The Sargent 8774-G-ETJ-84-24V is a heavy-duty electrified surface vertical rod exit device engineered for tall commercial openings measuring 43–48" wide and 84" high. Built around Sargent's rugged 80 Series platform, this fail-secure unit uses 24V electrification to control the outside lever trim, keeping the opening locked during a power loss for enhanced security. Paired with the ETJ (J design) escutcheon trim, it delivers reliable access control while maintaining free egress at all times. Ideal for institutional, educational, and commercial facilities, it offers Grade 1 performance, durable construction, and smooth, dependable operation for high-traffic environments.

Functional Details

In fail-secure mode, the device requires power to unlock the outside lever trim. When voltage is applied, the outside trim becomes operable for entry; when power is lost, the outside trim remains locked while the push bar continues to allow immediate egress from the inside.

• Fail secure: outside trim locked when de-energized.
• 24V DC operation.
• Free egress from inside at all times.
• Electric latch retraction / trim control via access control.

Arm Type Details

This model uses surface-mounted vertical rods that extend to the top and bottom of the door, engaging strikes at both points. This dual-latching configuration provides secure holding and smooth, synchronized retraction when the push bar is depressed.

Included Components

The device ships with the surface vertical rod exit chassis, top and bottom latch assemblies, vertical rods sized for 84" doors, and the ETJ lever escutcheon trim.
