Sargent WD8606E 10BE – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to specify handing on the Sargent WD8606?
Yes, handing is required at order time and there are two choices: RHR (right hand reverse) and LHR (left hand reverse). Exit devices swing out, so every opening is a reverse hand. Stand outside the door, on the side you pull from: if the hinges are on your right it is RHR, on your left it is LHR. Get this wrong and the trim and latching hand are backwards on arrival.
2) What does storeroom function mean on a Sargent WD8606 exit device?
Storeroom function means the outside lever is always locked. It never unlocks by key retraction of the latch in the way a classroom or office function does, so anyone outside needs the key every time, while the push pad inside always gives free egress. That is what you want on mechanical rooms, IT closets, stockrooms and back-of-house doors in a school or hospital where the door must never be left on latch by a passing occupant.
3) Can a concealed vertical rod exit device secure a pair of doors without a center mullion?
That is exactly what a CVR device like the WD8606 is for. It latches at the head and the sill, using a 650 top strike and a 606 bottom strike, so the leaf holds top and bottom rather than into a mullion or a strike on an adjacent leaf. The 8600 Series is set up for single and double door installs. If you would rather keep the hardware simpler and can live with a removable mullion in the opening, a rim device is the cheaper and easier route; CVR earns its keep when you need the clear opening with nothing standing in the middle of it.
4) Does the Sargent WD8606 come with lever trim or do I order it separately?
Trim is a separate line on the order. You can take the device as exit only with no outside trim, or add ET trim in eight lever designs: A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W. The lever letter is purely the shape of the lever, so pick the one that matches the other openings in the building if you are standardizing a fleet. With storeroom function the outside lever is key-operated only.
5) Will a Sargent WD8606 work on an aluminum storefront door?
No. It is a wide stile device needing 4-1/2 inches of stile and it is built for hollow metal doors. A typical aluminum storefront stile is far narrower than that. For an aluminum door you want a narrow stile mortise exit device such as the Adams Rite 8400 Series, which is listed narrow stile for aluminum doors, or the Von Duprin 5575 narrow stile crossbar mortise device.
6) The Sargent WD8606 is going on a fire rated opening. Which comparable mortise exit device is fire rated?
The Adams Rite 3300 Series is a fire-rated Grade 1 wide stile mortise exit device for wood and hollow metal doors. The Corbin Russwin ED5600AL is a Grade 1 3 hour fire rated wide stile mortise exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors, supplied exit only or for use with classroom or passage lever trim that is not included. Note that on the Sargent WD8606 the standard hex key dogging applies to non-fire rated devices, so if the opening is fire rated the dogging behavior changes - confirm the fire label requirement with the AHJ before selecting.
7) What is the closest Von Duprin equivalent to the Sargent WD8606 for a wide stile hollow metal door?
The Von Duprin 9875-3FT is the nearest wide stile mortise exit device peer. It is a Grade 1 smooth case device built for wide stile doors, non-handed, with a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and it is not fire rated. The Sargent WD8606 is also Grade 1 and wide stile, but it is a storeroom function concealed vertical rod device ordered by handing as RHR or LHR, and it covers doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch sizes. The 9875 is a crossbar-free smooth case push pad device; the WD8606 latches top and bottom through concealed rods, so the frame and door prep differ substantially between the two.
8) The opening is a narrow stile aluminum storefront door. What mortise exit device fits instead of the Sargent WD8606?
The WD8606 will not fit a narrow stile aluminum door - it is a wide stile device requiring a 4-1/2 inch minimum stile width. For narrow stile aluminum, the Adams Rite 8400 Series is a Grade 1 life-safety narrow stile mortise exit device built specifically for aluminum doors. The Von Duprin 5575-3ft is another narrow stile Grade 1 mortise lock exit device, field reversible, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and it is not fire rated. Confirm the stile width at the door before ordering either.
9) Is a Von Duprin 8875 a drop in replacement for a Sargent WD8606?
