Sargent 268 O EN RH – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What arm options do I have to choose on the Sargent 268 concealed closer, and which one holds the door open?
Seven arm choices on the 268. For hold open, order the H hold open arm, or HB if you also want a bumper built in. If you don't want hold open, the O standard arm and OB (standard with bumper) are the non-hold-open versions. The remaining three are security arms: CSP closer security pack, CSPS with a switch, and CSPD with a double switch. Pick the arm at order time, it isn't field-swappable between these families without buying the other arm.
2) Does the Sargent 268 come with delayed action, and can I get it with the security arm package?
Delayed action is available on the 268 as the DA option, but not together with a security package. The DA option is called out as not available with the security packages, so if you're ordering the CSP, CSPS or CSPD arm you give up delayed close. On a slow-traffic opening with wheelchair or cart traffic, that trade is the decision: DA with a standard or hold open arm, or the security pack without it.
3) Is the Sargent 268 door closer Grade 1?
Grade 1, and rated heavy duty for commercial use. That's the tier institutional specs usually call for on entrances, stairwells and corridor doors in schools, hospitals and government buildings, where a Grade 2 or residential closer won't hold up. Of the concealed closers ZenSupply carries, the Dormakaba ITS9613 and the Norton Rixson 73 Series are the other Grade 1 options if you're building a bid list.
4) I need a concealed closer that will not hold the door open on a fire rated opening. Is the Sargent 268 right, or should I look at something else?
Order the 268 with the O standard arm or OB standard arm with bumper. Both are the non-hold-open configurations, so the door closes and latches every time. Do not order the H or HB hold open arms for that opening. If you want a purpose-built non-hold-open unit instead, the CRL Jackson overhead concealed bodies are catalogued as non hold open, in 90 degree (20-101M-03) and 105 degree (20-101M-01 regular duty, 20-101M-09 heavy duty) versions.
5) Will a Sargent 268 work on a center hung aluminum storefront door, or do I need a different concealed closer?
The 268 is a header-concealed closer ordered handed, and it isn't described as a center hung or double acting unit. For center hung aluminum openings, the Dorma RTS88 Series RTS01 is the one to look at, it's center hung side load and works single or double acting on aluminum door and frame. Norton Rixson also offers center hung concealed closers: the 608 Series and 700 Series for doors up to 200 lbs, and the 73 Series double acting with cover plate for doors up to 250 lbs. For an offset hung aluminum door up to 200 lbs, the Rixson 0608 Series is the offset version.
6) What is the closest Grade 1 heavy duty overhead concealed closer to the Sargent 268 if the 268 handing does not suit the opening?
The Norton Rixson 73 Series is the nearest peer on rating: it is a Grade 1 heavy duty overhead concealed closer like the Sargent 268, and it is a center hung double acting unit with a cover plate rated to 250 lb doors. The Sargent 268 is ordered left hand or right hand, so on a double acting center hung opening where a handed closer will not work, the 73 Series is the direct alternative at the same grade and duty level. The Dormakaba ITS9613 is also a Grade 1 concealed overhead closer if you need a single acting Grade 1 unit from another line.
7) I need an overhead concealed closer that will not hold the door open. Can the Sargent 268 be ordered that way, or should I use a different closer?
The Sargent 268 arm choices include O standard arm and OB standard arm with bumper alongside the H hold open arm and HB hold open arm with bumper, so a non hold open configuration is ordered by specifying the standard arm. If you would rather buy a closer that is only built non hold open, the CRL Jackson 20-101M-01 and 20-101M-17 are non hold open overhead concealed closer bodies at 105 degree, the 20-101M-03 is the 90 degree non hold open version, and the 20-101M-09 is the heavy duty non hold open body at 105 degree. Those CRL Jackson units are body only, where the Sargent 268 is ordered with its arm selection as part of the part number.
8) What is the SRI option on the Sargent 268 closer and when do I need it?
SRI is corrosion protection applied to the closer body only, ordered as included or not included. It's the option to add when the opening sees moisture or a corrosive atmosphere: coastal exteriors, natatoriums, wash-down areas, parking structures. Note the scope, the protection covers the closer body, not the arm or track, so exposed arm hardware still wants a finish suited to the environment.
