Sargent LC-12-56-8875-J-ETL-24V Electrified Fire Rated Rim Exit Device, Fail Safe Power Off Unlocks Lever, Key Retracts Latch, Electric Latch Retraction, For 37-42" Width Door, Less Cylinder, Less Dogging

The Sargent LC-12-56-8875-J-ETL-24V is a heavy-duty electrified rim exit device built for fire-rated openings that demand reliable access control. Designed for door widths from 37 to 42 inches, this device features electric latch retraction (ETL) powered at 24V, allowing the latch to be held retracted for remote unlocking and free-flow traffic during business hours. The fail-safe configuration ensures the device unlocks on power loss, supporting life-safety requirements. It ships less cylinder and less dogging, as mechanical dogging is not permitted on fire-rated hardware. With the J escutcheon trim and rugged Grade 1 construction, it suits high-traffic commercial and institutional entrances.

Features

• Electric latch retraction (ETL) retracts the latch electrically for remote access and momentary or extended unlocking.
• Fail-safe operation unlocks the outside lever when power is removed, meeting life-safety needs.
• Fire-rated construction suitable for labeled fire door assemblies.
• Sized for wide openings measuring 37 to 42 inches.
• Supplied less cylinder, allowing you to match your facility's keying system.
• Less dogging, as required for fire-rated applications.
• Grade 1 rim exit device engineered for durability in demanding environments.

Functional Details

Electric latch retraction uses a solenoid to electrically pull back the latchbolt, letting the door operate in a push-pull free-access mode while remaining fire-rated. The J trim provides key-retracts-latch capability from the outside, and when power is cut the fail-safe design releases the outside lever for immediate egress and entry.

• Fail Safe: Power off unlocks lever.
• Key retracts latch.
• Electric latch retraction for remote operation.

Arm Type Details

This rim exit device mounts directly to the surface of the door and engages a strike on the frame, requiring no additional bottom rod or vertical hardware. The push bar actuates the latch for quick, single-motion egress under all conditions.

Included Components

The device ships with the 8800 series rim exit chassis, 56 electric latch retraction module, J escutcheon trim, and mounting hardware. A compatible cylinder must be ordered separately.
