Mounting Application Guide
The Sargent 1431 RUO is engineered to adapt to your specific architectural requirements:
- Regular Arm (Pull Side): The most efficient application for power and control. Recommended for interior doors where the closer is mounted on the hinge side.
- Top Jamb (Push Side): Ideal for exterior doors swinging out. The closer is mounted on the frame face to protect it from the weather.
- Parallel Arm (Push Side): The preferred choice for high-vandalism areas or narrow frames. The arm sits parallel to the door when closed, minimizing the projection into the room.
