Sargent LC-704-ETL-26D LHR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which Sargent exit devices does the 704-ETL lever trim work with?
The Sargent 704-ETL nightlatch lever trim mounts to the 8304, 8504, 8804, 8888, 8904 and 9904 Series exit devices. It through-bolts to the device chassis, so the device itself carries the mounting load rather than the door skin. If your device is outside that list, this is not the trim for it.
2) Does the 704-ETL trim come with a cylinder, or do I have to order one separately?
It ships less the 34 rim cylinder. You supply and install the cylinder in the field, which is what lets a locksmith key it into an existing keyway and master key system rather than accepting a factory keying.
3) What does nightlatch function actually do on an exit device trim?
Nightlatch means the outside lever is always rigid, it does not retract the latch. A key in the cylinder retracts the latchbolt for entry. Push the device from the inside and you always get out. That is the standard setup for a back door or after-hours entrance where only keyholders get in.
4) Do I need to specify handing for the Sargent 704-ETL lever trim?
The trim itself is non-handed, but the lever is ordered by hand: LHR (left hand reverse) or RHR (right hand reverse), both with the L lever. Exit device doors are always reverse bevel, so you are picking LHR or RHR based on which side the hinges are on as you stand outside the door.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Sargent 704-ETL nightlatch lever trim from another manufacturer?
The Sargent 704-ETL is a nightlatch lever trim with key retract, so the nearest peers are other nightlatch lever trims. The Corbin Russwin VT957ET is a nightlatch escutcheon trim for ED5000 Series devices, and the Dorma YR03R is a wide stile escutcheon lever trim with R lever in nightlatch function, supplied less cylinder. The Accentra AU-441F is a night latch keyed lever trim with the Augusta lever. All three match the nightlatch function; the deciding factor is which exit device chassis you are trimming, since the Sargent trim is built for 8304, 8504, 8804, 8888, 8904 and 9904 Series devices.
6) I do not need a key on the outside, just a lever that always retracts the latch. What should I use instead of a nightlatch trim?
A nightlatch trim like the Sargent 704-ETL keeps the outside lever rigid and retracts the latchbolt only with a key. If you want the outside lever to always operate, choose a passage function trim instead: the Corbin Russwin 3310AET for ED3000 Series, the x810ET for ED4000 Series, the x910ET for the ED5200S/ED5200/ED5400/ED5800 Series, or the Arrow SRX01 Sierra lever with rose for ED910, S1150 and S1250 devices. None of these take a cylinder for outside control.
7) Is this trim heavy enough for a high traffic school or hospital entrance?
It is rated Grade 1 and classified heavy duty, which is the top commercial tier for door hardware, and it through-bolts to the exit device chassis instead of relying on screws into the door face. That combination is what holds up on doors that cycle hundreds of times a day.
8) Should I use a nightlatch trim or a classroom or storeroom lever on my exit device?
Nightlatch, like the Sargent 704-ETL, gives you a rigid outside lever at all times and a key to pull the latch, so nobody enters without a key. Storeroom trim, such as the Marks USA M195F or the Tell EDELT80, keeps the lever locked but turns the key to retract through the lever. Classroom trim, like the Falcon 510L, lets a key unlock the lever so it stays free for a period of time. Pick nightlatch when the door should never be left unlocked from the outside.
9) Can I standardize one trim across a building with different Sargent exit device types?
Yes, within the Sargent range. Because the 704-ETL covers 8304, 8504, 8804, 8888, 8904 and 9904 Series, one part number serves rim, mortise and vertical rod openings across the same building, and the non-handed body means you are only stocking the lever hand. That cuts the shelf count for a facilities or MRO stockroom down to two line items in 26D.
10) Can I get nightlatch key access without a lever, to keep the outside of the door simpler?
Yes. Instead of the Sargent 704-ETL lever trim, a pull or cylinder-only nightlatch trim gives the same key retract behavior with no outside lever. The Dexter ED1500 Series nightlatch trim uses a raised lip pull plate, the Design Hardware 2P-03NL pull trim has a cylinder hole for the 1000R and 2000R devices, the Tell EDPT pull trim is supplied with a cylinder hole less cylinder, and the Von Duprin 110MD-NL is a night latch cylinder assembly for metal and wood doors. The Sargent trim is the choice when you want one-hand lever operation on the outside.
11) Is a storeroom function exit trim the same thing as the Sargent 704-ETL nightlatch trim?
