The Sargent NB-8715-G-ETB-96 is a surface-mounted vertical rod exit device built for wide, oversized openings that demand reliable egress and durable performance.

It fits doors ranging from 43 to 48 inches wide with a 96-inch height and includes ETB trim with a B-style lever for comfortable outside access.
