Functional Details

No Cylinder. 73 Function: Electrified ET Trim - Fail Safe. Power off unlocks the lever; no cylinder is included.

This device uses electric latch retraction to momentarily withdraw the latchbolts when energized, allowing remote and controlled entry. In its fail-safe configuration, loss of power releases the trim so the door can be opened from the outside, prioritizing access during power interruptions while maintaining free egress at all times from the inside.

• Fail-safe: outside trim unlocked when de-energized.
• 12V DC operation.
• Fire-rated for labeled openings.

Included Components

The device ships with the G (ETL) electrified trim, top and bottom vertical rod assemblies, strikes, and mounting hardware required for installation on compatible fire-rated door openings.
