Sargent 697H 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need to order the Sargent 690 as a hold-open or is stop-only a separate part?
They are separate orders. The 690 is built either as Hold & Stop, with an on-off knob that lets the user switch the hold-open in or out without tools, or as Stop Only, which just limits how far the door swings. Decide by opening: a door you want propped for deliveries or ventilation takes the hold version; a door on a closer that must always self-close takes stop only.
2) What does concealed mount mean for prep on the Sargent 690, and can I put one on an existing door?
Concealed here means the arm and bracket are mortised into the door jamb rather than screwed to the face, so the hardware is hidden and out of reach of tampering. That also means it is not a surface retrofit: the door and frame both have to be routed to the manufacturer template before it goes in. On an existing opening with no prep, cutting that mortise in the field is the job. If you cannot rout the frame, a surface overhead stop such as the Glynn-Johnson 70 Series or 79 Series is the type to look at instead.
3) How far does the Sargent 690 let the door open?
Between 85 and 110 degrees, adjustable, for both the stop point and the hold-open point. That range is what protects the wall and whatever is behind the door, so measure your swing clearance first: if you need the leaf to open past 110 degrees, this is the wrong device for that opening.
4) Is the Sargent 690 overhead stop Grade 1?
Grade 1 under ANSI A156.8, which is the top grade for overhead stops and holders and the one specs on schools, hospitals and government work usually call for. It is classified heavy duty and commercial, and the body is extruded bronze. If you are standardizing a facility on Grade 1 door control, this qualifies.
5) What is the closest equivalent to a Sargent 690 concealed stop from another brand?
The Norton Rixson 1 Series Checkmate is the nearest match: heavy duty, Grade 1, concealed, with a 110 degree opening, the same top end as the 690 range. The Glynn-Johnson 100 Series is the other heavy duty concealed line, and ABH's 1000 Series family covers concealed heavy duty as well, including the 1000A, 1000RA and 1000SA with adjustable opening control. All are concealed, so they all need frame and door prep the same way the 690 does.
6) What do I have to specify when ordering a Sargent 690 concealed stop?
Three things settle the part number: door width band (24 to 32-1/2 inches, 32-5/8 to 39-1/8 inches, or 39-1/4 and over), function (Hold & Stop or Stop Only), and finish from the nine available. Measure the actual leaf width before you order, since the width band drives the arm length and is the one choice you cannot correct with an adjustment screw on site.
7) Can the Norton Rixson 10 Series replace a Sargent 690?
Not as a direct swap. The Sargent 690 mounts overhead concealed, with the arm and bracket mortised into the door jamb. The Norton Rixson 10 Series Checkmate is a surface mounted stop and holder, and the 10-336 is a standard duty overhead stop with adjustable opening control while the 10-236 and 10-346 are catalogued at medium duty. Swapping a concealed Sargent 690 for a 10 Series means the mortise prep is abandoned and a surface track and arm are exposed on the door face, and the duty level changes. For a concealed replacement in the same heavy duty class, look at the Norton Rixson 1 Series Checkmate or the Glynn-Johnson 100 Series.
8) What is a good alternative to the Sargent 690 on a fire rated opening?
The ABH 1000 Series is a heavy duty concealed mount overhead door stop with a fire rating, and it is the concealed heavy duty unit to specify when the opening is fire rated. The Sargent 690 is a heavy duty Grade 1 concealed overhead stop and holder and is offered in both a hold and stop function and a stop only function, so on a fire rated opening confirm the function permitted for that door before selecting either brand.
9) Is the Sargent 690 stop/holder ADA compliant?
Yes, the 690 is ADA compliant, and the hold-open version is the reason it matters on an accessible opening: the on-off knob works without tools, gripping or twisting a key. On an accessible route that needs a door held open for cart or wheelchair traffic, the hold version does that while the stop function still protects the wall.
10) What finishes does the Sargent 690 come in, and can I match my existing aluminum or bronze doors?
Nine finishes: 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, and three sprayed bronze enamels, EB to match dark satin bronze, ED to match dark statuary bronze, and EP to match satin bronze. On dark bronze storefront, EB or ED are the matching enamels; on clear anodized aluminum, EN; on brushed chrome or stainless trim elsewhere in the building, 26D. Since the arm is mortised in, only the exposed arm and shoe show, so the finish call is about matching the frame, not the whole door.
