Sargent AD8615E 10BE – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sargent AD8615 exit device fit a 2-inch thick hollow metal door?
Yes. The AD8615 concealed vertical rod device covers doors from 1-3/4 inches (44mm) minimum up to 2-1/4 inches thick, so a 2-inch metal door is inside the range. It also needs at least a 4-1/2 inch (114mm) stile and the door can be up to 120 inches (3048mm) tall.
2) How do I pick the right rail length for my door width on a Sargent AD8600 concealed vertical rod device?
Rails are factory cut to four sizes and you order by door width: E Rail covers 24 to 32 inch doors, F Rail 33 to 36 inch, J Rail 37 to 42 inch, and G Rail 43 to 48 inch. The orderable sizes are 32, 36, 42 and 48 inches. Give the actual door width when you order and Sargent cuts the rail to it.
3) Does the AD8615 passage function mean the outside lever is always unlocked?
Passage function, yes. The AD8615 is the passage version of the Sargent AD8600 concealed vertical rod device, so outside trim retracts the latch at all times with no key control on the lever. If you need the outside to lock off, you need a different function in the series, not this one.
4) Is handing required when ordering the Sargent AD8615?
Handing is required, and there are two choices: RHR (right hand reverse) and LHR (left hand reverse). Exit devices are always reverse bevel since the door swings out in the direction of egress, so stand outside the opening and note which side the hinges are on before you order.
5) Can I hold the doors open during business hours with a Sargent AD8615?
Hex key dogging is standard on non-fire rated AD8600 devices, so you can dog the pushbar down for free traffic and release it at close. Cylinder dogging is available as the 16- prefix with a #41 cylinder supplied if you would rather staff used a key. For remote control there is 58- electric dogging or 56- remote latch retraction.
6) The Sargent AD8615 needs a 4-1/2 inch stile. What mortise exit device works on an aluminum storefront door with a narrower stile?
The AD8615 requires a minimum 4-1/2 inch (114mm) stile width on hollow metal doors. For a narrow aluminum storefront stile, the Adams Rite 8400 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile mortise exit device built for aluminum doors, and the Von Duprin 5575-3ft is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar mortise lock device that is field reversible. Both are narrow stile designs rather than the standard-stile hollow metal application the AD8615 is cut for.
7) What is the closest alternative to the Sargent AD8615 if the opening needs a fire-rated exit device?
The AD8615 is a passage function device from the Sargent AD8600 Series rated Grade 1, and its hex key dogging is standard on non-fire rated devices. When the opening carries a fire label, the Adams Rite 3300 Series is a fire-rated Grade 1 wide stile mortise exit device for wood and hollow metal doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL is a Grade 1 3-hour fire rated mortise exit device that can be ordered exit only or used with classroom or passage lever trim. Both keep the Grade 1 rating while adding the fire label the AD8615 dogging feature is not intended for.
8) Our doors are 2 inches thick. Do the Von Duprin and Falcon mortise exit devices cover that like the Sargent AD8615?
The AD8615 is built for hollow metal doors from 1-3/4 inch (44mm) minimum up to 2-1/4 inch thick. Among the comparable mortise devices, the Von Duprin 8875-3FT, 9875-3FT and 5575-3ft and the Falcon 25-M-EO all carry a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, as does the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL. For a door above 1-3/4 inch, the AD8615 is the one in the group with the thicker-door range.
9) Can a Von Duprin 8875 or 9875 drop into the same prep as a Sargent AD8615?
No. The AD8615 is a concealed vertical rod device with a center case of 8-3/8 inch by 2-5/8 inch, a 650 top strike and a 606 bottom strike, and a factory-cut rail in E, F, J or G size for door widths from 24 to 48 inches. The Von Duprin 8875-3FT is a wide stile crossbar mortise exit device, non-handed, and the 9875-3FT is a smooth case wide stile mortise device, also non-handed, both Grade 1 for metal doors. They latch and prep differently, so treat them as a device change with new door and frame prep, not a swap.
10) We need an exit device on a wood door. Does the Sargent AD8615 apply, and what else should we look at?
The AD8615 is engineered for hollow metal doors with a 4-1/2 inch minimum stile. For wood doors, the Adams Rite 3300 Series and 8300 Series are Grade 1 wide stile mortise exit devices listed for wood and hollow metal doors, the 3300 fire rated and the 8300 a non fire rated life-safety device. Note that the Von Duprin 8875-3FT and 9875-3FT and the Detex 30 Series are not wood door compatible.
