Sargent 125-PH9 Parallel Hold Open Foot Bracket — Arm Conversion for Sargent 351, 281 & 1431 Closers
The Sargent 125-PH9 is a factory-engineered arm conversion bracket that transforms an existing standard H (hold open) closer arm into a full PH9 parallel friction hold open arm configuration. Designed for use with the Sargent 351 PowerGlide, 281, and 1431 Series surface door closers, this bracket enables a parallel arm mounting without replacing the entire arm assembly — making it an efficient, cost-effective solution for retrofit and service applications.
What Is a Parallel Hold Open Arm?
A parallel arm mounting positions the closer body on the push (stop) side of the door. The arm runs parallel to the door when closed and swings with the door as it opens, keeping the arm and closer body away from the room side. This configuration is preferred when headroom must be preserved, door swing projection into a room or corridor is a concern, or when coordinating with other overhead hardware. The PH9 arm type adds friction hold open capability, allowing the door to be held open at any position from approximately 75° to 180° — a practical feature for high-traffic openings where the door must remain in an open position for extended periods.
Key Features & Benefits
- Arm conversion accessory: Converts an H (hold open) arm to PH9 parallel hold open foot configuration — avoids full arm replacement
- Friction hold open: Holds door open at any angle from 75° to 180° without auxiliary overhead holders
- Non-handed: Installs on left-hand or right-hand openings without modification
- Compatible closer series: Sargent 351, 281, and 1431 Series surface-mounted door closers
- Available finishes: EN (Aluminum Enamel) and EB (Bronze Enamel) to coordinate with door and frame finish
- Parallel arm application: Ideal for push-side installations where arm projection into the room must be minimized
Typical Applications
- Retrofit of existing Sargent 351, 281, or 1431 closer arms to parallel hold open configuration
- Commercial office, institutional, and educational facility doors requiring parallel arm mounting
- High-traffic corridors and service doors where doors need to remain held open
- Replacement part for worn or damaged PH9 foot brackets on existing installations
- Projects where parallel arm mounting is specified to avoid door closer projection into an occupied space
