Sargent MD8610F Lhr 32D Concealed Vertical Rod Exit Bar

Product Description

The SARGENT MD8610F LHR 32D is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod exit bar designed for wide stile door applications requiring a high-cycle, code-compliant egress solution. Built to accommodate a 36-inch device width and door heights up to 96 inches, this unit uses a wide stile pushpad that activates top and bottom latch bolts through an internal vertical rod mechanism concealed within the door. The satin stainless steel finish provides corrosion resistance in high-traffic environments. Hex key dogging allows the latch to be held in the retracted position for free egress during business hours without requiring a key cylinder operation each time.

This exit bar is configured for exit-only function, meaning no outside entry hardware is included. The left hand reverse (LHR) handing suits doors that are left-hand reverse in swing. It is appropriate for commercial and institutional buildings including schools, hospitals, office buildings, and assembly occupancies where IBC and NFPA 101 life-safety egress requirements apply. Installation is typically performed by a licensed locksmith or commercial door hardware contractor as part of a new installation or retrofit on a wide stile aluminum or hollow metal door frame.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified commercial door hardware technician or licensed locksmith familiar with vertical rod exit device alignment and adjustment. Power down any electrified hardware in the door before beginning work, and verify door handing before ordering or mounting. Ensure top and bottom rod lengths are properly set and latches engage strikes flush with the frame. Reference ANSI A156.3 and applicable local fire and building codes for exit device installation requirements.
