Sargent AD8506E 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What door width do I order the Sargent AD8506 in, and do I have to cut the rail?
Rail length is picked off door width, and no cutting is needed on standard sizes. E Rail covers 24 to 32 inch doors, F Rail 33 to 36 inches, J Rail 37 to 42 inches, and G Rail 43 to 48 inches. Orderable device sizes are 32, 36, 42 and 48 inches. Measure the door leaf first, then order the rail that brackets it.
2) Does the Sargent AD8506 need handing specified when I order?
Yes, handing is required and there is no field-reversible option. You pick RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse). Stand outside the door: if it swings toward you and the hinges are on your right, it is RHR. Get this wrong and the device does not latch. If you need a mortise exit device you can reverse in the field instead, the Von Duprin 5575 is a narrow stile crossbar device listed as field reversible.
3) What does storeroom function mean on a Sargent AD8506 exit device?
Storeroom function means the outside lever or trim is always locked. Anyone inside pushes the pad and walks out at any time; from the outside, a key in the cylinder retracts the latch so you can get in, but the outside lever never stays unlocked. It is the usual choice for stock rooms, mechanical spaces, and tenant back doors where you never want the opening left free.
4) Can I use the Sargent AD8506 on a pair of doors?
Yes, with a mullion. The AD8506 is a single point rim latching device, so it latches into a strike at the edge of the opening rather than at the head and sill. On a pair you need a mullion between the leaves for the latch to catch. It also works on a single door with a standard strike. If you want a pair with a clear opening and no mullion in the way, you are looking at a vertical rod device instead.
5) Does the Sargent AD8506 come with lever trim or do I order that separately?
Trim is a separate selection and you can order the device with none at all. Choices are ET trim in A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W lever styles, or Exit Device Only if you are reusing trim or want a pull instead. Exit device only is also how you spec a push-to-exit opening with no outside operation.
6) Which mortise exit device should I use if my door is a wide stile hollow metal door, not narrow stile aluminum?
The Sargent AD8506 is a narrow stile device and is the wrong chassis for a wide stile opening. For wide stile doors there are several Grade 1 mortise devices: the Von Duprin 9875 is a smooth case wide stile mortise exit device, non-handed, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Von Duprin 8875 is the crossbar version, also non-handed and 1-3/4 inch; the Falcon 25-M-EO is a 36 inch wide stile mortise device listed for 1-3/4 inch doors; and the Adams Rite 8300 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise device for wood and hollow metal doors. Note that the Von Duprin 9875 and 8875 are both listed as not wood door compatible, so for a wood door the Adams Rite 8300 or 3300 is the one to look at.
7) I need a fire rated mortise exit device instead of the Sargent AD8506 - what should I order?
The AD8506 is a Grade 1 storeroom function narrow stile device and is not the part for a fire rated opening. For a labeled door, the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL is a Grade 1 three hour fire rated mortise exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Adams Rite 3300 Series is a Grade 1 fire rated mortise exit device for wood and hollow metal doors. Both of those are wide stile devices, so they need the stile width a wide stile chassis requires - they will not drop into the aluminum full glass opening the AD8506 covers. If the labeled door is a narrow stile aluminum door, neither the Von Duprin 5575 nor the Adams Rite 8400 will serve either, as both are listed with no fire rating.
8) What is the closest narrow stile mortise exit device to the Sargent AD8506 from another brand?
The Von Duprin 5575 is the nearest narrow stile peer to the AD8506. Both are Grade 1 mortise lock exit devices built for narrow stile openings, and the Von Duprin 5575 is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, matching the door thickness the AD8506 is designed around. The difference is the actuator: the AD8506 uses a push rail sized to the door width, while the 5575 is a crossbar device and is field reversible, where the AD8506 is ordered handed as RHR or LHR. The Adams Rite 8400 Series is the other narrow stile option, a Grade 1 narrow stile mortise exit device built for aluminum doors.
9) What is the difference between the Sargent AD8506 and the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL for a lever trim opening?
Both take lever trim, but they answer different specs. The Corbin Russwin ED5600AL is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts passage or classroom lever trim, and it is three hour fire rated. The Sargent AD8506 is a narrow stile device with a 1-3/4 inch minimum stile for aluminum frame full glass doors, in storeroom function, and its lever trim is Sargent ET trim ordered in A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W lever styles. The deciding factors are stile width and the function called for on the door schedule: storeroom keeps the lever locked from outside until a key is used, while the ED5600AL is specified as passage or classroom trim.
10) Will the Sargent AD8506 work on a 1-3/4 inch wood or hollow metal door, or is it aluminum only?
It takes wood or metal doors at 1-3/4 inch thickness, not just aluminum storefront. Thicker doors are a special order. 1-3/4 inch is standard commercial door thickness, so most openings are covered as-is.
11) What is the difference between the Sargent AD8506 and the Von Duprin 5575 narrow stile exit device?
