Functional Details
The hold open arm function allows the door to remain in an open position at a selected point in the swing, which can be useful for convenience and traffic flow in appropriate non-rated applications. In this 1461-HW/PA-FPC configuration, the hold open arm is paired with a parallel arm shoe for a lower-profile mounting arrangement while maintaining controlled closing performance.
- Hold-open arms are not permitted to be used on fire door assemblies.
- Parallel arm mounted closers are mounted on the push side of the door with the arm parallel to the door face.
- Non-handed.
Arm Type Details
This model uses a hold open arm with parallel arm shoe, combining the convenience of hold-open functionality with the appearance and reduced projection of a parallel arm installation. Parallel arm mounting places the closer on the push side of the door and keeps the arm assembly more closely aligned with the door face.
