Sargent EL980 GRAY 86 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What makes the Sargent EL980 different from a standard removable mullion?
It is the electrified one. The post is built to carry wiring up through the frame and the mullion itself, so power or signal reaches door-mounted electrified hardware (electric latch retraction, request-to-exit, monitoring) without an external cord loop across the opening. A non-electrified mullion gives you the latching post and nothing else. If nothing on either leaf needs power, you do not need the EL980.
2) Is the Sargent EL980 mullion lockable, and what cylinder does it take?
Yes, it locks, and it accepts a 1-3/4 inch standard cylinder. That means the post cannot be pulled by anyone without the key, so the pair stays secured as a pair. Spec the cylinder to your building keyway so it falls into the same key system as the rest of the openings, and leave clearance at the cylinder location when you set the post.
3) What is a non-electrified alternative to the Sargent EL980 mullion when the opening has no access control wiring?
The EL980 is an electrified steel mullion with a lockable cylinder, built so wiring can be routed through the door frame and mullion assembly. If the opening carries no wiring and none is planned, that routing capability goes unused. The Stanley Security QRM311 is a Grade 1 mullion in the QRM300 Series and covers a removable mullion opening without any electrical pathway to terminate. Choose the EL980 where power has to cross the opening, and the QRM311 where the mullion is purely mechanical.
4) Can Stanley QRM111 mullion hardware be used in place of a Sargent EL980?
Not as a like-for-like swap where the opening needs power. The QRM111 is QRM100 Series Grade 1 mullion hardware; the Sargent EL980 is a steel mullion with a lockable cylinder taking a 1-3/4 inch standard cylinder and an electrified body that carries wiring through the frame and mullion. A locksmith replacing an EL980 with the QRM111 keeps the mullion function at the opening but loses both the keyed cylinder and the wire path, so any access control terminating in the mullion has to be relocated.
5) Does the Sargent EL980 mullion come finished, or do I have to paint it?
It ships in gray prime coat steel, in both the 86 inch and 120 inch heights. Prime coat is a paintable base, not a final finish, so if the opening has to match a frame color or an architectural finish schedule, budget for field painting after the post is set. There is no other factory finish on this mullion.
6) What else do I have to order to finish a pair of doors with a Sargent EL980 electrified mullion?
The post alone does not complete the opening. You still need a rim exit device on each leaf, a cylinder for the mullion lock in your keyway, and the power supply and wiring run to feed whatever electrified hardware the post is serving. Power gets dropped before the post goes in, wiring is pulled through the frame and mullion pathways, then the cylinder is fitted and every function tested, including the access control tie-in.
7) What other brands of removable mullion are there besides the Sargent EL980?
Stanley Security makes two Grade 1 mullions we carry: the QRM111 from the QRM100 Series and the QRM311 from the QRM300 Series, both standard configuration. Neither of those is an electrified post, so if you need wiring carried up through the mullion to door hardware, the EL980 is the one that does it. If the pair is purely mechanical rim devices with no power crossing the opening, a standard mullion covers the job.
8) What is the difference between the Stanley QRM111 and QRM311 mullions?
They sit in different Stanley Security families. The QRM111 is QRM100 Series mullion hardware, and the QRM311 is QRM300 Series, both described as Grade 1. Confirm the series against the exit device family already on the pair of doors before ordering, since mullion hardware is matched to the device line it serves.
9) Which mullion should be specified for a 120 inch tall pair of doors?
The Sargent EL980 is furnished at an 86 inch standard height with optional heights up to 120 inch, both offered in a gray prime coat steel finish, so a tall opening stays within one part family. Verify the frame height and the exit device mounting positions before selecting the 120 inch build, since the mullion must land on the header and threshold prep already in the opening.
10) I manage a school and want the same mullion across every double door. Does the Sargent EL980 standardize well?
Across a fleet it works if you keep two things consistent: the height you order (86 inch posts for 7 foot openings, 120 inch where the frames are taller) and the cylinder keyway, so one key pulls any post in the building. Because the finish is gray prime coat rather than a final plated finish, every post gets painted to the same color on site, which actually makes matching across openings easier. Only the openings with electrified door hardware need the EL980; plain mechanical pairs can run a standard mullion.
