Sargent 70-713-8-ETME Exit Device Trim, Key Locks/Unlocks Lever, ET Control, ME Lever, SFIC, Less Core, For 80 Series Exit Devices, Grade 1
The Sargent 70-713-8-ETME is a Grade 1 exit device trim engineered for use with Sargent 80 Series exit devices. Built around the ET control with the ME lever design, this trim allows a key to lock or unlock the lever for flexible, controlled access. It accepts a small format interchangeable core (SFIC) and ships less core, giving facility managers the freedom to match the trim to an existing keying system. Durable construction and a clean lever profile make it well suited for commercial entrances, institutional buildings, and other high-traffic openings where security and reliable operation are essential.
