Sargent 1431-C Closer Cover | For 1431 Powerglide Series

The Sargent 1431-C is a genuine OEM replacement cover designed specifically for the Sargent 1431 Powerglide Series surface door closers. This high-impact, fire-rated plastic cover provides a clean, architectural finish while shielding the closer’s cast-iron body and critical adjustment valves. By enclosing the regulated valves, the 1431-C prevents unauthorized tampering and protects the internal mechanism from dust and environmental wear in high-traffic commercial environments.

Professional-Grade Features & Benefits

• High-Impact Construction: Manufactured from heavy-duty, fire-rated ABS plastic designed to resist the dents and scratches common in school corridors and hospital halls.
• Clean Architectural Aesthetic: Restores the professional look of your door opening by replacing cracked, missing, or painted-over original covers.

The Sargent 1431-C is a critical component for maintaining facility safety. A missing or damaged cover often leads to unauthorized "adjustments" by tenants or staff, which can result in doors slamming or failing to latch—both of which are significant liability risks. Replacing a damaged 1431-C is a cost-effective way to secure your valves and maintain a professional appearance.

Installation Note: To ensure your closer operates quietly and the cover remains intact, the closer body must be perfectly stable. We recommend mounting the 1431 closer using high-strength thru bolts, especially on hollow metal or mineral core doors. A stable mount prevents the closer from vibrating against the 1431-C cover, which is the primary cause of cracked mounting clips and annoying rattles.
