Features:

• Traditional door style door control for use in commercial door applications
• Fasteners are provided to facilitate installation on wood, hollow metal and aluminum doors and frames
• The closers are non-handed and tri-packed for maximum versatility to permit regular, top-jamb and parallel arm installations
• The common 9-1/16” mounting hole pattern permits simple installation on new and retrofit applications.
• Maximum 3-11/16” reveal for top jamb.

Applications:

• Aluminum storefronts
• Assisted living
• Hospitality
• Interior offices
• Multi-family

Arm Options:

• PA: Parallel arm. Parallel arm mount is a push side double lever arm application. The closer is installed on the push side of the door and the arm is mounted to a parallel arm adapter plate installed to the frame soffit. The arm is approximately parallel with the face of the door, eliminating the projection condition evident with regular arm and top jamb applications. Parallel arm is often preferred where aesthetics or vandalism are concerns. Parallel arm is less efficient than regular or top jamb mounts due to the geometry of the arm. Parallel arm application can be used with non-hold open or hold open arms.
• PS: Pivot stop arm
• HO: Hold open
• DS/DSHO: Heavy duty parallel arm stop. The parallel stop arm mount is an enhanced version of the parallel arm application. It is similar to the parallel arm mount but incorporates a heavy duty rigid arm and soffit plate with limiting dead stop. The dead stop feature is field handed. The closer’s back check function should be adjusted to cushion the impact of the stop. The parallel stop arm is intended for use where an auxiliary stop cannot be utilized. The parallel stop arm is available in non-hold open (DS) and hold open (DSHO) applications. For EDA (extra duty PA arm) applications, remove stop from soffit bracket. Requires separate limiting stop by others.
• RA: Regular arm. Regular arm mount is a pull side application with double lever arm. The closer mounts on the door and the arm mounts to the frame. It provides the most efficient operation for a door control and is commonly used on in-swing doors from corridors or other interior doors. Regular arm mount is a poor choice for exterior out-swinging doors as it would put the closer on the exterior of the building. The arm assembly projects directly out from the frame. That may be a concern for vandalism or aesthetics. Regular arm application can be used with non-hold open or hold open arms.
• SCS/SCSHO: Heavy duty parallel arm cushion stop
