Sargent 56-8873-J-ETL-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-ETL-24V is a Grade 1 electrified rim exit device built for demanding commercial openings up to 42 inches wide. It combines Electric Latch Retraction (ELR) with a fail-safe electrified ETL trim, so a loss of power unlocks the lever for free passage while the latch can be retracted electrically for controlled access, remote release, or integration with access control systems. The J option provides hex key dogging for mechanical push-pull operation during high-traffic periods. Running on 24V, this device offers dependable security, smooth egress, and clean aesthetics for schools, healthcare, office, and institutional facilities that require reliable life-safety performance.
