Sargent 281-P10 Tb En Surface Door Closer Parallel Arm

Product Description

The SARGENT 281-P10 TB EN is a heavy-duty surface-mounted door closer designed for parallel arm installation. It mounts on the push side of the door, with the arm running parallel to the door face in the closed position, making it well-suited for applications where clearance between the door and frame is limited. The unit features a sprayed aluminum enamel finish and is secured with thru bolts for a rigid, tamper-resistant connection. Licensed contractors and commercial door hardware installers typically specify this closer for high-traffic commercial and institutional openings.

This door closer is intended for commercial interior and exterior door applications requiring heavy-duty performance. The parallel arm configuration is a common choice for doors where the closer body must be mounted on the stop side of the frame or where standard top jamb or regular arm mounting is not practical. It suits metal or solid wood doors in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and other commercial environments requiring controlled door swing and positive latching.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty construction rated for high-cycle commercial applications
• Parallel arm mounting keeps the arm profile low and within the door stop clearance
• Thru-bolt fastening provides a secure, tamper-resistant installation
• Sprayed aluminum enamel finish for a clean, neutral appearance on painted door assemblies
• Surface-mount design allows installation without door prep or mortising

Compatibility

Designed as a heavy-duty OEM-style surface door closer for commercial door assemblies requiring parallel arm mounting with thru-bolt attachment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified door hardware technician or licensed contractor familiar with commercial door hardware standards. Verify door and frame material and thickness before selecting fastener length for thru-bolt installation. Follow the template provided with the closer for accurate hole layout, and confirm that door width and weight fall within the closer's rated capacity before mounting. Adjust closing speed and latch speed valves only after the closer is fully secured to prevent improper door operation.
