Sargent 2469 EB 24V – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sargent 2409 hold-open closer release the door when the fire alarm goes off?

That's the whole point of the 2409 Fire Guard. It holds the door open electromechanically during normal traffic, and when the holding circuit is interrupted (fire alarm, smoke detector, or panel signal), the arm releases and the closer shuts the door under its own spring power. That is what makes it legal to prop a fire door open. A mechanical hold-open arm on a plain closer is not, because it won't let go.

2) What voltage do I need to run to a Sargent 2409 closer?

Two power options, and you pick one when you order: 120VAC or 24VAC/DC. Run 24V off a low-voltage supply tied into the fire alarm relay if you're integrating with a panel, which is the usual commercial approach. Take 120VAC if you're feeding it from a line-voltage circuit that drops on alarm. Get this decided before rough-in, since it changes the wire you pull to the header.

3) Which arm do I order for the Sargent 2409 - 2469, 2479, or 2499?

It depends on which face of the door the closer lands on and what kind of opening it is. The 2469 is a regular arm for pull side mounting, the standard choice when the closer can sit on the door's pull face. The 2499 is a regular arm for push side mounting, for when the pull side is unavailable or the door swings out of the room. The 2479 is the double egress arm, for double egress pairs where the two leaves swing opposite directions. One arm ships per closer, so specify it on the order.

4) Do I have to specify handing on a Sargent 2409 door closer?

Yes, handing is required, right hand or left hand. Unlike a plain closer you can flip on the bench, the 2409's hold-open and release mechanism is built for one hand, so a left hand unit won't serve a right hand door. Stand outside the opening, on the side the door swings away from: hinges on your right is right hand, hinges on your left is left hand.

5) Is the Sargent 2409 closer Grade 1 and ADA compliant for a school or hospital corridor?

Grade 1 under ANSI/BHMA A156.4, heavy duty, rated high traffic, and ADA compliant. That is the specification level institutional work is normally written to, so it answers a drawing calling for a Grade 1 surface closer on a fire-rated corridor door. Standardizing a facility on the 2409 also means one arm and one finish family across the openings.

6) Can I use a Sargent 2409 on a double egress pair of fire doors?

Yes, order the 2479 double egress arm. On a double egress pair each leaf swings the opposite way, and the frame profile won't take a standard regular arm on the pull side. The 2479 is built for that geometry. Order one closer per leaf, each handed to its own door.

7) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Sargent 2409 Fire Guard hold open closer?

The Norton Rixson Smok-Chek V is the nearest peer in function: it is an electrified door closer and holder with fire safety release, the same combination the Sargent 2409 provides as a Grade 1 surface mounted electrified closer with electromechanical single point hold open that drops the door on alarm. Both put closing and hold-open release in one surface mounted device rather than splitting them across two products. The 2409 is ordered by arm (2469 pull side regular, 2479 pull side double egress, 2499 push side regular) and by voltage, 24VAC/DC or 120VAC, so match the Smok-Chek V configuration to the same mounting side and power supply on the opening.

8) Can the Norton Rixson Checkmate 99 be used instead of a Sargent 2409 on a fire rated door?

Not as a one for one swap. The Norton Rixson Checkmate 99 is an electrified door holder with fire safety integration - it holds the door open and releases it on alarm, but it does not control the closing cycle. The Sargent 2409 is an electrified door closer with the hold open built into the closer body, so a single surface mounted unit both holds the leaf and closes it under control. If the opening already has a working closer and only needs alarm-released hold open added, the Checkmate 99 covers that role; if the opening needs the closing function too, the 2409 or a combination closer-holder is the right shape of product.

9) Do I need a separate wall magnet or floor holder if I use the Sargent 2409?

No. The 2409 is a single point hold open closer, so the closing device and the electric hold-open are one surface mounted unit on the door and frame. A separate electromagnetic holder means two devices, two mounting points, and a wall or floor location that has to line up with the door's open position. The tradeoff is that the 2409 holds at one preset point, not wherever you happen to push the door.

10) What else does ZenSupply carry instead of the Sargent 2409 electrified hold-open closer?

Three Norton Rixson alternatives in the same electrified closer-holder space. The 7700 Power Track Series is an electrified closer with hold open. The Smok-Chek V Series is an electrified closer and holder with fire safety release, the closest functional parallel to the 2409's alarm-drop behavior. The Checkmate 99 Series is a door holder with fire safety integration rather than a closer, so it holds and releases but does not close the door on its own; you would still need a closer on that leaf. Pick the Sargent if the spec calls for ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 in writing, since that is the grade stated on the 2409.

11) Can I swap a Sargent 2409 in for a plain surface closer that's already on my fire door?

Physically it is a surface mounted closer on the same header-and-arm arrangement, but treat it as a new install, not a drop-in. You are adding power: the 2409 needs 120VAC or 24VAC/DC run to it and a connection to whatever drops the circuit on alarm. Existing closer holes rarely line up either, since the 2409 mounts to its own template for the arm you chose. Plan for the wiring path first, then the door prep.

12) Will a Sargent 2409 work on a double acting door?

No. The 2409 is a single acting closer, for doors that swing one direction only. A door swinging both ways needs a double acting device, typically a floor closer or a center-hung pivot arrangement, not a surface mounted single acting unit like this one.

13) I need a delayed action closer - is the Sargent 2409 the right choice?

No. The Sargent 2409 does not include a delay function; its electrified feature is single point hold open that releases when triggered, which is a different behavior from delayed action closing. Among the comparable electrified fire and life safety devices, the Norton Rixson Smok-Chek V and the 7700 Power Track Series are the closer-and-hold-open options to evaluate, and the Checkmate 99 is a holder that pairs with a separate closer. If the requirement on the drawing is genuinely delayed action rather than hold open, confirm that with the specifier before selecting any of these.

14) How does the Norton Rixson 7700 Power Track closer compare to the Sargent 2409 for an opening that needs hold open?

Both are electrified closers with a hold open feature, so either can hold a leaf open and release it for life safety. The difference a contractor cares about is the arm geometry: the Norton Rixson 7700 Power Track Series works with a track, while the Sargent 2409 uses a conventional arm chosen at order time - 2469 pull side regular arm, 2479 pull side double egress arm, or 2499 push side regular arm. The double egress arm option is the one to note, because a 2409 can be specified for a double egress frame directly. Confirm which mounting condition the frame and stop allow before choosing between the two.

15) For standardizing hold open hardware across a facility, what should I compare the Sargent 2409 against?

Compare it against the Norton Rixson Smok-Chek V and the 7700 Power Track Series, both of which are electrified closers with hold open, and against the Checkmate 99, which is a holder used alongside a separate closer. The Sargent 2409 carries a Grade 1 heavy duty rating and is ADA compliant, and it is offered in seven finishes - black suede powder coat, white suede powder coat, sprayed aluminum enamel, sprayed brass enamel, and three sprayed bronze enamels matching dark satin bronze, dark statuary bronze, and satin bronze - which is the practical lever when the goal is one look across a building. Standardizing on a single closer plus a single voltage, either 24VAC/DC or 120VAC, keeps spares and panel wiring uniform.

16) What finishes does the Sargent 2409 Fire Guard closer come in?

Seven, and they split into two families. Sprayed enamels: EN aluminum, EAB brass, EP bronze enamel matching satin bronze, EB matching dark satin bronze, ED matching dark statuary bronze. Powder coats: BSP black suede and WSP white suede. The powder coats are the ones to pick when you want the closer to disappear against a painted white header or a dark storefront rather than read as a brass-toned piece of hardware. All ship with a dress cover plate over the body.
