Sargent 980A 28 86 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does a removable mullion like the Sargent 980A actually do on a pair of doors?
A removable mullion is the vertical post that sits between a pair of doors in a single opening, giving each leaf something to latch into. With the 980A in place, both doors can run rim exit devices instead of vertical rod devices. When you need the full opening clear for moving equipment or furniture, the mullion lifts out, then drops back in. The 980A is the non-lockable, non-electrified version, so it is a straight mechanical post.
2) Is the Sargent 980A mullion Grade 1, and is it fire listed?
It carries an ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 rating, which is the heavy-duty commercial tier and what most institutional specs call for on an exit opening. It is also ULC Listed. The construction is anodized aluminum in a T-shape profile.
3) Should I use a removable mullion or vertical rod exit devices on my pair of doors?
A removable mullion with rim devices is the simpler and lower maintenance route: the hardware sits on the door face, there are no rods to fall out of adjustment, and the 980A pulls out when you need the clear opening. Vertical rod devices are the choice when you cannot have anything standing in the middle of the opening at all, for example a heavily trafficked entry or a corridor where carts move through constantly. If you go with the 980A, plan on rim devices on both leaves.
4) Does the Sargent 980A mullion lock in place or accept an electric option?
No on both counts. The 980A is the non-lockable, non-electrified configuration, so it is held by its top and bottom fittings rather than by a keyed lock, and there is no provision for electrification. If your spec calls for a keyed-removable or electrified mullion, this is not the part.
5) What is a comparable Grade 1 removable mullion to the Sargent 980A?
The Stanley Security QRM111 is a Grade 1 mullion from the QRM100 series, and the Stanley Security QRM311 is a Grade 1 mullion from the QRM300 series. Both carry the same ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 rating the Sargent 980A carries. The 980A is the removable T-shape type in anodized aluminum, supplied in 86 inch standard height with an optional height up to 120 inches, in Satin Aluminum Clear Anodized or 10B Dark Oxidized Satin Bronze. If your pair of doors was templated around Sargent exit device strike locations, staying with the 980A avoids re-prepping the frame.
6) I need a mullion for an opening taller than a standard 86 inch frame - what should I order?
The Sargent 980A is offered in a 120 inch length as well as the standard 86 inch, covering openings up to a 120 inch maximum height, and both lengths are available in Satin Aluminum Clear Anodized and 10B Dark Oxidized Satin Bronze. If you order the 120 inch and the frame is shorter, the mullion is cut to the opening rather than swapped for a different model. The Stanley Security QRM111 and QRM311 are Grade 1 mullions as well, so confirm the frame height they are supplied for before specifying them on a tall opening.
7) What other Grade 1 mullions could I use instead of the Sargent 980A?
ZenSupply carries Stanley Security mullions in the same Grade 1 class: the QRM111 from the QRM100 Series and the QRM311 from the QRM300 Series. Both are standard mullion hardware rather than the T-shape anodized aluminum profile the Sargent 980A uses. If your opening already runs Sargent exit devices, staying with the 980A keeps the finish and profile consistent across the pair.
8) What is the difference between the Stanley QRM111 and QRM311 mullions?
They come from two different Stanley Security mullion families: the QRM111 is part of the QRM100 series and the QRM311 is part of the QRM300 series. Both are Grade 1 rated. Series choice with mullions normally follows the exit device line the mullion is being paired with, so confirm which series matches the devices already on the opening. If the doors carry Sargent exit devices, the Sargent 980A removable T-shape mullion keeps the assembly within one manufacturer's system.
9) If I need the mullion to lock in place rather than be removable, is the Sargent 980A the right part?
No. The Sargent 980A is a non-lockable, non-electrified removable mullion - it lifts out to open the full pair width for moving equipment or oversized freight, and it is not designed to be keyed or locked into the frame. If the specification calls for a lockable or electrified mullion, that is a different product line rather than a finish or length change on the 980A. For a straight Grade 1 removable-type replacement, compare against Stanley Security's QRM100 series QRM111 or QRM300 series QRM311.
