Sargent 97-0008 End Plug | Satin Chrome (US26D) for 90 Series

The Sargent 97-0008 is a genuine OEM replacement end plug designed specifically for the hinge-side of Sargent 90 Series Exit Devices. Finished in a durable US26D (Satin Chrome), this end plug serves both a functional and aesthetic purpose: it caps the end of the push-rail, protecting the internal mechanism from dust and debris while providing a clean, professional appearance. This is a critical component for institutional maintenance, ensuring that the exit device remains a closed, safe system.

• Maintains Rail Stability: Properly seating the 97-0008 helps prevent the push-rail from shifting or rattling during operation.

The Sargent 97-0008 is often the first part of an exit device to be damaged by service carts or heavy equipment hitting the door. A missing or broken end plug isn't just an eyesore; it can expose the internal main arm springs and pivot pins to contaminants that cause mechanical binding.

Installation Note: For a secure fit that resists vibration and tampering, ensure your 90 series chassis is firmly anchored to the door leaf. We recommend using high-strength thru bolts to mount the hinge-side end-case. If the case is loose on the door, it puts uneven pressure on the 97-0008 plug, which can cause the mounting screw (01-0014) to shear or the plug itself to crack over time.
