Discover the durability of PDQ’s 7100 series extra heavy duty door closer. This grade 1 door closer includes a cast iron body and forged steel arm. Certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 grade 1 standards, and UL listed for 3-hour fire doors, this extra heavy duty door closer ensures reliability. This door closer also meets ADA standards and is available in 6 different finishes.

Features:

• High strength cast iron body and forged steel arm assembly provide maximum durability and reliability in the most brutal environments
• Backcheck positioning valve feature provides a consistent backcheck snubbing range for regular, top jamb and parallel arm applications, preventing costly damage during forceful opening of the door
• The 7100 series has a fully adjustable spring range that can be set to meet barrier free requirements
• Maximum 3” reveal for top jamb.
• Heavy duty, fully featured architectural style door control

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.
• HO: Hold Open
• DS/DSHO: Heavy duty parallel 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 backcheck 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.
• 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: Spring Cushion Stop for DS/DSHO
• TA/TAHO: Track arm. The non-handed track arm mount incorporates a single forged main arm for installation in high use, high abuse door applications. It’s low profile helps prevent damage.
• EDA/EDAHO: Extra duty parallel arm. 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 backcheck 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.
