Sargent 97-2963 Top Case Assembly 12 Unit

Product Description

The SARGENT 97-2963 is a 12-unit top case assembly designed as a replacement component for SARGENT hardware manufactured before November 11, 2002. This assembly serves as the upper housing enclosure for compatible SARGENT locksets or exit device systems, providing the structural casing that protects internal mechanisms and maintains proper alignment of operating components. It is typically installed by licensed locksmiths, door hardware specialists, or commercial facilities maintenance professionals performing replacement work on legacy SARGENT hardware installations.

This top case assembly is suited for commercial door hardware applications where the original upper case has become damaged, worn, or requires replacement as part of a hardware refurbishment. The pre-November 2002 date designation is a critical compatibility qualifier, meaning this part is specific to earlier production runs of the applicable SARGENT product line. Installers should verify the manufacture date of the existing hardware before ordering to confirm correct fitment.

• Applies specifically to units manufactured before November 11, 2002

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified locksmith or door hardware technician familiar with SARGENT exit device or lockset systems. Disengage and secure the door hardware fully before disassembling the existing case. Refer to SARGENT service documentation for the applicable product line to confirm correct reassembly sequence and component orientation. Do not force the case into position, as improper seating can interfere with internal mechanism function.
