Sargent 1431 OT Powerglide® Door Closer | Pull Side Standard Track Arm
The Sargent 1431 OT Door Closer is a heavy-duty, commercial-grade solution specifically engineered for high-traffic environments where a clean, low-profile aesthetic is required. As a flagship model in the Powerglide® series, the 1431 OT features a Standard Pull Side Track Arm, which mounts the track on the frame face to eliminate the traditional projecting arm "elbow." This design is ideal for institutional settings like schools, hospitals, and office buildings where a modern look and resistance to vandalism are priorities.
Forged from a specialized 14% silicon aluminum alloy, the one-piece die-cast body provides industry-leading strength and wear resistance. Its heat-treated full closed rack and pinion ensures precise door control from the full open position down to the final latch. With adjustable spring power from Size 1 to 6, this closer meets all ADA accessibility requirements while maintaining the robust force needed for fire-rated perimeters.
Architectural Performance & Safety Features
- Low-Profile Track Design: The extruded aluminum track and forged steel arm with a bearing roller are mounted on the pull side, providing a modern look and reducing the risk of the arm being used as a lever for tampering.
- Precision Hydraulic Control: Features a large 1-1/2" diameter piston for superior control. Separate brass valves allow for independent regulation of closing speed, latching speed, and backcheck.
- All-Weather Reliability: Pre-filled with all-weather hydraulic fluid, ensuring the closer operates effectively in extreme temperatures without the need for seasonal valve adjustments.
- Tamper-Resistant Engineering: All adjustment valves are controlled via an 1/8" Allen wrench and are captivated within the body to prevent accidental removal or vandalism.
- Fire Safety Certified: UL/cUL listed for use on fire doors (up to 3 hours) and compliant with UL10C and UBC positive pressure standards.
