Glynn-Johnson 702H-US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size Glynn-Johnson 70 Series overhead stop do I need for a 36 inch door?
Size by the width of the door leaf. On doors hung on butt hinges or offset pivots, the 70 Series comes in five bands: 23-1/16 to 27 inches, 27-1/16 to 33, 33-1/16 to 39, 39-1/16 to 45, and 45-1/16 to 54 inches. A 36 inch leaf lands in the 33-1/16 to 39 inch unit. Measure the actual leaf, not the nominal opening size, since a 3-0 opening frequently carries a leaf slightly under or over 36 inches once the frame is accounted for.
2) What is the difference between the 70H and the 70S Glynn-Johnson overhead unit?
Function is the split. The 70H holds the door open at the angle you set it to and keeps it there until someone pulls it shut. The 70S is stop only, so it limits how far the door can swing and then releases immediately. Order the hold-open where people need the door parked open, such as a loading corridor, a move-in door, or a room being aired out. Order stop only where the opening has to self close every time and nothing should be able to catch it open. Both are the heavy duty build.
3) Should I use a surface mounted overhead stop like the Glynn-Johnson 70 Series or a concealed one?
Surface mount is the retrofit answer. The 70 Series uses door and jamb brackets applied to the face of the door and frame, so it goes on with minimal door and frame preparation and does not require an opening that was machined for a stop when it was built. A concealed unit sits in a pocket cut into the top edge of the door and the frame soffit, which is tidier to look at but means routing the door. If the spec calls for concealed, ZenSupply stocks the ABH 1000 Series, the Sargent 690, and the Norton Rixson 1 Series Checkmate on the heavy duty side. If you want surface mount from another brand, the Norton Rixson 10 Series Checkmate is a surface applied stop and holder.
4) My doors are 2-1/2 inches thick. Can the 70 Series door bracket still be through bolted?
Yes. Specify the SNB-2 option, which is the sex bolt set for doors from 2 to 3 inches thick. For anything up to 2 inches, SNB-1 is the correct set. Sex bolts clamp the door bracket through the leaf from both faces instead of relying on screws biting into one face, which is the way to go on a door that has already had hardware in it or on any opening taking real abuse. If you do not add either option, the bracket goes on with the standard fasteners.
5) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to a Glynn-Johnson 70 Series surface overhead holder?
The Glynn-Johnson 70 Series is a heavy duty surface-mounted overhead holder and stop with an 85 to 110 degree hold-open and stop range, ordered as a hold-open or a stop-only unit, with door and jamb brackets that mount to the face of the door and frame. The nearest surface-mounted peers are the Norton Rixson 10 Series Checkmate units: the 10-236 surface door stop and holder with adjustable hold-open feature and the 10-346 Checkmate surface stop and holder, both carried at medium duty. The DORMA 900 Series is a heavy duty stops and holders line. When the match has to hold on both mounting style and duty level at once, the 70 Series is surface-applied and heavy duty; the Rixson 10 Series units are surface-applied at medium duty.
6) Can I add a 70 Series overhead stop to doors that are already hung, without pulling them out of the frame?
That is what this unit is built for. Both brackets are surface applied to the door and the frame, so installation needs only minimal preparation rather than machining a pocket into the door. Templates cover nearly every door type, including doors on conventional butt hinges and doors on specialty hinges, and they allow a number of mounting positions so you can work around a closer arm or a transom condition that is already there. Practically, this is the overhead stop you put on an existing building rather than one you specify at construction.
7) What do I have to specify when ordering a Glynn-Johnson 70 Series overhead stop?
Four decisions and no handing. Pick the function, hold-open or stop only. Pick the size band off the door leaf width, using the butt hinge and offset pivot column or the center hung column depending on how the door swings. Pick the finish. Then decide the device option: None for the standard bracket set, J for an angle jamb bracket, SNB-1 for sex bolts on doors up to 2 inches, SNB-2 for sex bolts on doors 2 to 3 inches, or SOC for pin in socket security screws.
8) Do I have to order a left hand or right hand overhead stop for the Glynn-Johnson 70 Series?
No handing to call out. The 70 Series is non-handed, so one unit serves either swing. For anyone stocking spares across a building or a portfolio, that cuts the shelf in half: you carry one part per size, function and finish rather than a left and a right of each.
