Sargent 8873-G-ETL-24V Rim Exit Device, Fail Safe Power Off Unlocks Lever, ET Control, L Lever, No Cylinder, 43-48" Dr Width, Hex Key Dogging, 24VAC/DC Electrified, Grade 1

The Sargent 8873-G-ETL-24V is a Grade 1 electrified rim exit device built for demanding commercial openings that require controlled access with reliable free egress. Engineered as a fail-safe unit, it unlocks the outside lever when power is removed, making it a strong fit for access-controlled corridors and perimeter doors where safe exit is critical. Configured with the ET control trim and L lever, it accommodates doors ranging from 43 to 48 inches in width and operates on 24VAC/DC. Hex key dogging allows the device to be held in a pushpad-depressed state for high-traffic periods, while the no-cylinder setup lets you integrate your preferred keying later.

Features

• Grade 1 rim exit device rated for heavy-duty commercial use.
• Fail-safe electrified operation unlocks the outside lever when power is removed.
• ET control trim paired with the L lever design for comfortable, code-compliant access.
• Sized for door widths from 43 to 48 inches.
• Operates on 24VAC or 24VDC for flexible power integration.
• Hex key dogging holds the pushpad retracted for sustained free passage.
• Supplied without a cylinder, allowing you to match existing keying systems.

Functional Details

As a fail-safe device, the 8873-G-ETL-24V keeps the outside lever locked while energized and automatically releases it when power is interrupted. This ensures the opening becomes accessible from the exterior during a power loss, supporting life-safety and emergency egress requirements. Free egress from the inside is always available via the pushpad.

Arm Type Details

This is a rim-style exit device that mounts to the surface of the door and engages a strike on the frame. The latching mechanism is actuated by depressing the horizontal pushpad, providing instant, single-motion egress regardless of the locked status of the outside trim.

Included Components

The device ships with the 8873 rim chassis, G-series ET electrified control trim with L lever, and hex key dogging hardware. A cylinder is not included and must be ordered separately to suit your facility's keying.
