The Sargent 8873-J-ETL-24V is a Grade 1 electrified rim exit device engineered for commercial openings that require controlled lever access combined with reliable free egress. Designed for doors measuring 37 to 42 inches wide, this unit uses an ETL (ET control with L lever) trim and operates on 24VAC/DC power. Configured as fail safe, the outside lever unlocks when power is removed, making it a strong fit for access-controlled and life-safety applications. The device ships without a cylinder and includes hex key dogging to hold the pushbar retracted during high-traffic periods. Built to Sargent's durable standards, it delivers dependable performance in demanding institutional and commercial environments.
