Sargent WD8613E 10BE – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the WD8613 handed, and how do I tell which hand to order?
Handing is required on this one. The WD8613 is ordered either RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse). Stand outside the opening, on the pull side: if the hinges are on your right the door is right hand reverse. There is no field-reversible option here, so get it right on the order. If you need a non-handed mortise device instead, the Von Duprin 9875 wide stile mortise exit device is listed as non-handed.
2) What does classroom function mean on the Sargent WD8613 exit device?
Classroom function means the outside lever trim is locked or unlocked by key from the outside, and while locked the lever will not retract the latch, so entry needs the key. Push from the inside always releases and lets people out. The WD8613 carries this function from the factory, which is why it shows up on school and institutional openings where staff control outside access but egress can never be blocked.
3) Do I need to order lever trim separately with the WD8613?
Trim is part of the order. You choose an ET trim lever style (A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W), or select exit device only if the opening does not need outside entry. For classroom function to actually do anything you want a lever trim, since that is what the key controls from the outside. Exit device only makes the opening egress from the inside with no outside operation at all.
4) Can I hold the WD8613 latch retracted for daytime traffic?
Yes, with limits. Hex key dogging is standard on non-fire rated WD8600 devices, and cylinder dogging is available as an option with a #41 cylinder supplied. If the device goes on a fire rated opening, mechanical dogging is not permitted, and you would use electric dogging (option 58) or remote dogging / latch retraction (option 56) tied to the fire alarm instead.
5) Will the WD8613 work on a fire rated opening, and what strikes come with it?
The device ships with both a 650 top strike and a 606 bottom strike, and those strikes are rated for panic and fire rated applications. The top bolt is stainless steel. Note that on a fire rated device you lose mechanical dogging, so plan on electric dogging if you need the latch held back during the day.
6) Can I use the Sargent WD8613 on a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
No. The WD8613 is a wide stile device and requires a minimum 4-1/2 inch stile width on a hollow metal door. For narrow stile aluminum openings, the Adams Rite 8400 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile mortise exit device for aluminum doors, and the Von Duprin 5575 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar mortise exit device in a 3 ft size for 1-3/4 inch doors, field reversible.
7) I need a mortise exit device for a wood door - is the Sargent WD8613 the right choice?
The WD8613 is engineered for hollow metal doors with a 4-1/2 inch minimum stile. For wood doors, the Adams Rite 3300 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile fire-rated mortise exit device for wood and hollow metal doors, and the Adams Rite 8300 Series is the Grade 1 wide stile life-safety, non fire rated version for wood and hollow metal. The Von Duprin 8875, 9875 and the Detex 30 Series are all listed as not wood door compatible.
8) What is the closest Grade 1 mortise exit device to the Sargent WD8613 that takes classroom lever trim?
The Corbin Russwin ED5600AL is the nearest match in intent: it is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise exit device rated 3 hour fire that is sold exit only or for use with classroom or passage lever trim, with a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Sargent WD8613 is a Grade 1 classroom function wide stile device and can be ordered with ET lever trim in A, B, E, F, J, L, P or W lever styles or as exit device only. Confirm door thickness first, since the WD8613 covers 1-3/4 inch through 2-1/4 inch doors.
9) If I do not need outside lever trim, what mortise exit device should I use instead of the Sargent WD8613?
For an exit only opening, the Falcon 25-M-EO is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise exit device built exit only for 1-3/4 inch doors in a 36 inch, 3 ft size, and the BEST Precision 2301 is a mortise exit device offered exit only with heavy wrought construction. The Detex 30 Series Advantex is another Grade 1 wide stile mortise device supplied as device only. The Sargent WD8613 can also be ordered with the trim option set to exit device only if you want to stay in the WD8600 Series.
10) Which wide stile mortise exit devices are fire rated if the Sargent WD8613 opening is on a labeled door?
