Sargent 8874-J-ETJ-12V Electrified Rim Exit Device, Fail Secure Power Off Locks Lever, No Cylinder, For 37-42 Inch Width Door, Hex Key Dogging

The Sargent 8874-J-ETJ-12V is a heavy-duty electrified rim exit device built for high-traffic openings that require controlled access and reliable egress. This Grade 1 device operates on 12V DC and uses a fail secure design, meaning the outside ETJ lever remains locked when power is removed, ensuring security during a power loss while free egress is always available from the inside. Configured for doors measuring 37 to 42 inches wide, it ships without a cylinder and features convenient hex key dogging for holding the latch retracted during peak periods. The J trim and ETJ lever pairing deliver durable, code-compliant performance for commercial and institutional applications.

Functional Details

The fail secure electrified function controls the outside ETJ lever trim through the access control power supply. When energized, the lever retracts the latch to allow authorized entry; when power is removed, the lever locks to maintain security. Egress from the inside is never affected and remains free at all times.

• Electric latch retraction or electrified trim control depending on configuration.
• Fail secure: outside lever locks when power is off.
• Free egress at all times from the inside.

Arm Type Details

The ETJ trim pairs the escutcheon-style exterior with the J lever design, providing an ergonomic grip and robust construction suited to frequent daily use. The lever controls the rim latch for authorized entry while maintaining a clean, low-profile appearance on the pull side of the door.