No. The Von Duprin 8875-3FT is a wide stile crossbar mortise exit device, Grade 1, non-handed, for 1-3/4 inch doors, not fire rated and not wood door compatible. It looks like a match because both are Grade 1 wide stile mortise exit devices, but the 8875 is a crossbar device that latches at the mortise lock, while the Sargent WD8606 is a concealed vertical rod device that latches into a 650 Top Strike and 606 Bottom Strike at the head and sill. Swapping one for the other means changing the door and frame prep, not just the device. The WD8606 is also handed - RHR or LHR - where the 8875 is non-handed.
10) The door is a wood door. Which of these mortise exit devices can I use with the Sargent WD8606 out of the running?
The Sargent WD8606 is engineered for hollow metal doors. For wood, the Adams Rite 3300 Series is a fire-rated Grade 1 wide stile mortise exit device for wood and hollow metal doors, and the Adams Rite 8300 Series is the Grade 1 wide stile life-safety version for wood and hollow metal, not fire rated. Rule out the Detex 30 Series, the Von Duprin 8875-3FT and the Von Duprin 9875-3FT on a wood door - all three are listed as not wood door compatible.
11) We want electric latch retraction and alarm options on the exit device. Does the Sargent WD8606 or one of the comparable devices carry them?
The Sargent WD8606 is ordered with the electric option built into the part: AL Alarmed with a 36 inch door width minimum, 53 Latchbolt Monitor Switch, 54 Internal Micro Switch in ET Control, 55 Signal Switch in Rail, 56 Remote Dogging / Latch Retraction, 58 Electric Dogging and 59 Electroguard. The comparable devices in the group are catalogued as mechanical exit devices - the BEST Precision 2301, Falcon 25-M-EO and Detex 30 Series are exit only devices, and the Von Duprin 8875-3FT and 9875-3FT are mechanical crossbar and smooth case devices. If access control integration is part of the scope, the WD8606 carries the switching as an ordering option.
12) Can the Sargent WD8606 be dogged so the door stays push-pull during business hours?
Standard hex key dogging is included on non-fire rated devices, so you can hold the latch retracted and leave the opening free-swinging during open hours. On a fire rated opening mechanical dogging is not permitted, and that is where the 58 electric dogging or 56 remote dogging and latch retraction options come in instead, since they release on alarm.
13) How tall a door can a Sargent WD8600 concealed vertical rod device handle?
Up to 120 inches maximum door height. If you specify the HC or WS options, the ceiling drops to 96 inches. Anything taller than that in a single leaf is outside what the device is rated to cover, so check the actual leaf height on tall lobby or corridor doors before you commit.
14) What height do exit devices get mounted at in an elementary school?
38 inches to the centerline from finished floor, using the 100 Series Auxiliary Control, instead of the standard 41 inch centerline the WD8600 Series ships to. The lower mounting puts the push pad in reach of small children and is the common accessibility-driven choice on elementary buildings. Specify it up front, since it changes the door prep.
15) Can I monitor whether a Sargent WD8606 exit door is latched or being pushed?
Yes, through the electric options. Option 53 is a latchbolt monitor switch, which tells the head end whether the bolt is actually thrown. Option 55 puts a signal switch in the rail so you see the pad being pushed, and 54 is an internal micro switch in the ET control. For a local response there is AL alarmed, which needs a 36 inch minimum door width, plus BT beacon and 59 Electroguard. All of them are ordered as options on the device, not added later in the field.
16) What is the difference between the Sargent WD8606 and a wide stile device like the Von Duprin 9875?
Both are Grade 1 wide stile mortise-family exit devices, but they solve the opening differently. The WD8606 is concealed vertical rod, so it latches into the head and the floor and can hold a pair with no mullion, and it takes doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches thick. The Von Duprin 9875-3FT is a smooth case wide stile mortise device, non-handed, listed at 1-3/4 inch door thickness and not wood door compatible. If your doors run thicker than 1-3/4, the Sargent is the one that covers you.
17) Is the Sargent WD8606 heavy duty enough for a high traffic commercial door?
