Sargent 125-P9 Foot Bracket — Parallel Arm Closer Mount for 1431, 351 & 281 Series
The Sargent 125-P9 Foot Bracket is a purpose-built replacement and retrofit component that converts a regular closer arm to a P9 parallel arm mounting configuration. Designed for use with Sargent's popular 1431, 351 (Powerglide), and 281 Series surface door closers, this foot bracket enables push-side (stop-side) installation where projecting into the opening is not acceptable — a common requirement in high-traffic corridors, healthcare facilities, schools, and commercial buildings with limited headroom clearance.
What Is a Parallel Arm Mounting?
In a parallel arm (push-side) application, the closer body mounts on the push side of the door and the foot bracket attaches to the inside face of the frame. As the door opens, the arm swings parallel to the door rather than projecting into the room. This mounting style is widely specified when wall clearance is limited, when the door must open to a full 120°–180° swing, or when the overhead arm projection of a regular-arm mount would interfere with adjacent hardware or sidelites. The P9 designates a standard-duty parallel arm — non-handed, making it suitable for both left- and right-hand doors without modification.
Key Features & Benefits
- Converts regular arm to P9 parallel mounting — enables push-side installation on existing or new 1431, 351, and 281 Series closer bodies
- Non-handed — a single part number works on left-hand and right-hand doors; no separate handing required at order or installation
- Compatible with Sargent 1431, 351 Powerglide, and 281 Series closers — broad compatibility across Sargent's institutional and commercial closer families
- Standard parallel arm (P9) design — supports 120° to 180° door opening range depending on mounting position
- Available in multiple finishes to coordinate with surrounding hardware: EN (Aluminum Enamel), EB (Bronze Enamel), and EAB / Spray Gold (finish 696)
Typical Applications
- Retrofit or replacement of worn parallel arm foot brackets on existing Sargent closer installations
- New installations requiring push-side closer mounting in commercial, institutional, or healthcare environments
- Corridors, stairwells, and exit doors where arm projection into the opening must be minimized
- Any door opening where a standard or regular arm mount is being converted to parallel arm geometry
Parallel Arm vs. Regular Arm — Quick Reference
A regular (pull-side) arm mounts the closer on the hinge side of the door with the arm projecting toward the frame — ideal for interior doors but can limit swing in tight spaces. A parallel arm mounts the closer on the push side; the arm runs parallel to the door face when closed and swings clear of the opening as the door opens, providing full headroom and a wider swing arc. The 125-P9 foot bracket is the frame-side component that anchors the arm in this parallel configuration.
