device - the Detex Advantex 00 Series is a super heavy duty wide stile dummy exit device - looks identical on the door but has no latching and no keyed function at all. A switch bar such as the SDC MSB550 36 inch mechanical switch bar releases an electromagnetic lock rather than latching into a strike, so the locking is in a separate device. And the Adams Rite 8800 Series shares the 8800 number with the Sargent 8800 Series but is a narrow stile device, non fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The 8816 is wide stile, Grade 1, keyed classroom security with a latching rim mechanism.
    9) What outside trim can I get on the Sargent 8816, and can I order it without any?
    Eight ET lever designs are available (A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W levers), so you can match the lever profile already on the rest of the building's openings. You can also order it as exit device only with no outside trim, which is the right call on a door that should never be entered from the outside. On a classroom security function the outside trim is what the key works through, so most classroom jobs take an ET lever rather than device only.
    10) What is the closest equivalent to the Sargent 8816 from another brand?
    For a Grade 1 wide stile rim device the direct cross-references are the Von Duprin 22 Series pushpad device, the Corbin Russwin ED5200, and the TownSteel ED9700. The BEST Precision 2101 and Dormakaba 8300 are also wide stile rim devices. Be aware that those are catalogued as exit only or device configurations rather than classroom security keyed function, so if key control from both sides is the point of the job, the 8816 function is what you are matching, not just the device body.
    11) Can the Sargent 8816 be held unlocked during the day for a school office door?
    Yes, by ordering an electric dogging option. Specify 58 for electric dogging or 56 for remote dogging and latch retraction, and the push pad can be held depressed so the door pushes open freely during occupied hours, then relocks when the signal drops. Note that mechanical dogging is not permitted on fire rated openings, and the 8816 is UL10C fire listed, so on a labeled door plan on the door latching at all times and controlling access through the trim instead.
    12) Which rim exit device should be used for a 48 inch opening instead of the Sargent 8816?
    The Sargent 8816 already covers 48 inches - it is offered in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch sizes. If a different brand is needed at that width, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dormakaba 9300 is a Grade 1 heavy duty 48 inch wide stile rim device covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Marks USA M9900F is a 48 inch fire rated rim device. The Corbin and Dormakaba units are exit only or panic device only, so outside key control is not part of them the way it is with the 8816 classroom security function.
    13) The Sargent 8816 offers electric options - what other rim exit devices are electrified?
    The 8816 can be ordered with electric options including a latchbolt monitor switch, an internal micro switch in the ET control, a signal switch in the rail, remote dogging and latch retraction, electric dogging, and Electroguard. Peers built around electrification include the Dormakaba electrified rim 36 inch device with 4908A trim, which is a classroom function; the SDC S6136 Spectra, a 36 inch electrified architectural rim device with a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors; and the Securitron EMB electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors. The SDC PSB560 36 inch pressure sense bar and MSB550 mechanical switch bar are switch bars for narrow or wide stile, a different approach from a latching rim device.
    14) For standardizing a school district on one rim exit device, which Grade 1 wide stile options are comparable to the Sargent 8816?
    The Sargent 8816 is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device in the 8800 Series, offered from 32 to 48 inches with ET lever trim. Grade 1 wide stile peers that could anchor a district standard instead are the Von Duprin 22-3FT at 36 inches, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 at 36 inches, the Dormakaba 8300 Series, the TownSteel ED1100 at 36 inches heavy duty, the TownSteel ED9700 at 36 inches heavy duty, and the Detex Advantex 10 Series at 36 inches, rated extra heavy duty. The point that decides standardization is not the chassis but the trim and keying: the 8816 carries the classroom security function with double cylinder keying across every size, so one function and one keyway can run the whole building.
    15) Does a crossbar rim device work where the Sargent 8816 is specified?
    The 8816 uses a push rail with ET lever trim options. Crossbar devices are a different operator: the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device, wide stile and exit only. Crossbar hardware projects further from the door face and is exit only in these cases, so on a classroom opening that needs outside key operation it changes what the door can do, not just how it looks. The CRL Jackson 1095P is the paddle version of the same family if the crossbar profile is the objection.
    16) Is there a non-handed rim exit device to avoid specifying handing like the Sargent 8816 requires with lever trim?
    Handing on the 8816 only comes into play when ET lever trim is selected, where it is ordered RHR or LHR. If handing is a sourcing headache, non-handed peers exist: the Von Duprin 22-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile pushpad rim device at 36 inches, non-handed; the BEST Precision 5101 is a non-handed universal design rim device; and the CRL Jackson 1295 is a non-handed push pad rim panic device, wide stile, for 1-3/4 inch doors. Those are exit only or device-level products, so a keyed outside function still has to be resolved separately, which is where the handed lever trim on the 8816 comes back in.
    17) What finishes does the Sargent 8816 come in for matching existing school hardware?
    Twelve finishes are available across brass, bronze, stainless and powder coat: 03 bright brass, 04 satin brass, 09 bright bronze, 10 satin bronze, 10B oil rubbed dark oxidized satin bronze, 10BE, 10BL, 20D dark statuary bronze, 32 bright stainless, 32D satin stainless, plus BSP black and WSP white suede powder coat. For most institutional corridors 32D satin stainless is the standard match, and the BSP and WSP powder coats are there when the device has to disappear into a painted door.
    18) I need an exit device with a crossbar rather than a push pad. Does the Sargent 8816 have one?
    The 8816 is a push pad style rim device in the Sargent 8800 Series. If your building standard is a crossbar, look at the Corbin Russwin ED3200 Grade 1 wide stile crossbar rim device or the CRL Jackson 1095 Series crossbar, available in 48 inch. Crossbar devices are usually a retrofit-matching decision, where the rest of the doors already carry one.
