Sargent 8813-J-ETJ Rim Exit Device, Classroom Function, ET Control, J Lever, 37-42 Inch Door, Hex Key Dogging, Grade 1, Less Cylinder
The Sargent 8813-J-ETJ is a Grade 1 rim exit device built for demanding commercial and institutional openings. Designed for doors measuring 37 to 42 inches wide, it pairs a dependable push-rail mechanism with classroom function ET trim and the J lever design for everyday access control. The hex key dogging feature lets staff hold the latch retracted for push/pull operation during high-traffic periods, while the less cylinder configuration allows you to specify your preferred mortise cylinder for keyed entry. With its rugged construction and ANSI/BHMA certification, this device delivers reliable life-safety egress for schools, offices, and healthcare facilities.
Features
- Grade 1 rim exit device engineered for heavy-duty commercial use.
- Sized for door widths from 37 to 42 inches.
- Classroom (ET) function with the J lever trim for controlled access.
- Hex key dogging holds the pushbar depressed for latch retraction during peak traffic.
- Supplied less cylinder so you can install the mortise cylinder of your choice.
- Positive latching for dependable door security and code-compliant egress.
Functional Details
In classroom function, the outside lever is locked and unlocked with a key, while free egress from the inside is always available by pressing the pushbar. This allows an instructor to secure the door from the corridor side without entering the room.
- Classroom function: Outside lever locked or unlocked by key. Latchbolt retracted by lever when unlocked. Free egress at all times by pressing pushpad.
Arm Type Details
The ET trim uses the J lever, a return-style lever that meets accessibility requirements and provides smooth, comfortable operation. The lever retracts the latch when the outside is unlocked, giving controlled entry while inside egress remains unaffected.
Included Components
This assembly includes the 8813 rim exit device chassis with hex key dogging and the ETJ (J lever) outside trim. A mortise cylinder is not included and must be ordered separately.
