The Sargent 56-LC-8706-G-ETJ-96 is a heavy-duty electrified surface vertical rod exit device engineered for wide, tall openings measuring 43" to 48" in width and up to 96" in height. Built for storeroom function with the ETJ lever trim, this unit provides secure, always-locked exterior access while allowing free egress at all times. The "56" prefix indicates an electric latch retraction configuration, and the "LC" designation means the device ships less cylinder, giving installers the flexibility to match existing keying systems. Ideal for commercial and institutional environments, it combines reliable panic hardware performance with the access control capabilities demanded in modern facilities.
