Sargent AD8673E 10BE – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What door thickness and door width does the Sargent AD8673 cover?
Doors from 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick, and door widths from 24 inches up to 48 inches. That upper thickness is worth noting: 1-3/4 inch is the standard commercial door, and most mortise exit devices stop there. The AD8673 goes to 2-1/4, so it covers thicker hollow metal leaves that would otherwise need a special order.
2) How do I order the right rail length for my door on a Sargent AD8600 device?
Rails are factory cut, not field cut to any length you like. Four rail sizes (E, F, J, G) cover the 24 to 48 inch door width range, and you order the device in a 32, 36, 42, or 48 inch size to match the leaf. Measure the actual door width before you place the order, because the rail arrives sized.
3) Is the Sargent AD8673 handed, and how do I tell which one to order?
Handing is required. The AD8673 comes RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse) only, which is what you want on an outswing exit door. Stand on the outside of the door, and if the hinges are on your right it is right hand reverse. Get it wrong and the device will not work, so it is not a field-reversible unit like the Von Duprin 8875, which is non-handed.
4) What does fail safe mean on the Sargent AD8673, and what voltage do I need?
Fail safe means the device unlocks when power drops. Cut the power, whether by fire alarm or a supply failure, and the trim releases, so it is the choice where free access has to hold during an alarm or outage. If you need the opening to stay secure when power drops, that is fail secure and it is a different device. Order 12V or 24V to match your power supply; voltage is a required selection.
5) Can I dog down the Sargent AD8673 to leave the door push-open during business hours?
Standard units come with hex key dogging, and cylinder dogging is available using a #41 cylinder if you want the dogging under a key rather than an allen wrench. One catch: the fire rated version is supplied less dogging. Fire doors have to latch every time, so if you order the Fire Rated option you lose the ability to dog it open.
6) The Sargent AD8673 will not fit my narrow stile aluminum storefront - what mortise exit device should I use instead?
The AD8673 is built for hollow metal doors with a 4-1/2 inch minimum stile and 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thickness, which rules out a typical aluminum storefront stile. For those openings, the Adams Rite 8400 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile mortise exit device specified for aluminum doors, and the Von Duprin 5575 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar mortise lock exit device, field reversible, for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both 8400 and 5575 are non fire rated, so if the storefront opening carries a label neither one will satisfy it.
7) My opening is a labeled fire door - which mortise exit devices carry a fire rating alongside the Sargent AD8673?
The AD8673 is ordered with a Rating choice of Standard or Fire Rated (Less Dogging), so the fire configuration exists but gives up the hex key dogging that the standard build includes. Cross-brand, the Adams Rite 3300 Series is a Grade 1 fire rated 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. Watch the peers that are not rated: Adams Rite 8300, Von Duprin 8875, 9475/9575, 9875 and 5575 are all listed non fire rated and cannot go on a labeled opening.
8) What is the closest equivalent to a Sargent AD8673 mortise exit device from another manufacturer?
The Sargent AD8673 is a Grade 1 mortise exit device in the AD8600 Series. The closest cross-brand peers by construction class are the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL, a Grade 1 mortise exit device in the ED5000 Series with a wide stile design and a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and the Von Duprin 9875-3FT, a Grade 1 smooth case wide stile mortise exit device that is non-handed and also built for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both match the AD8673 on Grade 1 mortise lock construction. The difference to plan around is handing and electrification: the AD8673 is ordered as RHR or LHR with 12V or 24V fail safe operation, while the 9875-3FT is non-handed and the ED5600AL is specified as exit only or with classroom or passage lever trim.
9) I do not need access control on this opening - what is a simpler mortise exit device than the Sargent AD8673?
The AD8673 is an electrified device ordered with a 12V or 24V coil and optional electric features such as latchbolt monitor, signal switch, remote latch retraction, and electric dogging, so it only earns its cost where an access control system is driving it. On a mechanical opening, the Falcon 25-M-EO is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise exit device specified as exit only for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the BEST Precision 2301 is a mortise exit device in the 2300 Series built exit only with heavy wrought construction. Detex 30 Series Advantex is another Grade 1 wide stile mortise device supplied as device only, exit only. All three drop the wiring, the power supply, and the voltage decision entirely; none of them accept lever trim on the outside, so pick one only where the opening is egress only with no outside entry.
10) Should I use a concealed vertical rod device or a mortise exit device on a pair of doors?
A concealed vertical rod device like the AD8673 latches at the head and at the threshold, so it secures a pair of doors with no center mullion and no rods showing on the face of the door. A mortise exit device latches into the frame or a mullion at the strike jamb, which means on a pair you need a removable mullion. If your opening is a single leaf in a frame, a mortise device such as the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL or the Falcon 25-M-EO is the simpler build.
11) What mounting height is the Sargent AD8673 set at, and can it be lowered for a school?
Standard centerline is 41 inches from the finished floor, with a 38 inch option intended for elementary schools and accessibility. Specify the 38 inch height at the time of order if the facility needs the lower push bar reachable by small children.
12) Does the Sargent AD8673 come with lever trim, or do I order that separately?
