Sargent 68-2352 Chassis Assembly for 8816 Exit Device — Less Cover, LHRB

The Sargent 68-2352 is a factory-replacement chassis assembly (less cover) designed for the Sargent 8816 80 Series exit device. This is the core operating assembly that drives the mechanical function of the exit device: when the push bar is pressed, the push rail transfers force to this chassis, which retracts the latch to allow egress. Handing is Left Hand Reverse Bevel (LHRB). A handing diagram accompanies this listing.
