Sargent 68-2326 Chassis Assembly for 8863 80 Series Exit Device — Left Hand Reverse (LHR)

The Sargent 68-2326 is an OEM chassis assembly engineered for the Sargent 80 Series exit device, specifically the 8863 model. Handing: Left Hand Reverse (LHR). This core operating component serves as the mechanical heart of the exit device: when the push bar or push rail is depressed, the chassis assembly translates that force into latch retraction, enabling reliable, code-compliant egress. Sourced directly from Sargent, this replacement chassis restores factory-level performance to your exit device without the cost of a full device replacement.
