Sargent 98-0028 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Sargent 98-0028 latchbolt spring fit a Sargent 98 Series vertical rod exit device, or is it rim only?
Both. The 98-0028 latchbolt spring is the OEM replacement for Sargent 98 Series rim and vertical rod exit devices, so it covers either configuration in the 98 family. What it does not cover is a different Sargent series or another manufacturer's device, the spring is matched to 98 Series geometry and tension.
2) My Sargent 98 exit device latches weakly and sometimes does not catch the strike, is a spring the fix?
That is the symptom this part addresses. A tired latchbolt spring no longer supplies the tension needed for full latchbolt extension, which shows up as weak latching, incomplete engagement, or inconsistent operation. The Sargent 98-0028 spring restores the correct tension so the bolt extends and retracts properly. If the device is a 98 Series rim or vertical rod unit, replacing the spring is the repair before you consider swapping the whole device.
3) Can I repair a Sargent 98 exit device with this spring instead of replacing the whole device?
That is the point of carrying it. Swapping the 98-0028 latchbolt spring restores latch performance on an existing 98 Series device, which keeps a refurbishment project to a component change rather than a full device and trim replacement. Facilities crews doing school or hospital retrofits use it exactly this way. If the device body or rods are damaged rather than just soft-latching, a spring will not recover it.
4) Is the Sargent 98-0028 a genuine Sargent part or an aftermarket spring?
Genuine OEM. The 98-0028 latchbolt spring is manufactured to original Sargent specifications for the 98 Series, not a generic substitute. For a distributor or a locksmith carrying repair stock, the ordering identity is simply Sargent 98-0028, one model, no handing or finish to specify.
5) Do I have to specify handing, finish, or length when ordering the Sargent 98-0028 spring?
No options to pick. The 98-0028 ships as a single model with no handing, finish, or size choice, so a maintenance buyer stocking spares for a building full of Sargent 98 devices orders the same part number every time regardless of which opening it goes into.
6) Is the Sargent 98-0028 spring rated for commercial panic hardware use or is it a light-duty part?
Commercial. Sargent classes the 98-0028 as commercial door hardware, and it is built in spring steel to hold up under the cycle counts a school, hospital, or office entrance puts on panic hardware. That is the difference that matters if you are repairing a high traffic egress door rather than a back office.
7) Is the BEST Arm-A-Dor A104-001 kit an alternative to a Sargent 98 Series latchbolt spring?
No. The Sargent 98-0028 is a latchbolt spring, a replacement part that restores latch tension inside an existing Sargent 98 Series rim or vertical rod exit device. The BEST A104-001 is a low profile installation kit in the Arm-A-Dor series, intended for door jambs greater than 6-3/4 inches, so it addresses mounting an Arm-A-Dor device to the opening rather than repairing latch operation in a 98 Series device. A weak or inconsistent latch on a Sargent 98 device is corrected with the 98-0028 spring; the two parts do not stand in for one another.
