PDQ 719016 Door Stop & Hold Open Arm | Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Series

The PDQ 719016 Door Stop & Hold Open Arm is the most robust, multi-functional arm assembly available for the PDQ 7100 and 7101 Series closers. Designed for "Iron Horse" cast iron units, this arm solves three problems at once: it controls the door's closing, provides a mechanical Dead Stop to prevent wall damage, and offers a Hold Open feature for convenient hands-free access.

This is the premier hardware choice for high-abuse environments like schools, gymnasiums, and industrial loading zones where doors are frequently pushed to their limits but occasionally need to remain open for foot traffic or deliveries.

The Critical Hexagon Drive Interface

When maintaining commercial door hardware, the connection point is everything. The PDQ 719016 is engineered with a hexagon-shaped hole at the attachment point where the arm meets the closer pinion.

Unlike the square drive found on lighter-duty aluminum closers, this Hex-Drive system is designed to handle the massive torque generated by heavy-duty cast iron closers. It ensures a non-slip, high-strength bond that won't strip or round out under the stress of a door hitting the integrated mechanical stop.

Why Choose the PDQ 719106 from Doorways Plus?

At DoorwaysPlus.com, we provide architectural-grade solutions that last. The 719016 Stop and Hold Open Arm offers superior value by combining two essential functions:

• Integrated Mechanical Dead Stop: A rigid physical barrier stops the door at its maximum opening angle (usually 85° to 110°), protecting the closer body, hinges, and frame from "over-swing" damage caused by wind or abuse.
• Convenient Hold Open: A simple mechanical engagement allows the door to stay open when needed. This is ideal for high-traffic transition periods or maintenance tasks.
• Vandal-Resistant Parallel Mount: By mounting on the push side of the door, the hardware is tucked away from the pull-side corridor, reducing the risk of tampering and improving aesthetics.
• OEM Precision: Using the genuine PDQ 719016 ensures your Grade 1 rating is preserved, keeping your facility compliant with safety and accessibility codes.

Technical Note: This arm is designed for the 7100 series cast iron closer only. Please verify your closer pinion is hexagonal before ordering. For square-pinion closers (3100/5300 series), please see the PDQ 999016.
