    Sargent 8906E 10BE – Frequently Asked Questions

    1) What does the storeroom function do on a Sargent 8906 exit device?
    Outside lever is always locked on the 8906, so nobody gets in from the corridor side without a key or a valid credential. Push the pad from inside and you're out immediately, every time, regardless of the lock state. That's the standard setup for stock rooms, mechanical rooms, IT closets, and any exterior door that has to stay secure but can never trap anyone inside.
    2) Can I use a Sargent 8906 on a 3 hour fire rated door?
    Yes. The 8906 is UL-cUL fire rated up to 3 hours, so it can go on a fire door assembly rated up to that level. Note that on a fire rated opening the device cannot be dogged down, so the mechanical dogging option is off the table there; use one of the electric options if you need controlled hold-open behavior tied to the fire alarm.
    3) Do I have to specify handing on a Sargent 8906 mortise exit device?
    Yes, handing is required and it is not field reversible on the order form. The 8906 is built either RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse). Stand outside the door on the pull side: if the hinges are on your right and the door swings away from you, it is RHR. Getting this wrong means the mortise case latch faces the wrong way and the device is a return. If you need a non-handed device instead, the Von Duprin 9875 and 8875 wide stile mortise crossbar devices are non-handed.
    4) Does the Sargent 8906 come with the outside lever trim or do I order it separately?
    Trim is a separate selection. You can order the 8906 as device only, or with ET trim in eight lever designs: A, B, E, F, J, L, P, and W. Pick the lever to match the rest of the building's hardware. If you are only replacing the device and reusing existing ET trim, order device only.
    5) Can I use the Sargent 8906 on a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
    No. The Sargent 8906 is a wide stile mortise exit device and needs a door with wide stile dimensions. For a narrow stile aluminum door, the Adams Rite 8400 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile mortise exit device made for aluminum doors, and the Von Duprin 5575-3ft is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar mortise device for 1-3/4 inch doors, field reversible. Neither the 8400 nor the 5575 carries a fire rating, so on a fire-rated narrow stile opening confirm the assembly requirement before specifying.
    6) What is the closest wide stile mortise exit device to the Sargent 8906 if Sargent is not available?
    The Corbin Russwin ED5600AL is the nearest wide stile mortise exit device, Grade 1 and 3 hour fire rated, and it takes passage or classroom lever trim (trim not included). The Sargent 8906 is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise device with storeroom function, where the outside lever stays locked and the inside lever is always free for egress. If the opening needs the outside lever permanently locked, specify that function on the Corbin Russwin trim rather than assuming the ED5600AL matches out of the box, since it is catalogued with passage or classroom trim. The 8906 fits 1-3/4 inch doors in the same range as the ED5600AL.
    7) Which mortise exit device should I use on a fire-rated wood door instead of the Sargent 8906?
    The Adams Rite 3300 Series is a fire-rated Grade 1 wide stile mortise exit device built for wood and hollow metal doors, which makes it the direct pick when the opening is a fire-rated wood door. Several wide stile mortise devices in the same class are not wood door compatible, including the Von Duprin 9875, the Von Duprin 8875 and the Detex 30 Series Advantex, so those are ruled out on a wood leaf. The Sargent 8906 is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise device with UL-cUL fire rating up to 3 hours.
    8) Can I add the alarm option to a Sargent 8906 on a 32 inch door?
    No. The AL alarmed option requires a 36 inch minimum door width, so a 32 inch leaf cannot take it. If you need local alarm on a narrower opening you will have to handle it with a separate door position or latchbolt monitor tied to the panel; the 53 latchbolt monitor switch and 55 signal switch in the rail carry no width restriction of their own.
    9) What is the 24VAC/DC on the Sargent 8906 for and do I need a power supply?
    The 24VAC/DC rating covers the electrified options on the device, so it will run off either AC or DC at 24 volts, which is what most access control power supplies put out. You do need a power supply and a wire path to the door (electric hinge or power transfer) for any of the electrified options. Confirm the supply's current capacity before you commit, and pull power during install.
    10) Should I use a mortise exit device or a rim device on my opening?
