The Sargent LC-8975-J-ETB-12V is a Grade 1 electrified mortise exit device engineered for secure, egress on heavy-use commercial openings. Built to fit doors from 37" to 42" in width, it combines the strength of a mortise lock body with 12V electrified trim operating in a fail safe mode, so the lever unlocks on power loss to support controlled access and life-safety requirements. This configuration ships with the ETB trim, J escutcheon, and B lever, less cylinder for flexible keying, and features hex key dogging for convenient latch hold-back. It's a dependable choice for access-controlled entrances, stairwells, and institutional applications.

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 a B 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

Device includes the mortise exit chassis, ETB electrified trim with J escutcheon and B lever, and hex key dogging hardware. Mortise cylinder is not included and must be ordered separately.
