Sargent 97-3230 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Sargent 97-3230 cylinder dogging assembly actually do on an exit device?
It is the mechanism that lets a key hold the latchbolt retracted, so the door pushes open freely without anyone hitting the push bar. On a busy opening that is how you keep a door on free passage during business hours and then key it back to latching at close. The 97-3230 is sold as a replacement assembly for compatible Sargent exit devices, so it restores that key-operated dogging function on a device where the original mechanism is worn or damaged.
2) My exit device won't stay dogged anymore. Is replacing the dogging assembly the fix?
That is exactly what the 97-3230 is for. It replaces a worn or damaged dogging mechanism and returns the device to manufacturer-specified dogging operation, rather than requiring a whole new exit device. If the push bar and latch still work normally and the only failure is the dog not holding, the assembly is the part to change out. It is a factory-matched assembly, so the work is straightforward for a locksmith or a maintenance tech who has done exit device covers before.
3) Should I choose cylinder dogging or hex-key dogging for my exit devices?
Cylinder dogging, which is what the 97-3230 provides, is dogged and undogged with a key cylinder, so only staff carrying the right key can put a door on free passage. Hex-key dogging uses an Allen wrench instead, which is cheaper but means anyone with a common hex key can dog the door. Facilities that want dogging under key control, or that key it into an existing system, go cylinder. One thing to note: fire rated exit devices are not permitted to have mechanical dogging of either kind, so a dogging assembly belongs only on a non-rated opening.
4) Do I get a keyed cylinder with the Sargent 97-3230, or do I order that separately?
What the 97-3230 covers is the dogging assembly itself, the mechanism inside the device that the cylinder turns to hold the latch retracted. The mortise cylinder that operates it is a separate keying decision, because it has to match the keyway and keying system already running in your building. If you are standardizing a facility, specify the cylinder in your existing keyway with the cam the device calls for so the dogging key works off the same system as the rest of the doors.
5) Is this a commercial-grade part or something for residential doors?
Strictly commercial. Sargent catalogues the 97-3230 as commercial door hardware, and cylinder dogging itself is a commercial exit device feature you find on office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential corridors and municipal buildings. A residential door with a knob or deadbolt has nothing for this assembly to go into.