No. The Sargent 704-ETL is night latch function, meaning the lever is rigid and a key retracts the latchbolt. Storeroom trims such as the Design Hardware KIL Storeroom, the Marks USA M195F lever/rose trim, the Pamex E9000 with L3 lever, or the Tell EDELT80 escutcheon lever trim keep the lever locked until the key is turned, at which point the lever operates. If your access plan calls for key-in-lever operation rather than key retraction of the latch, the storeroom trims are the ones to look at.
12) Which heavy duty Grade 1 exit trims compare with the Sargent 704-ETL for a high traffic commercial opening?
The Sargent 704-ETL is a Grade 1 heavy duty commercial trim, through-bolted to the chassis. Comparable heavy duty trims include the Falcon 510L classroom function lever trim for 24/25 Series devices, the Von Duprin 210K-BE Grade 1 knob with blank escutcheon for 22 Series, and the Von Duprin 230DT dummy trim with 10 gauge steel escutcheon. Among Grade 1 lever trims, the Pamex E9000 storeroom trim and the Dexter ED1500T with regular lever are also in that class. Note that Falcon's 179L and 212L trims are medium duty rather than heavy duty.
13) The opening needs a fire rated exit trim. Which of the alternatives should I rule out?
If the drawing calls for a fire rated assembly, the Accentra 121NL nightlatch trim, 426F Augusta lever escutcheon trim, AU-441F night latch keyed lever trim and 446F classroom trim are all listed with a fire rating of No, so they would not satisfy that requirement. Verify the fire listing for the complete device and trim combination against the manufacturer documentation before you commit; the Sargent 704-ETL is a Grade 1 heavy duty commercial trim used on institutional, healthcare and educational openings where those listings are commonly required.
14) Our doors are 1-3/8 inch. Which exit device trims state a door thickness range that covers them?
Among the lever trims in this class, the Pamex E9000 storeroom trim lists a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Tell EDELT53 entry trim, EDELT80 storeroom trim and EDPT pull trim each list 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For the Sargent 704-ETL, confirm door thickness against the Sargent full line catalog before ordering, since the trim through-bolts to the exit device chassis and the device prep governs the opening.
15) Is there an alternative that comes with the cylinder already installed?
The Sargent 704-ETL is supplied less the 34 rim cylinder so you can key it into an existing system. Several alternatives are also supplied less cylinder, including the Dorma YR03R nightlatch lever trim, the Tell EDPT pull trim with cylinder hole, and the Dexter ED1000T classroom thumbpiece trim. If you want a trim that ships with the keyway defined, the Design Hardware KIL Entry and KIL Storeroom trims are specified with a Schlage C keyway and a flat lever.
16) What finish does the Sargent 704-ETL nightlatch trim come in?
26D, satin chromium plated over nickel. That is the standard satin chrome look that matches the vast majority of commercial exit hardware, so it coordinates with 630 stainless and other 26D trim already hung in most buildings.
17) We want keypad entry on the exit device instead of a keyed nightlatch trim. What are the options?
The Sargent 704-ETL is a mechanical keyed trim with no electronics. For credential or code entry on the exit device, the Dormakaba E-Plex 201U is an electronic pushbutton exit trim for wide stile doors, the PowerPlex P201U is an exit trim for rim, mortise and SVR devices, and the E-Plex 5067 is a mechanical pushbutton lock in mortise configuration. These change the outside access method entirely rather than substituting for the key retract function.
18) Does handing matter when I swap between the Sargent 704-ETL and other exit trims?
The Sargent 704-ETL is a non-handed design, though it is ordered in LHR and RHR configurations in 26D satin chromium plated over nickel with the L lever. Among the alternatives, the Command Access ET26 is described as field reversible, which is the equivalent convenience if you stock a single part for both hands. When comparing trims, confirm the handing convention at the exit device chassis as well as the trim.
19) We are matching 26D satin chrome across a building. Which alternative exit trims come in that finish?
The Sargent 704-ETL is offered in 26D satin chromium plated over nickel with the L lever. Among the alternatives, the Tell EDELT53 entry trim, EDELT80 storeroom trim, EDPT pull trim and EDTHP53 thumbpiece entry trim are all catalogued in 26D, and the Design Hardware 2P-03NL night latch pull trim is offered in 32D. Those give you finish continuity on secondary openings while the Sargent trim carries the nightlatch function.