Trim is a choice you make on the order. The AD8673 can be ordered exit only with no outside trim, or with ET trim in eight lever designs: A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W. Pick the lever to match the rest of the openings in the building. If the door only needs to be an exit and nobody comes back in through it, the device-only option is the one to take.
13) What strikes are included with the Sargent AD8673 concealed vertical rod device?
A 650 top strike and a 606 bottom strike ship with the device, and they cover both panic and fire rated applications. The top bolt is stainless steel. Since it is a concealed rod device the strikes prep into the frame head and the floor or threshold, so plan that prep with the frame supplier if the opening is new.
14) I need an electrified exit device but my door is a single leaf with a mortise lock prep. Is the AD8673 the right one?
Probably not. The AD8673 is a concealed vertical rod device, which means rod pockets in the door and strikes at the head and the sill, not a mortise pocket in the lock edge. If your existing prep is mortise, a mortise exit device drops in more cleanly: the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL, the Falcon 25-M-EO, the Detex 30 Series Advantex, or the Von Duprin 9875 smooth case are all Grade 1 wide stile mortise devices.
15) Can I substitute a Von Duprin 8875 or 9875 mortise exit device for a Sargent AD8673 on a wood door?
No. The AD8673 is specified for hollow metal doors, and both Von Duprin peers are listed as not wood door compatible: the 8875-3FT wide stile crossbar mortise device and the 9875-3FT smooth case wide stile mortise device, both Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors. Detex 30 Series is also listed not wood door compatible. For a wood door, the mortise peers that name wood are the Adams Rite 3300 Series, Grade 1 and fire rated for wood and hollow metal doors, and the Adams Rite 8300 Series, Grade 1 life safety for wood and hollow metal doors but non fire rated.
16) Is a Von Duprin 8875 crossbar device the same thing as a Sargent AD8673?
They are both Grade 1 mortise exit devices but they are not interchangeable at the door face. The AD8673 is a concealed vertical rod device with a touchpad rail, ordered in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch sizes and handed RHR or LHR. The Von Duprin 8875-3FT is a wide stile crossbar mortise exit device, 36 inch, and non-handed, while the 5575-3ft is the narrow stile crossbar version, field reversible. A crossbar spans the door with a horizontal bar rather than a push rail, so swapping between the two changes the appearance of the opening and the door prep. If the goal is to match a push style device, the Von Duprin 9475/9575 Impact Series uses a recessed push pad for wide stile doors and the 9875-3FT uses a smooth case.
17) I need outside lever entry on the door - which mortise exit devices take lever trim like the Sargent AD8673?
The AD8673 is ordered with ET Trim lever options in A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W levers, or as exit device only with no trim. The cross-brand peer that also takes lever trim is the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL, a Grade 1 mortise exit device specified as exit only or for use with classroom or passage lever trim, which is not included with the device. The peers to avoid for this requirement are the ones built exit only with no outside trim: the Falcon 25-M-EO, the BEST Precision 2301, and the Detex 30 Series supplied as device only.
18) We are standardizing exit devices across a facility - are the mortise alternatives to the Sargent AD8673 all the same grade?
For a standardization spec, the Sargent AD8673 is Grade 1, and the mortise peers that also state Grade 1 are the Adams Rite 3300 Series, Adams Rite 8300 Series, Adams Rite 8400 Series, Corbin Russwin ED5600AL, Detex 30 Series Advantex, Falcon 25 Series, Von Duprin 5575, 8875, 9475/9575 and 9875. Grade alone will not settle the spec: the ones that separate them are stile type, whether the opening is labeled, and whether outside trim or electrification is needed. On a mixed facility, that usually means one Grade 1 wide stile family for hollow metal openings and a narrow stile Grade 1 family such as Adams Rite 8400 for the aluminum entrances.
19) How much clearance does the center case of a Sargent AD8600 device need on the door face?
The center case measures 8-3/8 x 2-5/8 inches. Check that against any vision lite, louver, or existing hardware near the middle of the leaf before you commit, and against the 4-1/2 inch minimum stile the device needs at the lock edge.
20) What finishes can I get the Sargent AD8673 in to match the rest of my building?
Twelve finishes: bright and satin brass (03, 04), bright and satin bronze (09, 10), four dark oxidized satin bronze variants (10B oil rubbed, 10BE, 10BL clear coated, 20D dark statuary lacquered), bright and satin stainless steel (32, 32D), and black or white suede powder coat (BSP, WSP). 32D satin stainless is the usual pick when standardizing across commercial openings, and the powder coats are there when the device has to match a painted storefront.
21) What mortise exit device holds up best on a high abuse door compared with the Sargent AD8673?
The Sargent AD8673 uses a stainless steel top bolt and an 8-3/8 inch by 2-5/8 inch center case for hollow metal doors. Among the mortise peers, the Von Duprin 9475/9575 Impact Series uses a recessed push pad for wide stile doors, which keeps the pad inside the case profile, and the BEST Precision 2301 is described with heavy wrought construction. The Detex 30 Series Advantex is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise device supplied as device only. Where the door also needs powered access control, the recessed pad and exit only options do not carry the 12V or 24V electrified operation that the AD8673 does.
