Sargent 12-MD8610F Lhr Bsp Concealed Vertical Rod Exit Device

Product Description

The SARGENT 12-MD8610F LHR BSP is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod exit device designed for wide stile door applications requiring reliable, code-compliant egress hardware. Built for a 36-inch door width and rated for door heights up to 96 inches, this unit features a wide stile pushpad that activates the top and bottom rod latching mechanism simultaneously on push. The black suede powder coat finish provides a durable, low-sheen surface suited to high-traffic commercial environments. Less dogging configuration means the latch cannot be held in the retracted position, a common requirement for fire-rated openings. The device is rated fire-rated, making it appropriate for labeled fire door assemblies where exit hardware must meet strict egress and fire code requirements.

This exit device is intended for commercial and institutional single door applications where exit-only egress control is required. The left hand reverse (LHR) handing designation applies to the specific door configuration and must be confirmed against the door handing before installation. Wide stile pushpad construction suits aluminum storefront and hollow metal doors commonly found in schools, office buildings, healthcare facilities, and public assembly spaces. It is installed by licensed finish hardware contractors or commercial door and frame specialists.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified finish hardware contractor or commercial door hardware specialist familiar with ANSI, NFPA 80, and local fire code requirements. Confirm door handing (LHR) against the physical door before installation, as incorrect handing will prevent proper function. Ensure the door and frame are rated for the hardware and that all top and bottom rod strikes are properly aligned before securing the device. Do not modify the rod hardware or bypass the latching mechanism on fire-rated assemblies.
