Accentra 5831T Door Closer - Heavy Duty Parallel Arm Spring Stop and Hold Open

The Accentra 5831T Door Closer (formerly Yale) is a premium, high-traffic commercial solution engineered for maximum control and convenience. This Grade 1 certified cast iron closer features a specialized Heavy-Duty Rigid Parallel Arm equipped with both a Spring Stop and a Thumbturn Hold Open function. It is designed for demanding environments like schools, hospitals, and busy retail centers where protecting the door and frame from wall impact is as critical as the ability to maintain an open doorway for deliveries or heavy foot traffic.

Constructed with a rugged rack and pinion mechanism, the Accentra 5831T provides unmatched hydraulic reliability. As a high-performance retrofit for the LCN 4040XP, it utilizes the same 2-1/4" x 5" hole pattern, allowing for a seamless site upgrade without the need for additional drilling. With independent, non-critical valves for backcheck, closing speed, and latching speed, you have total command over the door’s operation across its entire swing.

Engineered for Protection and Accessibility

• Spring Stop Protection: The heavy-duty rigid arm includes a built-in buffer spring that provides a physical "dead stop," protecting the hardware and wall from damage caused by forceful opening.
  
• Integrated Thumbturn Hold Open: Features a mechanical thumbturn on the arm, allowing users to easily lock the door in an open position (typically between 85° and 110°) for hands-free access.
  
• ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 Durability: Rigorously tested for millions of cycles to exceed A156.4 standards, ensuring this cast iron closer outlasts standard commercial alternatives.
  
• Fully ADA Compliant: Features adjustable spring power (Size 1-6), allowing for low opening force settings that meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and ANSI/BHMA A117.1 requirements.
  
• Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Body: The rugged cast iron construction provides superior wear resistance and remains stable under high internal pressures, unlike aluminum-bodied closers.
• All-Weather Fluid: Utilizes specialized hydraulic fluid to ensure consistent closing speeds in extreme temperatures, preventing the door from slamming in winter or failing to close in summer.
