Sargent LC-8976-F-ETB-24V Mortise Exit Device, Electrified Trim 24V Fail Secure, ET Control, B Lever, For 33-36" Width Door, Less Cylinder, Hex Key Dogging, Grade 1

The Sargent LC-8976-F-ETB-24V is a Grade 1 electrified mortise exit device engineered for secure access control on commercial openings measuring 33 to 36 inches wide. Built around Sargent's rugged 8900 series platform, it features a 24V fail secure electrified ETB trim with the B lever design, meaning the outside lever stays locked until power is applied. The "LC" designation indicates the device ships less cylinder, giving installers the flexibility to specify their preferred mortise cylinder. Dependable hex key dogging and heavy-duty construction make this device well suited for high-traffic entrances where both life safety and controlled entry are priorities.

• ETB trim configuration with B lever for a clean, ergonomic feel.

Functional Details

This 24V DC electrified ET trim operates in fail secure mode. With power removed, the outside lever is locked. Applying power unlocks 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

The package includes the mortise exit device chassis, ETB electrified B lever trim, and mounting hardware. A mortise cylinder is required but not included.
