Sargent 1431 PSH Powerglide® Door Closer | Heavy Duty Parallel Arm with Positive Stop & Hold Open
The Sargent 1431 PSH Door Closer represents the ultimate in door control for high-traffic, demanding commercial environments. As part of the elite Powerglide® series, this ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 surface-mounted closer is equipped with a Heavy Duty Parallel Hold Open Arm (PSH). This versatile arm combines a mechanical positive stop (85°–110°) with a friction hold-open feature, allowing users to secure the door in an open position for deliveries, heavy foot traffic, or ventilation without the need for separate door holders.
Built for longevity, the 1431 PSH exceeds 25 million cycles thanks to its high-silicon aluminum alloy body and heat-treated rack and pinion. It is an ideal "one-box" solution for exterior and interior doors, offering adjustable spring power from Size 1 to 6. With its all-weather hydraulic fluid, the closer maintains consistent closing and latching speeds in temperatures ranging from extreme heat to sub-zero cold, ensuring your facility remains secure and accessible year-round.
High-Performance Commercial Features
- Integrated Hold Open & Stop: The PSH Arm provides a built-in mechanical stop to prevent wall damage and a hold-open function that is easily adjusted to your desired angle.
- Superior Durability: Certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 and UL/cUL listed for up to 3-hour fire doors, conforming to positive pressure standards.
- Precision Control Valves: Three independent brass valves allow for high-sensitivity adjustment of closing speed, latching speed, and backcheck intensity.
- ADA Accessibility: Meets barrier-free accessibility codes across all applications (except push-side track), making it suitable for schools, hospitals, and government buildings.
- Abuse Resistant Design: Standard pressure relief valves protect the door and closer from structural damage caused by wind gusts or accidental abuse during the opening and closing cycles.
- Retrofit Optimized: Shares the same mounting footprint as the discontinued Sargent 1230 and 1231 series, allowing for seamless hardware upgrades.
