Sargent 730-7 Spindle Kit | For 700 Series ET Trim (1-3/4" Doors)

The Sargent 730-7 is a genuine factory replacement kit designed to maintain and repair Sargent 700 Series ET (Extra Thick) Outside Trim. The spindle is the critical drive component that transfers the rotation of the lever to the exit device's internal mechanism. Over time, high-traffic use can lead to spindle wear or shearing; this all-in-one kit provides everything needed to refresh the assembly and ensure a secure, "slop-free" handle operation.

Comprehensive Repair & Installation Features

• All-In-One Solution: Includes the spindle, retainer plate, mounting screw, and washer, eliminating the need to source individual internal components.
  
• Optimized for 1-3/4" Doors: Specifically includes thru bolts sized for the industry-standard 1-3/4" door thickness, ensuring a flush and professional fit.
  
• Heavy-Duty Security: Utilizes high-strength thru bolts to anchor the ET trim to the door, providing a robust mechanical bond that prevents the handle from pulling away or loosening under heavy use.
  
• Precision Engineering: Designed specifically for the Sargent 700 Series, ensuring perfect timing and travel for the lever's rotation.
• Direct OEM Replacement: Manufactured by Sargent to original specifications, guaranteeing compatibility with your existing 700 Series exit device hardware.

The Sargent 730-7 is the professional's choice for fixing a "loose" or "spinning" lever handle on an exit device. If the lever turns but the door doesn't open, the spindle or the retainer plate has likely failed. When installing this kit, ensure the thru bolts are tightened evenly to avoid "binding" the spindle. A drop of medium-strength thread locker on the assembly screw can prevent future loosening in high-vibration environments like school hallways or stairwells.

Maintenance Note: This kit is specifically sized for 1-3/4" doors. If you are working with a thicker 2" or 2-1/4" door, please contact us for the appropriate extended bolt and spindle length to ensure safe operation.
