Sargent 281-CPS Tb Ed Heavy Duty Surface Door Closer

Product Description

The SARGENT 281-CPS TB ED is a heavy-duty surface-mounted door closer designed for commercial and institutional door applications. It features a parallel arm mounting configuration with an integrated compression stop, which controls the door at the fully open position and reduces stress on the door frame and hardware. Installation uses thru bolts for a secure, tamper-resistant mount. The closer ships with a sprayed black enamel finish, making it suitable for doors where a clean, dark finish is specified. This type of hardware is typically installed by a licensed door hardware technician or commercial locksmith.

This door closer is suited for commercial entryways, institutional facilities, schools, healthcare buildings, and other high-traffic applications where a durable, code-compliant door control solution is required. The parallel arm configuration is commonly specified when mounting space or door swing clearance does not allow for standard or top jamb mounting. The compression stop feature prevents the door from swinging past the specified open position, protecting adjacent walls and hardware.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty surface-mount design built for high-cycle commercial door applications
• Parallel arm mounting configuration for installations where standard arm mounting is not feasible
• Integrated compression stop limits door travel and protects door frames and adjacent surfaces
• Thru bolt installation provides a secure, tamper-resistant mount
• Sprayed black enamel finish for consistent appearance on dark-finished door assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style surface door closer for commercial and institutional door assemblies requiring a parallel arm mount with compression stop functionality.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified door hardware technician or commercial locksmith familiar with ANSI and ADA door closure requirements. Ensure the door and frame are plumb and square before mounting. Thru bolt installation requires access to both faces of the door or frame at the mounting locations. Adjust closing speed, latching speed, and backcheck valves per the manufacturer's instructions after installation to meet applicable accessibility codes.
