Sargent 1431 PHT Powerglide® Door Closer | Push Side Hold Open Track Arm
The Sargent 1431 PHT Door Closer is a heavy-duty, architectural-grade solution designed for high-traffic commercial and institutional environments. Part of the industry-leading Powerglide® series, the 1431 PHT features a Push Side Hold Open Track Arm, which provides a sleek, low-profile alternative to traditional projecting arms. This specialized track system mounts directly to the frame stop, offering a clean aesthetic while providing a reliable friction hold open function.
Forged from a specialized 14% silicon aluminum alloy, the one-piece die-cast body offers superior strength and wear resistance, engineered to exceed 25 million cycles. With adjustable spring power from Size 1 to 6, this non-handed closer is a versatile "one-box" solution for interior and exterior doors. The 1431 PHT is pre-filled with all-weather hydraulic fluid, ensuring consistent operation in extreme temperatures without the need for seasonal adjustments.
Advanced Architectural Performance & Convenience
- Integrated Hold Open Track: The PHT track includes an adjustable holder mounted within the extruded aluminum track. This allows the door to be secured in an open position at a range of 85° – 95°, perfect for high-frequency transition periods or moving equipment.
- Precision Hydraulic Control: A massive 1-1/2" diameter piston provides industrial-strength control. Separate, low-sensitivity brass valves allow for independent regulation of closing speed, latching speed, and backcheck intensity.
- Tamper-Resistant Security: All adjustment valves are controlled by an 1/8" Allen wrench and are captivated within the body to prevent unauthorized removal or vandalism.
- Vandal-Resistant Profile: The push-side track design eliminates the "elbow" of a standard arm, making it less susceptible to tampering and providing a streamlined look for modern interiors.
- Fire Safety Certified: UL/cUL listed for use on fire-rated doors (up to 3 hours) and compliant with UL10C and UBC positive pressure standards.
