Sargent 68-0511 End Cap Mounting Bracket - 80 Series

The Sargent 68-0511 is a genuine OEM End Cap Mounting Bracket designed for the Sargent 80 Series Exit Device line (including 8800, 8900, 8700, and 8500 series). This heavy-duty steel bracket is the primary anchor that secures the tail end of the exit device rail to the door. Once installed, the aesthetic plastic end cap (sold separately) mounts directly to this bracket, concealing the fasteners and providing a finished look. As a critical load-bearing component, the 68-0511 ensures the push bar remains level and stable during heavy use.

Institutional Grade Features

• Universal 80 Series Fit: Engineered to work seamlessly with all wide-stile Sargent panic bars, providing a factory-spec mounting solution.
• Structural Stability: Precision-formed to hold the exit device rail firmly against the door, preventing the "tail-end sag" that causes mechanical binding.
• Dual-Function Design: Serves as both the structural rail anchor and the mounting platform for the 68-0651 (non-fire) or 68-0652 (fire-rated) plastic end caps.
• Direct OEM Replacement: The professional solution for replacing bent, rusted, or missing brackets, restoring the original mounting integrity of the hardware.
• Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: Built to withstand the high-impact environment of school hallways, hospital corridors, and busy commercial exits.

The Sargent 68-0511 is often the first part to fail when a door is hit by a heavy cart or piece of equipment. If your exit device rail feels loose at the end opposite the latch, or if your plastic end cap keeps falling off, this metal bracket is likely bent or the screw holes have become stripped. Replacing the bracket is a cost-effective way to prevent the entire rail from vibrating loose, which can eventually damage the more expensive center chassis.
