    Sargent 8873E 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

    1) What does fail-safe mean on the Sargent 8873 exit device, and what happens when power drops?
    Fail-safe on the 8873 means the outside trim unlocks when power is removed, so free entry is available during a power loss. Egress from the inside is always mechanical through the push rail, power or no power. If you need the opposite behaviour (trim stays locked on power failure), a fail-safe device is the wrong choice for that opening.
    2) Can the Sargent 8873 go on a wood door?
    No. The 8873 is a metal door device and is not rated for wood door mounting. For a wood door, look at a rim device that carries wood door compatibility, such as the Adams Rite 3700 Series fire-rated rim device or the Adams Rite 8700 Series, both of which are listed as wood door compatible (they are narrow stile designs, so confirm your stile before switching).
    3) What door widths does the Sargent 8873 cover, and which size do I order?
    The 8873 is offered in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch device lengths. Order the length that matches the door leaf width, not the opening width. One caution on options: the AL alarmed option requires a 36 inch minimum door width, so it cannot be combined with the 32 inch device.
    4) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Sargent 8873?
    Only if you are adding lever trim. The device body is non-handed, but ET lever trim is handed and must be called out as RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse). Exit-only, with no trim, needs no handing.
    5) What voltage do I need to run to the Sargent 8873?
    The device is ordered as either 12V or 24V. Size the power supply and wire run to the option you pick, and confirm current draw before you pull wire, especially if you are adding an electric option like 56 latch retraction, which draws considerably more than a monitoring switch.
    6) My door has a narrow stile aluminum frame - what should I order instead of the Sargent 8873?
    The Sargent 8873 is built for wide stile applications, so a narrow stile aluminum door needs a different device. The Adams Rite 8800 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim device covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim. The Falcon 19-R is another Grade 1 narrow stile exit-only option at 36 inches.
    7) What fire rated rim device compares to the fire rated version of the Sargent 8873?
    The Sargent 8873 is offered in a fire rated (less dogging) configuration alongside the standard one. Comparable fire rated rim devices include the Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO Grade 1 fire rated rim device, the Marks USA M9900F in 36 and 48 inch exit-only, the Arrow FS1250 fire rated 32 inch rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Orca OED85 36 inch fire rated rim device. Those peers are mechanical, so an electrified fire opening stays with the 8873.
    8) What is the closest electrified wide stile rim exit device to the Sargent 8873?
    The SDC Spectra S6136 is the nearest match in intent: it is an electrified architectural rim exit device with a 4 inch wide stile and a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, where the Sargent 8873 is an electromechanical wide stile rim device in the 8800 Series. Both are electrified rim devices for wide stile openings, so the choice usually comes down to which trim and switch options the access control design calls for.
    9) If I do not need the electrified function, what mechanical wide stile rim device can I use instead of the Sargent 8873?
    For a purely mechanical opening, the Von Duprin 22-3FT is a 36 inch non-handed Grade 1 wide stile pushpad rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim. Both cover the same wide stile rim latching role as the Sargent 8873 without any voltage or wiring to run.
    10) What vertical rod device should I look at instead of the Sargent 8873 on a pair of doors without a mullion?
    The Sargent 8873 is a single point rim latching device, which on a pair of doors normally means adding a removable mullion such as the Sargent 980 or 12-980. If you cannot use a mullion, a concealed vertical rod device is the alternative: 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 version.
    11) Does the Sargent 8873 come with a cylinder?
    No cylinder is supplied with the 8873. If your trim option or a keyed function needs one, order the rim cylinder separately in a keyway that matches the rest of the building. The device itself is non-handed, so only the lever trim needs handing called out.
    12) What lever trims and finishes can I get on the Sargent 8873 to match other openings?
    ET trim is offered in eight lever designs: A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W. Finishes run to twelve: 03 bright brass, 04 satin brass, 09 bright bronze, 10 satin bronze, 10B oil rubbed dark bronze, 10BE, 10BL, 20D dark statuary bronze, 32 bright stainless, 32D satin stainless, plus BSP black and WSP white suede powder coat. 32D and 10B are the usual choices for matching existing commercial hardware.
    13) Is the Sargent 8873 Grade 1, and how does that compare to cheaper rim devices?
    The 8873 carries ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, the heaviest commercial rating, and is UL305 panic listed. Several lower-cost rim devices in the same shape are Grade 2, including the Cal-Royal 5000 and 5500 heavy duty rim devices. For a school corridor or a high-traffic entry where the spec calls Grade 1, stay with the 8873 or another Grade 1 wide stile device.
    14) Should I use a rim device like the Sargent 8873 or a vertical rod device?
    A rim device latches into a single strike on the frame at the push-pad height, which makes it the simplest and lowest-maintenance choice on a single door or on a pair with a mullion. Vertical rod devices latch at the head and sill instead, which is what you need for a pair with no mullion, but they add rods and top and bottom latches to adjust. Concealed rod versions such as the Hager 4501 keep the rods inside the door for appearance. If a mullion is acceptable on your pair, the 8873 with a Sargent 980 mullion is the less involved install.
    15) What is a simpler exit-only device if I do not need lever trim like the Sargent 8873 offers?
    The Sargent 8873 can be ordered with ET lever trim or as the device only. If the opening never needs outside entry, the Corbin Russwin ED2200 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile exit-only rim device, the TownSteel ED1100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty 36 inch wide stile panic rim device, and the Detex 10 Advantex is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty 36 inch wide stile rim device.
    16) Is the Securitron EMB a substitute for the Sargent 8873?
    They are both electrified exit bars but they solve different problems. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar in the EMB Series built for 2-1/4 inch doors, and the SDC MSB550 is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock. The Sargent 8873 is a Grade 1 rim exit device with its own single point rim latch and ET lever trim options, so if the opening relies on a latch and strike rather than a maglock, the 8873 is the device that does that job.
    17) What is a Grade 1 alternative to the Sargent 8873 for a 48 inch wide opening?
    The Sargent 8873 is offered in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch sizes. If a mechanical 48 inch device will do, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the DORMA 9300A is a Grade 1 heavy duty 48 inch wide stile rim device covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, exit only.
    18) How does the Cal-Royal 5000 compare to the Sargent 8873 for a high traffic entrance?
    The Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch wide rim exit device with a touch bar and a Grade 2 chassis, heavy duty, not fire rated. The Sargent 8873 carries a Grade 1 rating and is offered in a fire rated configuration with electromechanical fail-safe operation, so for a high traffic or fire rated opening the two are not interchangeable. The Cal-Royal 5500 is the 48 inch push bar version of the same Grade 2 family.
    19) Is the Dormakaba E2103 electrified rim device the same thing as the Sargent 8873?
    Both are electrified rim exit devices, but they are configured differently. The Dormakaba E2103 is a 36 inch electrified rim device supplied with 4908A trim in a classroom function. The Sargent 8873 is a fail-safe electromechanical device in the 8800 Series offered in 32 through 48 inch sizes with a choice of ET lever trims and electric options such as latchbolt monitor, signal switch and electric dogging.
    20) Is there a crossbar style device instead of the pushpad style Sargent 8873?
    Yes. The CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48 inch crossbar wide stile rim panic device, exit only, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Sargent 8873 uses a push rail with ET trim options, so the crossbar peers change the appearance and the operation of the exit hardware rather than the latching type.
