    Sargent 8846E 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

    1) Will the Sargent 8846 rim exit device work on a wood door?
    No. The 8846 is not rated for wood door use, so on a wood fire door or a wood-core opening you need a device that is. Among rim devices, the Adams Rite 3700 Series is fire rated and wood door compatible, and the Adams Rite 8700 Series is wood door compatible without a fire rating. Both of those are narrow stile, so they suit an aluminum-style stile rather than a full flush wood door. Specify the device against the door leaf you actually have before ordering.
    2) Is the Sargent 8846 fire rated and panic listed?
    Both. The 8846 carries UL10C Fire and UL305 Panic listings, and it is ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1. That combination is what a fire rated stair or corridor opening needs, and it is the pairing most rim devices we carry do not have. Note that if you are using it on a pair, the mullion must also be fire rated, and the device is not approved for wood doors.
    3) What does the storeroom function do on the Sargent 8846 outside trim?
    Storeroom means the outside lever is always fixed and never retracts the latch. You present a key to get in, and the door relocks behind you every time. There is no way to leave it unlocked by accident, which is why it is the standard function for mechanical rooms, IT closets, stock rooms, and any exterior door you do not want held unsecured. Egress is unaffected, push the pad from inside and you are out. The trim on the 8846 is freewheeling, so the outside lever spins rather than binding when someone forces it, which keeps the lever and spindle intact after a break-in attempt.
    4) What device length do I order for a 36 inch door, and what if the door is wider?
    Device length follows the door width. The 8846 comes in 32, 36, 42, and 48 inch rail lengths. Measure the actual leaf width and take the length that covers it, a 36 inch leaf takes the 36 inch device, and a 4 foot leaf takes the 48 inch. On an alarmed unit the door has to be at least 36 inches wide, the AL option states that minimum outright, so a 32 inch device will not work with the alarm.
    5) Do I have to specify handing on the Sargent 8846?
    Only if you take lever trim. Order the ET trim and you also pick RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse). Stand outside the opening, if the hinges are on your right and the door pulls toward you it is right hand reverse. Exit doors are reverse bevel by definition, which is why both handing choices are the reverse forms. Order it as exit device only, with no trim, and there is no handing to call out.
    6) Can the Sargent 8846 be tied into an access control system, and what happens when power drops?
    Yes, and the electric option decides how. The 8846 offers 56 remote dogging / latch retraction, which pulls the latch on a signal so a card reader or a schedule can leave the door on free entry, and 58 electric dogging, which holds the pushpad depressed electrically. 53 gives a latchbolt monitor switch and 55 a signal switch in the rail if you only need to report door status back to the panel, and 54 puts a micro switch inside the ET control for request to exit. 59 is the Electroguard option and AL adds a local alarm. Power comes in at 120VAC, 24VAC/DC, or 12VDC, so match the option to the supply you already have on the door. Egress is mechanical either way, pushing the pad always opens the door regardless of the electrical state.
    7) Is the Sargent 8846 a wide stile or narrow stile device, and how do I tell which my door needs?
    Wide stile. The 8846 is built for standard width stile applications on metal doors, which is what a hollow metal or a full flush door gives you. Aluminum storefront doors typically have a narrow vertical stile and will not take a wide stile pushpad chassis. If that is your opening, the narrow stile rim devices we carry include the Corbin Russwin ED4200, the Falcon 19-R, the TownSteel ED3700, and the Adams Rite 8800 Series. Measure the stile face on the lock edge before you commit either way.
    8) What is the closest Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device to the Sargent 8846 if I need lever trim rather than exit only?
    The Sargent 8846 is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device offered with ET lever trim in A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W lever styles. Among comparable wide stile rim devices, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device that accepts trim, and the Dormakaba E2103 with 4908A trim is an electrified 36 inch rim device supplied with classroom function trim. The Corbin Russwin ED2200, ED3200, TownSteel ED1100 and Von Duprin 22-3FT are all Grade 1 wide stile rim devices configured exit only, so they would need trim addressed separately.
    9) The opening is a narrow stile aluminum storefront door - what rim device should I use instead of the Sargent 8846?
    The Sargent 8846 is built for wide stile applications, so a narrow stile aluminum door calls for a narrow stile rim device. Grade 1 narrow stile options include the Adams Rite 8800 Series, which lists a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, the Corbin Russwin ED4200, the Falcon 19-R at 36 inches, the Falcon 1590EO at 42 inches, the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 at 36 inches, and the Detex 40 Advantex, which is an extra heavy duty narrow stile device.
    10) Is the Adams Rite 8800 Series a substitute for the Sargent 8846 since both are 8800 series?
    They share a series number and nothing else. The Sargent 8846 belongs to the Sargent 8800 Series and is a wide stile rim device; the Adams Rite 8800 Series 30 inch is a narrow stile rim device with starwheel interlocking, not fire rated, listing a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. Ordering by series number alone across the two brands will put the wrong stile type on the door.
    11) Can I use an electrified exit bar like the Securitron EMB or SDC SureExit in place of the Sargent 8846?
    They serve different jobs. The Sargent 8846 is a mechanical single point rim latching device with Grade 1 certification and UL10C fire and UL305 panic listings, available with electric options such as latchbolt monitoring, electric dogging and remote latch retraction. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar listing a 2-1/4 inch door thickness, the SDC PSB560 SureExit is a 36 inch pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology, and the SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock. Those bars signal or release a separate locking device rather than latching the door themselves, and none of the three is fire rated.
