The Arrow 5016NH LBZ Commercial Door Closer is a heavy-duty, Grade 1 hydraulic surface door closer designed for reliable, controlled door closing in commercial and institutional environments.

Featuring adjustable spring power from sizes 1 through 6, a mechanical hold-open arm, tri-pack mounting flexibility, and a full plastic cover, this versatile closer provides dependable operation for a wide range of commercial doors.

Part of the Arrow 5016N Series, the 5016NH LBZ supports three installation configurations: regular arm, top jamb, or parallel arm mounting, allowing the same closer model to accommodate different door and frame conditions.

The mechanical hold-open arm allows the door to remain open at a selected position until manually released, making it useful for approved service entrances, stockrooms, maintenance rooms, and other non-fire-rated commercial openings.

Designed with a durable cast aluminum body, hardened steel rack-and-pinion mechanism, high-tensile springs, and adjustable hydraulic closing controls, the Arrow 5016NH provides consistent performance in demanding commercial settings.

Independent sweep-speed and latch-speed adjustment valves allow installers to control the door's closing cycle, while adjustable backcheck helps cushion excessive opening movement.

The included full plastic cover conceals the closer mechanism and provides a clean architectural appearance.

Finished in 691 / US10 Light Bronze Painted, this closer coordinates with compatible light bronze commercial door hardware, frames, and architectural finishes.

Important: This listing is for the 5016NH tri-pack hold-open model. The 5016NPH Door Saver parallel-arm model is a separate configuration.

How the Arrow 5016NH LBZ Works

1. Door Opening

The door is manually opened, moving the hold-open arm and closer mechanism.

2. Backcheck Control

The hydraulic backcheck mechanism provides resistance as the door approaches its adjusted opening range.

3. Hold-Open Engagement

When the door reaches the selected hold-open position, the mechanical arm retains the door in the open position.

4. Manual Release

The door is moved to release the hold-open mechanism.

5. Controlled Sweep Closing

The hydraulic closer regulates the main closing movement according to the adjusted sweep-speed setting.

6. Latch Closing

The independently adjusted latch speed controls the final portion of closing.

7. Complete Door Closing

The door returns to the closed position, allowing the compatible latch or lock to engage.
