Versatile Mounting Positions Explained
Choosing the right mounting application is critical for the longevity of your commercial door hardware. The PDQ 3101BF is non-handed and supports the following configurations:
- Regular Arm (Pull Side): The most efficient mounting style where the closer is on the door and the arm attaches to the frame. Ideal for interior in-swing doors where aesthetics and efficiency are priorities.
- Top Jamb (Push Side): Best for exterior out-swinging doors. The closer body is mounted to the frame, keeping the hardware protected while allowing for a maximum 3-11/16” reveal.
- Parallel Arm (Push Side): The preferred choice for areas prone to vandalism or where a sleek look is required. The arm sits parallel to the door face, eliminating the "protruding arm" look common in other mounts.
Superior Control with Hydraulic Backcheck
Safety is paramount in public spaces. The PDQ 3101BF features standard Hydraulic Backcheck (BC). This adjustable valve cushions the door's opening cycle, preventing it from being thrown open by wind or abusive traffic, which protects your door, frame, and surrounding walls from costly damage.
