Sargent 8873-J-ETL-12V Rim Exit Device, Fail Safe Power Off Unlocks Lever, ET Control, L Lever, No Cylinder, 37-42" Dr Width, Hex Key Dogging, 12VAC/DC Electrified, Grade 1

The Sargent 8873-J-ETL-12V is a Grade 1 electrified rim exit device engineered for dependable security on wider openings measuring 37 to 42 inches. Built as a fail-safe unit, it uses the ETL electrified trim control so that when power is removed, the outside lever unlocks to permit free access—an ideal configuration for stairwells, controlled egress points, and emergency routes. This model ships with the L lever design and no cylinder, and features convenient hex key dogging to hold the latch retracted during high-traffic periods. Operating on 12VAC/DC, it integrates cleanly with access control systems while maintaining reliable code-compliant egress. A solid choice for commercial and institutional doors.

Functional Details

This behavior ensures that occupants and responders can always gain access during a power loss while free egress remains available at all times from the inside.

• Fail Safe: Outside trim is unlocked when power is removed.
• Free egress at all times from the inside.
• 12VAC/DC electrically controlled outside trim.
