    Sargent 8874E 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

    1) What does fail-secure mean on the Sargent 8874, and can people still get out if the power drops?
    Fail secure means the outside trim stays locked when power is lost. Egress is never affected: the pushpad is mechanical, so pushing the bar retracts the latch and opens the door with or without power. That is what makes it appropriate on a required exit. If you need the outside trim to unlock on power failure instead, the 8874 is the wrong function.
    2) Is the Sargent 8874 fire rated, and can I dog the pushpad down?
    Both are the same decision. The 8874 is ordered either Standard or Fire Rated, and the fire rated build comes less dogging, because a labeled opening has to latch every time it closes. If you want to hold the latch retracted during business hours on a non-labeled door, order the Standard rating, or specify the 56 remote dogging / latch retraction or 58 electric dogging option to do it from the access control system.
    3) Does the Sargent 8874 come with a cylinder and outside trim, or do I order those separately?
    No cylinder is included. Outside trim is a separate line on the order: choose ET trim with the A, B, E, F, J, L, P, or W lever design, or order the device on its own with no trim for an exit only opening. Budget a mortise cylinder to suit your keyway and existing keying system on top of the device and trim.
    4) The opening needs a wood door - what rim exit device works there?
    The Sargent 8874 is not rated for wood door use. Among rim devices, the Adams Rite 8700 Series 30 inch narrow stile device is wood door compatible at Grade 1, and the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch is a fire rated narrow stile rim device that is also wood door compatible at Grade 1. Both use starwheel interlocking.
    5) The door is a narrow stile aluminum storefront - can I use the Sargent 8874 on it?
    The 8874 is built for wide stile applications, so a narrow stile aluminum door needs a narrow stile device instead. The Adams Rite 8800 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim device covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors at Grade 1. The Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim, and the Falcon 19-R is a Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile rim device, exit only, for 1-3/4 inch doors.
    6) Is an electrified exit bar like the Securitron EMB or SDC pressure sense bar a substitute for the Sargent 8874?
    They are not the same class of hardware. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors, and the SDC MSB550 is a mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release fitting narrow or wide stile doors - these bars signal or release a separate locking device rather than carrying their own latch. The SDC PSB560 SureExit is likewise a pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology. The Sargent 8874 is a rim exit device with its own single point rim latching, so it secures the door itself and is not interchangeable with a release bar working against a maglock.
    7) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Sargent 8874 electrified wide stile rim exit device?
    For a wide stile electrified rim device, the SDC S6136 Spectra S6000 Series is the nearest peer: it is a 36 inch electrified architectural rim exit device with a 4 inch wide stile and a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness range. The Dormakaba E2103 with 4908A trim is another electrified rim device at 36 inches, supplied in an 08 classroom function. Both are rim-latching electrified devices like the Sargent 8874, which is a wide stile electromechanical rim device carrying Grade 1.
    8) What rim exit device should I use if the opening does not need electrification at all?
    If the door is purely mechanical egress, a non-electrified wide stile rim device covers it. The Von Duprin 22 Series 36 inch pushpad rim device is non-handed, Grade 1, wide stile, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim, and the Corbin Russwin ED2200 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile exit-only rim device. The Sargent 8874 is the electromechanical member of the 8800 Series and is specified when the opening needs powered control.
    9) I need a fire rated rim exit device - which options carry a fire rating?
    The Sargent 8874 is ordered either Standard or Fire Rated (Less Dogging), so the fire configuration is a selection made at order time. Among other rim devices, the Dexter ED1000 Series fire rated rim device is Grade 1 with a fire rating, the Marks USA M9900F is a fire rated 36 inch rim device supplied exit only, the Orca OED85 Series is a fire rated 36 inch rim device, and the Arrow FS1250 is a fire rated 32 inch rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors.
    10) What sizes does the Sargent 8874 exit device come in, and how do I pick one for my door width?
    Four device lengths: 32, 36, 42, and 48 inches. Pick by door leaf width, since the pushpad needs to cover roughly half the leaf on a panic device. One caution on options: the AL alarmed electric option requires a 36 inch minimum door width, so a 32 inch device on a narrow leaf cannot be ordered alarmed.
    11) What voltage does the Sargent 8874 electrified exit device run on?
    12V or 24V is the choice on the order. Confirm your power supply and its current capacity against that before the device is specified, because the coil is not field-convertible between the two on the order form.
    12) Do I have to specify handing on a Sargent 8874, and when does it matter?
