Sargent AD8415E 10BE – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sargent AD8415 exit device fit a narrow stile aluminum door?
The AD8415 is built for narrow stile openings, with a 1-3/4 inch minimum stile width and a hollow stile that has to give you 1-3/8 inch square of clear inside dimension for the concealed rods. Measure the stile face first, then check the inside cavity. Plenty of narrow stile doors pass the 1-3/4 inch face measurement and still fail the 1-3/8 inch cavity because of internal reinforcing or glazing pocket. If the cavity is short, you need a rim or surface vertical rod device instead, not this one.
2) How do I pick the right rail size for the Sargent AD8415 by door width?
Rail is factory cut, so you specify door width when you order. E Rail covers 24 to 32 inch doors, F Rail 33 to 36 inch, J Rail 37 to 42 inch, and G Rail 43 to 48 inch. Orderable sizes run 32, 36, 42 and 48 inches. Get the width right on the order because a factory-cut rail is not something you shorten in the field.
3) Is the Sargent AD8415 handed, and how do I determine which one I need?
Handing is required on the AD8415. You order either RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse). Stand outside the opening on the pull side: if the hinges are on your right and the door swings toward you, it is right hand reverse. Exit devices are always on out-swinging doors, which is why both choices are reverse bevel. There is no field-reversible option here, so the hand has to be right on the purchase order.
4) What is a narrow stile alternative to the Sargent AD8415 if my opening is not fire rated?
The Von Duprin 5575 is the narrow stile comparable, a Grade 1 crossbar mortise lock device for 1-3/4 inch doors and field reversible, which helps if you are not sure of the hand at order time. It carries no fire rating, so it is only for openings that do not need one. Adams Rite 8400 Series is the other narrow stile route, Grade 1, non fire rated, and built for aluminum doors. Both differ from the AD8415 in that neither is listed with a fire rating, and the AD8415 covers doors up to 2-1/4 inch thick where the 5575 is a 1-3/4 inch device.
5) Does the Sargent AD8415 lock the outside, or do I need lever trim to control entry?
Passage function means the outside lever or pull is always free. Push the bar from inside, pull the lever from outside, and nobody is ever locked out. If you need to lock the outside side, passage is the wrong function for you. Trim choices run ETA, ETB, ETE, ETF, ETJ, ETL, ETP and ETW levers, or exit device only with no outside trim at all, which leaves the outside a blank face with no way in.
6) My door has a wide stile. Can I still use the Sargent AD8415, or do I need a different device?
You can, but there are better fits. The AD8415 is a narrow stile device and depends on the door having a hollow stile with 1-3/8 inch of square clear cavity, which most wide stile hollow metal and wood doors do not have. For a wide stile fire rated opening, the Adams Rite 3300 Series is a Grade 1 fire rated mortise exit device for wood and hollow metal doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL is a Grade 1 3 hour fire rated wide stile mortise device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts passage or classroom lever trim. For non rated wide stile, look at the Von Duprin 9875 or the Falcon 25-M-EO.
7) The door has a wide stile and needs a 3 hour fire rating - what mortise exit device should be used instead of the Sargent AD8415?
The Sargent AD8415 is engineered for narrow stile openings with a 1-3/4 inch minimum stile width, so a wide stile door calls for a different device. The Corbin Russwin ED5600AL is a Grade 1 3 hour fire rated wide stile mortise exit device that accepts passage or classroom lever trim, which covers the same passage function the AD8415 provides. It is built for 1-3/4 inch doors, so confirm the leaf thickness before ordering.
8) Is the Von Duprin 5575 a direct replacement for a Sargent AD8415?
Both are Grade 1 narrow stile mortise exit devices, but they are not interchangeable at the door. The Von Duprin 5575-3ft is a crossbar device, field reversible, for 1-3/4 inch doors and is not fire rated. The Sargent AD8415 is a touchpad device with concealed vertical rods, is UL Fire and Panic listed, is ordered handed as RHR or LHR, and accepts doors from 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick. A crossbar swap changes the look of the push side and the door prep, so treat it as a redesign of the exit, not a drop-in.
9) What is the difference between a concealed vertical rod exit device and a rim or surface vertical rod device?
A concealed vertical rod device like the AD8415 runs its rods inside the door stile and latches at the head and the threshold, so it secures a pair of doors with no center mullion and leaves nothing exposed on the door face. That is why it needs the 1-3/8 inch square hollow cavity. A rim device latches into a strike on the frame or a removable mullion and is far easier to install, but it puts hardware in the middle of the opening. Surface vertical rod gives you the same top and bottom latching without any door cavity requirement, at the cost of visible rods. Pick concealed when appearance matters and the door is prepped for it.
