Sargent 8875-J-ETL-24V 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-24V is a Grade 1 rim exit device built for high-traffic commercial openings that require access control integration. Operating on 24V, it features electrified ETL (electric trim) in a fail safe configuration, meaning the lever unlocks on power loss to allow entry. The outside lever stays locked when powered, and a key retracts the latch for mechanical override. Designed for door widths from 37 to 42 inches, this device includes hex key dogging to hold the latch retracted for push/pull operation during peak hours. The J (Grant) lever trim provides durable, code-compliant access for institutional, educational, and healthcare facilities.

Functional Details

The 8875 ETL function provides electrically controlled access through the outside lever. In the fail safe mode, removing power unlocks the lever for free entry, while applying power locks it. Free egress is always available from the inside by pressing the push bar, and a cylinder in the trim allows the latch to be retracted by key.
