Sargent LC-12-56-8804-J-ETJ Electrified Fire Rated Rim Exit Device, Night Latch Function, Electric Latch Retraction, For 37-42 Inch Width Door, Less Cylinder, No Dogging

The Sargent LC-12-56-8804-J-ETJ is a fire rated rim exit device built for high-traffic commercial openings that demand both security and reliable egress. Configured with the Night Latch function and the J-ETJ lever trim, it combines free egress through the push bar with controlled, keyed entry from the exterior. The 56 prefix adds electric latch retraction (ELR), allowing the latch to be retracted electronically for remote access control or momentary free passage. Designed for doors ranging from 37 to 42 inches wide, this device ships less cylinder for integration with your existing keying system and is rated for fire door assemblies where mechanical dogging is not permitted.

Features

• Grade 1 rim exit device engineered for durability on fire rated openings.
• Night Latch (NL) function provides keyed entry while allowing continuous free egress.
• Electric latch retraction (ELR) enables remote, electronically controlled access.
• Fire rated construction with no mechanical dogging, meeting life-safety code requirements.
• Sized for door widths of 37 to 42 inches.
• Supplied less cylinder so the device can be matched to an existing keyway.
• ETJ lever trim with the J design offers a clean, ADA-compliant operation.

Functional Details

In the Night Latch function, the exterior lever is always rigid and an operating cylinder is used to retract the latch for entry, while the inside push rail retracts the latch for free egress at all times. With the 56 electric latch retraction feature, the latch can be withdrawn electrically to allow push/pull operation or remote building access.

• Night Latch (NL) - Key retracts latch. No trim function from outside.
• Electric Latch Retraction (ELR) retracts the latch bolt electrically for remote operation and access control integration.

Arm Type Details

This unit uses the ETJ trim, which pairs the exit device with an exterior lever handle in the J lever design. The lever provides keyed access consistent with the Night Latch function and returns to a level position for comfortable, code-compliant operation.

Included Components

The device ships as a complete rim exit device with ETJ lever trim and integrated electric latch retraction hardware. A cylinder is not included and must be ordered separately to complete keyed operation.
