Sargent 8713F Lhr 32D Surface Vertical Rod Exit Device

Product Description

The SARGENT 8713F LHR 32D is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit device built for wide stile door applications. It features a wide stile pushpad and accommodates a 36-inch device width on doors up to 84 inches in height. The classroom function allows the latchbolt to be locked or unlocked from the outside using a key, while the inside push bar remains active for egress at all times. Hex key dogging allows the pushpad to be held in the depressed position for high-traffic periods. The Satin Stainless Steel finish provides corrosion resistance suited to demanding environments. This device is configured Left Hand Reverse and is installed by licensed locksmiths or commercial door hardware technicians.

This exit device is intended for commercial and institutional applications where both controlled entry and code-compliant egress are required. Classroom function hardware is commonly specified for schools, universities, government facilities, and healthcare buildings where exterior access control is needed without restricting interior egress. The 84-inch door height compatibility and wide stile pushpad design make it appropriate for aluminum storefront-style frames and heavy-duty commercial hollow metal doors. The surface-mounted vertical rod design engages top and bottom latching points for added security and door alignment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician. Verify door handing before mounting - this unit is configured Left Hand Reverse and is not field-reversible without the correct components. Ensure all electrical power to any integrated access control is disconnected before beginning work. Surface vertical rod devices must be aligned carefully so top and bottom rods engage their respective strikes squarely to ensure proper latching and code-compliant egress per applicable life safety codes.
