Sargent LC-8706-J-ETB-84 Surface Vertical Rod Exit Device, Storeroom, For 37-42" Wd, 84" Ht Door, Less Cylinder

The Sargent LC-8706-J-ETB-84 is a heavy-duty surface vertical rod exit device engineered for demanding commercial and institutional openings. Configured for storeroom function, it provides secure, always-locked trim that requires a key to retract the latch while allowing free egress through the push rail. Built to accommodate doors measuring 37" to 42" wide and up to 84" in height, this device pairs with the ETB (Etowah) lever trim and the J-style escutcheon. Shipped less cylinder, it offers installers flexibility to specify the preferred keying system. Its rugged construction and Grade 1 performance make it ideal for schools, hospitals, and high-traffic entryways.
