The Sargent 56-LC-12-8706-J-ETB-84 is an electrified fire rated surface vertical rod exit device built for demanding commercial and institutional openings. Configured for storeroom function with the ETB lever trim and J design, it fits doors between 37" and 42" wide and up to 84" in height. This device ships less cylinder (LC) for integration with your preferred keying system, and the 56 prefix indicates electrification for access control and latch monitoring.

Features

- Storeroom function keeps the outside lever locked at all times while allowing free egress from the inside.
- Electrified 56 option supports access control integration and monitoring.
- ETB lever trim with the J design offers a comfortable, ADA-compliant grip.

Functional Details
The storeroom (12) function means the outside lever is always locked and requires a key to retract the latch for entry, while the inside push rail always allows free immediate egress. Electrification allows the device to interface with a building's access control system.
- Outside trim is locked at all times.
- Key retracts latch for momentary entry.
- Free egress at all times from the inside.
Arm Type Details
As a surface vertical rod exit device, this unit uses top and bottom latch bolts driven by vertical rods mounted on the surface of the door. Depressing the push rail simultaneously retracts both latches, releasing the door for egress while maintaining two-point latching when closed.
Included Components
Ships with the surface vertical rod exit device chassis, ETB lever trim in the J design, top and bottom latch assemblies, and mounting hardware. Cylinder is not included and must be ordered separately.
