Sargent KP8878E-ETA-10BE – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sargent 8878 keypad exit device work on a wood door?
No. The 8878 keypad rim exit device is not rated for wood door applications, so for a wood opening you need a different device. It is a commercial-only unit intended for metal door and frame preps.
2) Does the Sargent 8878 need power run to the door?
No wiring. The 8878 is battery powered and motor driven, so there is no external power connection to make, which is why it gets used on openings where running power would mean cutting walls or coring a frame. Sargent rates it at roughly 40,000 operations per battery set.
3) What rail size do I order for a 36 inch door on the Sargent KP-8800?
A 36 inch door takes the 33 inch to 36 inch rail. The 8878 is offered in four rail sizes covering 24 to 32 inch, 33 to 36 inch, 37 to 42 inch and 43 to 48 inch doors, so measure the actual door leaf width and pick the band it falls in.
4) Do I have to specify handing on the Sargent 8878?
Yes, handing is required and there are two choices: RHR (right hand reverse) and LHR (left hand reverse). Exit devices are always reverse bevel because the door swings out in the direction of egress. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right and the door pulls toward you, it is RHR.
5) Can I use a key to get in if the keypad batteries die on the Sargent 8878?
Not on the 8878. That model is the no-cylinder-override version, so entry is by code only. If your facility wants a mechanical key override on the same keypad platform, the companion 8877 is the cylinder override model in the KP-8800 family. Programming and user codes survive a power loss because the controller uses non volatile memory.
6) Is the Sargent KP-8800 keypad exit device Grade 1 and code compliant for an exit door?
Grade 1 under ANSI/BHMA A156.3, UL 305 listed for panic hardware, ADA compliant, and windstorm certified. That combination is what an institutional or municipal spec normally calls for on a required egress opening.
7) Do I need access control software or a network to run the Sargent KP-8800?
No. It is standalone. All programming is done right at the door on the keypad, including user codes and the selectable operating functions, so there is no panel, no head end, and no cabling. For a property manager with a handful of doors that keeps the whole system at the opening; if you need audit trails or central credential management across a campus, you want a networked device instead.
8) Can the Sargent 8878 be tied into our building master key system?
The keypad device works with new or existing master keyed systems, so it can be coordinated with the rest of the facility's keying rather than sitting outside it. The 8878 itself is the version without a cylinder override, so keying integration applies to the system it is specified into rather than to a cylinder in the pushpad.
9) What finishes and lever styles does the Sargent 8878 come in for matching other doors in the building?
Twelve finishes are offered, including 32D satin stainless and 10B oil rubbed dark bronze plus black and white suede powder coats, and eight lever designs (A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W). That range is what lets a keypad opening match existing Sargent trim elsewhere in the building rather than standing out at the main entry.
10) Will a rim exit device like the Sargent 8878 work on a pair of doors?
A rim device latches into a strike, so on a pair it needs a mullion or an active leaf with a fixed inactive leaf to strike against. If you have a pair with a clear opening and no mullion, a surface vertical rod device is the right type instead, since it latches at the head and threshold. The 8878 is a wide stile pushpad rim device, so it also needs enough stile face to take the rail and the keypad trim.
11) How do I tell whether the Sargent keypad exit device is locked or in programming mode?
LED indicators on the device give the feedback: green for unlocked, yellow for programming mode, and combination signals for deadbolt status. Useful when a maintenance tech is verifying a code change without having to test the door from the outside.
12) Is the keypad on the Sargent KP-8800 going to hold up outdoors in the sun?
The keypad is made from an ultraviolet stable textured material, which is the reason it is used on exterior openings where a standard plastic keypad would chalk and fade. Pair that with the windstorm certification and it is a common choice on exterior egress doors.