Both are Grade 1 narrow stile devices for aluminum doors, but they are different operating types. The AD8506 is a push pad rim device with storeroom function trim options. The Von Duprin 5575 is a crossbar mortise device, field reversible, rated for 1-3/4 inch doors, and it is not fire rated. Crossbar hardware reads as older or institutional and it projects further into the opening, push pad hardware sits flatter on a glass front. The Adams Rite 8400 Series is the other narrow stile mortise device we carry for aluminum doors.
12) Is there a Sargent AD8506 version for a hurricane or windstorm rated opening?
A windstorm rated configuration is available as an option on the AD8506. Specify it at order time, it is not a field add-on, so the opening schedule needs to call it out before the device ships.
13) Can the Sargent AD8506 be held unlocked during business hours?
Not mechanically as standard, dogging comes through the electric options. Order the 58 electric dogging suffix to hold the push pad depressed on a signal, or 56 remote dogging / latch retraction to drive it from an access control panel or time clock. That is how you keep a storefront pushed open to the public during the day and let it relock on schedule at night.
14) Is the Adams Rite 8400 the same thing as the Sargent AD8506?
They serve the same opening but they are not the same device. Both are Grade 1 narrow stile mortise exit devices, and the Adams Rite 8400 Series is a life-safety narrow stile device for aluminum doors, the same class of full glass aluminum frame opening the AD8506 is engineered for at a 1-3/4 inch minimum stile. Where they part: the Adams Rite 8400 carries no fire rating, and the AD8506 is a storeroom function device ordered with ET lever trim - A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W lever - or as exit device only, in rail sizes of 32, 36, 42 and 48 inches. Confirm trim and rail length against the existing door before treating one as a swap for the other.
15) I only need free egress, no outside trim - is there a simpler device than the Sargent AD8506?
Yes. The AD8506 is a storeroom function device that accepts ET lever trim for keyed entry from the outside, though it can be ordered as exit device only. If the opening never needs outside access, an exit only device is the simpler part: the Falcon 25-M-EO is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise exit only device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Detex 30 Series Advantex is a Grade 1 wide stile device only, and the BEST Precision 2301 Series is an exit only mortise device with heavy wrought construction. All three are wide stile, so they are options only where the stile allows - a narrow stile aluminum door still needs a narrow stile chassis like the AD8506 ordered without trim.
16) Can I use the Von Duprin 8875 or 9875 on the same aluminum glass door as the Sargent AD8506?
No. The Von Duprin 8875 and 9875 are both wide stile mortise exit devices, and the Von Duprin 9475/9575 Impact Series is wide stile as well. The Sargent AD8506 is built to a 1-3/4 inch minimum stile for aluminum frame full glass doors, which is exactly the condition a wide stile chassis cannot be mounted to. For a narrow stile aluminum door the crossover parts are the Von Duprin 5575, a Grade 1 narrow stile mortise device for 1-3/4 inch doors, or the Adams Rite 8400 Series narrow stile mortise device for aluminum doors.
17) We are standardizing on Grade 1 mortise exit devices across a campus - which of these meet that?
For an ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 standard, the Sargent AD8506 is Grade 1, and so are the Adams Rite 3300 and 8300 Series, the Adams Rite 8400 Series, the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL, the Detex 30 Series Advantex, the Falcon 25-M-EO, the Von Duprin 5575, 8875, 9475/9575 and 9875. The practical split across a campus is not the grade but the door: the AD8506, Von Duprin 5575 and Adams Rite 8400 cover narrow stile aluminum openings, while the rest are wide stile devices. Fire rated labeled doors narrow the set again to the Adams Rite 3300 and the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL.
18) Does the Sargent AD8506 need to be ordered handed, and which alternatives are non-handed?
The Sargent AD8506 is ordered handed, as RHR right hand reverse or LHR left hand reverse, so the door swing has to be confirmed before the order goes in. If a non-handed or reversible device would simplify a multi-door order, the Von Duprin 8875 and Von Duprin 9875 are both listed as non-handed wide stile mortise exit devices, and the Von Duprin 5575 narrow stile device is field reversible.
19) Can I match the Sargent AD8506 to the storefront hardware already on my building?
Twelve finishes are available, which covers most existing storefronts: 03 bright brass, 04 satin brass, 09 bright bronze, 10 satin bronze, 10B dark oxidized satin bronze oil rubbed, 10BE dark oxidized satin bronze, 10BL dark oxidized satin bronze clear coated, 20D dark statuary bronze lacquered, 32 bright stainless, 32D satin stainless, BSP black suede powder coat, and WSP white suede powder coat. 32D satin stainless and the dark bronzes are the usual matches on commercial aluminum entrances; BSP and WSP match painted storefront framing.
20) Which of these devices uses a crossbar instead of a push rail?
If the building standard is a crossbar device, the Von Duprin 5575 is the narrow stile crossbar mortise lock exit device and the Von Duprin 8875 is the wide stile crossbar version, both Grade 1 and listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Sargent AD8506 is a push rail device, ordered by rail length in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch sizes to suit the door width. The Von Duprin 9475/9575 Impact Series takes a third approach with a recessed push pad for wide stile doors.