    12) What is the difference between the Sargent 8846 storeroom function and an exit only rim device?
    The Sargent 8846 is a storeroom function device with freewheeling ET trim, so outside access is controlled by key while egress stays free. Exit only rim devices have no outside trim at all: the Corbin Russwin ED2200 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile, the Falcon 19-R 36 inch narrow stile, the Imperial USA ED-501 Grade 1 36 inch wide stile, the Marks USA M9900 36 inch, the Orca OED55 36 inch, and the Detex V4003A wide stile device are all configured as exit only or device only. Choose one of those only where nobody needs to get back in through that door.
    13) Is a concealed vertical rod device an alternative to the Sargent 8846 rim device?
    They latch differently. The Sargent 8846 is a single point rim latching device that catches a surface strike on the frame head, and on pairs it works against a removable mullion such as the Sargent 980 or the fire rated 12-980. The Hager 4501 is a Grade 1 36 inch concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad and the Hager 4601 is the narrow stile concealed vertical rod version; both latch top and bottom into the frame and floor rather than into a strike or mullion, which changes the door prep entirely.
    14) Which lever style do I pick on the Sargent 8846 ET trim?
    There are eight ET lever designs on the 8846: A, B, E, F, J, L, P, and W. They are shape choices, not function choices, all of them give the same storeroom operation. Pick the one that matches the levers already hanging on the rest of the building so the exit doors do not read as a different product line. If the door is exit only with no outside operation at all, order it with no trim.
    15) Can you dog the Sargent 8846 open during business hours?
    Not mechanically on a fire rated unit, and that is a code matter rather than a product limitation. Fire doors have to latch, so mechanical dogging is not permitted on them. Where you want the door on free entry during the day, use the electrical route instead: option 58 electric dogging or option 56 remote dogging with latch retraction, both of which release on loss of power so the door relatches on a fire alarm. If your opening is not a fire door and you want simple hex key dogging, the Design Hardware 1000R heavy duty rim device and the Stanley QED211 both have hex key dogging.
    16) What is a lighter duty alternative to the Sargent 8846 for a low traffic back door?
    The Sargent 8846 is an ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 device intended for high traffic commercial openings. Where a lighter chassis suits the opening, the Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch wide rim device with a touch bar on a Grade 2 chassis and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch push bar rim device, also Grade 2. The Design Hardware 2000R is a 33 inch standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging, and the Hager 4701 is a 36 inch standard duty rim device carrying Grade 1 BHMA certification. None of these are fire rated, so they suit non-rated openings only.
    17) Which alternatives to the Sargent 8846 cover a 48 inch door opening?
    The Sargent 8846 comes in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch sizes. Other rim devices sized for a 48 inch opening include the Corbin Russwin ED3200 Grade 1 wide stile crossbar device, the Dormakaba 9300 Series wide stile device listing a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, the Cal-Royal 5500 push bar and A9820 exit only devices, the CRL Jackson 1095 crossbar, the Marks USA M9900F fire rated exit only device, and the Dexter ED1000-R-EO in the 4FT version.
    18) What wide stile rim device is rated above Grade 1 heavy duty for an abusive opening compared with the Sargent 8846?
    The Sargent 8846 is ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 certified for high traffic commercial use. Where the opening takes harder abuse, the Detex 10 Advantex 36 inch wide stile device is rated extra heavy duty at Grade 1, and the Detex 40 Advantex narrow stile device carries the same extra heavy duty rating. Note the Detex 10 is not fire rated, so it does not cover a rated opening.
    19) I need a matching inactive leaf device to pair with a Sargent 8846 - what is available?
    The Sargent 8846 is a functioning rim latching device, so it is not the part for a leaf that only needs the appearance of exit hardware. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a super heavy duty dummy exit device with a wide stile design and Grade 1 rating, which is the type of unit used where a matching push rail is wanted without a latch.
    20) What non-handed rim exit device can I standardize on instead of specifying handing like the Sargent 8846 lever trim?
    The Sargent 8846 requires right hand reverse or left hand reverse handing to be specified when ET lever trim is selected. Devices that avoid that step include the BEST Precision 5101 Series, a non-handed universal design rim device, the BEST 2401 Series narrow stile exit only non-handed device, the Von Duprin 22-3FT 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile pushpad device listed as non-handed, and the CRL Jackson 1295 Series non-handed push pad wide stile device.
    21) Which finish on the Sargent 8846 will match the rest of the hardware in my building?
    Twelve finishes are offered on the 8846: 03 bright brass and 04 satin brass, both clear coated; 09 bright bronze and 10 satin bronze, clear coated; 10B dark oxidized satin bronze oil rubbed, plus 10BE and 10BL variants of that dark bronze; 20D dark statuary bronze lacquered; 32 bright stainless and 32D satin stainless; and BSP black or WSP white suede powder coat. For a commercial building standardizing across openings, 32D satin stainless is the common institutional match. The powder coats are the ones to take when the device has to disappear against a painted dark or white door.
    22) Can I standardize the Sargent 8846 across a building where some doors need outside entry and some do not?
    Yes, and that is a reasonable way to spec a facility. The 8846 is ordered either with ET lever trim, in eight lever designs, or as exit device only with no outside operation. Same 8800 Series rail, same pushpad, same finish across every opening, so the doors read identically and your maintenance staff stocks one set of parts. Give the storerooms and exterior entries lever trim in storeroom function so a key is always required, and leave the pure egress doors as device only.
