Sargent 55-PE8810F 32D Rim Exit Device 36 in Dummy Function

Product Description

The SARGENT 55-PE8810F 32D is a Grade 1 rim exit device built for commercial and institutional door applications. The wide stile pushpad design spans 36 inches and is configured for dummy function, meaning the device operates the latch mechanism without actuating a separate lockset or latch bolt. Finished in satin stainless steel (32D), the unit is compatible with wood, metal, and aluminum door construction. It includes hex key dogging to hold the pushpad depressed for high-traffic passage, and a request-to-exit (REX) feature for integration with access control systems. Licensed locksmiths, door hardware installers, and commercial contractors are the primary installing trades.

This rim exit device is suited for single commercial doors in offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and light industrial buildings where code-compliant egress hardware is required. The dummy function configuration is typically used on inactive leaves of a pair or on doors where no separate latch bolt engagement is needed. The satin stainless steel finish provides corrosion resistance appropriate for interior and sheltered exterior openings. The request-to-exit output supports low-voltage access control panel integration for monitoring or unlocking remote electric strikes and magnetic locks.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed door hardware professional or commercial contractor familiar with ANSI exit device standards and applicable local building codes. Verify that the door preparation and frame meet the manufacturer strike and case mounting requirements before installation. Disconnect any connected access control wiring and confirm the door is secured before servicing or replacing the device. Hex key dogging must not be engaged in locations where fire or life-safety codes require the exit device to remain latched.
