Sargent 704 ETL US26D Outside Trim – Heavy-Duty Storeroom Solution  

**** Note: This is intended for Narrow Stile (8300 & 8500 Series) Wide Stile (8800 & 8900 Series) Rim or Mortise Exit Devices ****

The Sargent 704 ETL US26D Outside Trim is a high-security commercial lever trim engineered to provide a robust exterior access point for Sargent 80 Series Exit Devices. Operating in a Storeroom Function, this trim remains perpetually locked from the outside; entry is only possible by using a key to momentarily retract the latch. This makes it the premier security solution for sensitive areas such as mechanical rooms, IT closets, and back-of-house commercial entrances where uncontrolled access must be strictly prohibited. Finished in a durable US26D (Satin Chrome), the ETL lever design is fully ADA compliant, ensuring that the facility remains accessible to all users while maintaining a high level of perimeter defense.

Designed for versatility, the Sargent 704 ETL is a multi-device compatibility solution, interfacing seamlessly with Narrow Stile (8300 & 8500 Series) and Wide Stile (8800 & 8900 Series) rim or mortise exit devices. Whether your facility utilizes aluminum storefront doors or heavy-duty hollow metal doors, this trim provides a standardized hardware solution that simplifies inventory and maintenance. Because the lever is through-bolted to the exit device chassis, it acts as a structural reinforcement solution, resisting the high-torque "pull" attacks common in high-traffic urban environments.

Operational Function & ANSI Security Summary

The 704 ETL trim is built to withstand the rigors of institutional use while providing fail-safe egress:

• Storeroom Function (ANSI 09): The lever is always rigid. Entry is via key only. This is the primary loss-prevention solution for commercial buildings.
• Vandal-Resistant Lever: The ETL design features a breakaway "freewheeling" option or a rigid through-bolted mount to prevent unauthorized forced entry, acting as a security-hardening solution.
• ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 Performance: Certified to the highest industry standards for cycle life and strength, ensuring the hardware remains functional for millions of operations.
• ADA Accessibility: The lever shape allows for operation without grasping or twisting, providing a compliance solution for buildings subject to stringent accessibility codes.

Technical Specifications

Engineered Solutions for Facility Access Management

The Sargent 704 ETL provides targeted technical answers to the logistical challenges of commercial door hardware:

• Universal Exit Device Integration: This trim serves as a single-source solution for facilities that have a mix of narrow-stile aluminum and wide-stile steel doors, allowing for a consistent aesthetic across the entire campus.
• High-Traffic Reliability: In schools and hospitals where doors are used constantly, the Sargent ETL trim acts as a durability solution, reducing the frequency of service calls due to sagging levers or mechanical fatigue.
• Aesthetic Consistency: The US26D Satin Chrome finish is the industry standard for modern architecture, providing a design-unified solution that matches existing hinges, closers, and frames.
• Life Safety Compliance: While the exterior is always locked, the interior exit device always allows free egress. This trim is a life-safety solution that ensures security does not compromise emergency exit requirements.
• Precision Handing Restoration: Because the 704 ETL is handed, it ensures the internal cam timing is perfectly matched to the door’s swing, providing a smooth-operation solution that prevents key binding or latch sticking.

Special Note: The door handing information is needed upon order placement. If you are unsure of the handing of your door, please compare the picture above to your opening for clarification.
