Sargent 12-56-8874-J-ETJ-24V Electrified Fire Rated Rim Exit Device, Electric Latch Retraction, Fail Secure Power Off Locks Lever, No Cylinder, For 37-42 Inch Width Door, Less Dogging

The Sargent 12-56-8874-J-ETJ-24V is an electrified fire rated rim exit device engineered for high-traffic commercial openings that require controlled access with reliable egress. Built with electric latch retraction and a fail secure design, the latch stays locked when power is removed, keeping the opening secured during outages. This model pairs the 8800 Series fire rated rim mechanism with the ETJ lever trim in the J design, operates on 24V, and fits doors between 37 and 42 inches wide. Supplied less cylinder and less dogging, it meets the demands of exit control, access control integration, and life-safety code compliance where positive latching is mandatory.

Features

• Electrified rim exit device built for fire rated door assemblies requiring positive latching.
• Electric latch retraction allows remote unlatching for access control and automatic operator integration.
• Fail secure operation keeps the lever locked when power is removed for continuous security.
• ETJ lever trim in the J design provides durable keyed-less exterior control.
• Sized to fit door widths from 37 to 42 inches.
• Supplied less cylinder and less dogging to suit fire rated applications.
• Operates on 24V DC for compatibility with common low-voltage power supplies.

Functional Details

The electric latch retraction function uses an internal motor to withdraw the latch when energized, allowing push-pull free operation or momentary access release. In the fail secure configuration, removing power returns the device to a locked state so the outside lever remains inoperative while free egress is always maintained from the inside.

• Electric Latch Retraction (EL): Latch bolt is electrically retracted to allow momentary or sustained free passage.
• Fail Secure: Outside trim is locked when power is removed.
• Free egress at all times from the inside by depressing the push bar.

Arm Type Details

The ETJ trim is a lever handle designed for the exterior side of the opening. In this 8874 configuration it is controlled electrically, releasing the latch for entry only when the device is energized and remaining locked during power loss.
