Sargent 56-8873-J-ETL-12V 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-ETL-12V is a Grade 1 electrified rim exit device built for demanding commercial openings measuring 37 to 42 inches wide. This model combines electric latch retraction (ELR) with a fail-safe electrified trim, so a loss of power automatically unlocks the outside lever for safe egress and controlled access. The ETL lever trim and J escutcheon design deliver durable daily performance, while hex key dogging allows the device to be held in a dogged position for push/pull operation during high-traffic periods. Operating on 12V, it integrates easily with access control, card readers, and remote release systems, making it a dependable choice for schools, offices, and institutional facilities.
