Sargent 28-0116 Center Chassis Cover | For 3727 & 12-3727 Devices
The Sargent 28-0116 is a genuine OEM replacement Center Chassis Cover specifically designed for the Sargent 3727 and 12-3727 (Fire Rated) Surface Vertical Rod (SVR) Exit Devices. As the primary housing for the central mechanism, this cover protects the internal lift-arms, hubs, and rod connectors from dust, impact, and tampering. Maintaining a high-quality cover is critical for ensuring smooth mechanical operation and life-safety compliance in high-traffic commercial environments.

The Sargent 28-0116 is more than just an aesthetic piece; it is a vital safety component. A missing or loosely attached center cover can lead to mechanical failure if the internal rod connectors shift out of alignment. If your current cover is rattling, dented, or has visible gaps, it’s time for a replacement to ensure your exit device remains compliant with local building and fire codes.
Installation Note: To prevent the cover from loosening due to constant door vibration, the chassis must be rock-solid. We highly recommend anchoring the 3727 series device to the door leaf using high-strength thru bolts. A stable, thru-bolted connection ensures the 28-0116 cover seats perfectly flush against the chassis, reducing the risk of the cover screws backing out or stripping over time.
