Sargent 597H 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between the Sargent 590 H and S models?

Two functions are offered on the 590: Hold and Stop, or Stop Only. The holder version (H) stops the door at the set angle and will hold it open there, controlled by a simple on-off knob so a user can switch holding on or off. The stop-only version (S) limits how far the door swings and nothing more, which is what you want on a fire door or anywhere the door must be free to close. Pick S if the opening has a closer that has to control the door every cycle.

2) How far does the Sargent 590 door stop let the door open?

The 590 is adjustable between 85 and 110 degrees, set at install. That range is what decides whether it protects the wall behind the door or the lever from hitting an adjacent surface. If you need the leaf held wider than 110 degrees, this is the wrong device for the opening.

3) Is the Sargent 590 overhead stop rated Grade 1 for a high traffic entrance?

Grade 1, heavy duty, and built for commercial use. The body is extruded bronze, which is what carries the abuse on a high traffic opening and resists corrosion on an exterior door. It works on single acting doors, interior or exterior.

4) What do I have to specify when ordering a Sargent 590 overhead stop?

Three choices settle the order: door width range (24 to 32-1/2 inches, 32-5/8 to 39-1/8 inches, or 39-1/4 and over), function (Hold and Stop, or Stop Only), and finish from the nine offered. Measure the door leaf first, since the width range is the one you cannot adjust out of after install.

5) Is there a lighter duty overhead stop and holder for an interior door that does not need the Sargent 590 heavy duty build?

For interior openings with lighter traffic, the Glynn-Johnson 450 Series is a light to medium duty surface overhead door holder and stop, and the DORMA 701F is a standard duty surface applied friction stop for a 21 inch to 27 inch door opening. Both mount overhead on the surface like the Sargent 590 but are built for a lower duty level than the 590's heavy duty Grade 1 rating. The 701F is a friction stop, so match it to an opening where friction hold is acceptable rather than the 590's on-off holder knob.

6) What should be used instead of the Sargent 590 when the overhead device has to be hidden in the door and frame?

The 590 is a surface mount device, so it stays visible on the door and frame. When the opening calls for a concealed device, the ABH 4000 Series is a concealed mount overhead stop and holder with medium duty construction, and the ABH 4000RA Series is a concealed mount medium duty overhead door holder and stop with adjustable opening control. Both are concealed rather than surface applied, which changes the door and frame prep entirely, so they are a design decision made before the door is machined, not a drop-in swap for a 590 already installed.

7) Surface mount or concealed overhead stop, which should I use?

A surface overhead stop like the Sargent 590 mounts on the face of the door and the underside of the frame head, so it needs no morticing and goes onto an existing opening without machining. That makes it the retrofit choice. Concealed units, such as the ABH 4000 Series or the ABH 4000RA with adjustable opening control, hide inside the door and frame and take prep work, so they suit new doors or a job where the exposed arm is unacceptable for appearance or vandal reasons. Note the ABH 4000 line is medium duty, while the 590 is heavy duty.

8) Does the Sargent 590 meet ADA requirements for a commercial building?

The 590 stop/holder is ADA compliant, and it is a commercial device throughout. For an institutional standardization package it also carries Grade 1 heavy duty rating, so the same unit can be specified across offices, schools, healthcare and government openings rather than mixing duty levels door to door.

9) Do I still need a door closer if I install a Sargent 590 stop and holder?

Yes, they do different jobs. The 590 limits the swing at 85 to 110 degrees and, in the Hold and Stop version, holds the leaf open at that point. It does not close the door or control closing speed. On an opening that must self close, a closer does that work and the 590 protects the wall and the hardware at the end of the swing. If the door must always be free to close, order the Stop Only function so nobody can knob it into hold open.

10) I need a stop for a narrow 27 inch door, will the Sargent 590 work?

It will. A 27 inch leaf falls in the 24 to 32-1/2 inch range, the smallest of the three the 590 is built for. If the opening is light duty and a simple friction stop is all it needs, the Dormakaba DORMA 701F standard duty surface friction stop covers 21 to 27 inch door openings and is a lighter alternative; the 590 is the heavy duty answer for the same width.

11) Which overhead stops besides the Sargent 590 offer an adjustable stop angle rather than a fixed one?

The Sargent 590 adjusts its hold open or stop position from 85 to 110 degrees. Among the alternatives, the Norton Rixson 9ADJ Checkmate is an adjustable surface mount stop and holder with a 110 degree opening, the ABH 3300A Series is a surface mount overhead stop and holder with adjustable opening control, and the ABH 4000RA Series carries adjustable opening control in a concealed mount body. If the stop angle is set by the wall or an adjacent door rather than by preference, one of these adjustable devices is the group to work from.

12) Does the Norton Rixson 10 Series Checkmate substitute for a Sargent 590 stop only unit?

They are not the same mechanism. The Norton Rixson 10 Series Checkmate is a heavy duty Grade 1 surface door stop and holder that uses a slide track arm, while the Sargent 590 is ordered as either a Hold and Stop or a Stop Only device. The duty level and grade line up, but a stop only opening served by the 590's S model is a different order than a track arm holder, so confirm which function the opening actually needs before substituting.

13) For an industrial door that takes abuse, is the Norton Rixson 7 Series a better match than the Sargent 590?

The Norton Rixson 7 Series Checkmate is an industrial duty surface door stop and holder with a hold open function, rated heavy duty and Grade 1. The Sargent 590 is also heavy duty and Grade 1 in a surface mount body, with hold open available on the H model and rugged extruded bronze construction. Both suit a demanding opening; the 7 Series is described for industrial duty service, while the 590 offers the bronze body in finishes including 10BE dark oxidized satin bronze, 26D satin chromium plated over nickel, and BSP black suede powder coat where appearance matters on the opening.

14) Can a surface applied friction stop replace an overhead stop and holder on a commercial opening?

Not on equal terms. The DORMA 701F is a standard duty surface applied friction stop for a 21 inch to 27 inch door opening, holding by friction rather than by a positive holder mechanism. The Sargent 590 is a heavy duty Grade 1 device offered as Hold and Stop or Stop Only with an on-off holder knob on the H model and a set position between 85 and 110 degrees. On a commercial opening that needs a defined hold open point and heavy duty service, the friction stop is a different kind of device, not a lighter version of the same one.

15) What finishes does the Sargent 590 overhead door stop come in?

Nine finishes are offered on the 590: 10BE dark oxidized satin bronze, 26D satin chromium plated over nickel, 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. If you are matching existing Sargent hardware on other doors in the building, the sprayed enamels exist specifically to pick up those bronze tones; for aluminum storefront, EN or 26D are the ones that read closest.
