Sargent 68-2800 Rail Assembly — J-Wide (37" to 42" Doors), 80 Series Exit Device Replacement Part

The Sargent 68-2800 is a genuine OEM Rail Assembly designed as a direct replacement component for Sargent 80 Series exit devices. Also referenced by its full designation 12-55-86/87/88/89, this assembly is engineered to restore and maintain the structural integrity of the exit device rail — the backbone of the push-bar mechanism. The J rail stock size fits doors ranging from 37 inches to 42 inches in width, making it the correct choice for wider standard commercial door openings in this size range.

As a genuine Sargent OEM part, the 68-2800 Rail Assembly delivers the precise fit, finish, and durability expected of commercial-grade exit hardware. It is specifically compatible with Sargent 8600, 8700, 8800, and 8900 exit device models within the 80 Series family, covering a wide range of institutional and commercial applications where these devices are already installed.
