Sargent 97-0101 Retractor Spring — Genuine OEM Replacement for Sargent 80 Series Exit Devices

The Sargent 97-0101 is a genuine OEM retractor spring designed as a direct replacement component for Sargent 80 Series exit devices. When a retractor spring wears out or loses tension, the latch may fail to return properly — restoring the correct spring ensures reliable, code-compliant panic hardware operation. Sourcing a factory-original Sargent spring guarantees precise fit, correct spring rate, and long-term performance without the guesswork of aftermarket alternatives.
