Sargent 713-8 ETL US26D Outside Trim – Versatile Classroom Access Solution

This is intended for:

• Narrow Stile (8500 Series) Wide Stile (8800 Series) Rim Exit Devices
• Surface Vertical Rod less Bottom Rod Devices (NB8700 Series)

The Sargent 713-8 ETL US26D Outside Trim is a high-performance commercial lever control designed to provide flexible and secure access for high-traffic environments. Operating in a Classroom Function (ANSI 08), this trim allows the outside lever to be locked or unlocked by key. Once unlocked, the lever remains active, permitting free entry without a key—a vital operational efficiency solution for schools, universities, and commercial offices that require open access during business hours and rigid security after hours. Finished in a durable US26D (Satin Chrome), the ETL lever design is fully ADA compliant, ensuring an ergonomic and inclusive access control solution for all users.

As a multi-device compatibility solution, the Sargent 713-8 ETL is specifically engineered for use with Narrow Stile (8500 Series) and Wide Stile (8800 Series) rim exit devices, as well as Surface Vertical Rod Less Bottom Rod (NB8700 Series) systems. The trim is through-bolted to the exit device chassis, acting as a structural reinforcement solution that resists physical tampering and high-torque forced entry attempts. For maintenance professionals, this trim provides a standardized hardware solution that simplifies locking protocols across mixed-device campuses while maintaining the high aesthetic standards of modern architectural openings.

ANSI Function Summary: Classroom (ANSI 08)

The 713-8 ETL trim utilizes the industry-standard classroom function to balance user convenience with perimeter defense:

• Key Operation: The key locks and unlocks the lever. This allows staff to "toggle" the door's state—leaving it unlocked for the duration of a school day or ensuring it is secured during a lockdown or after-hours.
• Mechanical Memory: Once the key is used to unlock the trim, the lever stays unlocked until a key is used to relock it. This acts as a convenience solution, eliminating the need for constant key usage by authorized personnel.
• Life Safety Compliance: Regardless of the exterior lever's locked status, the interior exit device always allows for immediate, uninhibited egress, meeting all national fire and life safety codes.
