Sargent 1431 HTB Powerglide® Door Closer | Pull Side Hold Open Track Arm with Bumper

The Sargent 1431 HTB Door Closer is a premier architectural-grade solution designed for high-traffic commercial and institutional environments where aesthetics and safety are paramount. As a top-tier model in the Powerglide® series, the 1431 HTB features a Pull Side Hold Open Track Arm with an integrated Track Bumper. This low-profile design mounts the track directly to the frame face, eliminating the traditional projecting arm "elbow" while providing both a secure friction hold-open mechanism and a cushioned bumper to protect the door and frame from damage during forceful opening cycles.

Forged from a specialized 14% silicon aluminum alloy, the one-piece die-cast body offers industry-leading strength and wear resistance, certified to ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 standards. This non-handed closer is field-adjustable for spring power sizes 1 through 6, making it suitable for a wide range of interior and exterior door weights. Pre-filled with all-weather hydraulic fluid, the 1431 HTB ensures consistent, reliable performance in extreme temperatures without the need for manual seasonal adjustments.

Advanced Architectural Performance & Security

• Integrated Track Bumper: The HTB track includes a specialized bumper that assists the hydraulic backcheck by cushioning the door near its maximum opening angle (120°). This significantly reduces impact stress on the hinges and frame.
• Variable Hold Open Function: The adjustable holder mounted within the track allows the door to be secured in an open position at a specific angle, which is ideal for hospitals, schools, or any facility moving large equipment.
• Precision Hydraulic Control: A massive 1-1/2" diameter piston provides industrial-strength control. Separate, low-sensitivity brass valves allow for independent regulation of closing speed, latching speed, and backcheck intensity.
• Vandal-Resistant Engineering: All adjustment valves are controlled by an 1/8" Allen wrench and are captivated within the body to prevent unauthorized tampering or accidental removal.
• Fire Safety Certified: UL/cUL listed for use on fire-rated doors (up to 3 hours) and compliant with UL10C and UBC positive pressure standards.
