This model fits doors measuring 37 to 42 inches wide and features cylinder dogging for mechanical hold-back of the latch. Paired with the ET control trim and J lever, it ships with an LA keyway cylinder keyed different, delivering reliable performance and long-term durability for high-traffic environments.

Functional Details

The 8804 night latch function provides secure one-way access: the exit device always allows free egress from the inside, while the outside trim lever remains locked and is only operable with a key. Cylinder dogging uses a keyed cylinder to hold the push bar in the retracted position for periods of free passage.

• Night Latch (NL) – Key retracts latch. Push pad always active for free egress.
• Cylinder Dogging – Key operated cylinder dogging holds the pushpad depressed and the latch retracted for push/pull operation.

Arm Type Details

The ETJ designation refers to the ET control trim paired with the J lever. This escutcheon-style trim provides a durable mounting platform for the lever, which rotates to retract the latch when unlocked by key, offering a balance of security and ease of use on exterior openings.

Included Components

This device includes the rim exit chassis, ET control trim with J lever, and an LA keyway cylinder keyed different for cylinder dogging and night latch operation.