11) What lever trim options work with the Sargent AD8615 and is trim included?
Trim is a separate selection. The AD8615 takes Sargent ET trim in A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W lever designs, or you can order the device alone with no outside trim for exit-only openings. Pick the lever style that matches the rest of the building.
12) Why choose a concealed vertical rod device over a surface vertical rod on a metal door?
A concealed vertical rod runs the rods inside the door, so nothing hangs on the face to get kicked, vandalized or collect dirt, and it latches top and bottom to secure a pair without a mullion. The tradeoff is prep: the AD8615 needs a hollow metal door prepped for concealed rods, plus the 650 top strike in the frame head and the 606 bottom strike at the threshold. If your existing doors are not prepped for concealed rods, a surface rod or rim device is the easier retrofit.
13) Can the AD8615 be mounted lower than standard height for an elementary school?
Yes. Standard device centerline is 41 inches (1041mm) above finished floor, and a 38 inch (965mm) centerline is available for elementary schools and accessibility, used with the 100 Series Auxiliary Control. Specify the lower mounting when you order, since it changes the door prep.
14) What electrified and monitoring options can I add to the Sargent AD8600 exit device?
The list runs deep: 53- latchbolt monitor, 54- outside lever monitoring via a micro switch in the ET control, 55- request-to-exit signal switch in the rail, 56- remote latch retraction, 57- delay egress with electromagnets, 58- electric dogging and 59- Electroguard self contained delayed egress. Non-electric add-ons include AL- alarm (36 inch door width minimum), BT- beacon, PL- SARGuide photoluminescent coating and TL- SARGuide illuminated touchpad. These are factory options, so specify them on the order rather than adding later.
15) Is the Sargent AD8615 a Grade 1 device?
Grade 1, the heaviest commercial duty rating, and it is a commercial-only device. That is the grade specified for high traffic openings in schools, hospitals and government buildings.
16) What is the difference between the Sargent AD8615 and a wide stile crossbar mortise device like the Von Duprin 8875?
Two different things. The AD8615 is a touchpad-style concealed vertical rod device that latches at the head and threshold, with passage lever trim available and hex dogging. The Von Duprin 8875-3FT is a crossbar mortise device, Grade 1, non-handed, for 1-3/4 inch metal doors (not wood), and it latches into the frame jamb through a mortise lock rather than top and bottom. The 9875-3FT is the smooth case wide stile version of the same idea. Crossbar is the older look and the simpler prep; concealed rod is what you want when you are securing a pair with no mullion or keeping the face of the door clean.
17) We only need push-to-exit with no outside trim. Is there a simpler device than the Sargent AD8615?
The AD8615 can be ordered with ET lever trim in A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W levers, or as exit device only with no trim. If the opening never needs outside entry, the Falcon 25-M-EO is a Grade 1 exit only wide stile mortise device in a 36 inch 3 ft size, 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. Those are built exit only, while the AD8615 is a trim-ready platform you can leave bare.
18) For a high-abuse opening, is there a mortise exit device with a recessed push pad instead of the Sargent AD8615 pushbar?
The AD8615 uses a pushbar with 3 inch projection at neutral and 2-1/8 inch when depressed. If the concern is impact and pad abuse, the Von Duprin 9475/9575 Impact Series is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise lock exit device with a recessed push pad. It is a non fire rated device, so confirm the opening does not carry a fire label before specifying it.
19) How far does the Sargent AD8615 push bar stick out from the door?
Projection is 3 inches at rest and 2-1/8 inches when the pushbar is depressed. The center case measures 8-3/8 x 2-5/8 inches. Worth checking against corridor clear width and anything mounted on the wall the door swings toward.
20) What finishes does the Sargent AD8600 exit device come in for matching existing hardware?
Twelve finishes: bright brass (03), satin brass (04), bright bronze (09), satin bronze (10), dark oxidized satin bronze in oil rubbed (10B), 10BE and clear coated (10BL), dark statuary bronze lacquered (20D), bright stainless (32), satin stainless (32D), plus black suede (BSP) and white suede (WSP) powder coats. For a fleet of metal doors in a commercial building, 32D satin stainless is the usual standard.