Among the comparable wide stile devices, the Adams Rite 3300 Series is fire rated and the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL is a 3 hour fire rated Grade 1 mortise device. The Adams Rite 8300, Von Duprin 8875, 9875 and 9475/9575 are listed as not fire rated. The Sargent WD8613 includes 650 top and 606 bottom strikes rated for panic and fire applications, and note that hex key dogging is standard only on non-fire rated devices.
11) Why choose a concealed vertical rod device over a rim exit device on a pair of doors?
A concealed vertical rod device latches at the head and the sill with the rods hidden inside the door, so you get two-point latching on a pair with no center mullion and nothing exposed to catch carts or vandalism. A rim device latches only at the strike jamb and normally needs a mullion on a pair. The trade-off is prep: concealed rods require a door built for them, which is why the WD8613 is specified for hollow metal doors with a 4-1/2 inch minimum stile. If the doors are not prepped for concealed rods, a surface-applied or mortise device like the Von Duprin 9875 wide stile mortise is the practical route.
12) How high does the WD8613 mount, and can it go lower for an elementary school?
Standard centerline is 41 inches from finished floor. For elementary schools and accessibility, a 38 inch centerline is available when used with the 100 Series Auxiliary Control. Also allow for push bar projection when you check clearances: 3 inches neutral, 2-1/8 inches depressed.
13) What is the tallest door the Sargent WD8600 concealed vertical rod device covers?
Door openings up to 120 inches maximum height. If you specify the HC or WS options, the maximum drops to 96 inches. Above those heights the device is not the right pick for the opening.
14) What else could I buy instead of the Sargent WD8613 if I need classroom lever trim on a wide stile door?
The Corbin Russwin ED5600AL is the closest alternative on function: Grade 1, wide stile, 3 hour fire rated, and built to accept passage or classroom lever trim, though the trim is not included and it lists 1-3/4 inch door thickness only. If you only need egress with no outside entry, the Falcon 25-M-EO and the BEST Precision 2301 are exit-only mortise devices, and the Detex 30 Series Advantex is Grade 1 wide stile exit only. Those exit-only devices will not give you the key-controlled outside lever that classroom function is for.
15) I'm standardizing exit devices across a school. Is the WD8613 rated for high traffic openings?
It is a Grade 1 device, the heaviest of the three ANSI/BHMA grades and the one written into most institutional specs for high-cycle openings. The center case measures 8-3/8 x 2-5/8 inches and the top bolt is stainless steel. Finishes run wide enough to match an existing building standard: 03, 04, 09, 10, 10B, 10BE, 10BL, 20D, 32, 32D plus black and white suede powder coat.
16) What is the difference between the Sargent WD8613 touchpad device and a crossbar mortise exit device like the Von Duprin 8875?
The WD8613 uses a pushbar with 3 inch neutral and 2-1/8 inch depressed projection and is ordered by hand, RHR or LHR. The Von Duprin 8875-3FT is a wide stile crossbar mortise exit device, Grade 1, non-handed, in a 36 inch size for 1-3/4 inch doors and not wood door compatible. The Von Duprin 9875-3FT is a smooth case wide stile mortise device, also Grade 1 and non-handed. If the building is standardized on crossbar aesthetics, those are the matches; if it is standardized on touchpad rails, stay with the WD8600 Series.
17) Is there a mortise exit device made for high abuse openings as an alternative to the Sargent WD8613?
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 actuator out of the path of carts and traffic; it is listed as not fire rated. The Sargent WD8613 is a Grade 1 wide stile device with a stainless steel top bolt and an 8-3/8 inch by 2-5/8 inch center case, and its 650 top and 606 bottom strikes are rated for both panic and fire applications.
18) Do any alternatives to the Sargent WD8613 cover door widths wider than 36 inches?
The Sargent WD8613 is ordered in 32, 36, 42 and 48 inch sizes with factory-cut rails covering 24 inch to 48 inch door widths, so it reaches the widest openings directly. Several comparables are catalogued at a single 3 ft length, including the Falcon 25-M-EO-3FT, the Von Duprin 8875-3FT, the Von Duprin 9875-3FT and the Von Duprin 5575-3ft, so for a 42 or 48 inch leaf the WD8613 sizes are the straightforward path.
