Sargent LC-12-56-8804-J-ETP 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-ETP is a heavy-duty electrified rim exit device engineered for fire-rated openings that demand reliable, controlled access. Built around the 8800 Series platform, it offers night latch function with the J-ETP trim, allowing key-controlled entry from the outside while providing instant free egress from the inside. The 56 electric latch retraction (ELR) prefix lets the latch retract electrically for remote access control and integration with building automation. Designed for doors 37 to 42 inches wide, it ships less cylinder for keying flexibility and carries no mechanical dogging to maintain fire-rating integrity. This device is a dependable choice for schools, hospitals, and commercial facilities.

• Electric latch retraction (ELR) retracts the latch electrically for remote release.
• Night Latch (NL) function: key retracts latch for entry; exit always available.
• Fire rated – no mechanical dogging permitted.

Included Components

The device includes the 8804 fire-rated rim exit chassis with the 56 electric latch retraction mechanism and the J-ETP exterior night latch trim. A cylinder is not included and must be ordered separately for the night latch function.
