Sargent 55-8813-G-ETJ Rim Exit Device, Classroom Function, Request To Exit, ET Control, J Lever, 43"-48" Door Width, Hex Key Dogging, Grade 1, Less Cylinder
The Sargent 55-8813-G-ETJ is a Grade 1 rim exit device built for demanding commercial openings measuring 43 to 48 inches wide. Configured for classroom function with ET control trim and the J lever design, it allows key-controlled access from the outside while always permitting free egress through the push rail. The integrated request-to-exit switch (the 55 prefix) provides a signal to access control or monitoring systems, making it a solid choice for schools, offices, and other security-conscious facilities. Hex key dogging holds the latch retracted for push-pull operation during high-traffic periods. This unit ships less cylinder, giving you the flexibility to match your existing keying system.
