Sargent 56-8874-J-ETB-24V Electrified Rim Exit Device, Electric Latch Retraction, Fail Secure Power Off Locks Lever, No Cylinder, For 37-42 Inch Width Door, Hex Key Dogging

The Sargent 56-8874-J-ETB-24V is an electrified rim exit device built for high-traffic commercial openings that demand reliable access control. Featuring Electric Latch Retraction (ELR), this device retracts the latch electronically to allow remote or scheduled access, making it ideal for integration with card readers, timers, and building automation systems. It operates in a fail secure configuration, meaning the ETB lever trim remains locked when power is removed to maintain security during outages. Designed for doors measuring 37 to 42 inches wide, it includes the J (ETB) lever trim and hex key dogging for convenient mechanical hold-open. No cylinder is supplied, offering flexibility for your preferred keying system.

• Electric latch retraction allows remote unlatching of the device.
• Fail secure: outside lever is locked when power is removed.
• Requires filtered and regulated 24VDC power supply.

Arm Type Details

This unit is supplied with the ETB (J) lever trim, a straightforward, robust lever that controls access from the outside of the opening. With the fail secure design, the lever remains locked unless the device is energized or dogged.