9) Is the Sargent 268 closer visible when the door is closed?
No. The 268 mounts overhead concealed, with the closer body, arm and track hidden in the header and frame when the door is shut. That's why it gets specified on architectural openings where a surface closer would be an eyesore, and it also puts the mechanism out of reach in buildings with a vandalism problem. The cost is preparation: the header and frame have to be cut and templated for the closer before it goes in, so it's far easier on new frames than as a retrofit onto a frame prepped for a surface closer.
10) What finishes can I get the Sargent 268 concealed closer in, and will it match the other hardware in the building?
Eight finishes on the 268. One plated: 10BE dark oxidized satin bronze. Three sprayed bronze enamels to match different bronze tones, EB to dark satin bronze, ED to dark statuary bronze, EP to satin bronze. Plus EN sprayed aluminum enamel, EAB sprayed brass enamel, and two powder coats, BSP black suede and WSP white suede. For a property manager standardizing across a building, the enamel finishes are the ones picked to match existing bronze door hardware; the suede powder coats are for painted frames where you want the closer to disappear.
11) Is a CRL Jackson 20-101M closer body a drop in replacement for a Sargent 268?
No, treat them as different products rather than a swap. The CRL Jackson 20-101M closers are sold as a closer body only, so the arm and track are not part of that part number, and they are fixed to a swing degree in the part number itself, either 90 degree or 105 degree no hold open. The Sargent 268 is ordered as a handed left hand or right hand unit with the arm selected on the order, including hold open arms, bumper arms, and the CSP closer security pack arms. If a 268 is coming out of an existing header prep, match it with a closer that includes the arm and track components you need rather than a body only part.
12) I want delayed action on an overhead concealed closer. Which of these carries it?
The Sargent 268 carries a delay function, and delayed action is ordered on it as the DA option, which is not available together with the security packages. If you are also specifying a security arm on the same opening, plan on the CSP closer security pack, CSPS with switch, or CSPD with double switch without DA, and use a separate closer for the delayed action opening. Among the other Grade 1 overhead concealed units, the Dormakaba ITS9613 is the ITS96 Series equivalent to consider on a Grade 1 spec.
13) How do I choose between the Sargent 268 and the Dormakaba ITS9613 on a Grade 1 concealed spec?
Both meet a Grade 1 overhead concealed requirement: the Sargent 268 is Grade 1 and heavy duty with concealed mounting, and the Dormakaba ITS9613 is a Grade 1 concealed overhead closer in the ITS96 Series. The deciding factors are configuration rather than rating. The Sargent 268 is handed left hand or right hand and lets you specify the arm, including hold open, bumper, and the CSP security pack arms, plus SRI corrosion protection on the closer body and the DA delayed action option. Specify by which of those arm and option requirements are on the door schedule.
14) Which overhead concealed closer should I standardize on across a facility where some doors need a security switch?
The Sargent 268 is the one in this group that publishes switch bearing arm options: CSP closer security pack, CSPS closer security pack with switch, and CSPD closer security pack with double switch, alongside the standard and hold open arms. That lets one heavy duty Grade 1 concealed closer cover both the monitored and unmonitored doors on the same schedule, with finishes such as BSP black suede powder coat, WSP white suede powder coat, and EN sprayed aluminum enamel to match across the building. Note the DA delayed action option is not available with the security packages, so doors needing delayed action are specified separately.
15) What does the switch option on the Sargent 268 security arm do?
The CSPS and CSPD arms add monitoring to the closer security pack, a single switch on the CSPS and a double switch on the CSPD. That's the configuration an integrator specifies when door position or hold open state has to report back to an access control or alarm panel; the plain CSP arm is the security pack with no switch. Choose CSPD when you need two independent contacts, for example one to the panel and one to a local device.
16) Is the Sargent 268 concealed closer suitable for a high traffic entrance?
Yes. The 268 is a heavy duty Grade 1 commercial closer with a one-piece cast iron body, which is the construction that survives constant cycling on a main entrance or corridor door. It's also specified to keep working in extreme heat and cold without readjustment, which matters on an exterior opening where a lighter closer drifts out of adjustment between seasons.
