Sargent 8888 Reversible Rim Exit Device
The Sargent 8888 is a heavy-duty, Grade 1 Reversible Rim Exit Device designed for maximum versatility and reliability in commercial environments. Engineered for standard-width stile applications on wood or metal doors, this multi-function panic bar provides a high level of security with remarkably quiet operation. Whether you are outfitting a single door or a double door with a mullion, the 8888 is the industry standard for life safety compliance and long-term durability.
Grade 1 Strength and Universal Design
Certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 standards, the Sargent 8800 Series is built to withstand high-traffic use in schools, hospitals, and office buildings. The device features a 3/4" throw stainless steel latchbolt for superior engagement and protection. As a reversible rim exit device, it can be easily field-configured for either left or right-hand doors, simplifying the ordering process and installation for maintenance teams and contractors alike.
Advanced Security and Electrified Integration
The 8888 is more than just a mechanical exit bar; it is a platform for modern access control. It is UL10C Fire Rated (when ordered with the 12-prefix) and UL305 Panic Listed. For integrated security, this device can be equipped with various electrified options, including Remote Latch Retraction (56-), Request-to-Exit monitoring (55-), and Electric Dogging (58-). To ensure a high-quality "plug-and-play" installation, the QC12 ElectroLynx connector system is recommended for the associated hinge to provide a seamless power connection.
