Sargent 56-8873-J-ETJ-24V Electrified Rim Exit Device, Electric Latch Retraction, Fail Safe Power Off Unlocks Lever, For 37-42 Inch Width Door, Hex Key Dogging

The Sargent 56-8873-J-ETJ-24V is a Grade 1 electrified rim exit device built for demanding commercial and institutional openings. Designed to fit doors between 37 and 42 inches wide, it combines electric latch retraction (ELR) for remote access control with a fail-safe configuration, so when power is removed the ETJ lever trim unlocks to allow entry. The unit runs on 24V DC and features hex key dogging for secure mechanical hold-open when needed. With its rugged construction and ETJ lever design, this device is well suited for facilities requiring reliable exit security alongside integrated electrified access control.

Functional Details

Electric latch retraction pulls the latchbolt back electrically, allowing the door to be pushed or pulled open without actuating the pushbar. In the fail-safe mode, loss of power releases the lever trim so the opening remains accessible during a power interruption.

• Electric Latch Retraction (ELR) retracts the latch bolt electrically for remote access control.
• Fail Safe: power off unlocks the outside lever for entry.
• Hex key dogging holds the pushbar depressed and latch retracted for push/pull operation.

Arm Type Details

The ETJ trim provides a lever-style outside operator keyed for controlled access. When energized in fail-safe mode the lever is active for entry control, and removing power unlocks the lever to permit free entry.

Included Components

This device ships as a complete rim exit device with the ETJ lever trim, electric latch retraction module, and hex key dogging hardware for installation on 37–42 inch wide doors.
