Sargent 98-2469 Chassis Assembly for 80 Series Exit Devices (LHRB)

The Sargent 98-2469 (also referenced as 12-9804) is a genuine OEM Chassis Assembly engineered specifically 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 that force directly to this chassis, which retracts the latch bolt and enables controlled, code-compliant egress. Handing for this assembly is LHRB (Left Hand Reverse Bevel). Whether you are performing a field repair, a scheduled maintenance replacement, or a full device rebuild, the 98-2469 restores the 80 Series exit device to factory-correct operation using a direct OEM-matched part.
