Sargent 98-2517 Chassis Assembly for the 80 Series Exit Device

The Sargent 98-2517 is an OEM Chassis Assembly engineered as the core operating component of the Sargent 80 Series exit device. When the push bar is depressed, the push rail transfers force directly to this chassis, which retracts the latch bolt to allow immediate, code-compliant egress. This part is the mechanical heart of the exit device — precision-built to Sargent's original specifications for reliable, repeatable panic hardware performance.
