Sargent 1431 POTB Powerglide® Door Closer | Push Side Track Arm with Bumper
The Sargent 1431 POTB Door Closer is a premium, heavy-duty solution engineered for high-traffic commercial and institutional environments. Part of the industry-leading Powerglide® series, the 1431 POTB features a Push Side Track Arm with an integrated Track Bumper. This specialized track system mounts directly to the frame stop, providing a sleek, low-profile alternative to traditional projecting arms. The built-in bumper assists the hydraulic backcheck by cushioning the door near its maximum opening angle, significantly reducing wear and tear on the door and frame during forceful opening cycles.
Forged from a specialized 14% silicon aluminum alloy, the one-piece die-cast body offers superior strength and wear resistance, engineered to exceed 15 million cycles. With adjustable spring power from Size 1 to 6, this non-handed closer is a versatile solution for interior and exterior doors. While track arms offer a modern aesthetic, please note that Push Side Track applications generally require higher opening forces and may not meet ADA accessibility requirements.
Advanced Engineering & Performance Features
- Integrated Track Bumper: The POTB track includes a specialized bumper that assists the hydraulic backcheck. Note: This bumper is a cushioning device and requires an auxiliary floor or wall stop for full protection.
- Precision Control Valves: Separate, low-sensitivity brass valves allow for independent regulation of closing speed, latching speed, and backcheck intensity.
- Vandal-Resistant Design: All adjustment valves are controlled by an 1/8" Allen wrench and are captivated within the body to prevent unauthorized removal or tampering.
- All-Weather Reliability: Pre-filled with all-weather hydraulic fluid, ensuring consistent operation in extreme temperatures ranging from winter cold to summer heat without the need for seasonal adjustments.
- Heavy Duty Piston: Features a 1-1/2" diameter piston for superior door control and a heat-treated full closed rack and pinion for precision hydraulic regulation.