    The device itself is non-handed. Handing only comes into play if you order ET lever trim, in which case you specify RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse). Exit devices swing out, so the hand is always a reverse hand.
    13) I want a wide stile rim exit device but I do not need the electrified function. What else could I buy?
    Plenty, if the electric options on the 8874 are more than the opening needs. Mechanical Grade 1 wide stile rim devices ZenSupply carries include the Von Duprin 22 Series (36 inch, non-handed, 1-3/4 inch door), the Corbin Russwin ED5200, the Corbin Russwin ED2200 exit only, the Detex 10 Advantex extra heavy duty, the TownSteel ED1100 and ED9700, and the DORMA 8300. If you do want an electrified wide stile device from another brand, the SDC S6136 Spectra is electrified with a 4 inch wide stile and a 1-3/4 to 2 inch door thickness range.
    14) What is the difference between the Sargent 8874 and a Cal-Royal 5000 or A9800 rim device?
    The Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch wide rim exit device with a touch bar on a Grade 2 chassis, heavy duty, and the Cal-Royal A9800 is a 36 inch exit only rim device also carrying a Grade 2 rating. The Sargent 8874 carries Grade 1 and is an electromechanical device, so the Cal-Royal units are mechanical exit only hardware at a different ANSI grade.
    15) I need a device for a 48 inch door leaf - what covers that width besides the Sargent 8874?
    The 8874 is offered in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch sizes. If you are matching a 48 inch leaf with other hardware, the Dormakaba 9300 Series 48 inch wide stile rim device is Grade 1 heavy duty for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch wide stile crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Marks USA M9900F 48 inch is a fire rated rim device supplied exit only.
    16) Is a concealed vertical rod device an alternative to the Sargent 8874?
    Only if the opening calls for top and bottom latching. The Hager 4501 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad, and the Hager 4601 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device in narrow stile. The Sargent 8874 latches at a single point into a rim strike, so swapping to a vertical rod device changes the door prep and the strike locations entirely; the Hager 4701 Series 36 inch is the rim device in that line if you want to stay with rim latching.
    17) For a high traffic school or stadium exit, what heavier duty rim devices compare to the Sargent 8874?
    The Sargent 8874 is Grade 1 for commercial openings. Where a specifier is looking at duty level rather than grade alone, the Detex 10 Advantex Series 36 inch is an extra heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile rim device, the Detex 40 Advantex is an extra heavy duty Grade 1 narrow stile rim device, and the TownSteel ED9700 36 inch is a heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile rim device.
    18) I want a crossbar or paddle style exit device instead of a push pad - what are my options?
    The Sargent 8874 is a push rail style rim device. If the look or operation you want is different, the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch is a crossbar rim panic device in wide stile, exit only, and the CRL Jackson 1095P is the paddle version of that rim panic device. The Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch wide stile crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Note these are exit only or panic device only, so trim and electrification are handled differently than on the 8874, which is offered with ET lever trim in A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W levers.
    19) Are there non-handed rim exit devices that avoid a handing decision?
    The Sargent 8874 is non-handed, with handing only specified when lever trim is selected as RHR or LHR. The BEST Precision 5101 Series is a non-handed universal design rim exit device, the BEST 2401 Series is a non-handed narrow stile rim device supplied exit only, and the Von Duprin 22 Series 36 inch pushpad rim device is non-handed and Grade 1 in wide stile.
    20) What finishes is the Sargent 8874 available in to match the rest of my building's hardware?
    Twelve: bright and satin brass (03, 04), bright and satin bronze (09, 10), four dark oxidized satin bronze variants (10B oil rubbed, 10BE, 10BL clear coated, 20D dark statuary bronze lacquered), bright and satin stainless (32, 32D), plus black and white suede powder coat (BSP, WSP). For matching existing openings in a commercial building, 32D satin stainless is the usual standard.
    21) What is the difference between the Sargent 8874 and the Dormakaba QED200 or Stanley QED211?
    The Dormakaba QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow exit device supplied as a 36 inch device with a 7 foot rod, and the Stanley Security QED211 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex key dogging. The Sargent 8874 is a wide stile electromechanical rim device, so the stile width and the powered operation are the practical differences to check against your door.
    22) Which rim devices are dummy or non-latching, and would one work where the Sargent 8874 is specified?
    The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a super heavy duty dummy exit device in wide stile, Grade 1. A dummy device matches the appearance of an active device on an inactive leaf but provides no latching, so it cannot stand in for the Sargent 8874 on an opening that needs secured egress hardware. Pair it only on the leaf that does not carry the latch.
