Sargent 68-2116 Chassis Assembly for 8800 Series Exit Device

The Sargent 68-2116 is a genuine OEM Chassis Assembly engineered as the core operating component for the Sargent 80 Series exit device, specifically compatible with the 8800 model. Also referenced as the Sargent 68-2116 HC 8800 chassis assembly, this replacement part sits at the mechanical heart of the exit device. When the push bar is depressed, the push rail transfers that force directly to this chassis, which actuates latch retraction to provide immediate, code-compliant egress. Sourcing a factory-correct chassis assembly ensures the device continues to perform exactly as originally designed — maintaining reliable latching, smooth push-bar action, and dependable emergency egress function.

Institutional-Grade Features & Benefits

• Genuine OEM Sargent Part: Manufactured to the same tolerances as the original factory-installed component, ensuring a precise drop-in fit within the 8800 Series exit device without field modification.
