Sargent HC980 GRAY 86 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a removable mullion for, and do I need one with my rim exit devices on a pair of doors?
A removable mullion is the vertical post that drops into the frame between a pair of doors so each leaf can carry a rim exit device latching into the mullion instead of into the other door. The Sargent HC980 is that post, in steel with a gray prime coat. You take it out when you need the full clear opening for moving equipment or freight, then put it back for normal secured operation. If you would rather not have a post in the opening at all, the alternative is vertical rod exit devices, which latch at the head and the threshold instead.
2) Is the Sargent HC980 a hurricane rated mullion for a coastal building?
Yes. The HC980 is the Hurricane Code version of Sargent's steel removable mullion, built and tested against hurricane code requirements for wind resistance, and it is ULC listed. That is why it exists as a separate model from a standard removable mullion, and it is the reason to spec it on coastal schools, healthcare, and government openings where the door assembly has to hold in high wind.
3) What is the difference between a hurricane rated mullion and a standard removable mullion?
Structure and listing. A standard removable mullion is there to give rim exit devices something to latch into on a pair of doors. The Sargent HC980 does that too, but it is engineered and tested to hurricane code for wind load and carries a ULC listing, which is what a coastal jurisdiction asks for on the door assembly. If the building is not in a wind-borne debris or high-wind zone, a standard Grade 1 removable mullion covers the job. ZenSupply carries Stanley Security's QRM100 and QRM300 Series Grade 1 mullions in that standard category.
4) What is the difference between the Sargent HC980 mullion and the Stanley QRM111 mullion?
Both are removable mullions for pairs of doors, but they are specified for different conditions. The Sargent HC980 is a hurricane code steel removable mullion, ULC listed, in a Size 2 rectangular profile with a gray prime coat finish and a standard 86 inch height with a 96 inch maximum optional height. The Stanley QRM111 is a Grade 1 mullion from the QRM100 series. If the opening is in a hurricane-prone or coastal building and the drawing calls for wind resistance and hurricane code compliance, the HC980 is the one engineered and tested for that condition. For a standard interior or non-coastal pair of doors, the Grade 1 QRM111 covers the mullion function without the hurricane rating.
5) Can a standard Grade 1 mullion be substituted where a hurricane rated mullion is called for?
No. The Sargent HC980 is engineered and tested to meet hurricane code requirements for wind resistance and structural integrity, and it is ULC listed for code compliance. The Stanley QRM111 and QRM311 are Grade 1 mullions, from the QRM100 and QRM300 series, and Grade 1 is an operational and strength designation for the mullion itself, not a hurricane or wind rating. Where the permit or the drawing calls for hurricane code compliance on a pair of doors, the HC980 is the mullion that carries that testing; a Grade 1 mullion is the right choice for standard openings where no wind load requirement applies.
6) Does the Sargent HC980 mullion come painted, or do I have to finish it myself?
Gray prime coat only, in both the 86 inch and 96 inch heights. Prime coat means it is ready for paint, not finished. If the opening needs to match a painted frame or a storefront color, budget for field painting. There is no factory architectural finish option on the HC980.
7) Does a removable mullion block egress, and can I still get a stretcher or equipment through the opening?
No, egress is unaffected. Each leaf keeps its own rim exit device and swings free on its own, so people push out normally with the mullion in place. When you need the full clear width, for a stretcher, a bed, or freight, the HC980 lifts out of the frame and goes back in afterward. That removability is the whole point of the design over a fixed center post, and it is why these show up on healthcare and institutional openings.
8) What kind of doors and frames does the Sargent HC980 steel mullion suit?
Pairs of doors in a commercial frame, where both leaves carry rim exit devices. The mullion is heavy steel with a rectangular Size 2 profile, so it needs a frame that can take the top and bottom mullion fittings and the anchoring at the header and floor. It is not a fit for a single door, and it is not for openings already running vertical rod devices, since those latch at the head and threshold and have nothing to latch into on a center post.
9) What is the difference between the Stanley QRM111 and QRM311 mullions?
They are two different series within the same Stanley mullion line. The QRM111 is Grade 1 mullion hardware in the QRM100 series, and the QRM311 is a Grade 1 mullion in the QRM300 series. Both carry the Grade 1 designation, so when a specification simply requires a Grade 1 removable mullion, either series meets that line item and the choice comes down to matching the series already used on the other openings in the building. Neither is described as a hurricane code product, so for a coastal opening where wind resistance is required, the Sargent HC980 hurricane code steel removable mullion is the one built for that duty.
10) Is the Sargent HC980 mullion rated for commercial use or is it residential hardware?
Commercial. The HC980 is commercial door hardware, and the applications it is built for are hurricane-prone commercial buildings, coastal schools, healthcare, government and emergency services buildings, multi-tenant residential, industrial, and retail openings that have to meet hurricane compliance. It is not a residential item.
11) We need to keep the finish consistent with a painted frame. Which removable mullion takes a field finish?
The Sargent HC980 is supplied in a gray prime coat over its steel construction, which is a primed surface intended to be finish painted to match the frame and surrounding hardware, so a paint-to-match program on a coastal building can standardize on it. The Stanley QRM111 and QRM311 are Grade 1 mullions in the QRM100 and QRM300 series; if the goal is a factory finish rather than a primed surface, confirm the finish offering of those series against the frame color before specifying.
