Sargent 97-0296 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly is the Sargent 97-0296 part?
The 97-0296 is a genuine OEM replacement latchbolt for Sargent exit device hardware. It is the latching component itself, not a complete exit device or trim, and it is sold to restore proper latching on an existing Sargent device rather than to build a new opening.
2) My exit device is not latching properly. Is replacing the latchbolt the right fix?
If the failure is at the latch itself, worn, damaged, or no longer throwing and holding in the strike, the 97-0296 latchbolt is the part Sargent supplies to restore that function. If the problem is the device not retracting when the pushbar is operated, or a rod or strike alignment issue on a vertical rod setup, the latchbolt is not the culprit and swapping it will not solve it.
3) Will a Sargent 97-0296 latchbolt fit any brand of exit device?
No. It is built to Sargent's original equipment specifications for compatible Sargent exit device hardware. It is not a universal latchbolt, so a Von Duprin, Precision, or Corbin Russwin device needs that manufacturer's own part. Match the 97-0296 to your Sargent device series before ordering.
4) Is the 97-0296 latchbolt suitable for a high traffic commercial opening, or is it a light duty part?
It is a commercial-grade component, built for high-traffic commercial door applications such as schools, hospitals, offices, retail, warehouses, government buildings, and multi-tenant residential. It is classified as commercial, not residential, hardware.
5) Can our maintenance crew swap the 97-0296 latchbolt in the field, or does it need a locksmith?
The part is made to drop into the original device assembly, so the swap is a component-level service on hardware that is already installed rather than a re-prep of the door. Anyone comfortable disassembling the exit device chassis can do it. No change to door prep or strike is implied by the part itself.
6) Is 97-0296 an aftermarket latchbolt or the real Sargent part?
Genuine OEM, sourced from Sargent and made to the same specification as the latchbolt installed when the device was originally built. When you order it, the number to quote is Sargent 97-0296.
7) Should I stock the Sargent 97-0296 for a building standardized on Sargent exit devices?
For a facility running Sargent exit devices, keeping the OEM latchbolt on the shelf means a failed latch is a parts swap instead of a whole device replacement. It is catalogued by Sargent as a replacement part for exit devices, which is what MRO and property maintenance programs buy it for.
