Sargent 776-ETL-24V-RHR-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sargent 776 electronic trim work on my 8800 series rim exit device?
The Sargent 776 electronic lever trim is built for Sargent's own devices: 8800, 8500, NB8700, PP, PR and SP8700 series. On the order form the compatibility axis narrows it further, either for the 8876, 12-8876 device, or for exits 8376, 12-8376, 8976, 12-8976, 9876, 9976 and 12-9976. Pick the option that matches the device number stamped on the touchbar, because the two builds are not interchangeable.
2) Does the Sargent 776 trim lock or unlock when the power drops?
It locks. The 776 is a fail secure trim, so the outside lever stays locked when power is removed and unlocks only while power is applied. Egress is unaffected either way, since pushing the exit device from the inside always releases the door. If your access control scheme requires the outside lever to free up on a fire alarm or power loss, fail secure is the wrong function and you want a fail safe trim instead, such as the Command Access ET15, ET25 or the Von Duprin E360L-BE-03.
3) What voltage does the Sargent 776 exit trim need?
Order it as either 12V or 24V. That is a build choice, not a field-selectable jumper, so match it to the power supply feeding the opening before you order. The trim uses full wave rectification, so it will run on the rectified output rather than needing clean filtered DC.
4) Do I have to order the Sargent 776 trim handed?
Yes, handing is on the order form: LHR (left hand reverse) or RHR (right hand reverse). Those are the two hands that exist on an exit device, since the door always swings out. The trim is also field reversible, so if the wrong hand shows up on site it converts without extra parts.
5) Does the Sargent 776 trim come with a cylinder?
Depends which cylinder option you pick. Three exist: with a 1-3/4 inch mortise and rim cylinder included, less the 1-3/4 inch mortise and rim cylinder, or SFIC prepped and less core. If your building is keyed on a small format interchangeable core system, take the SFIC prep and supply your own core so the trim keys into the existing master system. If you already stock cylinders, the less-cylinder build avoids paying twice.
6) Can the Sargent 776 electronic trim go on a fire rated door?
Yes. The 776 trim is UL and cUL listed for use on fire doors. Because it is fail secure, the outside lever stays locked during an alarm, which is what a fire rated opening normally calls for, and free egress is preserved through the exit device itself.
7) My exit devices are Von Duprin, not Sargent. Is there an electrified lever trim for them?
The Sargent 776-ET is built to the Sargent device line, with compatibility options covering the 8876 and 12-8876 and the 8376, 12-8376, 8976, 12-8976, 9876, 9976 and 12-9976 exits. For Von Duprin devices, the Command Access 230L is an electrified Von Duprin 230L exit trim with 12V/24V operation and fail safe or fail secure options, listed for the V96/36/23 series. The Von Duprin E360L-BE-03 electric trim is made for 33/35A series devices. Match the trim to the device family already in the door - electrified trim is not cross-brand interchangeable.
8) What is the closest equivalent to the Sargent 776-ET electrified lever exit trim from another manufacturer?
The Command Access ET26 electrified exit trim is the nearest match in construction and configuration: it is Grade 1 with a field reversible design, the same two attributes that define the Sargent 776-ET, which is Grade 1 and field reversible. If you also need the dual voltage flexibility the 776-ET offers in 12V and 24V builds, the Command Access ET25 and ET15 electrified exit trims are built for 12V/24V operation with fail safe or fail secure options, so a single part covers either voltage on the job.
9) I need an electrified exit trim that unlocks on power loss instead of locking. What should I order?
The Sargent 776-ET is a fail secure trim, so the lever stays locked when power drops and the door can only be entered by key. For an opening that must release on power loss, the Von Duprin E360L-BE-03 is a Grade 1 electric passage exit trim with a fail safe configuration and an 03 lever, built for 33/35A series devices. The Command Access ET15, ET25 and the 230L electrified Von Duprin trim are each supplied with fail safe or fail secure options selectable at order, so one of them covers a mixed building where some openings free-egress on a fire alarm release and others hold secure.
10) Can I use a mechanical keyed lever trim instead of the electrified Sargent 776-ET to save on wiring?
Yes, if the opening does not need to be released from an access control system. The Sargent 776-ET is an electronic trim requiring 12V or 24V power at the door. A mechanical storeroom trim keeps the lever locked and key-entry only with no wiring at all: the Design Hardware KIL storeroom trim in Schlage C keyway with a flat lever suits 1000 and 2000 series devices, the Pamex E9000 is a Grade 1 storeroom trim with an L3 lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Tell EDELT80 escutcheon lever trim is a storeroom function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. You give up remote unlock and credential control by going mechanical.
11) Which exit device trims can go on a fire rated opening alongside the Sargent 776-ET?
The Sargent 776-ET is UL and cUL listed for use on fire doors, so it holds up in a fire-rated opening. Several escutcheon lever trims in the same class are not fire rated - the Accentra 426F Augusta lever escutcheon for 6000 and 1800 series, the Accentra 441F night latch keyed lever trim, and the Accentra 446F Grade 1 classroom trim with Augusta lever all carry a fire rating of No. If the door is in a rated wall, the 776-ET is the one that satisfies the label.
12) Is the Sargent 776 heavy duty enough for a school or hospital entrance?
