The Sargent 12-8773-J-ETJ-96-24V is an electrified fire rated surface vertical rod exit device built for heavy traffic commercial openings that demand both security and life-safety compliance. Configured as fail safe, it releases the latch on power loss to allow free egress and access, making it ideal for stairwells and controlled-access doors. This unit fits 37"–42" wide openings on tall 96" height doors and operates on 24V. Paired with the J lever design and ETJ electrified trim, it delivers reliable remote control from an access system while maintaining the durability Sargent's 80 Series is known for.
