Sargent AD8515E 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What door widths does the Sargent AD8515 cover, and which rail do I order?
Door widths from 24 to 48 inches are covered by four rail lengths: E Rail for 24 to 32 inch doors, F Rail for 33 to 36 inches, J Rail for 37 to 42 inches, and G Rail for 43 to 48 inches. No cutting is needed on standard sizes. Orderable device sizes are 32, 36, 42 and 48 inches, so pick the size that brackets your actual door width.
2) Do I have to specify handing on the Sargent AD8515?
Yes, handing is a required choice: RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse). Exit devices are always reverse bevel since the door swings out in the direction of egress, so stand outside the door and note which side the hinges are on before ordering.
3) Is the Sargent AD8515 rated Grade 1, and is it fire rated?
The AD8515 carries ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 certification for heavy duty commercial use. A windstorm rating is available as an option by adding WS to the order. If your opening is a fire door, specify that requirement with your order rather than assuming this configuration covers it.
4) What outside trim can I get with the Sargent AD8515, and does it lock?
The device function is passage, meaning the outside lever always retracts the latch and there is no locking from the trim itself. Eight ET trim lever styles are offered (A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W), or you can order the device alone with no outside trim, which makes it exit only with no outside operation.
5) What narrow stile exit device should I use on an aluminum storefront door instead of the Sargent AD8515?
The Adams Rite 8400 Series is the other narrow stile option built specifically for aluminum doors. It is a Grade 1 narrow stile mortise exit device described as life-safety and non fire rated. The Sargent AD8515 is also Grade 1 narrow stile and is a rim device with single point rim latching on the AD8500 Series, sized 32 through 48 inches, where the 8400 is a mortise device. If the door is already prepped for a mortise lock case, the 8400 fits that prep; if it is prepped for a rim strike, the AD8515 does.
6) I need a fire rated exit device. Is the Sargent AD8515 the right choice?
The Sargent AD8515 is a Grade 1 passage function narrow stile rim device, and the option called out on it is a windstorm rating ordered as WS. For a fire rated opening, the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL is a Grade 1 3 hour fire rated mortise exit device in the ED5000 Series for 1-3/4 inch doors, exit only or with classroom or passage lever trim, 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, so confirm the stile width on the door before specifying.
7) Can I put the Sargent AD8515 on a wood door, or do I need something else?
The Sargent AD8515 is described for wood or metal doors at 1-3/4 inch thickness, with thicker doors available by special order. Several of the comparable devices are narrower in that respect: the Von Duprin 8875-3FT, Von Duprin 9875-3FT and Detex 30 Series are each listed as not wood door compatible. If the opening is a wood door and you want a mortise alternative, the Adams Rite 3300 Series and 8300 Series are both Grade 1 wide stile mortise exit devices for wood and hollow metal doors, the 3300 fire rated and the 8300 not.
8) What is the closest narrow stile exit device to the Sargent AD8515 from another manufacturer?
The Von Duprin 5575-3ft is the nearest narrow stile equivalent. Like the Sargent AD8515 it is a Grade 1 narrow stile device, and Von Duprin lists it in the 55 Series at 3 ft with a 1-3/4 inch door thickness and field reversible handing. The AD8515 differs in that handing is selected at order as RHR or LHR rather than reversed in the field, and it is offered in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch sizes. The 5575 uses a crossbar actuator; buyers who want a push rail on an aluminum glass door usually stay with the AD8515.
9) The Sargent AD8515 will not work on my opening because the door is a wide stile hollow metal door. What do I use?
The Sargent AD8515 is engineered for narrow stile aluminum glass doors with a minimum 1-3/4 inch stile, so a wide stile hollow metal opening calls for a different device. The Von Duprin 9875-3FT is a 3 ft smooth case wide stile mortise exit device, Grade 1, non-handed, for 1-3/4 inch doors; Von Duprin lists it as not wood door compatible. The Falcon 25-M-EO is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise device in 36 inch exit only for 1-3/4 inch doors. Choose the 9875 for a smooth case look and the 25-M-EO where exit only is all the opening needs.
10) Can the Sargent AD8515 secure a pair of doors?
It can, in either of two ways. As a single point rim device it latches into a strike at the jamb, so on a pair you either use a removable mullion between the leaves and mount a device on each, or put the device on the active leaf only. The AD8515 is listed for single and double door applications with mullion configurations.
11) What is the difference between a narrow stile rim device like the Sargent AD8515 and a wide stile mortise device?
The AD8515 is a rim device: the latch is surface mounted and throws into a strike on the jamb face, so the stile only needs to be 1-3/4 inches, which is why it suits aluminum glass doors. A wide stile mortise device such as the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL or the Von Duprin 9875 pockets a mortise lock body into the door edge and needs a much wider stile, typically on hollow metal or wood doors. Match the device to the door you have, not the other way around.
12) What other narrow stile exit devices could I use instead of the Sargent AD8515?
Two narrow stile alternatives we carry: the Adams Rite 8400 Series, a Grade 1 life-safety narrow stile mortise device for aluminum doors, and the Von Duprin 5575, a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar mortise device in 3 ft that is field reversible and listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both are mortise devices, so they prep the door edge differently than the AD8515 rim latch. The 5575 being field reversible also means you do not commit to a hand at the time of order the way you do with the AD8515.
13) I manage a building with storefront entries. Can I standardize on the Sargent AD8515 across all of them?
It works well for that if the entries are aluminum glass doors. One model covers 24 to 48 inch widths through four rail lengths, twelve finishes let you match existing hardware, and Grade 1 certification suits heavy traffic in offices, schools, healthcare, retail and multi-tenant residential. The two things that vary door to door are handing (RHR or LHR) and the rail size, so inventory a spare by opening rather than assuming one unit fits all.
14) What is the difference between the Sargent AD8515 and a mortise exit device like the BEST Precision 2301?
The Sargent AD8515 latches with a single point rim bolt against a surface strike and is offered with ET lever trim in A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W levers or as device only. The BEST Precision 2301 is a 2300 Series mortise exit device described as exit only with heavy wrought construction, so it works a lock case mortised into the door edge and carries no lever trim option. Rim devices like the AD8515 avoid the mortise pocket entirely, which is why they suit thin aluminum stiles.
15) Is there a simpler exit only device if I do not need lever trim on the Sargent AD8515?
The Sargent AD8515 can be ordered as device only with no trim, which keeps it push to exit with no outside operation. If you would rather buy a device built as exit only from the start, the Falcon 25-M-EO is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise device listed as exit only in a 36 inch 3 ft size for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Detex 30 Series Advantex is a Grade 1 wide stile device listed as device only exit only and not wood door compatible. Both are wide stile, so they are alternatives only where the door has the stile width for them.
16) Which exit device holds up best to abuse in a high traffic wide stile opening compared with the Sargent AD8515?
The Sargent AD8515 is ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 for heavy duty commercial use and can be ordered with a windstorm rating as WS, but it is built for narrow stile aluminum glass doors. On a wide stile door, the Von Duprin 9475/9575 Impact Series is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise lock exit device with a recessed push pad, non fire rated, and the recessed pad is aimed at carts and traffic contact. The Von Duprin 8875-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile crossbar mortise device, non-handed, for 1-3/4 inch doors and not wood door compatible.
17) What finishes does the Sargent AD8515 come in for matching existing storefront hardware?
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 suede and WSP white suede powder coat. The two powder coats are what most aluminum storefronts use when the frames are dark bronze anodized or painted white.