It is a Grade 1, heavy duty, commercial-rated trim, which is the level specified for high traffic institutional openings. Grade 1 is the top ANSI/BHMA tier for door hardware. Combined with the UL and cUL fire door listing, it suits main entries and stair doors in schools, healthcare and government buildings.
13) Should I use an electrified trim like the Sargent 776 or a pushbutton exit trim?
An electrified trim such as the 776 is the choice when the opening is on a card reader or building access control system, since it takes 12V or 24V from a panel and releases the outside lever on command. If there is no head end and no wiring, a standalone pushbutton trim makes more sense: the Dormakaba E-Plex 201U is an electronic pushbutton exit trim, and the PowerPlex P201U fits rim, mortise and SVR devices. For an opening that needs no electric control at all, a mechanical keyed trim like the Marks USA M195F storeroom trim does the job with a key.
14) What electronic exit trim should I use if I want the credentials at the door instead of running it off an access control panel?
The Sargent 776-ET is an electronic fail secure trim that takes its release signal from a wired access control system at 12V or 24V. If you would rather keep the credential at the door and skip the panel, the Dormakaba E-Plex 201U is an electronic pushbutton exit trim in the E-Plex 2000 series for wide stile doors, and the Dormakaba PowerPlex P201U exit trim covers rim, mortise and SVR devices. Those are standalone code-entry trims; the 776-ET is the one to keep when the door has to answer to a central system and honor a global lockdown.
15) Is a nightlatch or pull trim a substitute for the Sargent 776-ET?
No. The Sargent 776-ET is an electronic lever trim with fail secure operation, meaning the lever is a controlled entry point wired to a power source. A nightlatch or pull trim gives key-only or pull-only entry with no controlled lever: the Corbin Russwin VT957ET is a nightlatch escutcheon trim in stamped or formed stainless for ED5000 series devices, the Accentra 121NL is an exit device nightlatch trim, and the Tell exit device pull trim has a cylinder hole and is supplied less cylinder. Those cover an exterior door someone unlocks by key; they do not accept a card reader signal.
16) Do I need an electrified trim like the Sargent 776-ET if the door only needs a lever that is always unlocked?
No. The Sargent 776-ET is a fail secure electronic trim, which is what you buy when the lever must be held locked and released on a signal. A door that stays free-entry all day needs only a passage trim: the Corbin Russwin 3310AET is a passage function trim for ED300 series rim, surface vertical rod and mortise devices, the x810ET is passage function for ED4000 series, the x910ET is a heavy duty passage trim for ED5200S, ED5200, ED5400 and ED5800 series, and the Arrow SRX01 is a passage function Sierra lever with rose for ED910, S1150 and S1250 devices. None of those require power or a reader.
17) Is a classroom function trim an alternative to the Sargent 776-ET for a school?
They solve the problem differently. The Sargent 776-ET is fail secure and electronic, so the classroom locks and unlocks from a central system and can be included in a building-wide lockdown. A mechanical classroom trim is keyed at the door instead: the Falcon 510L is a heavy duty classroom function trim with lever handle for 24/25 series devices, the Falcon 179L is a medium duty classroom lever control trim for the 1790 series, the Accentra 446F is a Grade 1 classroom trim with Augusta lever, and the Dexter ED1000T classroom trim uses a thumbpiece and pull plate and ships less cylinder. Choose the 776-ET when the lockdown has to happen from the office rather than at each door with a key.
18) What lever styles and finish does the Sargent 776 trim come in?
Two lever designs, L and P, and one finish: 26D satin chromium plated over nickel, the standard satin chrome look on commercial openings. If the rest of your building is in 26D lever hardware, this matches without a special order.
19) What is EcoFlex on the Sargent 776 trim and does it change my power supply sizing?
EcoFlex is Sargent's power management on this electronic trim, working with full wave rectification to condition incoming power and hold current draw down while the trim stays energized. Since the 776 is fail secure, it is drawing power whenever the door is locked, which on a continuously locked opening is most of the day, so the low draw matters when you are budgeting a panel's output across several doors.
20) I only need to fill the hole on the outside of the door - is a dummy trim enough instead of the Sargent 776-ET?
If the outside of the door never needs to be opened, yes. The Sargent 776-ET is a controlled electronic entry trim with a cylinder and a working lever. A dummy or blank trim gives the door a finished exterior with no operation: the Von Duprin 230DT is a dummy trim for 22 series devices with a heavy duty 10 gauge steel escutcheon, the Detex 02BN is a dummy S-lever trim with blank escutcheon for Value series devices, the Falcon 212L is a blank escutcheon lever trim for 20 series with shear pin protection, and the Dexter ED1500T dummy trim uses a handle pull plate. Use those only where exit-only operation is acceptable under the code for that opening.
21) What Grade 1 keyed entry lever trims compare to the Sargent 776-ET for a tenant entrance without access control?
The Sargent 776-ET is Grade 1 heavy duty commercial trim with an electronic fail secure lever. Where the entrance is keyed rather than credentialed, the Grade 1 mechanical entry trims are the Design Hardware LE08 entry function trim with a flat lever and escutcheon for 1000R and 2000R devices, the Design Hardware KIL entry function trim in Schlage C keyway with flat lever for 1000 and 2000 series, and the Tell EDELT53 escutcheon lever trim in entry function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. All hold the exterior lever workable by key; only the 776-ET adds the wired release.