9) Will a 70 Series overhead stop work on a door that already has a door closer on it?
Yes. The 70 Series is built to run alongside door closers, and the two do different jobs: the closer controls the door coming back, the overhead stop puts a hard limit on how far it opens, anywhere from 85 to 110 degrees. Pairing them keeps the closer arm from taking the shock of a door thrown wide open, which is where closer arms and hinge screws usually die on a high traffic opening. Templates allow several mounting positions, so there is room to place the unit clear of the closer arm already on the door.
10) Will this stop keep an exterior door from being blown open into the wall?
That is the job of the stop-only 70S, which limits the swing at whatever angle you set between 85 and 110 degrees so the leaf never reaches the wall or the adjacent hardware. On an exterior opening the material choice matters as much as the function. The 70 Series is made in heavy gauge brass, 300 Series stainless steel, and steel, with the brass and stainless offering the highest corrosion resistance across weather exposure. For a coastal or wet opening, go stainless or brass rather than steel.
11) This is a light-use interior office door. Is there a lighter overhead stop than a heavy duty Glynn-Johnson 70 Series?
Yes. The Glynn-Johnson 70 Series is heavy duty, built for high-traffic industrial and commercial openings. For an opening that does not see that cycle count, the lower-duty peers are the Don-Jo 3023 concealed overhead stop for 30 inch doors and the Don-Jo 3024 for 36 inch doors, both standard duty; the DORMA 711F standard duty concealed friction stop for a 21 to 27 inch opening; and the Norton Rixson 10-336 standard duty overhead stop with adjustable opening control. A step between the two is the Sargent 1530 concealed mount stop and holder at medium duty, or the Norton Rixson 10-236 and 10-346 Checkmate surface units, also medium duty. Note that the standard duty Don-Jo and DORMA units listed here are stops, so if the office door also has to stand open, stay with a holder such as the 70 Series hold-open, the Sargent 1530, or the Rixson 10-236.
12) I want the door stopped before it hits the wall but I do not want it staying open. What are the stop-only choices?
The Glynn-Johnson 70 Series is ordered in a stop-only function as well as hold-open, so the same surface-mounted heavy duty unit and the same bracket set covers a stop-only opening. Stop-function peers include the ABH 1000 Series heavy duty concealed mount overhead door stop, the Don-Jo 3023 and 3024 concealed overhead door stops in satin stainless steel, the DORMA 711F standard duty concealed friction stop, and the Norton Rixson 10-336 standard duty overhead stop with adjustable opening control. The 70 Series stop-only is the surface-mounted, heavy duty member of that group; the rest of the list is concealed mount, and the 711F is specified as a friction stop.
13) Is a Don-Jo 3024 a drop-in replacement for a Glynn-Johnson 70 Series holder on a 36 inch door?
They are not interchangeable, even though both suit a 36 inch leaf. The Don-Jo 3024 is a concealed overhead door stop for 36 inch doors, finished in satin stainless steel and carried at standard duty, and it is a stop. The Glynn-Johnson 70 Series covers a 36 inch leaf with its 33 1/16 to 39 inch butt and offset pivot band, is heavy duty, is ordered in either hold-open or stop-only function, and mounts with surface-applied door and jamb brackets rather than concealed in the top of the door. Swapping one for the other changes both the door preparation and whether the opening gets a hold-open.
14) What is the difference between a Glynn-Johnson 70 Series hold-open and an overhead unit with adjustable opening control?
The Glynn-Johnson 70 Series sets its hold-open and stop angle anywhere in an 85 to 110 degree range, so the opening angle is dialed in on the unit at install. Peers described with an opening control feature are the ABH 1000A Series with field-adjustable opening control and the ABH 1000RA and 1000SA Series with adjustable opening control, plus the Norton Rixson 10-336 standard duty overhead stop with adjustable opening control and the 10-236 Checkmate with adjustable hold-open. Two peers state a fixed figure instead: the Norton Rixson 1 Series Checkmate at 110 degree opening and the Sargent 1530 concealed mount stop and holder at 110 degree opening. If the job needs the door caught short of 110 degrees, the 70 Series range and the adjustable-control units both address it; a unit specified at 110 degrees is stating a single opening figure.
