Sargent 12-56-8873-J-ETJ-24V Electrified Fire Rated Rim Exit Device, Electric Latch Retraction, Fail Safe Power Off Unlocks Lever, No Cylinder, For 37-42 Inch Width Door, Less Dogging

The Sargent 12-56-8873-J-ETJ-24V is a heavy-duty electrified rim exit device built for fire-rated openings on doors measuring 37 to 42 inches wide. Featuring electric latch retraction (ELR), it allows remote unlatching for controlled access and integration with access control systems, while the 24V fail-safe configuration automatically unlocks the outside lever when power is lost—an ideal choice for egress safety. The J escutcheon trim with ETJ lever provides reliable keyed access through the exterior, and the fire-rated construction means no mechanical dogging. Trusted on commercial, institutional, and high-traffic entries, this device combines dependable Grade 1 performance with smooth, quiet latch retraction for everyday use.

Functional Details

Electric latch retraction energizes a motor or solenoid that pulls the latch bolt inward, allowing the door to be pushed or pulled open without operating the push rail. When paired with the fail-safe trim, removing power releases the outside lever so the door can be opened from the exterior, supporting controlled access and emergency egress.

• Electric latch retraction allows remote unlatching of the exit device.
• Fail safe (power off) unlocks the outside lever.
• Fire rated device supplied less dogging.

Arm Type Details

This unit uses the ETJ lever trim mounted on the J escutcheon plate. The lever provides exterior access and, in this fail-safe configuration, remains locked when powered and unlocks automatically upon loss of power.

Included Components
