Sargent 652 Black Top Bottom Strike Vertical Rod Exit Device

Product Description

The SARGENT 652 BLACK is a standard top and bottom strike designed for use with concealed vertical rod exit devices. This strike provides the door-frame receptacle points that accept the top and bottom rods of a concealed vertical rod exit device, allowing the latch bolts to engage securely when the door is closed. It is finished in black to coordinate with matching hardware on commercial door openings. Licensed door hardware technicians and commercial locksmiths install this component as part of a complete exit device assembly on steel or wood frames in commercial and institutional applications.

This strike is intended for commercial door openings equipped with concealed vertical rod exit devices in the SARGENT MD8400, MD8600, and WD8600 series. Typical installations include office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and other commercial occupancies where code-compliant egress hardware is required. The black finish is applied to the strike body and coordinates with black-finished exit device trim and door hardware.

Consult applicable fire and life safety codes for egress hardware requirements at the specific opening.