11) What is the difference between a concealed overhead stop and a surface mounted one?
A concealed unit hides the arm and bracket inside a mortise in the door and jamb, so nothing is exposed to abuse or vandalism and the opening looks clean. It costs you frame prep. A surface unit bolts to the face of the door and the head of the frame, goes on in a fraction of the time and can be retrofitted to an existing opening, but it is visible and reachable. In heavy-abuse spaces like schools, corrections and healthcare corridors, concealed is what gets specified for exactly that reason. Surface alternatives ZenSupply carries include the Glynn-Johnson 79 Series and the Norton Rixson 10 Series.
12) Do I really need a heavy duty overhead stop, or will a medium duty one do?
Match the device to the traffic and the leaf. The Sargent 690 is heavy duty Grade 1 extruded bronze, which is what you want on a high-traffic entrance, a wide or heavy leaf, or anywhere the door gets thrown open daily. On a low-traffic interior office or closet door, a lighter concealed unit does the job for less prep and less hardware, such as the Glynn-Johnson 410 Series medium duty concealed, the Don-Jo 3023 or 3024 standard duty concealed stops, or the DORMA 711F standard duty concealed friction stop. Where the door is abused, do not step down.
13) I have a Don-Jo 3024 concealed stop failing on a busy door. Can I put a Sargent 690 in its place?
You are stepping up, not sideways. The Don-Jo 3024 is a standard duty concealed stop sized for 36 inch doors; the Sargent 690 is heavy duty Grade 1 and would be the right answer for a door that keeps killing standard duty units. Both are concealed, but the mortise cutout and hole pattern are brand specific, so plan on reworking the prep rather than dropping the 690 into the existing pocket. For a 36 inch leaf, order the 32-5/8 to 39-1/8 inch width band.
14) Can I use the Sargent 690 as an overhead closer or door check?
No. The 690 is a stop and holder, not a closer. It controls how far the door opens and can hold it there, but it will not pull the door shut or regulate closing speed. On an opening that needs both, you run a closer and pair it with the 690, or specify a closer that has its own built-in stop. If you only need the door held open and the swing limited, the stop/holder alone is enough.
15) I need the hold-open point set in the field rather than picked at order time. Does the Sargent 690 do that, or is there a better option?
The Sargent 690 adjusts for hold-open or stop between 85 and 110 degrees, with an on-off knob on the hold open models to switch the hold function without tools. If you want the opening control itself adjustable in the field, the ABH 1000A Series is a heavy duty concealed mount overhead stop and holder with field-adjustable opening control, and the ABH 1000RA and ABH 1000SA Series are heavy duty concealed stop and holder units with adjustable opening control.
16) Is the DORMA 711F an equivalent to the Sargent 690?
No. The DORMA 711F is a standard duty concealed friction stop covering a 21 to 27 inch door opening, so it is a friction stop for a narrow leaf rather than a heavy duty holder. The Sargent 690 is a heavy duty Grade 1 concealed stop and holder covering door widths from 24 inches through 32-1/2 inches, 32-5/8 through 39-1/8 inches, and 39-1/4 inches and over, and it is available in a hold and stop function as well as stop only. If you want a Dormakaba unit in the heavy duty class, the DORMA 900 Series covers heavy duty stops and holders.
17) I am standardizing overhead stops across a building. Which concealed heavy duty units can I specify alongside the Sargent 690?
The heavy duty concealed overhead stop and holder options are the Sargent 690, the Norton Rixson 1 Series Checkmate, the Glynn-Johnson 100 Series, and the ABH 1000A, 1000RA and 1000SA Series. The Sargent 690 and the Norton Rixson 1 Series both carry Grade 1. Where an opening in the run is fire rated, the ABH 1000 Series is the concealed heavy duty unit carrying a fire rating. The Sargent 690 is ADA compliant and rated for commercial use, and it comes in nine finishes including 26D satin chromium plated over nickel and 10BE dark oxidized satin bronze, which helps match the run to existing hardware.
