Sargent 1431 RUO Powerglide® Door Closer | Heavy Duty Universal Arm
The Sargent 1431 RUO Door Closer is the industry standard for high-traffic commercial environments, including schools, healthcare facilities, and office complexes. Part of the renowned Powerglide® series, this Grade 1 surface mounted closer is engineered for maximum durability and flexibility. The RUO Universal Arm package provides all necessary brackets and components for Regular, Top Jamb, or Parallel Arm mounting, making it a "one-box" solution for nearly any door application.
Constructed from a high-silicon aluminum alloy, the 1431 Series features a heavy-duty one-piece body and a heat-treated full rack and pinion mechanism. This ensures superior wear resistance and consistent performance under extreme conditions. With adjustable spring power from Size 1 to 6, this closer is fully compliant with ADA accessibility requirements while maintaining the strength needed for large exterior doors.

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.
