    Sargent 8840E 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

    1) Will the Sargent 8840 rim exit device let people back in from the outside?
    No. The 8840 is the exit-only configuration of the Sargent 8800 Series, with freewheeling dummy trim. The outside lever spins freely at all times and never retracts the latch, so the door is secure from outside and free egress from inside. If you need the lever to pull the latch with a key, or a night latch function, the 8840 is the wrong number in the series to order.
    2) Is the Sargent 8840 fire rated for a labeled opening?
    Yes. The 8840 wide stile rim device is UL10C Fire Listed and UL305 Panic Listed, and carries ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1. That covers both a labeled fire door and a straight panic opening. Note that a fire-rated exit device is never field-dogged, so plan on the latch being live at all times on a labeled door.
    3) Do I have to specify handing when ordering a Sargent 8840?
    Only if you're taking lever trim. The device itself doesn't need it, but any ET lever trim option does, and you specify RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse). Exit devices always swing out, so the handing is always a reverse bevel call. Get it backwards and the lever points the wrong way on the door.
    4) The door is a narrow stile aluminum storefront - what rim exit device should be used instead of the Sargent 8840?
    The 8840 is a wide stile device, so a narrow stile aluminum opening needs a narrow stile rim device. Options in the same Grade 1 class include the Falcon 19-R exit only at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors, the TownSteel ED3700 at 36 inches, and the Adams Rite 8800 Series at 30 inches for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors. For a longer narrow stile opening the Falcon 1590EO covers 42 inches.
    5) Which rim exit devices look like the Sargent 8840 but are not a direct substitute?
    Several rim bars in the same size range work differently. The SDC MSB550 at 36 inches is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC SureExit PSB560 at 36 inches is a pressure sense bar - neither is a latching rim device. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar. The Hager 4501 at 36 inches is a concealed vertical rod device, not rim, so it requires top and bottom rod preparation. The Sargent 8840 is a rim device with single point latching.
    6) What trim options can I get on a Sargent 8840 exit device?
    Eight ET lever designs (A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W levers), or you can order the device bare with no trim at all. Because the 8840 is the freewheeling dummy function, whichever lever you pick is a pull only, it will not operate the latch. Choose the lever design to match the other levers in the building rather than for function.
    7) Does the Sargent 8840 need a key or cylinder ordered with it?
    No cylinder required. The 8840 is a non-keyed device with dummy trim, so there is no key function to cylinder and nothing to key into your existing system. That simplifies a stairwell or rear exit where you only want people going one direction. If the opening does need keyed entry from outside, you need a different function in the 8800 Series, not this one.
    8) If a facility is standardizing on one wide stile rim exit device, what are the Grade 1 alternatives to the Sargent 8840?
    Wide stile Grade 1 rim devices that can carry a standard across a building include the Corbin Russwin ED2200 at 36 inches, exit only; the Corbin Russwin ED5200 at 36 inches, which accepts trim; the TownSteel ED1100 at 36 inches, heavy duty; the TownSteel ED9700 at 36 inches, heavy duty; the DORMA 8300 Series wide stile panic rim device; the Detex 10 Advantex at 36 inches, extra heavy duty; and the Imperial USA ED-501 at 36 inches. The Sargent 8840 spans 32 through 48 inch lengths, which matters if the openings in the facility are not all the same width.
    9) What wide stile rim exit devices compare to the Sargent 8840 for a 48 inch opening?
    The Sargent 8840 is offered in a 48 inch device length. Comparable 48 inch wide stile devices include the Dormakaba DORMA 9300 Series exit only, Grade 1 heavy duty, for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors; the Corbin Russwin ED3200, a Grade 1 crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors; and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar device, exit only. The Marks USA M9900F at 48 inches is fire rated and exit only. The 9300 and ED3200 use a crossbar or push rail rather than the 8840 push pad, so confirm which the drawing calls for.
    10) What is a simpler wide stile rim exit device than the Sargent 8840 for a low traffic interior door?
    Where the Grade 1 chassis is more than the opening needs, the Cal-Royal 5000 at 36 inches is a Grade 2 heavy duty touch bar rim device and the Cal-Royal 5500 at 48 inches is a Grade 2 heavy duty push bar device. The Design Hardware 2000R at 33 inches is a standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging. The Sargent 8840 carries a Grade 1 rating, so on a fire door or a code-driven spec the Grade 1 devices remain the ones to quote.
    11) What is the difference between the Sargent 8840 and the Detex Advantex 00 Series dummy exit device?
    Both are dummy function wide stile devices. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a super heavy duty wide stile dummy exit device, Grade 1. The Sargent 8840 is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device with dummy function delivered through freewheeling ET trim, and it is offered in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch lengths across twelve finishes including 32D satin stainless steel and BSP black suede powder coat. Match the dummy to whatever active device is on the paired leaf so the two read the same.
    12) The opening needs an electrified rim exit device - how does that compare to the Sargent 8840?
    The Sargent 8840 takes electric options at order time including 56 remote dogging and latch retraction, 58 electric dogging, and 53 latchbolt monitor switch. If a factory electrified device is preferred instead, the SDC Spectra S6136 at 36 inches is an electrified architectural rim device with a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, and the Dormakaba E2103 at 36 inches is an electrified rim device supplied with 4908A classroom trim. The SDC and Dormakaba units arrive electrified as built rather than as an option on a mechanical chassis.
    13) What finishes does the Sargent 8840 come in to match the rest of my building?
    Twelve finishes across the 8840: bright brass (03), satin brass (04), bright bronze (09), satin bronze (10), dark oxidized satin bronze in oil rubbed (10B), 10BE and clear coated 10BL, dark statuary bronze lacquered (20D), bright stainless (32), satin stainless (32D), plus black suede powder coat (BSP) and white suede powder coat (WSP). For a commercial building standardizing on one look, 32D satin stainless is the usual match to the rest of the door hardware.
    14) Is the Sargent 8840 heavy enough for a high traffic entrance in a school or hospital?
    Grade 1 is the top ANSI/BHMA durability tier for exit hardware, and the 8840 carries ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 as a commercial-rated device. That is the level specified for high traffic institutional openings, schools, healthcare, government, and multi-tenant residential. If you're standardizing a facility, the same 8800 Series covers other functions, so the finish and lever design carry across the building.
