Sargent 351 UH Powerglide® Door Closer | Universal Friction Hold Open Arm
The Sargent 351 UH Door Closer is a heavy-duty, Grade 1 certified hydraulic closer designed for maximum versatility in high-traffic commercial and institutional settings. As the flagship of the Powerglide® 351 series, the 351 UH features a Universal Friction Hold Open Arm, allowing the door to be secured in an open position at a user-defined angle. This "one-box" solution is engineered for Regular, Top Jamb, or Parallel Arm mounting, providing contractors and facility managers with ultimate flexibility for any installation requirement.
Forged from a specialized 14% silicon aluminum alloy, the one-piece body offers industry-leading strength and wear resistance. With a heat-treated full closed rack and pinion, the 351 UH delivers smooth, precise door control throughout the entire opening and closing cycle. It is pre-filled with all-weather hydraulic fluid, ensuring consistent performance in extreme temperatures without the need for seasonal valve adjustments.
Professional Commercial Features