10) What mounting height should the Sargent AD8415 pushbar be set at for an elementary school?
Use the 38 inch centerline for elementary schools and accessibility-driven installs. Standard commercial applications get the 41 inch centerline. Decide this before the door is prepped, since the center case is 8-3/8 by 2-5/8 inches and the through-bolt pattern is cut to the height you choose. Maximum door opening height for the device is 120 inches.
11) How far does the Sargent AD8415 pushbar stick out into the doorway?
Projection is 3 inches at neutral and 2-1/8 inches with the bar depressed. That matters on a tight vestibule or where two leaves swing toward each other, because the neutral 3 inches is what a passing cart or a wheelchair footrest clears, not the depressed figure. Check it against your clear opening width before you commit.
12) Is the Sargent AD8415 rated heavy enough for a high traffic entrance?
Grade 1 is the highest ANSI/BHMA durability tier for exit devices, and the AD8415 carries it, which puts it in the same class as the Von Duprin 98 and Corbin Russwin ED5000 devices you would spec on a main entrance. The top bolt is stainless steel for corrosion resistance, which matters on an exterior opening that sees weather.
13) What do I need to order besides the Sargent AD8415 device itself to finish the job?
Four decisions beyond the device. Handing, RHR or LHR, which is required. Door width, so the rail is factory cut to E, F, J or G. Trim, either one of the ET levers (A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W) or None if the outside stays blank. And any electric option, which has to be specified at order because it is built into the rail. The 650 top strike and 606 bottom strike are the strikes the device uses, and cylinder dogging comes with the #41 cylinder if you specify it.
14) What is a simpler exit-only mortise device to use where the Sargent AD8415 lever trim is not needed?
The Sargent AD8415 can be ordered with ET lever trim in A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W lever styles, or as exit device only. Where no outside trim is wanted at all, the Falcon 25-M-EO is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise exit device supplied exit only for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the BEST Precision 2301 is an exit only mortise device with heavy wrought construction. Both are wide stile devices, so they suit a hollow metal or wood leaf rather than the narrow stile opening the AD8415 targets.
15) What mortise exit device holds up better than a Sargent AD8415 in a high-abuse opening?
The Von Duprin 9475/9575 Impact Series is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise exit device with a recessed push pad, a design aimed at openings that take cart and equipment strikes. It is not fire rated. The Sargent AD8415 is a Grade 1 UL Fire and Panic listed narrow stile device with a stainless steel top bolt and a pushbar that projects 3 inches neutral and 2-1/8 inches depressed. If the opening is fire rated or narrow stile, the Impact Series is not a substitute regardless of the abuse level.
16) Do any of the alternatives to the Sargent AD8415 avoid having to specify handing?
The Sargent AD8415 is ordered handed, RHR or LHR. Among the mortise exit devices in the same Grade 1 class, the Von Duprin 8875-3FT and the Von Duprin 9875-3FT are non-handed, and the Von Duprin 5575-3ft is field reversible. All three are 1-3/4 inch door devices without a fire rating, and only the 5575 is narrow stile, so on a fire rated narrow stile opening the handed AD8415 remains the device that fits the conditions.
17) For standardizing a facility on one Grade 1 mortise exit device, how do the Sargent AD8415 and the alternatives line up?
Grade 1 is common ground: the Sargent AD8415, Adams Rite 3300 and 8300, Adams Rite 8400, Corbin Russwin ED5600AL, Detex 30 Series, Falcon 25-M-EO, and the Von Duprin 5575, 8875, 9475/9575 and 9875 all carry Grade 1. What splits them is stile and fire. Only the AD8415, the Adams Rite 8400 and the Von Duprin 5575 are narrow stile; the rest are wide stile. Only the AD8415, the Adams Rite 3300 and the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL carry a fire rating. A facility with both aluminum storefront and hollow metal fire doors will need at least two of these, and the AD8415 is the one that covers the narrow stile fire rated case.
18) Can I match the Sargent AD8415 to the aluminum storefront and dark bronze hardware already on my building?
Twelve finishes are offered, so matching an existing set is usually possible. Bronze runs 09 bright bronze, 10 satin bronze, 10B dark oxidized satin bronze oil rubbed, 10BE, 10BL, and 20D dark statuary bronze lacquered. Brass is 03 bright and 04 satin. Stainless is 32 bright and 32D satin, which is what most aluminum storefront gets paired with. Powder coats are BSP black suede and WSP white suede for painted frames. If your other doors are dark bronze anodized storefront, 10B or 20D are the closest.
