Sargent 8713 ETL Surface Vertical Rod Exit Device w/ Classroom Exit Trim
The Sargent 8713 ETL is a premier Grade 1 Surface Vertical Rod (SVR) exit device designed for high-traffic commercial applications requiring secure, two-point latching. This UL Listed panic and fire-rated hardware features the robust ETL Classroom Lever Trim, allowing the outside lever to be locked or unlocked by key—a vital function for school safety and office security. Engineered for durability, the 8713 ensures safe egress while maintaining the integrity of single or double door openings.
Heavy-Duty Security and Compliance
Built to exceed ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 standards, the Sargent 8700 series offers superior strength with its 1/2" brass, bronze, or stainless steel rods. The two-point latching system secures the door at both the top and bottom, providing enhanced protection against forced entry. This device is UL10C Fire Rated when ordered with the 12-prefix, making it the industry standard for life safety and fire-code compliance in hospitals, universities, and government buildings.
Precision Engineering and Versatility
The Sargent 8713 is highly adaptable, fitting wood or metal doors with a minimum thickness of 1-3/4". Whether you are outfitting an E, F, J, or G rail size, each unit provides smooth, quiet operation with a low-profile projection that minimizes obstruction. For modern security integration, this device is available with multiple electrified options, including Remote Latch Retraction (56-ELR) and Request-to-Exit (55-RX) monitoring. To ensure a seamless "plug-and-play" installation of electrical components, the use of a QC12 ElectroLynx connector on the associated hinge is highly recommended.
