Sargent LC-NB-8713-F-ETJ-84 Surface Vertical Rod Exit Device, Classroom Function, For 33-36 Inch Width, 84 Inch Height Door, Less Cylinder, Hex Key Dogging, Less Bottom Rod

The Sargent LC-NB-8713-F-ETJ-84 is a surface-mounted vertical rod exit device built for demanding commercial openings that require reliable classroom-function control. Designed for fire-rated doors measuring 33 to 36 inches wide and up to 84 inches tall, this Grade 1 device pairs durable construction with the convenience of hex key dogging. The less bottom rod (NB) configuration keeps the lower portion of the door clear, reducing floor-level obstructions and maintenance.

This exit device is a dependable choice for schools, healthcare facilities, and other high-traffic environments.
