Sargent Door Closers

Sargent Door Closers for Complete Sargent Hardware Schedules

For projects specifying complete Sargent hardware throughout -- Sargent 8800 Series lever locks, Sargent exit devices, and Sargent cylinders -- Sargent door closers complete the single-brand hardware schedule with consistent ANSI finish codes across all products. One manufacturer relationship, one submittal package, one warranty contact. Sargent 350 Series surface closers are Grade 1 with UL 10C listing for fire-rated door assemblies, available in all standard mounting configurations: regular arm (hinge side/pull side), parallel arm (push side), and top jamb (push side where soffit or frame depth prevents standard arm mounting). We've been an authorized Sargent distributor since 2001. Call 877-471-4870 for 350 Series closer selection guidance and hardware schedule pricing.

Sargent 350 Series vs. LCN 4040XP: Single-Brand vs. Best-in-Class

Both are Grade 1 UL 10C listed surface closers. The Sargent 350 Series is the natural specification on Sargent-standard campuses where hardware schedule finish code consistency across lever locks, exit devices, and closers is valued. For projects where the door closer is the only Sargent component, LCN 4040XP has broader national parts availability and a larger field service network. On a full Sargent hardware schedule, Sargent 350 Series is the consistent specification. On a mixed-brand project, LCN is the default closer specification at most institutions.

Sargent 281 Series Concealed Closers

Sargent 281 Series overhead concealed closers mount inside the door top and frame header -- no visible closer hardware in the opening. Required when the design specification prohibits visible closer hardware, typically on high-design lobbies, executive suites, and architectural interiors where the standard surface closer arm would conflict with the design intent. The 281 Series requires factory-prepped doors and frames. Finalize concealed closer selection before shop drawings are issued -- retrofitting a concealed closer into a door that wasn't factory-prepped is cost-prohibitive.

Frequently Asked Questions: Sargent Door Closers

What spring size should I specify for a Sargent 350 Series closer?

Spring sizes 1-6 correspond to closing force. ADA Section 404.2.8 limits door opening force to 5 pounds on interior non-fire-rated doors on accessible routes. Size 1-2 is typically ADA-compliant on interior doors. Size 3-4 is the standard commercial specification for interior corridor and office doors. Size 5-6 for exterior doors subject to wind loading or for high-traffic abuse applications. The 350 Series ships set to Size 3 from the factory.

Is the Sargent 350 Series compatible with all 4041 closer accessories?

The Sargent 350 Series uses Sargent-specific accessories -- it's not cross-compatible with LCN 4041 accessories. For projects upgrading from LCN 4041 closers to Sargent 350 Series, all accessories (parallel arm brackets, specialty arms, track holders) must be ordered in the Sargent 350 configuration, not carried over from the existing LCN installation.
