PDQ 719002 Hold Open Arm: Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Closer Hardware

The PDQ 719002 Hold Open Arm is the specialized, high-strength replacement arm designed exclusively for the PDQ 7101 and 7100 Series heavy-duty closers. This arm allows users to manually set the door to stay open at a predetermined angle—perfect for busy corridors, loading zones, or main entranceways where high pedestrian volume requires unobstructed access.

Crafted to match the industrial-grade performance of the 7100 Series, this arm features a robust friction-style hold open mechanism. It is built to withstand the torque and pressure of heavy, oversized, or exterior doors while maintaining smooth hydraulic operation.

The Hexagon Drive Advantage

Precision is critical when maintaining commercial door hardware. The PDQ 719002 is distinguished by its hexagon-shaped attachment point (similar to LCN closer arms) where the arm connects to the closer pinion. This hex-drive design ensures a high-torque, non-slip connection that is specific to the cast iron 7100 series, preventing the rounding and wear commonly seen in lesser-grade hardware.

Technical Specifications

Why Choose Genuine PDQ 719002 Hardware?

When servicing a Grade 1 Cast Iron Closer, using the correct OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) arm is the only way to ensure the longevity of your opening.

• High-Torque Stability: The hexagon interface is engineered to handle the massive spring power of the 7101 closer (Sizes 1–6) without slipping.
• Adjustable Retention: The hold-open tension can be fine-tuned to your facility’s specific needs, allowing for easy release with a firm pull or a more rigid hold for windy environments.
• Corrosion Resistance: Designed for longevity, the finish is matched to DoorwaysPlus.com’s inventory of architectural finishes for a seamless look.

Installation Compatibility Note

This arm is intended for use with the heavy-duty cast iron series only. If your closer body has a square-shaped pinion, please refer to the PDQ 999002 (for the 3100/5300 series). The 719002 is the required choice for institutional-grade applications where the 7101 "Iron Horse" is installed.
