Sargent AD8510E 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What else can I use instead of a Sargent AD8510 on a narrow stile aluminum door?
Two Grade 1 narrow stile alternatives worth looking at. The Von Duprin 5575-3ft is a narrow stile crossbar mortise device, field reversible, for 1-3/4 inch doors, so it fits the same opening but gives you a crossbar look instead of a push pad. The Adams Rite 8400 Series is a narrow stile life safety mortise device for aluminum doors. Both are mortise devices rather than the AD8510's rim latch, which changes the door prep, a mortise pocket instead of a surface rim strike.
2) What length AD8510 device do I order for a 36 inch wide door?
Device length follows door width. The AD8510 rails cover 24 to 48 inch doors: E rail for 24 to 32 inches, F rail for 33 to 36 inches, J rail for 37 to 42 inches, and G rail for 43 to 48 inches. A 36 inch door takes the F rail, ordered as the 36 inch size. Standard sizes need no cutting. Orderable sizes are 32, 36, 42 and 48 inches.
3) My doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inches. Can I still use a Sargent AD8500 narrow stile rim device?
Standard build is 1-3/4 inches only. For a thicker door, the AD8510 has to be special ordered with the 31- prefix on the part number. Don't order the standard device and try to make it work.
4) Does the AD8510 need to be ordered handed?
Handing is required, and there are two choices: RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse). Exit devices are always reverse bevel because the door swings out under you, so stand outside the opening: if the hinges are on your right, it's RHR. Get this wrong and the device is not field reversible on the order.
5) Is the Sargent AD8510 exit only, or can I add a lever on the outside?
As catalogued the AD8510 is the exit only / dummy trim function, so the outside is push-pull with no latch retraction from a lever. If you need outside access you add ET trim at the time of order, available with A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W levers. Ordering with no trim gives you the device alone.
6) Can I use a narrow stile rim exit device on a pair of doors?
Yes, but a rim device latches into a strike, so on a pair you need a removable mullion between the leaves for the AD8510 to strike against. The AD8500 series is suited to single and double doors with mullion configurations. If you can't have a mullion in the opening (moving wide equipment through, for example), a rim device is the wrong choice and you want a vertical rod device instead.
7) What's the difference between a narrow stile and a wide stile mortise exit device?
It comes down to what the door gives you to mount on. Narrow stile devices like the AD8510 (1-3/4 inch minimum stile) go on aluminum glass doors where the frame member is thin. Wide stile devices need a much broader lock stile and go on hollow metal or wood doors, for example the Von Duprin 9875-3FT or the Falcon 25-M-EO. Putting a wide stile device on a glass storefront door is the single most common mis-order in this category, the case simply doesn't fit the stile.
8) What is the closest narrow stile mortise exit device to the Sargent AD8510 from another manufacturer?
The Adams Rite 8400 Series is the nearest peer: it is a Grade 1 narrow stile mortise exit device built for aluminum doors, matching the narrow stile construction of the Sargent AD8510 and its Grade 1 rating. The 8400 Series is a life-safety device with no fire rating, so on an opening where the door schedule calls for a labeled assembly it is not the drop-in. Both are aimed at the same aluminum storefront and full glass entrance work.
9) I need a narrow stile exit device with a crossbar instead of a push rail - what are my options?
The Von Duprin 5575-3ft is a narrow stile crossbar mortise lock exit device, Grade 1, in a 3 ft length for 1-3/4 inch doors, and it is field reversible. The Sargent AD8510 is ordered to a specific hand, RHR or LHR, while the 5575 reverses in the field, which matters when one device has to cover either leaf of a pair. The 5575 carries no fire rating.
10) Is the Sargent AD8510 Grade 1?
ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1, which is the commercial-duty rating for exit devices and what most institutional specs call for. A windstorm rating is available as an option by adding WS to the order.
11) Can I standardize one exit device across both my storefront entries and my hollow metal stairwell doors?
Not with one model. The AD8510 is narrow stile and belongs on the aluminum glass entries. Your hollow metal doors take a wide stile device, and several in that class explicitly do not go on wood, the Von Duprin 8875-3FT and 9875-3FT and the Detex 30 Series are all listed as not wood door compatible. What you can standardize is the finish and the lever, ordering the same finish code and the same ET lever letter across families keeps the building looking consistent even where the device bodies differ.
12) Do any of the alternatives to the Sargent AD8510 go on a wood door?
The Adams Rite 3300 Series and 8300 Series are both mortise exit devices for wood and hollow metal doors, the 3300 fire rated and the 8300 life-safety with no fire rating, both Grade 1 wide stile. Several of the other Grade 1 mortise devices are not wood door compatible: the Detex 30 Series, the Von Duprin 8875-3FT and the Von Duprin 9875-3FT all list wood door compatibility as no. The Sargent AD8510 is the narrow stile aluminum storefront device rather than a wood door device.
13) Which Von Duprin mortise exit devices should I not order for an aluminum storefront door?
The Von Duprin 8875-3FT and 9875-3FT are both wide stile mortise exit devices - the 8875 a crossbar device in 36 inch, the 9875 a 3 ft smooth case device - and both are non-handed Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors with no fire rating. The Von Duprin 9475/9575 Impact Series is also a wide stile mortise device with a recessed push pad. Wide stile devices need the stile face a storefront leaf does not have; the Sargent AD8510 is the narrow stile device for that opening.
14) I want an exit only device with no lever trim at all - what are the choices besides the Sargent AD8510?
The Sargent AD8510 can be ordered as device only with no trim, or with ET lever trim in A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W lever styles. If you want a device that is exit only by design, the BEST Precision 2301 Series is a mortise exit device, exit only, with heavy wrought construction, and the Detex 30 Series Advantex is a Grade 1 mortise device supplied device only, exit only. The Detex 30 is a wide stile device and is not compatible with wood doors.
15) What finishes does the Sargent AD8510 come in, and is there a dark bronze to match existing storefront hardware?
Twelve finishes, including three dark bronze variants: 10B dark oxidized satin bronze oil rubbed, 10BE dark oxidized satin bronze, and 10BL the clear coated version. The rest are 03 bright brass, 04 satin brass, 09 bright bronze, 10 satin bronze, 20D dark statuary bronze lacquered, 32 bright stainless, 32D satin stainless, plus BSP black and WSP white suede powder coat. For matching a storefront that has weathered, the powder coats hold color better than a lacquered brass.
16) Is the AD8510 quiet enough for a healthcare or office corridor entry?
The single point rim bolt design is the reason people pick it for occupied buildings, there's one latch point rather than rods top and bottom, so there's less hardware to rattle and slam on every exit. It's a commercial-duty device, Grade 1, and Sargent lists healthcare and commercial office glass storefronts among its applications.
17) If I am standardizing exit devices across a facility on Grade 1, which mortise devices match the Sargent AD8510 rating?
The Sargent AD8510 is ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1. Peer Grade 1 mortise exit devices include 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, and the Von Duprin 5575, 8875, 9475/9575 and 9875. The split that decides the order is stile: the AD8510 and the Adams Rite 8400 and Von Duprin 5575 are narrow stile, while the rest of that group are wide stile devices.
18) Which exit device holds up best on a high abuse door where the push pad takes hits?
The Von Duprin 9475/9575 Impact Series is a mortise lock exit device with a recessed push pad, a Grade 1 wide stile device. The BEST Precision 2301 Series is a mortise exit device with heavy wrought construction, exit only. The Sargent AD8510 uses a single point rim latching push rail sized by door width with E, F, J and G rail options, and it is the narrow stile device of the group, so on an aluminum storefront leaf the Impact Series and the 2301 are not alternatives.
