Sargent 1431-RUO EN – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Sargent 1431 door closer handed, or will one unit work on both left and right hand doors?
The 1431 Powerglide closer is non-handed. It ships with a universal arm, so the same unit works on either hand of door. That is why a lot of facilities stock it as a single line item for a whole building instead of carrying left and right versions.
2) What mounting positions can a Sargent 1431 closer be installed in?
Four: regular (pull side), top jamb, parallel arm, and track. That covers most openings you will meet, including doors where the closer has to go on the push side because of a vestibule or pull-side obstruction. Pick the mounting before you order the drop plate or bracket you may need for the frame condition.
3) Does the Sargent 1431 closer meet ADA opening force requirements?
Yes, in every mounting except push-side track. If your opening has to be ADA compliant and you were planning a track application on the push side, choose a different mounting arrangement (regular, top jamb, or parallel arm) for the 1431.
4) Can I use the Sargent 1431 Powerglide closer on a labeled fire door?
Yes. The 1431 conforms to UL10C and UBC positive pressure fire test standards, and it is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 at Grade 1. Note that on a labeled opening you cannot use a hold-open arm unless it is an approved fire-rated hold-open, since fire doors must self-close and latch.
5) Is size 1-4 enough closer for a wide or heavy exterior door?
The 1431 adjusts across spring sizes 1 to 4, which covers interior doors and typical commercial exterior doors. For a very wide or heavy exterior leaf, or a door fighting stack pressure, you want a closer that reaches size 6. From what we carry, the BEST EHD9000 Series and the Accentra 2701 Series both adjust through size 6, and the Accentra 51 Series covers 1-6 with a hold open arm.
6) What is a Grade 1 heavy-duty alternative to the Sargent 1431 Powerglide surface closer?
The Sargent 1431 Powerglide is a Grade 1, heavy-duty surface mounted closer. Peers at the same grade and duty level include the BEST HD8000 Series, the BEST EHD9000 Series with adjustable spring sizes 1-6, the Falcon SC71A Series heavy-duty surface-mount closer, and the Norton Rixson 1600BC Series aluminum storefront closer. Each is a Grade 1 heavy-duty surface closer, so the choice comes down to arm style and mounting preference rather than duty rating.
7) Is there a lighter-duty surface closer to use instead of the Sargent 1431 on a low-traffic interior door?
The Sargent 1431 Powerglide is built as a heavy-duty commercial closer. For a lighter opening, light-duty options include the BEST SL6000 Series Grade 1 closer, the Arrow DC314 Grade 1 light-duty closer, the Norton Rixson 160 Series light commercial Grade 1 closer, and the LCN 1250 Series, which is offered in sizes 1-5 with all-weather fluid and is ADA compliant. Medium-duty choices include the BEST HD7000 Series and the Falcon SC81A Series, both Grade 1.
8) I need hold open on the door - what should I order instead of the Sargent 1431 with universal arm?
The Sargent 1431 Powerglide ships with a universal arm and an interchangeable arm specification. If you need a factory hold-open arm, the Accentra 51 Series is a tri-packed hold open arm closer in sizes 1-6, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958HO/PA is a tri-packed hold open arm closer with a parallel bracket, and the Stanley Security A45-501HL is a long hold open arm for top jamb mounting.
9) Can I use a Grade 2 closer like the Cal-Royal 400 in place of the Sargent 1431?
Not where the spec calls for Grade 1. The Sargent 1431 Powerglide is certified Grade 1 to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 and conforms to UL10C positive pressure fire test standards. The Cal-Royal 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic closer. If you want to stay within Cal-Royal at Grade 1, the 500S barrier free closer with adjustable back-check, the 700S dual valve sized closer with adjustable tube arm, and the N900PBF barrier free surface closer are the Grade 1 options.
10) Will a Sargent 1431 closer hold its adjustment on an exterior door through winter and summer?
That is the point of the Powerglide fluid. The 1431 keeps working through extreme heat and cold without needing to be readjusted seasonally, so you are not sending a tech back out every spring and fall to rebalance closing speed on entry doors.
11) Does the Sargent 1431 have delayed action for accessible or high-traffic openings?
Yes, delayed action is available on the 1431, which holds the door near full open for a few seconds before it starts to close. That is what you want on a door used by wheelchair users, carts, or gurneys. Closing speed is separately adjustable across spring sizes 1 through 4, with the valves facing front so you can dial it in without pulling the closer.
12) What is a heavy duty Grade 1 closer like the Sargent 1431 right for, versus a lighter one?
Heavy duty Grade 1 is for openings that cycle constantly and get abused: school corridors, hospital wings, municipal buildings, retail entries. On a low-traffic interior office or closet door you are paying for cycle life you will never use, and a light duty unit such as the BEST SL6000 Series or the Falcon SC91A is the more sensible spec. Grade 1 is the top ANSI/BHMA durability tier.
