    Sargent 8913E 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

    1) Will the Sargent 8913 mortise exit device work on a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
    No. The 8913 is a wide stile device, so it needs the wider stile face of a hollow metal or wood door rather than a narrow aluminum storefront rail. For a narrow stile aluminum opening, look at the Adams Rite 8400 Series life-safety narrow stile mortise exit device or the Von Duprin 5575 narrow stile crossbar mortise device. Both are narrow stile mortise devices, so the mortise case pocket in the stile is the prep either way.
    2) What does classroom function mean on the Sargent 8913 exit device?
    Classroom function means the outside lever is locked or unlocked by key, and once unlocked the lever gives free entry until it is keyed back. The push pad always releases the latch for egress regardless of the outside state. That is the function schools specify so a teacher can secure the door from the corridor side without ever affecting the way out.
    3) Do I have to specify handing when ordering a Sargent 8913?
    Yes, and it is not field reversible on the order form. The 8913 is built either RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse), so establish the hand at the opening before you order. Exit devices are always reverse bevel because the door swings out, so stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right it is RHR. If you need a device that avoids the handing call entirely, the Von Duprin 8875 and 9875 wide stile mortise devices are non-handed.
    4) Does the Sargent 8913 come with an outside lever, or do I order trim separately?
    Trim is a line item you choose. The 8913 is ordered either as device only with no outside trim, or with ET trim in A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W lever designs. If you skip the trim you get an exit only door, no outside operation at all, which defeats the point of the classroom function. Order the lever with it.
    5) What is the closest wide stile mortise exit device to the Sargent 8913 that takes classroom lever trim?
    The Corbin Russwin ED5600AL is the nearest match. Both are Grade 1 wide stile mortise exit devices, and the ED5600AL is built to accept passage or classroom lever trim, matching the classroom function the Sargent 8913 provides. The ED5600AL is a 3 hour fire rated device sized for 1-3/4 inch doors, and its lever trim is ordered separately, where the 8913 can be ordered with ET trim in A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W lever styles or as device only.
    6) I need a fire rated mortise exit device on a wood door. Does the Sargent 8913 work, or is there a better option?
    For a wood door needing a fire rated mortise device, the Adams Rite 3300 Series is the direct answer: it is a Grade 1 wide stile fire rated mortise exit device built for wood and hollow metal doors. The Corbin Russwin ED5600AL is another Grade 1 wide stile option with a 3 hour fire rating that accepts classroom or passage lever trim. Note that the Detex 30 Series, Von Duprin 8875 and Von Duprin 9875 are all wide stile Grade 1 mortise devices that are not wood door compatible.
    7) If the opening only needs free egress and no outside lever, what is a simpler alternative to the Sargent 8913?
    The 8913 is a classroom function device, which means it is paired with outside lever trim for controlled access. If the opening only needs push-to-exit with no outside operation, an exit only device is simpler: the Falcon 25-M-EO is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise exit device in exit only configuration for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Detex 30 Series Advantex is a Grade 1 wide stile device only exit only device, and the BEST Precision 2301 is a mortise exit device, exit only, with heavy wrought construction. The 8913 can also be ordered with the trim option set to device only.
    8) What size Sargent 8913 do I need for a 36 inch classroom door?
    The 8913 comes in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch device lengths, and the convention is to order the device length that matches the door width, so a 36 inch door takes the 36 inch device. Pick the size at or just under the door width; an oversize rail will not fit between the stiles.
    9) Is the Sargent 8913 exit device Grade 1?
    Grade 1 under ANSI/BHMA, which is the top commercial durability tier for cycle and strength testing and the one institutional specs normally call for on classroom and corridor doors. That matters on a school door taking hundreds of operations a day.
    10) Should I use a mortise exit device or a rim device on a classroom door?
    A rim device surface mounts and latches into a strike on the frame stop, so it is the cheaper prep and the usual pick when the door is already hung. The mortise version, like the 8913, puts the lock case inside a pocket cut into the stile, which means less of the device hangs off the door face and the latch is captured in the frame. It also demands a proper mortise prep in the door, so on a retrofit confirm the stile can be cut. Sargent's 8900 platform is also offered in rim, surface vertical rod and concealed vertical rod, so the same function can follow whichever prep the opening supports.
    11) What is the difference between the Sargent 8913 and the Von Duprin 8875 or 9875 mortise exit devices?
    All three are Grade 1 wide stile mortise exit devices. The Von Duprin 8875-3FT is a 36 inch crossbar device and non-handed, and the Von Duprin 9875-3FT is a 3 ft smooth case push pad device, also non-handed; both are listed for 1-3/4 inch doors and are not wood door compatible. The Sargent 8913 is ordered by hand, RHR or LHR, in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch sizes, and carries the classroom function with ET lever trim.
    12) Which wide stile mortise exit device holds up best in a high abuse corridor?
    The Von Duprin 9475/9575 Impact Series is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise lock exit device built with a recessed push pad, which keeps the actuator inside the case in traffic where carts and equipment strike the door. The BEST Precision 2301 is a mortise exit device with heavy wrought construction. The Sargent 8913 is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise device with modular construction and is offered up to 48 inches.
    13) Which comparable mortise exit device supports electric latch retraction or alarmed exit like the Sargent 8913?
    The Sargent 8913 is offered with electric options including AL alarmed on doors 36 inches and wider, 53 latchbolt monitor switch, 56 remote dogging and latch retraction, 58 electric dogging and 59 Electroguard. Among the wide stile Grade 1 peers, the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL and the Falcon 25-M-EO are cataloged as exit only or lever trim devices, and the Detex 30 Series Advantex is a device only exit device, so an opening that needs access control tied into the device is the 8913's case.
    14) Can I match the Sargent 8913 to the stainless hardware already on my school's doors?
    32D satin stainless and 32 bright stainless are both offered, which is what most institutional openings are standardized on. The full run is 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, 32D, plus BSP black and WSP white suede powder coat if you are matching painted frames rather than metal trim.
    15) Is there a push pad or a crossbar on the Sargent 8913?
    Push pad. The 8913 is a touchpad style rail rather than a crossbar. If your building is standardized on crossbar devices and you want the replacement to look the same, the Von Duprin 5575 and 8875 are crossbar mortise devices; the Von Duprin 9475/9575 uses a recessed push pad on wide stile doors.
