Sargent 80 Series
The Sargent 80 Series is a Grade 1 exit device line built for schools, hospitals, and other high-traffic commercial buildings. DoorwaysPlus lists complete openings by chassis—wide-stile rim, surface vertical rod, mortise exit, or narrow-stile rim—together with 700 ET (ETL) outside trim, accessories, and replacement parts.
Why DoorwaysPlus / Since 1959
Since 1959, DoorwaysPlus (Gardner-Tobin, Inc.) in Dayton, Ohio has supplied commercial door hardware to contractors, facility managers, and building owners. We specify an 80 Series opening as a complete device and trim, backed by the templates and the 80 Series parts manual already linked on this page so you can confirm door prep before you order. Live listings include the 8888 rim, 8713 and 8710 surface vertical rods, 8913 and 8910 mortise exits, the 8510 narrow-stile rim, matching ETL trims (713, 713-8, 704, 706, 715, 740, 743-8, and 744), and chassis assemblies 68-4080 (LHRB) and 68-4081 (RHRB). Electrified openings use 55- for request-to-exit and 56- for electric latch retraction, and the power-transfer hinge for these exit devices is QC12. Orders placed by 2:00 PM ET ship the same day when the item is in stock, and UPS Ground is free on qualifying orders over $700 in the 48 continental states.

Complete your door opening with high-performance outside exit trims designed specifically for the 80 Series. We offer a vast selection of architectural lever styles, pulls, and thumbpiece trims in finishes like satin stainless steel (32D) and dark bronze (10B). From anti-vandal pull trims for high-abuse exterior doors to electrified lever controls for modern access systems, our trims provide the perfect balance of aesthetic appeal and rugged functionality.
Device Accessories
Fine-tune your installation with our comprehensive range of 80 Series accessories. This section includes essential hardware such as high-security strikes, specialized mounting shims, and mullions for double-door applications. These accessories are built to the same Grade 1 standards as the devices themselves, ensuring that every component of your exit system works in perfect harmony to meet strict building and fire codes.
80 Series Parts
Extend the life of your hardware with genuine Sargent 80 Series replacement parts. Instead of replacing an entire unit, you can find specific internal components including latchbolt assemblies, chassis covers, and metal end cap kits. We also stock common wear-and-tear items like Lexan touchpads and pivot pins, allowing facility managers to perform quick, cost-effective repairs that maintain the device's UL listing and warranty.
