Sargent 25-P9 Parallel Arm for 351, 1431 & 281 Series Door Closers
The Sargent 25-P9 is a standard parallel arm (push-side arm) designed for use with Sargent 351 PowerGlide, 1431, and 281 Series surface-mounted door closers. Built from forged steel for durability in high-traffic commercial and institutional openings, the P9 arm is non-handed — it installs on either hand of door without modification, simplifying procurement and stock management for facility managers, contractors, and purchasing agents.
What Is a Parallel Arm — and When Do You Need One?
In a parallel arm (push-side) application, the closer body mounts on the push (stop) side of the door. As the door opens, the closer swings with it rather than projecting into the room. This keeps the opening clear of hardware obstructions, allows a wider door swing than many top-jamb configurations, and protects the closer body from weather exposure on exterior doors. The P9 is the standard (non-hold-open) version — the arm designation "P9" in Sargent's letter-based system means: P = Parallel Arm, standard duty, regular institutional-grade construction.
Compatible Closer Models
- Sargent 351 Series (PowerGlide) — surface-mounted, ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 commercial closer
- Sargent 1431 Series — surface-mounted commercial closer
- Sargent 281 Series — surface-mounted closer, shorter body, suitable for narrower door leaves
Always verify your existing closer model before ordering to confirm arm compatibility. The 25-P9 is specifically engineered for these three Sargent series; it is not a universal arm.
Finish Options
The 25-P9 is available in multiple enamel finishes to coordinate with surrounding door hardware and architectural requirements:
- EN — Aluminum Enamel (light silver-tone, common interior specification)
- EB — Bronze Enamel (medium-bronze tone for darker frame finishes)
- EAB — Brass Enamel (warm brass tone)
Typical Applications
- Commercial office buildings — interior and exterior doors requiring push-side closer mounting
- Healthcare and institutional facilities where headroom clearance in the opening is critical
- School and government buildings specifying Sargent 351 or 281 Series closers
- Replacement arm for existing Sargent 351, 1431, or 281 installations where the original arm is damaged or worn
