Sargent LC-12-NB-8706-F-ETJ-84 Fire Rated Surface Vertical Rod Exit Device, Storeroom, For 33-36 Inch Width, 84 Inch Height Door, Less Cylinder, No Dogging, Less Bottom Rod, Thermal Pin

The Sargent LC-12-NB-8706-F-ETJ-84 is a fire-rated surface vertical rod exit device engineered for dependable egress on 33-36 inch wide doors measuring 84 inches in height. Built to Grade 1 standards, it features the ETJ lever trim in a storeroom function, so the door stays locked from the outside and requires a key for entry while allowing free exit at all times. This configuration ships less cylinder and less bottom rod, reducing debris buildup and simplifying maintenance at the floor line. With no dogging and a thermal pin for fire-rated performance, it's a reliable choice for commercial openings where code compliance and durability matter most.
