Sargent 68-5946 Chassis Assembly for 8400 Series Exit Device — LHRB
The Sargent 68-5946 is a ½″ clad chassis assembly engineered for the Sargent 8400 Series exit device (80 Series platform). When the push bar is depressed, the push rail transfers force to this chassis, which retracts the latch to allow egress. This is the core operating chassis assembly that keeps the 8400 Series exit device functioning reliably cycle after cycle. Handing: LHRB (Left Hand Reverse Bevel).
Institutional-Grade Features & Benefits
- OEM Sargent Component: Manufactured to the exact tolerances of the original 8400 Series exit device, ensuring a direct-fit replacement with no field modification.
- Core Operating Mechanism: Serves as the mechanical heart of the exit device — receives push-rail force and translates it into reliable latch retraction for code-compliant egress.
- ½″ Clad Construction: The clad chassis profile is designed specifically for standard ½″ door preparations common in commercial and institutional applications.
- 80 Series Platform Compatibility: Engineered exclusively for the Sargent 80 Series exit device line, specifically the 8400 model designation, ensuring a precise match to existing hardware.
- LHRB Handing: Pre-configured for Left Hand Reverse Bevel applications — confirm door handing before ordering.
- Reduces Downtime: Sourcing the correct OEM chassis assembly restores full exit device operation quickly, minimizing disruption in high-traffic commercial, institutional, or industrial facilities.
- Life-Safety Critical Part: Proper chassis function is essential for NFPA 101 Life Safety Code compliance on fire-rated and non-fire-rated egress doors equipped with panic or fire exit hardware.
