Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM-32D LHR 36X84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Sargent MD8613F exit device handed, and which hand do I order?
Handing matters here. The MD8613F is offered in Left Hand Reverse and Right Hand Reverse. Stand outside the door: reverse handing means the door swings out toward you, which is what a panic device opening normally does. Pick the hand off the hinge side before you order, because the two are not interchangeable.
2) Can the Sargent MD8600 CVR be used on a fire rated opening?
Yes. The MD8600 Series concealed vertical rod device is UL Fire and panic listed and carries ANSI A156.3 Grade 1 certification, so it is suitable for fire rated as well as standard panic openings. Note that hex key dogging is a mechanical hold-open, and dogging is not permitted on a fire door assembly.
3) What door and frame prep does the Sargent MD8600 concealed vertical rod device need?
Center case prep is 8-3/8 by 2-5/8 inches, with the device centerline at 41 inches from finished floor. The frame takes a 650 top strike and the threshold takes a 606 bottom strike. Push bar projection is 3 inches at rest and 2-1/8 inches depressed, which is what you use to check clearance against a door pull or vestibule wall.
4) I need a fire rated concealed vertical rod device on a hollow metal door - what are the options besides the Sargent MD8613F?
The Sargent MD8613F is UL Fire and panic listed. If you are sourcing another fire rated concealed vertical rod device for hollow metal, the Adams Rite 3600 Series is fire rated Grade 1 wide stile, and the Adams Rite 3900 Series is fire rated Grade 1 with a 1-1/2 hour rating. The Adams Rite 8500 and the Dormakaba DORMA 9100 and 9600BB are listed non fire rated.
5) What is the closest Grade 1 concealed vertical rod alternative to the Sargent MD8613F if the door is aluminum narrow stile instead of hollow metal?
The Sargent MD8613F is built for 36 x 84 metal doors with a 4-1/2 inch minimum stile, so a narrow aluminum stile will not take it. Narrow stile Grade 1 concealed vertical rod options include the Corbin Russwin ED4800, the Dormakaba DORMA 9600BB in 36 inch, the Von Duprin 3347A-3ft, and the Adams Rite 8600 Series for aluminum doors.
6) The Sargent MD8613F takes outside trim - what should I order if the opening only needs exit only with no lever outside?
The MD8613F is the lever trim configuration and works with functions 06, 10, 13, 15, 40, 43, 46, 73 and 74. For an opening with no outside operation, exit only concealed vertical rod devices include the Falcon 1690EO in 3 ft, the Falcon 24-C in 36 inch, the Falcon 1990EO in 44 inch, the Von Duprin 3347A-EO, the BEST Precision 2601 exit only, and the CRL Jackson 1085 in 48 inch.
7) Can I use the Sargent MD8613F on a wood door, and what is the concealed vertical rod option if not?
The MD8613F is specified for 36 x 84 metal doors. For a wood door, the BEST Precision 2701 is a wide stile reversible concealed vertical rod device for wood doors. Note that the Von Duprin 7547 is listed as not wood door compatible.
8) Why choose a concealed vertical rod exit device over a rim device with a mullion?
A concealed vertical rod latches at the head and the threshold with the rods hidden inside the door, so a pair of doors can be secured with no center mullion and nothing exposed on the door face to snag or get vandalized. A rim device plus a removable mullion is simpler to install and service, but the mullion sits in the opening and has to be pulled for wide moves. The MD8600 CVR is the choice when you want the clear opening and a clean door face on hollow metal.
9) What trim functions work with the Sargent MD8600 Series exit device?
The MD8600 CVR accepts trim functions 06, 10, 13, 15, 40, 43, 46, 73 and 74, covering everything from exit only and dummy pull through keyed and thumbpiece lever operation. The trim function is a separate order decision from the device itself, so specify it with the device.
10) What electrified options can I add to the Sargent MD8600 CVR?
Available options include alarm (AL), latchbolt monitoring (53), electric dogging (58) and delayed egress (59). These are specified at order time, not added in the field. Note the base device as configured here is mechanical, with hex key dogging as standard.
11) What is a comparable Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device for a hollow metal door if the Sargent doesn't suit?
For a wide stile hollow metal opening, the Adams Rite 3600 Series is a Grade 1 fire rated CVR for hollow metal doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED5800 is a Grade 1 wide stile CVR rated for 1-3/4 inch doors. If you need a non-fire-rated wide stile unit, the Adams Rite 8500 Series and the DORMA 9100 Series are Grade 1 options, the 9100 covering 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors.
12) The Sargent MD8613F is a pushbar device - is there a crossbar concealed vertical rod alternative?
The MD8613F uses a push bar with 3 inch projection neutral and 2-1/8 inch depressed. If the specification calls for a crossbar instead, the Corbin Russwin ED7800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar concealed vertical rod device, and the Von Duprin 5547-3ft is a 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar device.
13) The Sargent MD8613F is handed left hand reverse or right hand reverse - which concealed vertical rod devices are non-handed?
The MD8613F is ordered as Left Hand Reverse or Right Hand Reverse. If you would rather stock a single non-handed device, the BEST Precision 2601 exit only is non-handed, the CRL Jackson 1085 in 48 inch is non-handed, and the BEST Precision 2701 wide stile is reversible.
14) Does the Falcon 1491DT work as a substitute for the Sargent MD8613F on the inactive leaf of a pair?
No. The Falcon 1491DT is a dummy trim device with a 9970 pull in 42 inch, so it does not latch or provide panic egress. The Sargent MD8613F is a functioning Grade 1 UL fire and panic listed concealed vertical rod device with hex key dogging. Use the dummy only where no latching is required.
15) If my hollow metal doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inch, is the Sargent MD8613F still the right concealed vertical rod device?
The MD8613F is specified with a 1-3/4 inch minimum door thickness. If you need a device with a published range above that, the Dormakaba DORMA 9100 wide stile and DORMA 9600BB narrow stile are both listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Corbin Russwin ED5800 and ED4800 are listed at 1-3/4 inch.
16) I have mixed narrow, medium and wide stile doors - is there one concealed vertical rod device that covers all of them instead of the Sargent MD8613F?
The Sargent MD8613F requires a 4-1/2 inch minimum stile on a 36 x 84 metal door. The CRL Jackson 1285 push pad concealed vertical rod exit is listed for narrow, medium or wide stile as an exit only device, which covers a mixed set of openings where no outside trim is needed.
17) What does hex key dogging on the Sargent MD8600 do for a high traffic entrance?
Hex key dogging lets authorized staff hold the latch retracted with a hex wrench so the door pushes free during business hours, then re-latches when dogged off. It is standard on the MD8600. If you want that behavior controlled from an access system instead, order the electric dogging (58) option.
18) What finish does the Sargent MD8613F concealed vertical rod device come in?
Satin stainless steel, 32D. That is the standard institutional finish, so it will match existing 32D pulls, hinges and push plates across a school, hospital or office building where you are standardizing openings.
19) Is the Sargent MD8600 heavy enough for a main entrance with constant traffic?
It is rated heavy duty, commercial, and exceeds ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 for cycle and strength testing. Construction is modular with a stainless steel top bolt and machine screw mounting, so parts can be replaced module by module rather than swapping the whole device when something wears.
