Sargent Mfg. 774 ETL US26D x 24 VDC Outside Trim, Storeroom - Fail Secure


**** Note: This is intended for Wide Stile (8700 Series) Surface Vertical Rod Exit Devices ****
The Sargent 774 ETL is an industrial-grade electrified outside trim designed for high-security applications where maintaining a locked exterior is critical even during power loss. Specifically engineered for use with Sargent 8700 Series Wide Stile Surface Vertical Rod (SVR) exit devices, this trim features Fail-Secure operation (Power-to-Unlock). Finished in US26D (626) Satin Chrome and utilizing energy-efficient EcoFlex technology, it offers a rugged and sustainable solution for modern access control systems.
High-Security Fail-Secure Operation
The 774 ETL is the professional choice for perimeter security and sensitive interior openings where unauthorized entry must be prevented at all times.
- Fail-Secure (Power-to-Unlock): In this configuration, the lever remains locked when power is removed. Access is only granted when the building's security system applies 24VDC power to the trim. This ensures that in the event of a power outage, the door remains secured from the outside.
- EcoFlex Technology: This trim features EcoFlex circuitry, which reduces power consumption by up to 95% compared to traditional electrified trims. With a continuous draw of only 15mA, it significantly reduces heat buildup and allows for more hardware to be connected to a single power supply.
- Vandal-Resistant Engineering: Part of the heavy-duty 700 Series, the 774 ETL is through-bolted to the door chassis, providing ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 durability that stands up to the rigors of high-traffic schools, hospitals, and corporate environments.
- Safe Egress: While the exterior is electronically controlled and remains locked during power failures, the interior 8700 SVR exit device always allows for immediate, uninhibited egress for building occupants.

High-Intent Commercial Applications
The Sargent 774 ETL 24VDC is a vital component for facility managers who prioritize exterior security and centralized access management.
- Perimeter Entrances: Ideal for exterior doors that must remain locked during power outages to prevent unauthorized building entry.
- Server Rooms & Labs: Provides electrified control for sensitive areas where "Fail-Secure" is a mandatory security protocol.
- Commercial Office Hubs: Enables remote unlocking via card readers or intercom systems while maintaining a high-strength physical barrier.
- Institutional Security: Perfect for wide stile doors requiring the vertical latching strength of an 8700 Series SVR device.
Critical Ordering & Installation Notes

- Handing Required: This electrified trim is handed and is not field-reversible. You must confirm and specify Left Hand Reverse (LHR) or Right Hand Reverse (RHR) based on your door swing when placing your order.
- No Key Override: The 774 function is a purely electrified control with no cylinder backup. If your application requires a manual key override in addition to electronic control, please inquire about the 776 ETL series.
- Power Requirements: For optimal performance and to protect the EcoFlex actuator, always use a filtered and regulated 24VDC power supply.
