The Sargent 28-2087 is a specialized, high-capacity thru-bolt package specifically engineered for the heavy-duty installation of Sargent 12-3727 Fire-Rated Surface Vertical Rod (SVR) Exit Devices. This comprehensive set of 16 thru-bolts provides the maximum structural reinforcement required for 3-hour fire-rated openings. Designed for standard 1-3/4" thick doors, these bolts ensure that the vertical rod chassis and latches remain securely anchored during the extreme conditions of a fire emergency.

Maximum Reinforcement for Fire-Rated Egress

Using Sargent factory-certified hardware is a critical requirement for maintaining the UL Listing and safety integrity of your fire doors.

• Essential for Fire Doors: Thru-bolts are mandatory by code for the installation of fire exit hardware on mineral core wood doors (45-90 minute) and are highly recommended for non-reinforced hollow metal doors.
• Comprehensive Set of 16: The 28-2087 kit provides a full set of 16 bolts, covering all mounting points for the top chassis, bottom chassis, and central pushrail of the 12-3727 SVR device.
• Architectural Enamel Finishes: Available in EN (Aluminum Enamel) and EB (Bronze Enamel) to ensure a uniform look that matches your Sargent 30 Series exit device.
• Compliance Ready: Each package includes an instruction sheet specific to the 12-3727 device, ensuring your maintenance team or contractor can complete a code-compliant installation quickly.
