Sargent 68-4557 Top Case Assembly 8700 Series

Product Description

The SARGENT 68-4557 is a top case assembly designed for use with the 8700 series exit device line. The top case assembly serves as the upper housing component of the exit device, enclosing and protecting the internal push bar mechanism and trim hardware. It is a structural and functional part of the door hardware assembly, maintaining alignment and integrity of the push bar operation. Licensed locksmiths, door hardware installers, and commercial facility maintenance technicians typically handle replacement or installation of this component.

This assembly is suited for commercial door hardware applications where the 8700 series exit device is installed. It is commonly found on steel or wood doors in commercial and institutional buildings requiring code-compliant panic hardware. The top case assembly is a direct replacement component used during repair or refurbishment of existing 8700 series units rather than a standalone exit device.
