Sargent LC-704 Etj Lhrb 26D Exit Device Trim Nightlatch

Product Description

The SARGENT LC-704 ETJ LHRB 26D is a Grade 1 exit device trim designed for nightlatch function, where turning the key retracts the latch for entry. Built for commercial door applications, this trim mounts to the interior side of the door and pairs with compatible rim or mortise exit devices to complete the trim set. The J lever handle and satin chrome (26D) finish suit high-traffic commercial corridors, stairwells, and vestibule doors. The trim ships less cylinder, meaning the installer supplies the cylinder to match the building keying system. Left-hand reverse (LHRB) handing must be confirmed before installation.

This trim is rated Grade 1, the highest ANSI/BHMA grade for commercial hardware, making it appropriate for heavy-use openings in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and government installations. It is specified for use with SARGENT 8300, 8500, 8800, 8900, 9800, and 9900 Series rim and mortise exit devices. The nightlatch function allows the latch to be held retracted from the outside by key, which is a common requirement on doors where free egress is needed from inside but controlled access is required from outside.

Installation Notes

Installation of exit device trim should be performed by a licensed locksmith or door hardware professional familiar with ANSI standards and local life-safety codes. Verify door handing before ordering, as left-hand reverse trim is not interchangeable with other handings. Ensure the exit device is fully de-tensioned and the door is secured in the open position before attaching trim components. The installer must supply and key the cylinder separately to complete the lockset assembly.
