Sargent 8873-F-ETL-24V Rim Exit Device, Fail Safe Power Off Unlocks Lever, ET Control, L Lever, No Cylinder, 33-36" Dr Width, Hex Key Dogging, 24VAC/DC Electrified, Grade 1

The Sargent 8873-F-ETL-24V is a Grade 1 electrified rim exit device built for demanding commercial openings that require controlled access alongside reliable egress. Designed for doors measuring 33 to 36 inches wide, this unit uses an ET trim control with an L lever and operates on 24VAC/DC power. It is configured as fail safe, meaning that when power is removed the outside lever unlocks to allow entry—an ideal setup for access-controlled and life-safety applications. Hex key dogging holds the pushbar in the depressed position for push/pull operation during high-traffic periods, while the no-cylinder configuration lets you specify your own keying. It ships without a cylinder for installer flexibility.

Features

• Grade 1 rated construction for heavy-duty commercial use and long service life.
• Fail safe operation unlocks the outside lever when power is removed for secure, code-compliant egress.
• 24VAC/DC electrified function compatible with common access control systems.
• ET control with L lever trim for comfortable, ADA-friendly operation.
• Sized for doors from 33 to 36 inches in width.
• Hex key dogging allows the device to be held retracted for push/pull use.
• Supplied without a cylinder so you can match existing keying.

Functional Details

The 8873-F fail safe configuration keeps the outside lever locked while energized and releases it to the unlocked state when power is interrupted. This behavior supports controlled entry under normal conditions and ensures the door can be opened from the outside during a power loss or alarm event. The inside pushbar always provides free egress.

• Fail safe: power off unlocks the outside lever.
• 24VAC/DC operation.
• Electric latch retraction and electrified trim functions available within the 80 Series electrified line.

Arm Type Details

This device uses the ET (Escutcheon Trim) control paired with the L lever design. The ET trim provides a clean escutcheon-style mounting with a lever handle that retracts the latch for entry when unlocked, delivering smooth operation and a durable finished appearance.

Included Components

The device arrives as a rim exit device with ETL control, L lever trim, and hex key dogging hardware. A cylinder is not included and must be ordered separately to complete keying.
