Sargent 351 PS Powerglide® Door Closer | Heavy Duty Parallel Arm with Positive Stop
The Sargent 351 PS Door Closer is a premier, heavy-duty surface closer engineered for the most demanding high-traffic commercial and institutional environments. Part of the industry-leading Powerglide® series, the 351 PS features a Heavy Duty Parallel Arm with an integrated Positive Stop. This specialized arm mechanically limits the door's opening range (adjustable between 85° and 110°), protecting the door, frame, and adjacent walls from damage without the need for an external overhead stop.
Constructed from a unique 14% silicon aluminum alloy, the one-piece die-cast body provides superior strength and wear resistance. The heat-treated full closed rack and pinion ensures total hydraulic control throughout the entire door cycle. This ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 closer is fully adjustable from Size 1 to 6, making it a robust solution that meets all ADA accessibility requirements while providing the power needed for large exterior or fire-rated doors.
Professional Performance & Protection Features
- Integrated Positive Stop: The forged steel PS arm includes a built-in stop that prevents the door from over-swinging, making it ideal for corridors or areas where wall-mounted stops cannot be used.
- Industrial Strength Construction: The 351 Series is built to exceed 25 million cycles, featuring a 1-1/2" diameter piston for unmatched door control and longevity.
- Precision Control Valves: Tamper-resistant brass valves offer independent regulation of closing speed, latching speed, and backcheck. All valves are captivated to prevent accidental removal.
- All-Weather Reliability: Pre-filled with all-weather hydraulic fluid, ensuring consistent operation in extreme temperatures without the need for seasonal adjustments.
- Safety & Code Compliance: UL/cUL listed for use on fire-rated doors (up to 3 hours) and compliant with UL10C and UBC 7-2 positive pressure standards.
- MicroShield® Antimicrobial Option: Available with a silver-based finish that permanently suppresses the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew—essential for healthcare and school settings.
