Sargent 8700 Series Exit Devices

How Sargent 8700 Series Exit Devices Work?

The high-quality and user-friendly 8700 series exit devices are commonly used in classroom functions, storeroom functions, passages, and similar commercial spaces that require higher security. They’re certified ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 standards, UL 10C (Fire) and UL 305 (Panic) listed, suited for single and double door applications, have multiple trim options available, and a two-latching option that uses a pair of metal rods made of brass, bronze, or stainless steel.

These rods, during emergencies, extend vertically and latch at the top and bottom of the door frame. This creates a strong hold and allows for easy outward pushing of the door, allowing quick exits in high-traffic situations. As a leading commercial door hardware brand focused on offering better protection in regions prone to extreme weather conditions, Sargent offers the following variants:

• HC8700: Built to resist hurricane-force winds, offering added security in coastal regions.
• FM8700: A certified tornado-resistant solution used with StormPro Series doors, frames, and hinges offering the ultimate protection for your building in areas susceptible to tornadoes.

8700 Series Trims, Functions, and Options

Pair the 8700 series vertical rod exit devices with Sargent’s 700 series ET trims to add additional functionality to the exit device. For example, pair the exit device with the 704 ET night latch function, 715 ET passage function, 706 ET storeroom function, argent 773/774 electrified trims, and more.

Choose the "12" option for fire-rated, “56” option for electric latch retraction, “55” for Request to Exit, “58” for electric dogging, or many more electrified options.
