Sargent 980 GRAY 86 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Should I use a removable mullion or vertical rod exit devices on my pair of doors?
A removable mullion with rim devices, like the Sargent 980, puts the latching hardware in the middle of the opening and keeps the door leaves simple, with no rods on the leaf face and no bottom latch to catch dirt or get kicked out of adjustment. Downside is the mullion is physically in the opening until somebody pulls it, so moving carts or furniture means taking it out. Vertical rod devices leave the opening completely clear all the time but put rods and top and bottom latches on each leaf, which is more to maintain. High traffic corridors and openings that rarely need full width usually get the mullion; openings that move equipment daily usually get vertical rods.
2) What is an equivalent removable mullion to the Sargent 980 from another manufacturer?
The Stanley Security QRM111 is a Grade 1 mullion from the QRM100 series and is the closest cross-brand counterpart to the Sargent 980, which is also a Grade 1 rated removable mullion. Both are Grade 1 commercial mullions for double-door openings. Where they differ is what ships in the box: the Sargent 980 is T-shape extruded aluminum with a 2 1/2 inch profile and comes in a gray prime coat ready for on-site painting, in 86 inch and 120 inch lengths. If your specification calls out a profile dimension or a painted finish match to existing hardware, confirm the Stanley profile against the drawing before you cross it, because the 980's 2 1/2 inch T-shape and primer finish are the values you would be substituting away from.
3) I need a mullion for an opening taller than 86 inches - what should I order instead?
Order the 120 inch Sargent 980 rather than the 86 inch. Both are the same T-shape extruded aluminum removable mullion in a 2 1/2 inch profile with a gray prime coat, and both carry the Grade 1 rating and ULC listing; length is the only thing that changes between them. The Sargent 980 accommodates frame heights up to 120 inches, so a tall opening does not require moving to a different product family. Cross-brand alternates such as the Stanley Security QRM111 and QRM311 are Grade 1 mullions as well, but for a nonstandard height the length option on the 980 itself is the direct answer.
4) Is the Sargent 980 mullion fire rated?
The 980 is ULC Listed and carries an ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 rating. Grade 1 is the highest commercial durability grade, which is what a spec on an institutional or high traffic opening normally calls for. If your opening is a fire rated pair, confirm the mullion length and the exit devices on the leaves are part of the same listed assembly on the door label.
5) What finish does the Sargent 980 mullion ship in, and can I paint it to match my frames?
It ships in a gray prime coat, and that is the only finish offered. The primer is meant to be painted on site, so you can match it to the frame color or the rest of the hardware. If you want a factory architectural finish out of the box, this is not that part.
6) What is the profile size of the Sargent 980 mullion, and how much of the opening does it take up?
The 980 is a T-shape extruded aluminum section with a 2 1/2 inch profile. That is the width sitting in the middle of the opening, so a pair with the mullion in place loses roughly that much clear width until it is removed. Aluminum keeps the weight down for a part someone has to lift in and out.
7) What prep does the frame need before installing a Sargent 980 mullion?
The mullion anchors at the header and at the floor, so both need to be drilled and, where called for, routed to Sargent's template before the mullion goes in. The header has to be structurally capable of carrying the top anchor, which matters most on aluminum storefront and light frames. Once it is anchored, align the mullion to the leaves, check both doors swing and latch cleanly through the full arc, then cycle the removal mechanism to confirm it releases and reseats.
8) What else does ZenSupply carry if the Sargent 980 mullion is not what I need?
Stanley Security makes Grade 1 mullions in two families we stock: the QRM111 from the QRM100 Series and the QRM311 from the QRM300 Series. Both are Grade 1 mullion hardware like the Sargent. The practical decider is usually whose exit devices are already on the openings, since mullion keepers and device strikes are matched to the device line. If your building is standardized on Sargent rim devices, stay with the 980.
9) What is the difference between the Stanley QRM111 and QRM311 mullions when cross-referencing a Sargent 980?
The two Stanley units are different series: the QRM111 is a Grade 1 mullion in the QRM100 series and the QRM311 is a Grade 1 mullion in the QRM300 series. Both are Grade 1 like the Sargent 980, so a Grade 1 requirement on the door schedule is satisfied by any of the three. Series is the thing to pin down before ordering, because on the Sargent side the equivalent identifier is the 980 series, and a locksmith or integrator cross-referencing by grade alone will end up with the right rating and the wrong part. Match the series called out on the hardware schedule, then confirm the length you need against the opening: the Sargent 980 is stocked at 86 inches and 120 inches.
10) Is the Sargent 980 mullion rated for commercial use in schools and hospitals?
It is a commercial product, Grade 1 rated and ULC Listed, and it gets specified in offices, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential, and government buildings. For a facility standardizing across many pairs, the useful part is that the 980 comes in only one finish, gray prime, so every mullion in the building can be painted to one color.
