Sargent LC-12-8976-G-ETJ-12V Fire Rated Mortise Exit Device, Electrified Trim 12V Fail Secure, ET Control, J Lever, For 43-48" Width Door, Less Cylinder, Less Dogging, Grade 1

The Sargent LC-12-8976-G-ETJ-12V is a Grade 1 fire rated mortise exit device built for high-traffic commercial openings measuring 43 to 48 inches in width. It features 12-volt electrified trim with a fail secure function, meaning the outside lever stays locked when power is removed, helping maintain security during an outage. The device uses the ET trim control with the J lever design and ships less cylinder and less dogging, allowing you to pair it with your preferred mortise cylinder. Its fire rated construction makes it suitable for labeled door assemblies where life safety and controlled access are both priorities.

Functional Details

This 12V DC electrified ET trim operates in fail secure mode. With power removed, the outside lever is locked. Applying power unlocks the outside lever. When unlocked, turning the outside lever retracts the mortise latch. Operating the inside push rail permits egress regardless of the electrical state of the trim. A compatible mortise cylinder, ordered separately, provides mechanical key override.

Trim and Lever Details

The ET trim has a J lever. Electrical power controls whether the outside lever is locked or unlocked; operating an unlocked lever retracts the latch. Select the LHR or RHR handing to suit the opening.

Included Components

The device ships with the electrified 12V mortise exit chassis, ET trim with the J lever, and mounting hardware. A mortise cylinder is required and sold separately since the unit is supplied less cylinder.
