Sargent 68-2457 Chassis Pack — 80 Series Exit Device Chassis Assembly (RHRB)

The Sargent 68-2457 is a genuine OEM Chassis Assembly (Chassis Pack) engineered for the Sargent 80 Series exit device. This core operating component serves as the mechanical heart of the exit device: when the push bar is depressed, the push rail transfers that force directly to the chassis, retracting the latch and enabling smooth, code-compliant egress. Handing is RHRB (Right Hand Reverse Bevel). The 68-2457 chassis pack is a direct-fit, factory-sourced replacement that restores the exit device to original operating condition without modification.

Institutional Grade Features & Benefits

• Genuine OEM Component: Sourced directly from Sargent, ensuring exact dimensional fit and performance standards for the 80 Series platform.
• Core Egress Mechanism: Serves as the primary chassis assembly — the push rail transmits push-bar force to this unit to retract the latch and allow egress.
• Fire-Rated Device Compatibility: Designed for use with the Sargent 12-8715, a fire-rated 80 Series exit device, meeting the demands of fire-rated door assemblies in institutional and commercial environments.
• RHRB Handing: Factory-configured for Right Hand Reverse Bevel door applications — see handing diagram for reference.
• Restore Original Function: Ideal for preventive maintenance, field repair, or restoring worn or damaged exit devices to like-new operating performance.
• Reduced Downtime: A direct chassis pack replacement minimizes labor time compared to full device replacement, making it a cost-effective service solution for facility managers and door hardware professionals.

Applications

The Sargent 68-2457 Chassis Pack is suited for commercial and institutional facilities requiring maintained egress hardware on fire-rated door assemblies, including schools, hospitals, government buildings, offices, and other high-traffic environments where the Sargent 80 Series exit device is installed.
