Sargent LC-56-8804-J-ETJ Electrified Rim Exit Device, Night Latch Function, Electric Latch Retraction, For 37-42 Inch Width Door, Less Cylinder, Hex Key Dogging
The Sargent LC-56-8804-J-ETJ is a heavy-duty electrified rim exit device built for high-traffic commercial openings that require remote access control. Designed for doors ranging from 37 to 42 inches wide, this unit combines reliable panic exit hardware with electric latch retraction (ELR), allowing the latch to be pulled back electronically for push/pull or remote access. It operates in the night latch (08) function, meaning the outside trim with the J lever is controlled by a key. Supplied less cylinder for flexible keying, it features hex key dogging and the ETJ escutcheon trim, making it a dependable choice for schools, offices, and institutional buildings.

- Night latch (8804) function operates the outside lever by key for secure entry while maintaining free egress.
- Sized for doors measuring 37 to 42 inches in width.

- Rim-mounted design installs on the surface of the door for straightforward servicing.
