Sargent AD8546E 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sargent AD8546 exit device fit an aluminum storefront door with a narrow stile?
Yes. The AD8546 is a narrow stile rim device built for stiles as small as 1-3/4 inches (44mm), which covers aluminum frame full glass storefront doors. Door thickness is 1-3/4 inches (44mm) for the standard device; thicker doors are handled by ordering with the 31- prefix.
2) What does storeroom function mean on the Sargent AD8546, and can people still get out?
Outside lever trim is always locked, so entry is by key only, while pushing the pad from the inside always releases the latch for free egress. The freewheeling trim means the outside lever spins without engaging when it is locked, so forcing it does not break the trim. That is the usual choice for storage rooms, mechanical rooms, and tenant back doors where you want the door secure but code-compliant egress at all times.
3) Do I need to specify handing when ordering the Sargent AD8546?
Yes, handing is required. The AD8546 is ordered as either RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse). Exit devices are always reverse bevel since the door swings out, so stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right it is RHR. If you need a non-handed or field-reversible device instead, the Von Duprin 5575 narrow stile crossbar mortise device is listed as field reversible.
4) Is the Sargent AD8546 Grade 1, and does it carry a fire rating?
It is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1, the highest commercial durability class. For a fire-rated mortise exit device, the Adams Rite 3300 Series is listed as fire rated and is also Grade 1, though it is a wide stile device for wood and hollow metal doors rather than narrow stile aluminum.
5) What other narrow stile mortise exit devices work on aluminum full glass doors besides the Sargent AD8546?
Two narrow stile alternatives cover the same kind of opening. The Adams Rite 8400 Series is a life-safety narrow stile mortise exit device built for aluminum doors, and it is Grade 1 with no fire rating. The Von Duprin 5575-3ft is a narrow stile crossbar mortise lock exit device, Grade 1, field reversible, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Sargent AD8546 differs in actuation and trim: it is a push rail device with storeroom function and freewheeling ET lever trim, offered in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch rail sizes.
6) I need a fire-rated mortise exit device instead of the Sargent AD8546 - what should I order?
For a fire-rated opening, look at the Adams Rite 3300 Series, a fire-rated Grade 1 mortise exit device for wood and hollow metal doors, or the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL, a Grade 1 3-hour fire rated mortise exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors that mounts exit only or takes passage or classroom lever trim. Both are wide stile devices, so the door must have the stile width for them; the Sargent AD8546 is the narrow stile choice at a 1-3/4 inch minimum stile.
7) I need a mortise exit device for a wood door - is the Sargent AD8546 the right pick or should I look elsewhere?
The Sargent AD8546 is rated for wood or metal doors at 1-3/4 inch thickness, so it will work on a wood door that has the stile width. If you want a wide stile device for wood, the Adams Rite 8300 Series is a Grade 1 life-safety mortise exit device for wood and hollow metal doors with no fire rating, and the Adams Rite 3300 Series is the fire-rated equivalent for the same door types. Avoid the Detex 30 Series and the Von Duprin 9875-3FT and 8875-3FT for wood, as all three are listed as not wood door compatible.
8) What lever trim options come with the Sargent AD8546?
Eight ET lever designs are available: A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W. You can also order the device on its own with no trim if you are reusing existing trim or want exit-only operation on that leaf. Since this is the storeroom function, the outside lever is the keyed side, so pick the lever style to match the rest of the openings in the building.
9) Is there a windstorm rated version of the Sargent AD8546?
Yes, a windstorm rated configuration is available by adding WS to the order. That is the one to specify for coastal openings or shelter areas where the opening has to hold against wind pressure.
10) Which mortise exit device should I use if no outside trim is needed at all?
Exit-only devices skip the outside trim entirely. The Falcon 25-M-EO is a Grade 1 exit only mortise device in a 36 inch wide stile, 3 ft rail, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The BEST Precision 2301 is an exit only mortise device with heavy wrought construction, and the Detex 30 Series Advantex is a Grade 1 device-only mortise exit device. The Sargent AD8546 can also be ordered without trim by selecting the exit device only trim option, though its storeroom configuration is built around freewheeling ET lever trim.
11) What is the difference between a crossbar mortise exit device and the Sargent AD8546 push rail?
The Von Duprin 5575-3ft and 8875-3FT use a crossbar actuator, and the Von Duprin 9475/9575 Impact Series uses a recessed push pad on wide stile doors. The Sargent AD8546 uses a push rail with single point rim latching, sized by rail length so no cutting is needed: 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 doors. Crossbar devices project further from the door face, while a push rail keeps a flatter profile.
12) Which mortise exit device gives classroom function lever trim instead of storeroom?
The Corbin Russwin ED5600AL accepts passage or classroom lever trim and is a Grade 1 3-hour fire rated wide stile mortise device for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Sargent AD8546 is configured as a storeroom function device with freewheeling trim, meaning the outside lever is always rigid to entry unless keyed while egress stays free from the inside.
13) What finishes does the Sargent AD8500 narrow stile rim device come in?
Twelve finishes: 03 bright brass and 04 satin brass clear coated, 09 bright bronze and 10 satin bronze clear coated, 10B oil rubbed dark oxidized satin bronze, 10BE and 10BL dark oxidized satin bronze, 20D dark statuary bronze lacquered, 32 bright stainless and 32D satin stainless, plus BSP black suede and WSP white suede powder coat. The powder coats are the usual match for dark or white anodized storefront.
