Sargent 70-704-ETMJ Exit Device Trim, Key Retracts Latch, ET Control, MJ Lever, SFIC, Less Core, For 80 Series Exit Devices, Grade 1
The Sargent 70-704-ETMJ exit device trim delivers reliable, key-controlled access for commercial openings equipped with Sargent 80 Series exit devices. Built to Grade 1 standards, this ET control trim features the MJ lever design and a small format interchangeable core (SFIC) housing shipped less core, giving facility managers the flexibility to install their preferred keying system. The key-retracts-latch function allows authorized users to withdraw the latch and gain entry from the outside, making it ideal for schools, healthcare facilities, offices, and other high-traffic environments where secure, durable hardware is essential for everyday performance.

Functional Details
The 704 (ET) function operates as a key-retracts-latch trim. Inserting and turning the key retracts the latchbolt, allowing the door to be pulled open from the outside while the exit device continues to provide free egress from the interior.
- Key retracts latch for entrance.
- Exit device provides free egress at all times.
Arm Type Details
This trim uses the MJ lever, a contoured return-style lever that meets accessibility requirements and provides a comfortable, secure grip. The lever itself remains rigid and does not operate the latch; entry is controlled solely by the key.
Included Components
The trim assembly includes the ET escutcheon, MJ lever, SFIC housing, and standard mounting hardware. A compatible small format interchangeable core must be ordered separately.
