Sargent 278 OE EN RH – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What door sizes and weights does the Sargent 278 series handle?
The 278 series typically handles doors up to 36 inches wide and weights up to 150 pounds. Verify specific model requirements against your door dimensions and weight before installation.
2) How does the overhead concealed design benefit door operation?
The concealed mechanism provides clean aesthetics while protecting internal components from damage and weather. Installation requires precise mortising into the door and frame for proper function.
3) What door handing considerations apply to the 278 series?
Door handing must be specified during ordering as the closer mechanism is hand-specific. Determine left-hand or right-hand swing from the pull side of the door.
4) What finishes are available for the Sargent 278 series?
Common finishes include aluminum, dark bronze, and painted options. Verify specific finish availability for your model number when ordering.
5) What power grade does the 278 series provide?
The 278 series typically provides Grade 1 performance for heavy-duty commercial applications. Check specific model documentation for exact power ratings and cycle testing.
6) Does the 278 series meet ADA compliance requirements?
When properly adjusted, the 278 series can meet ADA opening force requirements. Verify local code requirements and adjust closing speed accordingly during installation.
7) What accessories are available for the 278 series?
Common accessories include hold-open arms, delayed action mechanisms, and specialized mounting brackets. Check with manufacturer specifications for compatible options.
8) What are the key installation requirements?
Installation requires precise mortising of door and frame. Use manufacturer templates for exact dimensions. Ensure adequate door thickness and frame strength for proper mounting.
9) How do you adjust the closing speed on the 278 series?
Speed adjustment typically uses valve screws accessible through the closer body. Make gradual quarter-turn adjustments and test operation. Avoid over-adjustment which can damage internal components.
10) What door types work best with overhead concealed closers?
Solid wood or metal doors with sufficient thickness for mortising work best. Hollow doors or glass doors may require reinforcement or alternative closer types.
11) How does the 278 series compare to surface-mounted closers?
Concealed closers provide superior aesthetics and weather protection but require more complex installation. Surface closers offer easier installation and adjustment access.
12) What field conditions affect concealed closer performance?
Temperature extremes can affect hydraulic fluid viscosity and closing speed. Installation precision is critical as field adjustments are limited compared to surface-mounted units.
