Sargent LC-8976-J-ETB-12V Mortise Exit Device, Electrified Trim 12V Fail Secure, ET Control, B Lever, For 37-42" Width Door, Less Cylinder, Hex Key Dogging, Grade 1
The Sargent LC-8976-J-ETB-12V is a Grade 1 electrified mortise exit device engineered for high-traffic commercial openings requiring controlled access. Built for doors ranging from 37" to 42" in width, it combines reliable panic exit functionality with 12-volt electrified trim operating in a fail secure mode, meaning the outside lever stays locked until power is applied. This unit ships less cylinder, giving you the flexibility to pair it with your facility's existing keying system. The ETB trim features the B lever design with ET control, while hex key dogging allows the device to be held in a retracted position for push/pull operation during peak hours.
Features
- Grade 1 certified mortise exit device suited for demanding commercial applications.
- Sized for door widths of 37" to 42".
- 12-volt electrified trim with fail secure operation for access control integration.
- ETB trim with the B lever style and ET control for comfortable, durable use.
- Supplied less cylinder for compatibility with your preferred keying system.
- Hex key dogging holds latches retracted for free operation when permitted.
Functional Details
This 12V 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.
Included Components
The device includes the mortise exit chassis, ETB electrified trim with B lever, and mounting hardware. A compatible mortise cylinder must be ordered separately as this unit ships less cylinder.
