Sargent LC-12-56-8706-F-ETJ-84 Electrified Fire Rated Surface Vertical Rod Exit Device, Storeroom, For 33-36" Wd, 84" Ht Door, Less Cylinder

The Sargent LC-12-56-8706-F-ETJ-84 is a heavy-duty electrified surface vertical rod exit device built for demanding fire-rated openings. Designed for 33"–36" wide and 84" tall doors, it pairs the proven 8700 series exit mechanism with the ETJ escutcheon trim in a storeroom function, where the lever remains locked at all times and entry requires a key while free egress stays available at the push bar. The "56" electrification option supports electric latch retraction and remote access control, while the "LC" designation means it ships less cylinder for use with your existing or specified mortise cylinder. UL fire-rated construction makes it suitable for labeled door assemblies.

Features

• Surface-mounted vertical rod design provides top and bottom latching for secure two-point protection.
• Fire-rated (F) construction qualifies the device for labeled fire door assemblies.
• Storeroom function keeps the outside lever locked at all times with free egress from the inside.
• ETJ escutcheon lever trim offers durable, ADA-compliant operation.
• Electrified "56" option enables electric latch retraction for access control integration.
• Ships less cylinder (LC) so you can match your facility's keying system.
• Sized for 33"–36" wide doors up to 84" in height.

Functional Details

The storeroom function (12) keeps the exterior lever continuously locked, requiring a key to retract the latch for entry while allowing unrestricted free egress whenever the push bar is depressed. The electrified 56 package adds motorized latch retraction, letting the device unlock remotely through an access control system.

• Latchbolt locked by outside lever at all times.
• Key retracts latchbolt for entry.
• Free egress at all times from inside.
• Key removable only in locked position.

Arm Type Details

As a surface vertical rod device, the mechanism drives two vertical rods that secure the door at both the head and threshold. This dual-point latching improves door alignment and security on fire-rated openings while keeping installation on the door face rather than concealed within the door.

Included Components

The device includes the 8706 surface vertical rod chassis, top and bottom latch assemblies, vertical rods, and the ETJ escutcheon lever trim. A mortise cylinder is not included and must be ordered separately.
