Glynn Johnson 453S32D Medium Duty Surface Overhead Stop

Product Description

The GLYNN JOHNSON 453S32D is a medium duty, size 3 surface overhead stop designed to control door swing and protect walls, frames, and hardware from impact damage. The unit mounts to the door header or transom bar area and limits door travel at a set open position. At 25.7 inches in length, it is built for standard commercial door openings where a concealed overhead closer is not required. The satin stainless steel finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for demanding environments. Installation is performed by a licensed door hardware technician or commercial locksmith working within applicable building code requirements.

This overhead stop is suited for commercial and institutional interior door applications including offices, corridors, healthcare facilities, and educational buildings. It is a surface-mounted unit, meaning no routing or mortising into the door or frame is required. The size 3 designation corresponds to a standard door width range typical of commercial openings. This stop functions as a standalone holder and stop, independent of any door closer mechanism.

Follow ANSI and applicable local building code requirements for door hardware fastener placement and load ratings. Verify that the header or transom bar has sufficient substrate thickness to accept the required fasteners before final installation.
