    Sargent 8844E 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

    1) What does the nightlatch function on the Sargent 8844 actually do at the door?
    Nightlatch means the outside trim is always locked and the key retracts the latch for entry. The 8844 pairs that function with freewheeling trim, so the lever spins free when locked rather than binding against the chassis, which is what protects the trim from getting snapped off on an abused opening. From the inside, the push rail always releases for free egress. If you need the outside lever to stay unlocked at times, nightlatch is the wrong function for that opening.
    2) Is the Sargent 8844 fire rated for a labeled door?
    It carries a UL10C fire listing along with UL305 panic, and it is ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1. On a labeled opening, remember that a fire exit device cannot be dogged mechanically, and pair it with a fire rated mullion such as the Sargent 12-980 rather than a standard 980.
    3) Does the Sargent 8844 come with the outside trim, or do I order that separately?
    Trim is a selection made with the device. You can take it as exit device only with no outside trim, or with ET trim in A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W lever designs. If you pick a lever, you also have to state handing, RHR or LHR. The device itself is a wide stile rim unit for metal doors.
    4) My opening is a narrow stile aluminum storefront door - what should I use instead of the Sargent 8844?
    The Sargent 8844 is built for wide stile applications, so on a narrow stile aluminum storefront you want a device designed for that profile. Options include the Adams Rite 8800 Series narrow stile rim device, rated Grade 1 and listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 Grade 1 narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon 19-R Series Grade 1 narrow stile exit-only device, and the TownSteel ED3700 Grade 1 narrow stile rim device.
    5) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Sargent 8844 rim exit device with nightlatch trim?
    The Sargent 8844 is a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device with night latch function. The closest cross-brand match on both stile type and function is the Detex V4003A/03AN, a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device with night latch trim. If you only need the device body in a Grade 1 wide stile rim format and will specify trim separately, the Von Duprin 22 Series 36 inch wide stile pushpad rim device and the Corbin Russwin ED5200 wide stile rim device both cover that ground, with the ED5200 listed for 1-3/4 inch doors.
    6) I need a fire rated rim exit device - does the Sargent 8844 work, and what else is fire listed?
    The Sargent 8844 carries UL10C Fire and UL305 Panic listings, so it is suitable for a fire door opening. Other fire rated rim devices include the Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO Grade 1 fire rated rim device, the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch and 48 inch exit-only versions, the Arrow FS1250 fire rated 32 inch rim device, the Orca OED85 Series 36 inch fire rated rim device, and the Adams Rite 3700 Series Grade 1 narrow stile fire rated rim device. Note that several of those are exit-only and would not give you the nightlatch trim function the 8844 provides.
    7) Which rim exit devices look like the Sargent 8844 but will not give me keyed outside entry?
    Several wide stile rim devices resemble the 8844 from the push side but are cataloged as exit only, meaning no outside trim function: the CRL Jackson 1295 Series non-handed pushpad device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the CRL Jackson 1095P paddle device, the Corbin Russwin ED2200 Grade 1 36 inch device, and the Arrow 3880 Series 30 inch wide stile pushpad exit-only bar for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a wide stile dummy device with no latching at all. The Sargent 8844 carries a night latch function with freewheeling trim, which is what gives you key-controlled entry from the outside.
    8) What size Sargent 8844 do I order for a 36 inch door?
    Device length is ordered to the door width. The 8844 comes in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch sizes, so a 36 inch leaf takes the 36 inch device. Order the device size to match the door, not the frame opening.
    9) Is the Sargent 8844 handed?
    Handing comes into play with the trim. If you order any ET lever trim, you specify RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse). Exit devices swing out, so the hand is always a reverse bevel designation. Ordering device only sidesteps the handing call.
    10) Is a rim exit device like the Sargent 8844 the right choice, or do I need vertical rods?
    A rim device latches at one point into a strike on the frame, which is the simplest and quietest arrangement for a single outswing door or for a pair with a mullion. Go to vertical rods when you have a pair and cannot accept a mullion in the opening, because those latch at the head and threshold instead. For concealed rod alternatives we carry the Hager 4501 wide stile and 4601 narrow stile concealed vertical rod devices.
    11) Can I dog down a Sargent 8844 so the door stays push-open during business hours?
    For that you want an electric dogging option, either 58 electric dogging or 56 remote dogging with latch retraction, both of which are available on the 8844. Note that on a fire rated opening mechanical dogging is not permitted, so electric latch retraction tied to the fire alarm is the usual route there.
    12) What is a simpler alternative to the Sargent 8844 if I do not need outside trim at all?
    The 8844 pairs a rim device with freewheeling nightlatch trim for keyed outside access. If the door only needs to push out and nobody enters through it, an exit-only device is the simpler build: the Corbin Russwin ED2200 Grade 1 36 inch wide stile exit-only rim device, the TownSteel ED9700 Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile rim device, the Imperial USA ED-501 Grade 1 36 inch wide stile rim panic device, or the Orca OED55 Series 36 inch exit-only rim device. The Sargent 8844 also configures as device only if you prefer to stay within the 8800 Series.
    13) The Sargent 8844 comes in a 48 inch size - what other 48 inch rim devices are out there for a wide opening?
    The Sargent 8844 is available in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch device lengths. Other 48 inch rim devices include the Corbin Russwin ED3200 Grade 1 crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch wide stile doors, the Dormakaba 9300A Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile exit-only device for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar wide stile panic device, and the Marks USA M9900F 48 inch fire rated exit-only device. The crossbar devices use a horizontal bar rather than a pushpad, which changes the look of the door.
    14) For a high-abuse opening like a school or stadium exit, is there a heavier option than the Sargent 8844?
    The Sargent 8844 is ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 with UL10C Fire and UL305 Panic listings, which is the top performance grade in that standard. If you want a device specifically cataloged above heavy duty, the Detex Advantex 10 Series 36 inch wide stile device and the Detex 40 Advantex narrow stile device are both Grade 1 and listed as extra heavy duty. The Detex 10 is not fire rated, so on a fire door the 8844 remains the applicable choice.
    15) My drawing calls for a concealed vertical rod device, not a rim device like the Sargent 8844 - what fits?
    The Sargent 8844 is a single point rim latching device, which latches into a strike on the frame rather than top and bottom. For a concealed vertical rod opening, the Hager 4501 Series 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with wide stile pushpad matches a wide stile door, and the Hager 4601 Series 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device covers narrow stile. Neither of those is listed as fire rated.
    16) What finishes does the Sargent 8844 exit device come in to match the rest of my openings?
    Twelve finishes: 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 lacquered, 32 bright stainless, 32D satin stainless, plus BSP black and WSP white suede powder coat. For a building standardizing on commercial stainless, 32D is the usual choice.
    17) I want a non-handed rim device so I do not have to specify handing like I do on the Sargent 8844 with lever trim.
    Handing on the Sargent 8844 comes into play when lever trim is specified, with right hand reverse and left hand reverse as the choices. If you would rather avoid that step entirely, the BEST Precision 5101 Series is a non-handed universal rim exit device, the BEST 2401 Series is a non-handed narrow stile exit-only device, the Von Duprin 22 Series 36 inch wide stile pushpad device is non-handed and Grade 1, and the CRL Jackson 1295 Series is a non-handed pushpad rim panic device.
