Sargent 56-8873-G-ETJ-12V Electrified Rim Exit Device, Electric Latch Retraction, Fail Safe Power Off Unlocks Lever, For 43-48 Inch Width Door, Hex Key Dogging

The Sargent 56-8873-G-ETJ-12V is a heavy-duty electrified rim exit device built for demanding commercial openings that require both secure egress and controlled access. This Grade 1 device combines Electric Latch Retraction (ELR) with a fail-safe electrified ETJ lever trim, so the latch can be retracted remotely for momentary or sustained access while the outside lever unlocks whenever power is removed. Designed for wide doors measuring 43 to 48 inches, it operates on 12V DC and includes hex key dogging for convenient mechanical hold-open. With its durable construction and ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 rating, it's an ideal choice for schools, healthcare facilities, and high-traffic entryways.

Features

• Electric Latch Retraction (ELR) allows remote, momentary, or sustained latch retraction for access control integration.
• Fail-safe design unlocks the outside lever automatically when power is lost, supporting code-compliant egress.
• Sized for wide doors from 43 to 48 inches in width.
• Operates on 12V DC power for compatibility with common access control systems.
• Hex key dogging holds the latch retracted for push/pull operation during high-traffic periods.
• ETJ (G) lever trim provides a durable, ergonomic outside control.
• ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 rated for heavy commercial use.

Functional Details

The 8873 functions as a night latch device with electric latch retraction. Energizing the ELR solenoid retracts the latch electrically for free entry, while the fail-safe electrified trim releases the lever on power loss. Mechanical egress through the push bar is always available regardless of electrical status.

• Electric Latch Retraction (ELR) for remote operation and access control.
• Fail Safe: power off unlocks the lever for entry.
• Key retracts latch bolt and unlocks/locks outside trim.
• Free egress at all times via the push rail.

Arm Type Details

This unit uses the ETJ escutcheon lever trim (designated G) on the exterior. The lever controls latch retraction when authorized, and in the fail-safe configuration the lever becomes free when power is removed, allowing entry during a power interruption.

Included Components

The device ships as a complete rim exit assembly with the electrified ELR mechanism, ETJ lever trim, mounting hardware, and hex key dogging provisions for the specified door width.
