Sargent 56-8874-J-ETJ-12V 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-ETJ-12V is a heavy-duty electrified rim exit device built for high-traffic commercial openings that require remote access control. This Grade 1 device features Electric Latch Retraction (ELR), allowing the latch to be pulled back electronically for momentary or sustained free access, while the J-ETJ lever trim provides reliable keyed entry from the outside. Configured as fail secure, the outside lever remains locked when power is removed, maintaining security during a power loss. Designed for doors 37 to 42 inches wide and operating on 12V, it includes hex key dogging and ships without a cylinder, making it a flexible choice for access-controlled entrances.
