Sargent 68-2117 Chassis Assembly for 8800 Series Exit Device

The Sargent 68-2117 is a genuine OEM chassis assembly designed as a core operating component for the Sargent 80 Series exit device, specifically compatible with the 8800 model. Also referenced by its assembly designation 12-HC, this replacement chassis serves as the mechanical heart of the exit device: when the push bar is depressed, the push rail transfers force directly to this chassis, which in turn retracts the latch bolt to allow safe, reliable egress. Restoring or replacing a worn or damaged chassis assembly with this factory-spec Sargent part returns the exit device to its original performance standard — a critical consideration for life-safety hardware maintained to code.

Institutional Grade Features & Benefits

• Genuine OEM Sargent Component: Factory-original chassis assembly ensures precise fit, function, and dimensional accuracy within the 8800 exit device housing — no modification or field adaptation required.
• Core Egress Mechanism: Serves as the primary mechanical linkage between the push rail and the latch retraction system, delivering consistent, repeatable egress performance under heavy commercial use.
• Direct-Fit 80 Series Compatibility: Engineered specifically for the Sargent 8800 exit device within the broader 80 Series product family, making part identification and ordering straightforward for facility managers, locksmiths, and door hardware professionals.
• Supports Code-Compliant Door Hardware Maintenance: Replacing a degraded chassis assembly restores the operational integrity of life-safety exit hardware, supporting ongoing compliance with building and fire egress codes.
• Reduced Downtime: A direct-replacement OEM part minimizes the time required to return a malfunctioning exit device to full service — particularly valuable in high-traffic institutional, commercial, and educational facilities.
