    Sargent 1431 P4 EN – Frequently Asked Questions

    1) What does parallel arm mounting mean on the Sargent 1431P, and when should I use it instead of a regular arm closer?
    Parallel arm means the closer body mounts on the push side of the door with the arm running back parallel to the face of the door, tucked up under the frame soffit. It's the configuration most commercial specs call for on corridor and stairwell doors because the arm is out of the traffic path and harder to abuse than a regular (pull side) arm. If your opening puts the closer on the pull side instead, a regular arm closer like the Corbin Russwin DC3200 is the setup to look at. The 1431P is surface mounted and Grade 1.
    2) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Sargent 1431P?
    Yes. Handing is a required selection, right hand or left hand, so you need to know which way the door swings before you order. Stand outside the opening on the push side: if the hinges are on your right it's right hand, on your left it's left hand.
    3) Which arm should I pick if I need the door to stop before it hits a wall?
    The 1431P offers three stop arms. PS is a heavy duty parallel arm with a positive stop, CPS is a heavy duty parallel arm with a compression stop (the compression version cushions the stop rather than taking the impact rigidly), and PSH and CPSH are the hold open versions of each. If the opening already has a wall stop or an overhead auxiliary stop/holder doing that job, order a plain arm instead and add the P3 (1 inch offset) or P3A (1-3/4 inch offset) bracket to clear it.
    4) My frame has no soffit reveal for a parallel arm. Can the 1431P still be used?
    Yes, that's what the flush frame arms are for. P4 is the parallel flush frame arm, PH4 adds friction hold open, and P4A is the flush frame arm intended for use with an auxiliary holder or stop. Flush frame arms are the correct choice where the frame face is flush with the door and a standard parallel arm has nothing to mount against.
    5) Is the Sargent 1431P ADA compliant for an accessible entrance?
    ADA compliant, yes, in all applications except push side track configurations. Since the 1431P is the parallel arm version rather than a track closer, it meets ADA requirements as configured here. Opening force still has to be verified on the door after the spring is adjusted.
    6) What is the DA option on the 1431P, and do I need it?
    DA is delayed action. It holds the door near the open position for a few seconds before the closing cycle begins, which is what you want on a door used by people with walkers, carts, wheelchairs, or hospital beds. Delay is available as the DA device option; if you don't need it, order the standard configuration.
    7) Can I get the Sargent 1431P with through bolts for a hollow metal or aluminum door?
    Yes. TB is the through bolt option for 1-3/4 inch doors. Through bolting is the usual call on aluminum, hollow metal without adequate reinforcement, or high abuse openings where sex bolts distribute the load rather than relying on sheet metal threads alone.
    8) What is the closest heavy-duty Grade 1 alternative to the Sargent 1431P surface closer?
    The Sargent 1431P is a Grade 1, heavy duty, surface mounted commercial closer. For an equivalent heavy-duty Grade 1 surface closer from another brand, the BEST HD8000 Series and the BEST EHD9000 Series are both catalogued as heavy duty, Grade 1 surface mounted closers, and the Falcon SC71A Series is a heavy-duty Grade 1 surface-mount closer. The Dormakaba 8616 with flat arm is also a Grade 1 heavy duty closer. The difference to weigh is arm strategy: the 1431P is built around parallel arm configurations with interchangeable arms, while the Dormakaba 8616 ships as a flat arm tri-pack.
    9) The Sargent 1431P is parallel arm - what should I use if the closer has to mount on the pull side with a regular arm?
    The Sargent 1431P is configured for parallel arm applications, with arm choices such as the P10 heavy duty parallel arm and the PS parallel arm with positive stop. When the opening calls for pull-side regular arm mounting instead, the Corbin Russwin DC6200 Series and DC8200 Series are Grade 1 surface closers with a double lever regular arm for pull side mounting, and the Corbin Russwin DC3200 is a Grade 1 regular arm surface closer. All three are listed for 1-3/4 inch doors.
