Sargent MD8610 Wide Stile Concealed Vertical Rod Exit Device - Metal Door
The Sargent MD8610 is a premier Grade 1 Concealed Vertical Rod (CVR) exit device specifically engineered for standard wide stile hollow metal doors. By housing the vertical rods within the door itself, the MD8610 provides maximum security against tampering and a clean, unobtrusive aesthetic. This heavy-duty panic bar is the perfect choice for high-traffic commercial environments, including hospitals, government buildings, and schools, where durability and architectural design must go hand-in-hand.
High-Security Latching and Life Safety
Designed for 84" (7'0") door heights, the Sargent MD8600 Series is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 standards, ensuring it can withstand extreme use and abuse. This model provides secure two-point latching at the top and bottom of the frame for ultimate door control. It is UL10C Fire Rated (when ordered with the 12-prefix) and UL305 Panic Listed, making it a versatile solution for meeting strict life safety and fire codes. Additionally, the MD8610 is available with Hurricane-Resistant (HC) certifications for coastal installations.
Seamless Integration and Advanced Electronics
The MD8610 is designed for versatility, fitting standard 4-1/2" stiles on hollow metal doors. For high-performance security integration, this device supports several electric options, such as Remote Latch Retraction (56-), Request-to-Exit (55-), and Electric Dogging (58-). To ensure a simplified and reliable power connection, we recommend using the QC12 Electrolynx connector on the associated hinge for a "plug-and-play" electrical setup.
