Sargent 1431-UO Da En Surface Door Closer Delayed Action

Product Description

The SARGENT 1431-UO DA EN is a surface-mounted door closer designed for commercial and light industrial door applications. It features a universal standard arm configuration and a delayed action function, which holds the door open briefly before the closing cycle begins. This is useful in high-traffic corridors, accessible entrances, and doorways that require extra time for passage. The unit ships with a sprayed aluminum enamel finish, offering a clean, durable appearance suited to painted or aluminum-frame door installations. Licensed door hardware technicians and commercial locksmiths are the typical trades for installation and adjustment.

This door closer is intended for surface-mounted installation on standard commercial door frames. The universal arm configuration allows flexibility in mounting orientation, making it adaptable to a range of door swing scenarios without requiring separate arm kits for most standard applications. The delayed action feature is commonly specified on accessible routes to meet door timing requirements under accessibility guidelines. It is appropriate for use on interior and light-duty exterior doors in commercial buildings, schools, and institutional facilities.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed door hardware technician or commercial locksmith. Refer to the manufacturer template sheet for accurate hole layout before drilling, as incorrect placement can compromise closer performance. Adjust closing speed, latching speed, and delayed action valves with the door in operation using a flat-blade screwdriver, and never open valve adjustments more than two full turns from the factory setting without consulting the product manual. Verify that the installed closer meets applicable accessibility timing requirements under ADA guidelines and local building codes before completing the work.
