Sargent 281-UO Da Tb En Surface Door Closer Delayed Action

Product Description

The SARGENT 281-UO DA TB EN is a surface-mounted door closer designed for commercial and institutional door applications. It features a universal standard arm configuration, allowing installation on both push-side and pull-side of the door without requiring separate hardware kits. The delayed action function holds the door open briefly before initiating the closing cycle, which aids accessibility and high-traffic flow. The unit is finished in sprayed aluminum enamel for a clean, professional appearance. Installation is accomplished with through bolts for a secure mechanical connection to the door and frame. Licensed door hardware professionals and commercial locksmiths are the typical installers for this product type.

This door closer is suited for commercial, institutional, and light industrial entry doors where controlled closing speed and delayed action are required. Typical applications include office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and public corridors. The universal arm design reduces the need for multiple hardware configurations across a job site. The sprayed aluminum enamel finish blends with standard commercial door and frame finishes commonly specified in commercial construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed door hardware professional or commercial locksmith familiar with ANSI door closer standards and ADA closing-force requirements. Before installation, verify that the door and frame are structurally sound and capable of supporting through bolt fasteners. Adjust closing speed and delayed action valves only with the door in the closed position to avoid personal injury. Consult local building codes and the applicable accessibility standard for required closing force and sweep speed settings.
