Sargent 16-70-8810-J Rim Exit Device, Exit Only, Less Trim, For 37-42" Width Door, SFIC, Less Core, Cylinder Dogging, Grade 1, Field Reversible

The Sargent 16-70-8810-J is a Grade 1 rim exit device engineered for dependable performance on commercial and institutional doors measuring 37" to 42" in width. Configured for exit-only operation, this device ships less trim, making it ideal for openings that require secure egress without outside control. It is prepped for a small format interchangeable core (SFIC) and supplied less core, giving you flexibility to integrate your existing keying system. The cylinder dogging feature lets authorized users hold the pushbar in a retracted state for push-pull operation during high-traffic periods. Field reversible for left- or right-hand doors, it simplifies inventory and installation across projects.

Features

• Grade 1 rim exit device built for heavy-duty commercial applications.
• Exit-only function provides secure, reliable egress without outside trim.
• Sized for doors ranging from 37" to 42" in width.
• Prepped for small format interchangeable core (SFIC), supplied less core.

Functional Details

The cylinder dogging mechanism uses a key-operated cylinder to mechanically hold the pushbar depressed and the latch retracted, converting the door to push-pull operation during periods of heavy use. Turning the key restores normal latching function.

• Cylinder dogging requires a mortise cylinder (ordered separately) to retain the pushbar in the dogged position.

Included Components

This configuration includes the rim exit device chassis and pushbar assembly. It ships less trim and less core; the SFIC core and any required cylinders must be ordered separately to complete the installation.
