The Sargent 8774-J-ETB-84-12V is a heavy-duty electrified surface vertical rod exit device built for demanding commercial openings up to 84 inches tall and 37 to 42 inches wide. It features fail secure electric latch retraction operating on 12 volts, which keeps the outside trim locked during a power loss—an ideal setup for access-controlled entrances where security matters most. The device combines the J pushpad with ETB electrified lever trim for reliable, controlled entry, while two-point vertical rod latching secures the top and bottom of the door. As part of the proven 8700 series, it delivers dependable, code-compliant performance across institutional, educational, and high-traffic commercial settings.

Functional Details

• Fail Secure (Electrically Locked): Outside trim is locked when no power is applied and unlocked when power is applied.
• Free egress at all times from the inside pushpad regardless of power status.
