Sargent 97-2038 Non-Rated Bottom Latch Assembly - 8700 Series
The Sargent 97-2038 is a genuine OEM Bottom Latch Assembly specifically engineered for Sargent 8700 Series Surface Vertical Rod (SVR) exit devices. This non-rated assembly is the essential replacement part for older 8700 units manufactured before November 11, 2002. As the primary floor-level locking point, this factory-spec component ensures your legacy exit hardware remains secure and properly aligned with the threshold or floor strike.
Institutional Grade Features
- Legacy System Compatibility: Precision-engineered to fit the specific mounting footprints and internal rod-connection logic of 8700 series devices made prior to 11/11/2002.
- Non-Rated Optimization: Built for high-traffic commercial openings where a fire label is not required, focusing on high-cycle durability and smooth bolt travel.
- Reliable Floor Deadlocking: Features a heavy-duty bottom bolt designed to engage floor strikes securely, preventing the door from being pulled open from the exterior.
- Direct OEM Replacement: The professional solution for restoring "old-style" Sargent vertical rod systems without the high cost of a total hardware overhaul.
- Corrosion-Resistant Housing: Manufactured to withstand the environmental stress, cleaning chemicals, and debris common at the floor level of busy entrances.
