Sargent 1431 POT Powerglide® Door Closer | Push Side Standard Track Arm

The Sargent 1431 POT Door Closer is a heavy-duty, commercial-grade solution designed for high-traffic environments where durability and a clean aesthetic are paramount. As a flagship model in the Powerglide® series, the 1431 POT features a Push Side Standard Track Arm, which mounts the track on the frame stop to eliminate the traditional projecting arm "elbow." This low-profile design is ideal for institutional settings like schools, hospitals, and office buildings where a modern look and resistance to vandalism are required.

Constructed from a one-piece die-cast aluminum silicon alloy with 14% silicon, the 1431 POT provides industry-leading strength and wear resistance, certified for over 25 million cycles. It features adjustable spring power from Size 1 to 6, allowing it to be fine-tuned for interior doors up to 5'0" wide. Please note that while track arms offer a streamlined appearance, Push Side Track applications generally require higher opening forces and may not meet ADA accessibility requirements.

Architectural Performance & Heavy-Duty Engineering

• Push Side Track Design: The extruded aluminum track and forged steel arm are mounted on the push side of the door, offering a sleek profile that is less susceptible to tampering or accidental damage.
• Precision Hydraulic Control: A large 1-1/2" diameter piston ensures smooth operation and superior door control. Independent brass valves allow for precise regulation of closing speed, latching speed, and backcheck.
  
• All-Weather Reliability: Pre-filled with all-weather hydraulic fluid, this closer operates consistently in extreme temperatures without the need for seasonal valve adjustments.
• Tamper-Resistant Hardware: All adjustment valves are controlled by an 1/8" Allen wrench and are captivated within the body to prevent unauthorized removal or damage.
• Fire Safety Certified: UL/cUL listed for use on fire doors (up to 3 hours) and compliant with UL10C and UBC positive pressure standards.
