Functional Details

In the fail-safe mode, removing power automatically unlocks the outside lever to permit entry, while free egress is always available from the inside.

• Electric latch retraction (ELR) for remote latch control.

Arm Type Details

The ETJ trim designation provides a key-in-lever escutcheon with the J lever design. The outside lever controls access and retracts the latch when operated with a key, while the inside push bar provides unobstructed egress at all times.