    10) I need a delayed action closer - which products besides the Sargent 1431P offer that?
    The Sargent 1431P carries a delay function and can be ordered with the DA delayed action device option. If you are cross-shopping, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958DA/PA is a delayed action closer with a regular arm and parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Orca BHDC2011DA/PA is the same delayed action arrangement in the BHDC2011 Series. The 1431P differs in being a Grade 1 heavy duty closer with interchangeable parallel arms.
    11) Our spec calls for Grade 1 on the closers - which of these would fail that requirement compared to the Sargent 1431P?
    The Sargent 1431P is a Grade 1 commercial closer. Among the common cross-shops, the Cal-Royal 400 Series hydraulic closer is Grade 2 and the Falcon SC91A is Grade 3, so neither meets a Grade 1 line item. Products that do hold Grade 1 include the Cal-Royal 500S barrier free closer, the Cal-Royal 700S dual valve sized closer, the Calibre CA9901 tri-pack, and the Imperial USA TC4300 Series heavy duty size 1-6 ADA closer.
    12) Will a Sargent 1431P hold up on a high traffic school or hospital corridor door?
    That's its intended duty. The 1431P is a heavy duty, Grade 1, commercial-only closer, and it's specified for schools, healthcare facilities, and commercial buildings. It also runs in extreme heat and cold without seasonal readjustment, which matters on exterior and vestibule doors. For lighter interior openings, a light or medium duty closer such as the BEST HD7000 Series (Grade 1, medium duty) is the less expensive class of product.
    13) Is the Sargent 1431P certified to a door closer standard?
    It's certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.19 and carries a Grade 1 rating, which is the certification line most institutional and government specs cite for surface closers.
    14) What are the closest alternatives to the Sargent 1431P from other brands?
    For a heavy duty Grade 1 surface closer, the near equivalents we carry include the BEST HD8000 Series and the extra heavy duty BEST EHD9000 Series, the Falcon SC71A Series, and the Dormakaba 8616 with flat arm. The Norton Rixson 8501A and 1601P are Grade 1 but medium duty, so step down in class. If your spec needs a delayed action closer from a different brand, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958DA/PA is a delayed action model with a parallel bracket.
    15) Can the 1431P be used for top jamb or track mounting, not just parallel arm?
    The 1431 Series supports standard, top jamb, parallel arm, and track installations. The 1431P as ordered is the parallel arm configuration, and every arm choice offered with it is a parallel arm or a parallel offset bracket. One thing to note if you're considering track: ADA compliance is claimed in all applications except push side track, so parallel arm is the safer route on an accessible opening.
    16) I need a hold-open closer - does the Sargent 1431P do that, and what else does?
    Yes. The Sargent 1431P can be ordered with hold-open parallel arms including the CPSH parallel hold open with compression stop, the PSH with positive stop, and friction hold open arms PH9, PH10 and PH4. Alternatives built as hold-open closers include the Accentra 51 Series with a tri-packed hold open arm in sizes 1-6, the Orca BHDC1958HO/PA tri-packed hold open closer for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Stanley A45-501HL long hold open arm for standard top jamb mounting.
    17) I only need a closer for a low-traffic interior office door - is there something lighter than the Sargent 1431P?
    The Sargent 1431P is a heavy duty closer aimed at high-traffic commercial openings. For lighter service, the BEST SL6000 Series is a Grade 1 light duty surface closer, the Norton Rixson 160 Series is a Grade 1 light duty surface closer for light commercial use, and the Arrow DC314 in the DC300 Series is a Grade 1 light duty surface closer. The Falcon SC91A is light duty at Grade 3. Stepping down means giving up the heavy-duty spring and body that the 1431P brings to abusive traffic.
    18) What is a good alternative to the Sargent 1431P if I want a concealed slide track instead of an exposed parallel arm?
