Sargent 68-2327 Chassis Assembly for 8863 Exit Device — 80 Series RHR

The Sargent 68-2327 is a genuine OEM chassis assembly engineered specifically for the Sargent 80 Series exit device. Designed for right-hand reverse (RHR) applications, this part serves as the core operating mechanism of the exit device. When the push bar is depressed, the push rail transfers that force directly to this chassis, which retracts the latch and allows safe, code-compliant egress. Keeping this assembly in proper working condition is essential to the reliable performance of the exit device on any commercial or institutional door.
