Sargent LC-8976-F-ETL-24V Mortise Exit Device, Electrified Trim 24V Fail Secure, ET Control, L Lever, For 33-36" Width Door, Less Cylinder, Hex Key Dogging, Grade 1
The Sargent LC-8976-F-ETL-24V is a Grade 1 electrified mortise exit device engineered for secure, high-traffic commercial openings. Designed for doors measuring 33 to 36 inches wide, it pairs a mortise lock body with the 24V ET electrified trim configured for fail secure operation, meaning the outside lever stays locked until power is applied. The device ships less cylinder, giving you the flexibility to match your facility's existing keying system, and includes the L lever design for comfortable operation. Hex key dogging allows the latch to be held retracted for push/pull function during peak hours, while free egress from the inside is always maintained.
Features
- Grade 1 mortise exit device built for durability in demanding commercial applications.
- Electrified ET trim operating at 24V for integration with access control systems.
- Fail secure function keeps the outside lever locked on loss of power while allowing free egress.
- Sized for doors 33" to 36" in width.
- Supplied less cylinder for compatibility with your preferred keyway.
- L lever trim provides smooth operation.
- Hex key dogging permits mechanical latch hold-back for push/pull use.
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 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, 24V electrified ET trim with L lever, and hex key dogging hardware. A mortise cylinder is not included and must be ordered separately.
