The Sargent LC-8975-F-ETL-12V is a Grade 1 electrified mortise exit device engineered for demanding commercial openings that require controlled access.

With its rugged mortise lock case and ANSI Grade 1 construction, it delivers reliable long-term performance in high-traffic environments.

Functional Details
This 12V DC electrified ET trim operates in fail safe mode. With power removed, the outside lever is unlocked. Applying power locks 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 an L 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 includes the mortise exit chassis with integrated electrified ET trim, L lever, and hex key dogging hardware. A cylinder is not included and must be ordered separately for keyed functions.