It is Grade 1, the top ANSI/BHMA durability tier for exit devices, and it is a commercial-rated product with a stainless steel top bolt and an 8-3/8 by 2-5/8 inch center case. That is the specification level a school corridor, hospital service door or warehouse exit is written to. For an opening that takes vehicle or cart impact, the Von Duprin 9475/9575 Impact Series is a wide stile Grade 1 alternative with a recessed push pad.
18) I only need exit hardware with no outside access, is there a cheaper option than the Sargent WD8606?
If nobody ever needs to get back in through that door, you do not need storeroom function or lever trim. Order the WD8606 with the trim option set to exit device only, or look at a device built exit-only from the start, like the Falcon 25-M-EO wide stile mortise device or the BEST Precision 2301 Series exit only. Keep in mind you also give up the concealed vertical rod latching at head and sill that lets the Sargent hold a pair of doors without a mullion.
19) I do not need keyed lever trim, just push to exit. What is a simpler alternative to the Sargent WD8606?
If no outside trim is needed, an exit only device covers the opening. The Falcon 25-M-EO is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise exit device, exit only, for 1-3/4 inch doors in a 36 inch 3 FT size. The BEST Precision 2301 Series is an exit only mortise device with heavy wrought construction. The Detex 30 Series Advantex is Grade 1 wide stile and device only, exit only, and is not wood door compatible. The Sargent WD8606 can also be ordered without trim - the trim option includes a None choice for exit device only - but it remains a storeroom function concealed vertical rod device, so the door still takes top and bottom rod prep.
20) We need a mortise exit device that takes abuse in a high traffic corridor. How does the Sargent WD8606 compare to the Von Duprin Impact series?
The Von Duprin 9475/9575 Impact Series is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise lock exit device with a recessed push pad, which keeps the actuating surface back from carts and equipment; it is not fire rated. The Sargent WD8606 is a Grade 1 storeroom function wide stile device with a stainless steel top bolt and an 8-3/8 inch by 2-5/8 inch center case, and it is offered in BSP Black Suede Powder Coat and WSP White Suede Powder Coat along with stainless finishes 32 and 32D. Both carry Grade 1; the difference to weigh is the recessed pad geometry of the Impact series against the concealed vertical rod latching and keyed storeroom trim of the WD8606.
21) Which mortise exit device should I specify if I want keyed lever trim supplied with the device rather than ordered separately?
The Sargent WD8606 is ordered with the trim selected as part of the device - ET Trim lever options A, B, E, F, J, L, P and W, or None for exit device only. By contrast the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL is supplied exit only or for use with classroom or passage lever trim that is not included, and the Falcon 25-M-EO, BEST Precision 2301 and Detex 30 Series are exit only devices. If the lever design has to be coordinated with the rest of the openings, selecting the ET lever letter with the WD8606 keeps it on one line.
22) We are standardizing a facility on Grade 1 mortise exit devices. Which of these carry Grade 1?
The Sargent WD8606 is Grade 1. Among the wide stile peers, the Adams Rite 3300 Series, Adams Rite 8300 Series, Corbin Russwin ED5600AL, Detex 30 Series Advantex, Falcon 25-M-EO, Von Duprin 8875-3FT, Von Duprin 9475/9575 Impact Series and Von Duprin 9875-3FT are all Grade 1. In narrow stile, the Adams Rite 8400 Series and Von Duprin 5575-3ft are Grade 1. What separates them for a standardization program is not the grade but the latching method and trim: the WD8606 is the concealed vertical rod storeroom device in the group, and it is offered in 32 through 48 inch sizes with twelve finishes including 10B Dark Oxidized Satin Bronze Oil Rubbed and 32D Satin Stainless Steel.
23) What finishes does the Sargent WD8600 Series exit device come in?
Twelve, and the spread matters if you are matching existing hardware. Stainless in 32 bright and 32D satin covers most commercial corridors. Brass and bronze run 03 bright brass, 04 satin brass, 09 bright bronze, 10 satin bronze, plus four dark oxidized bronze variants (10B oil rubbed, 10BE, 10BL clear coated, and 20D dark statuary lacquered). For painted openings there are BSP black suede and WSP white suede powder coats. If you are standardizing a building, pick one and carry it across the trim as well as the device.
