Sargent 281-UO Tb Eb Surface Door Closer Dark Bronze

Product Description

The SARGENT 281-UO TB EB is a surface-mounted door closer designed for commercial and institutional door applications. It mounts on the surface of the door or frame and uses a universal standard arm configuration, giving installers flexibility in mounting orientation without requiring separate components for hinge-side or push-side installations. The unit is secured with thru bolts for a more tamper-resistant and structurally sound attachment compared to standard wood-screw mounting. The finish is a sprayed dark bronze enamel, suited to match common commercial hardware finishes in office, institutional, and light industrial environments.

This closer is appropriate for single-leaf swinging doors in commercial buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and government installations where controlled door swing and positive latching are required. The universal arm design accommodates both regular-arm and top-jamb mounting configurations, reducing the need to stock multiple closer models for different door orientations. It is installed by commercial door hardware technicians and licensed locksmiths.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified door hardware technicians or licensed locksmiths in accordance with applicable building and fire codes. Ensure the door and frame are structurally sound before mounting and that thru-bolt clearances are confirmed prior to drilling. Adjust closing speed and latching speed using the closer's valve screws after installation with the door in service. Consult ANSI A156.4 standards for closer size selection and performance requirements.
