Sargent 704ETL26D Night Latch Exit Device Trim L Lever

Product Description

The SARGENT 704ETL26D is a night latch key retractable exit device trim designed for use with ET-series exit devices. It features an L lever handle and an LA keyway cylinder, allowing outside entry by key while the lever retracts the latch from the exterior. The trim is finished in satin chrome (finish code 26D), which provides a clean, low-maintenance appearance suited to high-traffic commercial openings. Sold as a single assembly, the 704ETL26D is installed by licensed locksmiths, architectural hardware specialists, or commercial door and hardware contractors working on life-safety-compliant openings.

This trim is intended for commercial, institutional, healthcare, industrial, and educational facilities where controlled exterior access is required at emergency exit doors. The night latch function allows free egress from the interior via the exit device panic bar while restricting outside entry to key holders. It is suited for new construction and retrofit applications on doors equipped with compatible SARGENT ET exit device bodies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified architectural hardware technician familiar with commercial exit device systems. Verify that the exit device body is de-energized and the door is secured before beginning trim removal or replacement. Follow all applicable local building codes and NFPA 101 Life Safety Code requirements governing exit device hardware on fire-rated and non-rated openings. Do not modify the trim or cylinder in any way that would compromise the rated egress function of the exit device assembly.
