Sargent 08-0166 Retainer Ring | For 8 Line Series Locks

The Sargent 08-0166 is a genuine OEM internal replacement part designed specifically for Sargent 8 Line Series Grade 1 bored-in locks. Identified as Part #14 on technical parts diagrams, this retainer ring is a fundamental component of the inside knob assembly. It provides the structural seating required for internal bushings and spindles, ensuring that the knob remains properly tensioned and aligned during every cycle.

Institutional Grade Features & Benefits

• Direct 8 Line Compatibility: Precision-engineered for the specialized "T-Zone" internal architecture found in Sargent’s heavy-duty 8 line knob sets.
• Essential Component Count: Most 8 line functions require 3 retainer rings per inside knob. For the 8U15 Latchset, a total of 6 rings are required for full assembly.
• Restores Internal Alignment: Replacing worn or bent retainer rings eliminates "slop" or excess play in the inside knob, restoring the factory-fresh feel of the lockset.
• Durable Industrial Steel: Manufactured from high-strength spring steel to withstand the constant rotational torque of high-traffic commercial environments.
• OEM Specification: Using genuine Sargent parts ensures that all internal clearances remain within factory tolerances, preventing premature wear on more expensive chassis components.
