Sargent 68-7307 FM8713 Chassis Assembly — Sargent 80 Series Exit Device Replacement Part (RHR)

The Sargent 68-7307 FM8713 Chassis Assembly is a genuine OEM replacement chassis assembly engineered specifically for the Sargent 80 Series exit device. Also referenced as the FM8713 chassis, this component serves as the core operating mechanism of the 80 Series panic hardware. When the push bar is depressed, the push rail transfers that force directly to this chassis, which retracts the latch bolt to allow immediate egress. This is a Right Hand Reverse (RHR) handing configuration. If your 80 Series exit device is failing to retract the latch reliably, replacing the chassis assembly is the definitive corrective repair.

Institutional-Grade Features & Benefits
