Sargent 68-1394 Guarded Latch Bolt Guide Spring - Package of 5

The Sargent 68-1394 is a genuine OEM Guarded Latch Bolt Guide Spring specifically designed for the latch assembly of Sargent’s Grade 1 rim exit devices. This critical internal component provides the mechanical tension required for the deadlocking "guarded" feature of the latch. When the door is closed, this spring ensures the guard bolt remains engaged, preventing the main latch from being retracted by unauthorized tools or "shimming." Sold in a package of 5, these factory-spec springs are essential for maintaining the security integrity of your facility's perimeter and high-security doors.

Institutional Grade Features

• Deadlocking Security Logic: Engineered to provide the exact compression force needed to activate the deadlocking feature of the latch, ensuring the device is "pick-resistant" when the door is closed.
• Universal 80 Series Compatibility: The standard guide spring used in the Sargent 8800 and 12-8800 Series rim exit device latch bolt assemblies.
• Precision Mechanical Timing: Calibrated to ensure the guard bolt moves independently of the main latch bolt with zero binding or hesitation.
• High-Cycle Fatigue Resistance: Manufactured from premium-grade spring steel to withstand the millions of cycles required for Grade 1 certification in schools and hospitals.
• Direct OEM Replacement: Guarantees factory-perfect tension, preventing the "lazy guard bolt" issues common with generic or worn-out springs.
