Sargent 646 Black Top Strike Door Hardware

Product Description

The SARGENT 646 BLACK is a top strike designed for use with commercial door hardware systems. A top strike provides the latching point at the head of a door frame, allowing the latch bolt or deadbolt to engage securely at the top of the door leaf. This component is finished in black and is intended for installation by licensed locksmiths, door hardware specialists, or commercial contractors working on exit device and lockset applications. It is a replacement or new-installation component for compatible SARGENT mortise, cylindrical, and exit device series.

The 646 BLACK top strike is applicable to SARGENT series including the (12)2727, (12)3727, (12/14/NB)8700, and (12/14)9700 product families. These series span commercial mortise locksets and exit devices commonly installed in office buildings, schools, hospitals, and institutional facilities. The black finish makes it suitable for doors and frames specified with dark or black hardware finishes to maintain a consistent aesthetic in commercial environments.

Verify that the finished opening dimensions meet the requirements of the door hardware series being installed. Consult applicable building codes and the hardware manufacturer documentation for proper fastener and backset requirements.
