Sargent AD8513E 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What door widths does the Sargent AD8513 cover, and do I have to cut the rail?
Door widths from 24 to 48 inches are covered across four rail lengths: E Rail for 24 to 32 inch doors, F Rail for 33 to 36 inch, J Rail for 37 to 42 inch, and G Rail for 43 to 48 inch. Standard door sizes need no cutting. Orderable sizes run 32, 36, 42 and 48 inches.
2) What does classroom function mean on the Sargent AD8513 exit device?
Classroom function means the outside lever trim is locked or unlocked by key, while the push rail always allows free egress from the inside. That is the standard arrangement for school and campus openings where staff control entry from the corridor side. The AD8513 is the classroom function model in the AD8500 Series.
3) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Sargent AD8513?
Yes, handing is required. The AD8513 is ordered either RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse). Exit devices are always reverse bevel, so stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right it is RHR. Get this wrong and the lever trim will not work correctly.
4) Can the Sargent AD8513 be used on a pair of doors?
Yes. It is a single point rim latching device, so on a pair it latches into a strike on a removable mullion rather than into the opposite door leaf. Single door openings latch to a frame-mounted strike. If you want a pair with no mullion at all, you need a vertical rod device instead.
5) What door thickness is the Sargent AD8513 set up for?
Standard configuration is for 1-3/4 inch thick doors, wood or metal. Thicker doors can be handled but need a special order, so flag it when you place the order rather than assuming the stock device will work.
6) Does the Sargent AD8513 come with lever trim, or is that separate?
Trim is a choice on the order. You can take the device on its own (exit device only) or add ET trim in any of eight lever styles: A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W. Since this is the classroom function device, most openings get an ET lever trim so the outside can be key controlled.
7) What is the closest narrow stile alternative to the Sargent AD8513 for an aluminum glass door?
Two narrow stile Grade 1 devices sit alongside the Sargent AD8513: the Von Duprin 5575-3ft, a narrow stile crossbar mortise lock exit device rated Grade 1 and field reversible for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Adams Rite 8400 Series life-safety narrow stile mortise exit device for aluminum doors. The AD8513 uses a push rail with classroom function and ET lever trim options; the Von Duprin 5575 uses a crossbar rather than a push pad, which changes the look of the door face, and the Adams Rite 8400 is a life-safety device listed non-fire-rated.
8) I need a fire rated mortise exit device - can I use the Sargent AD8513?
The AD8513 is offered with a windstorm rating option (order WS) rather than a fire rating. If the opening requires a fire label, look at the Adams Rite 3300 Series fire-rated mortise exit device for wood and hollow metal doors, Grade 1, or the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL, a Grade 1 3-hour fire rated mortise exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors that can be used exit only or with classroom or passage lever trim. Both of those are wide stile devices, so the stile width of your door decides whether they will fit.
9) The opening is a wide stile hollow metal door - what should I use instead of the Sargent AD8513?
The AD8513 is built for narrow stile openings with a 1-3/4 inch minimum stile, so a wide stile door calls for a wide stile mortise device. Grade 1 wide stile options include the Von Duprin 9875-3FT smooth case non-handed device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Von Duprin 8875-3FT crossbar version, the Falcon 25-M-EO exit-only device, and the Detex 30 Series Advantex. Note that the Von Duprin 9875, 8875 and Detex 30 are listed as not wood door compatible.
10) Is the Sargent AD8513 rated for high wind or storm shelter openings?
A windstorm rated configuration is available as an option, ordered by adding WS. The standard device does not carry it, so specify WS up front if the opening is in a high wind area.
11) Is the Sargent AD8513 Grade 1?
Yes, the AD8513 meets ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1, the heaviest commercial duty level for exit devices. That is what most school, healthcare and government specs call for on a main egress opening.
12) What narrow stile mortise exit device can I use instead of the Sargent AD8513?
Two Grade 1 narrow stile alternatives we carry: the Von Duprin 5575 is a narrow stile crossbar mortise device, field reversible, sized for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Adams Rite 8400 Series is a narrow stile life-safety mortise device for aluminum doors. Both are crossbar or mortise style rather than the AD8513's push rail rim latching, so door prep differs.
13) What is a simpler option than the Sargent AD8513 if I do not need outside lever trim?
The AD8513 is a classroom function device and is ordered with ET lever trim in A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W styles, or as device only. If the opening never needs outside entry, exit-only devices are simpler: the BEST Precision 2301 Series mortise exit device is exit only with heavy wrought construction, the Falcon 25-M-EO is a Grade 1 wide stile exit-only device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Detex 30 Series Advantex is listed device only, exit only. All three are wide stile or unlisted for stile, so they do not replace the AD8513 on a narrow stile aluminum door.
14) Is the Von Duprin 9475/9575 Impact Series a substitute for the Sargent AD8513?
It is not a direct swap. The Von Duprin 9475/9575 Impact Series is a wide stile mortise lock exit device with a recessed push pad, Grade 1, listed as not fire rated. The Sargent AD8513 is a narrow stile rim device built for a 1-3/4 inch minimum stile on aluminum frame full glass doors. Both are Grade 1 mortise-family exit devices, but the Impact Series needs the wider stile face that a recessed push pad design requires.
15) How does the Adams Rite 8300 Series compare with the Sargent AD8513?
The Adams Rite 8300 Series is a life-safety mortise exit device for wood and hollow metal doors, Grade 1 and listed non-fire-rated, with a wide stile profile. The Sargent AD8513 is a Grade 1 narrow stile device for wood or metal doors up to 1-3/4 inch thick, sized by rail for 24 to 48 inch door widths and supplied in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch lengths. The deciding factor is stile width: the 8300 needs a wide stile, the AD8513 fits down to a 1-3/4 inch stile.
16) What finishes does the Sargent AD8513 come in so I can match the other doors in my building?
Twelve finishes: 03 bright brass, 04 satin brass, 09 bright bronze, 10 satin bronze, 10B dark oxidized satin bronze oil rubbed, 10BE, 10BL, 20D dark statuary bronze lacquered, 32 bright stainless, 32D satin stainless, plus BSP black and WSP white suede powder coat. 32D and BSP are the usual matches for aluminum storefront work.
17) I only need free egress with no outside entry. Is the AD8513 overkill?
If nobody needs to key in from the outside, yes. Order the AD8513 with no trim, or look at an exit only device like the Falcon 25-M-EO or the BEST Precision 2301 Series. The classroom function only earns its keep when staff need to lock and unlock the outside lever by key.
