Sargent 8875-J-ETL-12V Electrified Rim Exit Device, Fail Safe Power Off Unlocks Lever, Key Retracts Latch, For 37-42 Inch Width Door, Hex Key Dogging — Core Options: KD LA keyway keyed differently with 2 change keys; or LC Less Cylinder (Option)

The Sargent 8875-J-ETL-12V is a heavy-duty rim exit device built for high-traffic commercial openings that require electrified access control. Designed to fit doors between 37 and 42 inches wide, this device pairs reliable panic hardware with electrified ETL lever trim operating at 12 volts. It features a fail-safe configuration, meaning the outside lever unlocks when power is removed—an ideal setup for applications where egress security must default to open during a power loss. The J-style trim and standard key function allow key retraction of the latch, while hex key dogging provides easy mechanical hold-open for periods of free passage.

Functional Details

The 8875 fail-safe function controls access through the electrified lever trim. When power is applied, the outside lever is locked; when power is removed, the lever is released to allow entry, ensuring the door remains accessible during an outage. Free egress is always available from the inside by pushing the touchbar.

• Fail safe: lever unlocked when power is removed.
• Key outside retracts latchbolt.
• Free egress at all times from inside.

Trim Type Details

The J-style ETL trim features a lever design that provides comfortable, ADA-friendly operation. When energized and locked, the lever is rigid and secure; when de-energized, it rotates to retract the latch and permit entry.
