Sargent MD8610E 10BE – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the primary use of the Sargent MD8610 dummy function exit bar?
The MD8610 provides the appearance of a functional exit device without actual latching mechanism. Used on fixed leaf of double doors or where consistent aesthetics are required across door openings.
2) Is this exit bar compatible with existing MD8600 series installations?
Yes, the MD8610 dummy matches the profile and finish of functional MD8600 series exit devices. Uses same mounting preparation and strike box locations for uniform appearance.
3) Does this exit bar have specific handing requirements?
Dummy exit bars are typically reversible and require no handing specification. Verify with manufacturer template if used with specific strike configurations or mullion applications.
4) What finishes are available for the MD8610?
Available in standard Sargent finishes including satin chrome, dark bronze, and bright brass. Consult current finish chart for complete options and matching requirements.
5) What grade rating does this exit device carry?
As a dummy function device, the MD8610 does not carry operational grade ratings. The device provides aesthetic continuity without functional performance requirements.

Minimal maintenance required. Periodic cleaning and inspection of mounting hardware. No operational adjustments needed since device is non-functional.
