Sargent 68-1137 Lift Arm | For HC & 53- Prefix Exit Devices

The Sargent 68-1137 is a genuine OEM non-standard lift arm (or lift lever) specifically engineered for Sargent’s reinforced and specialized exit devices. This component is the mechanical driver used within the HC (Hurricane Code) and 53- (High Security) prefix series. Built to handle significantly higher torque and structural stress than standard lift arms, the 68-1137 ensures that even reinforced, heavy-duty latches retract smoothly during emergency egress.

Specialized Engineering for Extreme Conditions

• HC Prefix Compatibility: Designed for Hurricane Code devices that are built to meet stringent wind-load and impact requirements. This arm provides the extra leverage needed for heavy-duty latching systems.
  
• 53- Prefix Support: Engineered for Sargent’s high-security hardware, ensuring the internal mechanism can actuate even when the door is under significant pressure or tension.
• Non-Standard Design: Unlike standard 80-series arms, the 68-1137 features a reinforced profile and specialized geometry to interact with the heavy-duty springs found in "HC" and "53" chassis.
  
• Institutional Grade Durability: Forged from high-strength alloys to resist bending or mechanical fatigue in the most demanding environments, such as coastal regions or high-security facilities.
• Restores OEM Functionality: Vital for maintaining the certification of wind-storm rated and fire-rated openings where third-party parts are not permitted.

Technical Specifications

• Model Number: 68-1137
• Part Type: Non-Standard Lift Arm / Lift Lever
  
• Device Prefix Compatibility: HC (Hurricane Code), 53- (High Security)
• Series Compatibility: Sargent 80 Series (Specialized configurations)
• Material: Heavy-Duty High-Tensile Steel

The Sargent 68-1137 is a critical part for "code-compliant" repairs. Because HC-prefix devices are often installed on doors that face extreme weather or high-security threats, the internal components are under much higher spring tension than standard panic bars. If your pushpad feels extraordinarily heavy or the latches are sticking on a wind-rated door, this arm may be worn or slightly bowed.

Maintenance Note: For any HC or 53-prefix installation, the structural integrity of the mounting is paramount. Always ensure the chassis is secured to the door using high-strength thru bolts. Standard screws can pull through under the high-pressure loads these devices are designed to handle, leading to internal misalignment and premature failure of the lift arm.