13) If I need a hold-open arm instead of a closer that always closes, what should I look at?
The 1431 ships with a universal arm rather than a hold-open. If the opening needs to be parked open (loading areas, kitchens, non-labeled corridors), look at the Accentra 51 Series with a tri-packed hold open arm, or the Orca BHDC1958 hold open version with parallel bracket. Do not put a mechanical hold-open on a labeled fire door.
14) What is the difference between the Sargent 1431 and the Corbin Russwin DC8200 or DC6200 closers?
The Sargent 1431 Powerglide is a Grade 1 heavy-duty surface closer with a universal, interchangeable arm and four mounting options including track. The Corbin Russwin DC6200 and DC8200 Series are both Grade 1 surface closers supplied with a double lever regular arm for pull side mounting on 1-3/4 inch doors, and the DC3200 is a Grade 1 regular arm surface closer, also for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Corbin units are specified by a fixed arm and mounting orientation, while the 1431 arm is interchangeable across mounting styles.
15) Does the Sargent 1431 have delayed action, or do I need a different closer for that?
The Sargent 1431 Powerglide carries a delay function and speed adjustable 1-4 with front-facing valves. If you are comparing dedicated delayed action units, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958DA/PA and BHDC2011DA/PA are delayed action closers with a regular arm and parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors.
16) Which surface closers give a wider spring size range than the Sargent 1431 Powerglide?
The Sargent 1431 Powerglide is speed adjustable 1-4. If the opening needs a broader spring power range, the Accentra 2700 Series and Accentra 51 Series cover sizes 1-6, the Arrow DCN325 is adjustable spring size 1-6, the BEST EHD9000 Series covers 1-6, the Norton Rixson 8501A is adjustable size 1-6, the Imperial USA TC4300 Series is a Grade 1 heavy-duty size 1-6 ADA closer, and the LCN 1450 offers spring sizes 1-6.
17) What looks like a substitute for the Sargent 1431 closer but is not?
A few items in the door control aisle are not closers at all. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate for the DCN500, a mounting accessory rather than a closer body. The Stanley Security 327 and 341 are wardrobe pivots, and the Stanley 57-0100 is a box of 100 steel machine screws for architectural hinges. None of those replace the Sargent 1431 Powerglide surface mounted closer.
18) For a school or hospital standardization program, which closers compare to the Sargent 1431 on tri-mount flexibility?
The Sargent 1431 Powerglide uses a non-handed universal arm and supports standard, top jamb, parallel and track mounting, which keeps stock counts low across a facility. Comparable tri-mount Grade 1 units include the Norton Rixson 1601P with tri-mount design and 180 degree swing, the Dexter DCH1000 and DCH4000 Series tri-mount closers for regular, parallel or top jamb mounting, the Dexter DCL2000 and DCM1000 Series, and the Dormakaba 8616 AF86P heavy-duty Grade 1 flat arm closer supplied tri-pack.
19) Is the Falcon SC91A a valid swap for the Sargent 1431 Powerglide?
No. The Sargent 1431 Powerglide is a Grade 1 heavy-duty commercial closer, while the Falcon SC91A Series is a Grade 3 light-duty cast aluminum surface closer. Within Falcon, the SC71A Series is the Grade 1 heavy-duty unit, and the SC61A Series is Grade 1 in a light to medium duty rating.
20) What finish does the Sargent 1431-RUO come in?
Sprayed aluminum enamel (EN). It is a painted aluminum-colored finish that blends with anodized aluminum storefront and most painted hollow metal frames. If you are matching existing closers in a building, EN is the common default on commercial openings.
21) Can the arm on the Sargent 1431 be swapped out later?
Yes, the arm is interchangeable on the 1431, so the body can be reused if the mounting condition changes or an arm gets damaged. For a property manager that means a bent arm on one door is a parts replacement, not a whole new closer.
22) The Sargent 1431 comes in sprayed aluminum enamel - which comparable closers offer a painted or powder coat finish?
The Sargent 1431-RUO is supplied in EN sprayed aluminum enamel. Among peers, the DORMA 7303 Series is offered in a painted finish as a Grade 1 medium-duty surface closer, the Dormakaba 7414 size 1-4 closer is also a painted Grade 1 medium-duty unit, and the LCN 1460T is a Grade 1 heavy-duty closer in a powder coat finish.
23) Which heavy-duty closers besides the Sargent 1431 ship with a non-hold-open tri-packed arm?
The Sargent 1431 Powerglide is a heavy-duty closer with a universal interchangeable arm. Heavy-duty peers supplied with a tri-packed non-hold-open arm include the Design Hardware 116 Series and 416 Series, and the Design Hardware 316 Series in a medium to heavy duty rating with cover. The Accentra 1101BF is also a tri-packed non-hold open arm closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-4.
