Sargent 68-2216 Chassis Assembly for 8866 Exit Device — LHRB (Less Cover)

The Sargent 68-2216 is a genuine OEM chassis assembly designed for the Sargent 80 Series exit device, specifically compatible with the 8866 model. This is a less cover (LC) replacement part, meaning it ships without the decorative cover — ideal for service technicians and facilities professionals replacing the internal operating mechanism of an existing 8866 exit device. Handed for Left Hand Reverse Bevel (LHRB) applications. When the push bar is depressed, the push rail transfers force directly to this chassis assembly, which retracts the latch bolt to enable smooth, code-compliant egress through the door.

Institutional Grade Features & Benefits

• Genuine OEM Sargent Component: Engineered and manufactured to exact Sargent tolerances, ensuring reliable performance and a proper fit within the 8866 exit device without modification.
• Core Egress Mechanism: Functions as the central operating assembly of the exit device — translating push-bar force into latch retraction for dependable, repeatable egress performance.
• Less Cover Configuration: Supplied without the outer cover, reducing cost when only the internal chassis requires replacement and the existing cover is serviceable.
• Correct Handing — LHRB: Factory-configured for Left Hand Reverse Bevel door applications; handing is set at the chassis level for accurate installation.
• 80 Series Platform Compatibility: Engineered specifically for the Sargent 80 Series exit device line, maintaining the integrity of the original device assembly.
• Streamlined Field Replacement: A direct drop-in service part that reduces downtime during maintenance, repair, or restoration of 8866 exit devices in commercial and institutional facilities.