    The Sargent 1431P uses exposed parallel arms, including flush frame types like the P4 and hold-open types like the PH10. Where the specification calls for a track arm, the Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a slide track arm standard for pull side mounting on 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty jamb track closer for frame face pull side mounting with adjustable size 1-6. Note that the 1431P is ADA compliant in all applications except push-side track configurations.
    19) Is the Arrow DCN500DP drop plate a substitute for a Sargent 1431P parallel arm?
    No. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate for the DCN500, a mounting accessory rather than a closer or an arm. The Sargent 1431P parallel arms are Sargent components such as the 25-P9 standard parallel arm and the 25-P4 flush frame parallel arm, which are made for the 351, 281 and 1431 Series bodies. Likewise, the Stanley 327 and 341 wardrobe pivots are pivot hardware, not closers, despite carrying a heavy duty rating.
    20) What is the difference between the Sargent 1431P and a tri-pack closer like the Norton 8501A or Dexter DCH1000?
    The Sargent 1431P is ordered around a chosen parallel arm - for example CPS with compression stop or PSH parallel hold open with positive stop - and the arms are interchangeable. Tri-pack closers ship with the hardware to mount regular, top jamb or parallel from one box: the Norton Rixson 8501A is a Grade 1 medium duty tri-mount closer with adjustable size 1-6 spring, and the Dexter DCH1000 Series is a Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer with full cover. The Accentra 2701 and the Design Hardware 416 Series are also supplied as tri-packed non-hold-open arm closers, the 416 at heavy duty.
    21) Is there a medium-duty closer I can standardize on for interior doors while using the Sargent 1431P on entrances?
    That is a common two-tier approach. The Sargent 1431P is the heavy duty Grade 1 unit for the abused openings. For the interior tier, Grade 1 medium duty options include the BEST HD7000 Series with adjustable spring power and backcheck, the Falcon SC81A cast aluminum closer, the Norton Rixson 1601P tri-mount closer with 180 degree swing, and the Dormakaba 7414 in sizes 1-4. Keeping both tiers on parallel arm mounting where the door swings into a wall keeps the arm exposure consistent across the building.
    22) For an aluminum storefront door, is the Sargent 1431P the right closer or is there something better suited?
    The Sargent 1431P is a heavy duty Grade 1 surface closer with parallel arm options including flush frame arms P4 and P4A, which suit narrow frame conditions. If you want a closer marketed specifically for that application, the Norton Rixson 1600 Series aluminum storefront closer is a Grade 1 heavy duty unit with tri-style mounting. The LCN 1460T is another Grade 1 heavy duty surface closer in a powder coat finish, and the 1431P is likewise available in powder coat finishes such as BSP black suede and WSP white suede.
    23) What is the difference between the Sargent 1431P and the LCN 1450 or LCN 1261?
    The Sargent 1431P is a Grade 1 heavy duty surface closer configured for parallel arm mounting with interchangeable arms and a delayed action option. The LCN 1450 is a medium duty surface closer in cast aluminum with spring sizes 1-6, and the LCN 1261 is light to medium duty with cast iron construction and adjustable spring sizes 1-5. The LCN 1250 is light duty with all-weather fluid in sizes 1-5, comparable to the 1431P claim of operating in extreme heat and cold without readjustment.
    24) What finishes does the Sargent 1431P come in, and can I match existing painted closers in my building?
    Eight finishes: 10BE dark oxidized satin bronze, BSP black suede powder coat, WSP white suede powder coat, EN sprayed aluminum enamel, EAB sprayed brass enamel, EB sprayed bronze enamel to match dark satin bronze, ED sprayed bronze enamel to match dark statuary bronze, and EP sprayed bronze enamel to match satin bronze. The sprayed enamels exist specifically to match existing bronze and brass hardware finishes, and the suede powder coats are the durable choice where painted closers are the building standard.
    25) Are the adjustment valves accessible after the 1431P is installed on the door?
    Yes. The valves face forward, so closing speed, latch and backcheck adjustments can be reached in the field without pulling the closer off the door. That's a real time saver for maintenance staff tuning a run of doors.