15) Which overhead stops and holders are carried at heavy duty for a high-traffic entrance?
Four in this class carry a heavy duty rating. The Glynn-Johnson 70 Series is heavy duty and surface mounted, built in heavy gauge brass, 300 Series stainless steel, and steel. The Sargent 690 is a heavy duty overhead concealed door stop and holder, the Norton Rixson 1 Series Checkmate is heavy duty and concealed with a 110 degree opening, and the DORMA 900 Series is a heavy duty stops and holders line. The remaining units sit lower on duty: the Sargent 1530 and the Norton Rixson 10-236 and 10-346 are medium duty, and the Don-Jo 3023, Don-Jo 3024, DORMA 711F, and Norton Rixson 10-336 are standard duty. For a main entrance that cycles all day, the heavy duty four are the shortlist, and the 70 Series is the surface-mounted one among them.
16) The overhead holder has to match oil rubbed bronze hardware already on the doors. Which one comes in that finish?
The Glynn-Johnson 70 Series is the one to reach for on a finish match. It comes in US10B oil rubbed bronze, along with US3 polished brass, US4 satin brass, US10 satin bronze, US26 polished chrome, and US26D satin chrome, plus powder coats in SP4 brass, SP10 bronze, SP28 aluminum, SP313 dark bronze, and SPBLK black. Material follows the finish, with heavy gauge brass, 300 Series stainless steel, and steel bodies. By comparison, the Don-Jo 3023 and 3024 concealed overhead stops are specified in satin stainless steel. If the rest of the opening is oil rubbed bronze, the 70 Series US10B carries that finish through the overhead unit.
17) Corridor doors in a school keep getting the overhead stop pulled off. What holds up better?
There are two ways to answer an abuse problem on an overhead unit. The Glynn-Johnson 70 Series is heavy duty and can be ordered with the fastening that resists removal: SOC pin-in-socket security screws, or SNB-1 sex bolts for the door bracket on doors up to 2 inches and SNB-2 for doors from 2 to 3 inches, which pull the bracket through the door rather than into the face alone. The J angle jamb bracket is available where the jamb condition needs it. The other approach is to take the arm off the face entirely with a concealed heavy duty unit, either the Norton Rixson 1 Series Checkmate concealed stop and holder or the Sargent 690 overhead concealed stop and holder. Both are heavy duty and mount concealed instead of surface applied.
18) Glynn-Johnson 70 Series or Sargent 690 for a heavy duty stop and holder?
Both are heavy duty stop and holder units, and the deciding factor is the door preparation. The Sargent 690 is an overhead concealed door stop and holder, so the arm and track live in the top of the door. The Glynn-Johnson 70 Series mounts on the surface with door and jamb brackets and needs only minimal door and frame preparation, which is what makes it workable on doors already hung and on frames that were never prepped for a concealed unit. The 70 Series is also non-handed, so the same unit works on either hand of an opening, it adjusts across an 85 to 110 degree hold-open and stop range, and it is ordered as hold-open or stop-only. On a retrofit the 70 Series avoids mortising the door top; on new work where the prep is being done anyway, the concealed 690 keeps the hardware out of sight.
19) What finishes do Glynn-Johnson 70 Series overhead holders come in, and will one match the rest of my door hardware?
Eleven finishes, split between plated and powder coat. Plated: US3 polished brass, US4 satin brass, US10 satin bronze, US10B oil rubbed bronze, US26 polished chrome, US26D satin chrome. Powder coat: SP4 brass, SP10 bronze, SP313 dark bronze, SP28 aluminum, SPBLK black. US26D satin chrome is the usual commercial default and is what most levers, closers and hinges in an office or school building are already finished in, so it is the safe match when you are adding stops to an existing standard. Dark bronze and black come in powder coat only.
20) Is there a tamper resistant fastener option for overhead door stops in a school or detention area?
Specify the SOC option on the 70 Series and the unit ships with pin in socket security screws, which need a pinned driver rather than a standard hex key to back out. Worth pairing with the SNB-1 or SNB-2 sex bolts if the doors are up to 2 inches or 2 to 3 inches thick respectively, since through bolting the door bracket removes the other easy way to pull the hardware off the door.
