Sargent LC-NB-8713-F-ETB-96 Surface Vertical Rod Exit Device, Classroom Function, For 33-36 Inch Width, 96 Inch Height Door, Less Cylinder, Hex Key Dogging, Less Bottom Rod

The Sargent LC-NB-8713-F-ETB-96 is a surface-mounted vertical rod exit device built for demanding commercial openings up to 96 inches in height and door widths from 33 to 36 inches. Configured for classroom function with the ETB lever trim, it allows secure access from the outside using a key while permitting free egress at all times from the inside. This fire-rated device ships less cylinder (LC) and less bottom rod (NB), making it ideal for applications where a top-latch-only configuration is preferred. Hex key dogging lets authorized staff hold the pushbar retracted for push-pull operation during high-traffic periods, and its rugged construction suits schools, offices, and institutional environments.

• Latchbolt retracted by lever or by exit device pushbar.
• Free egress at all times from the inside.
• Hex key dogging holds pushbar depressed for push-pull function.

Arm Type Details

This is a surface vertical rod device with a top rod and latch mechanism mounted on the pull side of the door. In the less-bottom-rod configuration, latching occurs only at the top of the door frame, reducing wear and eliminating the floor strike.

Included Components

The device includes the pushbar chassis, surface-mounted top vertical rod and latch, ETB lever trim, and mounting hardware. The cylinder and bottom rod are not included and must be ordered or specified separately.
