Sargent 56-LC-8706-F-ETJ-84 Electrified Surface Vertical Rod Exit Device, Storeroom, For 33-36" Width, 84" Ht Door, Less Cylinder

The Sargent 56-LC-8706-F-ETJ-84 is an electrified surface vertical rod exit device built for demanding commercial openings up to 33-36" wide and 84" tall. Configured for storeroom function with the ETJ lever trim, this device keeps the exterior lever locked until released by an authorized key or electric signal, while free egress is always available from inside. The 56 prefix identifies the electric latch retraction feature, and the fire-rated (F) design makes it suitable for fire door assemblies. Supplied less cylinder (LC) so you can match your existing keying system, it combines dependable security with the rugged performance Sargent is known for in high-traffic environments.

Features

• Surface-mounted vertical rod design provides secure top and bottom latching for added resistance at the opening.
• Electric latch retraction (56 prefix) allows remote unlatching and integration with access control systems.
• Storeroom function keeps the outside lever locked at all times while permitting free egress from the inside.
• Fire-rated (F) construction is approved for use on fire door assemblies.
• ETJ lever trim offers durable, ADA-compliant operation for everyday use.

• Furnished less cylinder so you can key it to an existing system.

Functional Details

The storeroom function (type 06) locks the outside trim continuously, requiring a key or electric signal to retract the latch for entry, while the push bar always allows immediate exit. Electric latch retraction energizes an internal motor or solenoid to pull back the latches, enabling momentary or sustained remote access and dogging through a connected system.

• Outside lever is always locked.
• Latch is retracted by key or by electrical actuation.
• Free egress at all times by depressing the push pad.

Arm Type Details

This unit uses a surface vertical rod configuration, with rods running along the door face to engage latch points at the top and bottom of the frame. This layout distributes locking force across the full height of the door, improving security and alignment on tall openings without requiring concealed routing.

Included Components

The device ships with the surface vertical rod chassis, top and bottom latch assemblies, the ETJ lever trim, strikes, and mounting hardware. A cylinder is not included and must be ordered separately to complete keying.
