Description
The Sargent 281 Powerglide is a heavy-duty cast iron surface door closer engineered for both interior and exterior applications. Ideal for architects, building owners, and facility managers, it solves the challenge of controlling door swing reliably across demanding environments while meeting ADA requirements and fire-rated door standards.
The 281 works on standard, top jamb, parallel, and track installations with adjustable spring power (sizes 1-6, factory-set to size 3). It retrofits existing Sargent 250 and 1250 closers and is UL/CUL-listed for fire doors. As an authorized Sargent dealer, E.D. Locks provides expert guidance on sizing, keying, and compliance.
