Sargent 97-0051 Spring for Latch Retractor Lever - Package of 4

The Sargent 97-0051 is a genuine OEM Latch Retractor Lever Spring specifically engineered for Sargent 12-8700 and 12-9700 Series fire-rated surface vertical rod exit devices. This high-tension spring provides the necessary mechanical force to return the latch retractor lever to its secure, locked position after the push bar is released. Sold in a package of 4, these factory-spec springs are essential for maintaining the fire-safety certification and reliable latching performance of your institutional door hardware.

Institutional Grade Features

• Fire-Rated Specialization: Designed specifically for the 12- prefix (fire-rated) versions of the 8700 and 9700 series, ensuring the door remains self-latching as required by life safety codes.
• Top Latch Assembly Precision: The primary spring used in the 12-8700 Top Latch Assembly, responsible for the "snap" that ensures the top bolt fully engages the strike.
• High-Cycle Durability: Manufactured from premium-grade spring steel to withstand the constant tension and rapid release cycles common in high-traffic schools, hospitals, and stairwell exits.
• Direct OEM Replacement: Guarantees perfect fitment within the retractor housing, preventing the "lazy latch" or "binding" issues often caused by generic tension springs.
• Maintenance Essential: Provided in a 4-pack to allow for the simultaneous servicing of both top and bottom latches on multiple openings.
