Sargent 8710 Surface Vertical Rod Exit Device
The Sargent 8710 is a top-tier Grade 1 Surface Vertical Rod (SVR) exit device engineered for heavy-duty commercial use on single and double doors. Designed to provide two-point latching at the top and bottom of the door frame, the 8710 offers superior security and stability for high-traffic environments. This UL Listed panic and fire-rated hardware is the industry standard for schools, hospitals, and government facilities where life safety and durability are paramount.
Robust Construction and High-Security Design
Built to meet and exceed ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 standards, the 8710 features 1/2" rods constructed from high-quality brass, bronze, or stainless steel. The center case allows for easy adjustability of the rods, ensuring a perfect seal and secure latching even as buildings settle. The device is compatible with UL10C fire-rated doors (when ordered with the 12-prefix) and UL305 panic hardware requirements, providing peace of mind in emergency egress situations.
Versatile Integration and Specialized Options
The Sargent 8710 is remarkably adaptable, fitting wood or metal doors starting at 1-3/4" thickness. For facilities requiring advanced security monitoring, the device can be outfitted with various electric options, including Remote Latch Retraction (56-ELR), Request-to-Exit (55-RX), and Alarm (AL) features. To simplify the installation of these electronic components, the QC12 ElectroLynx connector system is recommended for a fast, reliable "plug-and-play" connection at the hinge.
