Sargent 68-3717 Chassis Assembly for 80 Series Exit Device — 8715 LHR

The Sargent 68-3717 is a genuine OEM chassis assembly 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 force directly to this chassis, which retracts the latch bolt to allow safe, code-compliant egress. Designed for the 8715 model in the 80 Series family, this replacement chassis restores proper latch-retraction function and ensures continued life-safety performance of the exit device assembly. Handing: LHR (Left Hand Reverse).

Institutional Grade Features & Benefits

• Genuine Sargent OEM Part: Manufactured to the same tolerances and materials as the original factory component, ensuring a precise drop-in fit for the 80 Series exit device.
• Core Latch-Retraction Mechanism: Directly receives push-rail force and converts it into reliable latch retraction — the fundamental action required for life-safety egress compliance.
• Restores Exit Device Function: A worn or damaged chassis is a common source of push-bar failure; replacing it with part 68-3717 returns the exit device to full operational specification.
• 80 Series Platform Compatibility: Engineered specifically for the Sargent 80 Series product platform, maintaining compatibility across the series' hardware ecosystem.
• Reduces Full-Device Replacement Cost: Targeting the chassis assembly rather than replacing the entire exit device unit significantly lowers material and labor costs for facility maintenance teams.
• Suitable for Commercial & Institutional Applications: Ideal for schools, hospitals, office buildings, retail facilities, and any commercial occupancy relying on Sargent 80 Series panic hardware.

Applications

The Sargent 68-3717 chassis assembly is the correct service part for facilities managers, door hardware distributors, and licensed locksmiths performing maintenance or repair on Sargent 8715 exit devices in the 80 Series lineup.
