Sargent 12-56-8873-F-ETJ-24V Electrified Fire Rated Rim Exit Device, Electric Latch Retraction, Fail Safe Power Off Unlocks Lever, No Cylinder, For 33-36 Inch Width Door, Less Dogging

The Sargent 12-56-8873-F-ETJ-24V is a fire rated rim exit device built for high-traffic openings that require electrified access control. This unit features electric latch retraction (ELR), allowing the latch to be pulled back electronically for remote operation, controlled access, and integration with card readers or push-button stations. Configured as fail safe, a loss of power unlocks the ETJ lever trim for secure egress. Designed for doors measuring 33 to 36 inches wide, it ships without a cylinder and without dogging, making it ideal for fire-rated applications where mechanical hold-open is not permitted. The 56- prefix denotes the 24V electric latch retraction option.

The 8873 function provides night latch operation with electric latch retraction. The latch retracts electrically to allow free passage when energized, while the ETJ trim controls access from the exterior and retracts the latch by key or electronic release.

• Key retracts latch for entrance.
• Latchbolt is retracted electrically for momentary or continuous operation.
• Lever handle rigid, no retraction of latchbolt.

Arm Type Details

This device uses the ETJ escutcheon lever trim, a night latch configuration. In its standard state the lever is rigid and does not retract the latch; access is gained by key or by electric latch retraction. When power is lost, the fail safe design releases the lever, permitting entry.