    A mortise exit device puts the lock case inside a pocket cut into the door edge and latches into the jamb, so it needs the door prepped for a mortise. It gives you a concealed, cleaner install and a strong single point latch. A rim device surface mounts and needs only a strike on the frame, so it is faster to retrofit on a door that is not already mortise prepped. Choose the 8906 when the door is prepped for mortise or you are specifying new doors and want the latch buried in the edge. If the door already has a rim exit device and no mortise pocket, converting means new door prep.
    11) What are the alternatives to the Sargent 8906 if I need a wide stile mortise exit device from another brand?
    Several wide stile Grade 1 mortise devices are options. The Corbin Russwin ED5600AL is a 3 hour fire rated wide stile mortise device for 1-3/4 inch doors, sold exit only or for passage or classroom lever trim. The Adams Rite 3300 Series is fire rated wide stile for wood and hollow metal. The Falcon 25-M-EO is wide stile exit only for 1-3/4 inch doors. Detex 30 Series Advantex is wide stile Grade 1 but not for wood doors. Where the 8906 stands apart is that it ships with storeroom function trim and factory electric options at 24VAC/DC; most of those peers are exit only or need trim specified separately.
    12) I need a mortise exit device on a wood door. Which ones work?
    Not every wide stile mortise device is rated for wood. The Adams Rite 3300 Series and 8300 Series are both listed for wood and hollow metal doors. The Detex 30 Series, Von Duprin 8875, and Von Duprin 9875 are not wood door compatible. Check the door leaf material before you order, because a device meant only for hollow metal will not have the right through-bolt pattern for a wood leaf.
    13) Is the Sargent 8906 rated for a high traffic entrance?
    Grade 1 is the top ANSI/BHMA duty level for exit devices, which is what you want on a main entrance, a school corridor, or a hospital door cycling hundreds of times a day. The 8906 is Grade 1 and built commercial, with modular construction so wear parts get replaced rather than the whole device. Every peer wide stile mortise device worth comparing it to is also Grade 1, so on a busy opening the deciding factors are function, fire rating, and electric options rather than duty grade.
    14) I only need exit function with no outside trim - what is a simpler alternative to the Sargent 8906?
    For an exit only opening with no outside lever, the Falcon 25-M-EO is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise exit device built as exit only for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the BEST Precision 2301 Series is an exit only mortise device with heavy wrought construction. The Detex 30 Series Advantex is also a Grade 1 wide stile device only, exit only. The Sargent 8906 is a storeroom function device where the outside lever is always locked, and it can be ordered with ET trim in A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W lever or as exit device only with no trim.
    15) I need electric latch retraction on a mortise exit device - do the comparable devices offer it?
    The Sargent 8906 runs on 24VAC/DC and is ordered with electric options including 56 remote dogging and latch retraction, 58 electric dogging, 59 Electroguard, AL alarmed with a 36 inch minimum door width, 53 latchbolt monitor switch, 54 internal micro switch in ET control, and 55 signal switch in rail. Among the wide stile mortise comparables, the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL, Falcon 25-M-EO, BEST Precision 2301, Detex 30 Series and the Von Duprin 9875, 8875 and 9475/9575 are catalogued as mechanical devices, so if the opening is on access control, confirm the electrified variant of those separately rather than substituting the base device for the 8906.
    16) Can I match the Sargent 8906 to the bronze and stainless hardware already in my building?
    Twelve finishes cover most standardization jobs: bright brass (03), satin brass (04), bright bronze (09), satin bronze (10), dark oxidized satin bronze in oil rubbed (10B), plain (10BE) and clear coated (10BL), dark statuary bronze lacquered (20D), bright stainless (32), satin stainless (32D), plus black suede (BSP) and white suede (WSP) powder coat. Satin stainless 32D is the usual commercial default and the safest match for existing institutional hardware. The powder coats are the ones to look at if you are matching painted frames rather than metal trim.
    17) What is the difference between a crossbar mortise exit device and the Sargent 8906 push rail device?
    The Von Duprin 8875-3FT is a wide stile crossbar mortise exit device, 36 inch, Grade 1, non-handed, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and it is not wood door compatible or fire rated. Crossbar devices actuate on a horizontal bar rather than a push pad, which changes the look and the projection off the face of the door. The Von Duprin 9475/9575 Impact Series is a wide stile mortise device with a recessed push pad, Grade 1, not fire rated. The Sargent 8906 is a wide stile mortise device offered in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch sizes and must be ordered as RHR or LHR, where both Von Duprin crossbar and the 8875 are non-handed.
