Sargent 68-6047 Chassis Assembly – 80 Series Exit Device Replacement Part (RHRB)

The Sargent 68-6047 is a chassis assembly engineered as a core operating component for the Sargent 80 Series exit device. Specifically compatible with the Sargent 8710 exit device in a right-hand reverse bevel (RHRB) configuration, this OEM-grade part serves as the mechanical heart of the push-rail egress system. When the push bar is depressed, the push rail transfers that force directly to this chassis assembly, which actuates latch retraction to allow controlled egress. Replacing a worn or damaged chassis restores the exit device to full, code-compliant operation without requiring a complete device replacement.

Institutional Grade Features & Benefits

• OEM Sargent Fit: Manufactured to Sargent's exact tolerances, ensuring seamless drop-in compatibility with the 8710 exit device and consistent, reliable latch retraction performance.
• Core Mechanical Function: The chassis assembly is the primary force-transfer component — it receives push-rail input and converts it into precise latch retraction, maintaining smooth, dependable egress every cycle.
• Handing-Specific Design: Configured for RHRB (Right Hand Reverse Bevel) doors, ensuring correct geometry and operation for that specific door application.
• 80 Series Compatibility: Designed exclusively for the Sargent 80 Series platform, the most widely specified Sargent exit device line in commercial and institutional construction.
• Cost-Effective Service Solution: Replacing the chassis assembly extends the service life of an existing 8710 exit device, avoiding the higher cost of full device replacement while restoring like-new function.
• Commercial & Institutional Grade: Built to withstand the high-cycle demands of schools, hospitals, government facilities, retail centers, and other high-traffic egress applications.
