Sargent 68-0239 Pivot Pin | For 80 Series Lift Arm
The Sargent 68-0239 is a genuine OEM replacement pivot pin designed specifically for the internal lift arm assembly of Sargent 80 Series Exit Devices (including the 8700 SVR, 8800 Rim, and 8900 Mortise). This pin serves as the fulcrum for the 68-0241 Lift Arm, allowing it to rotate smoothly when the pushpad is depressed. Because this pin bears the primary mechanical load during latch retraction, using a genuine Sargent hardened-steel replacement is essential for maintaining the life-safety integrity of the door.
Heavy-Duty Mechanical Features
- Precision Fulcrum Design: Engineered to factory tolerances to eliminate "play" or "slop" in the panic bar mechanism.
- Direct 80 Series Compatibility: Designed specifically for the heavy-duty chassis found in Sargent’s flagship architectural exit devices.
- High-Shear Resistance: Manufactured from hardened steel to withstand the constant rotational force and torque of high-traffic commercial use.
- Smooth Operation: Replacing a notched or worn pivot pin restores the "light touch" operation required for ADA compliance and emergency egress.
- OEM Reliability: Ensures 100% compatibility with existing 68-0241 lift arms and chassis mounting points.

The Sargent 68-0239 is often the hidden cause of a "stuck" or "binding" exit device. Over millions of cycles, the pin can develop a small groove or "notch" where it meets the lift arm, causing the mechanism to catch. If you are already replacing the 68-0241 Lift Arm, we highly recommend replacing this pivot pin at the same time to ensure a completely smooth mechanical rebuild.
Installation Note: For long-term reliability in high-vibration environments, verify that the exit device chassis is firmly anchored to the door leaf using high-strength thru bolts. A loose chassis allows the internal components to shift, which puts uneven side-pressure on this pivot pin and can lead to premature shearing or bending.
