The Arrow 5016NPH LBZ Commercial Door Closer is a Grade 1, surface-mounted hydraulic door closer designed for dependable operation in commercial and institutional buildings.

Featuring an adjustable spring power range of sizes 1–6, Door Saver parallel arm with mechanical hold-open, full plastic cover, and Light Bronze Painted finish, the 5016NPH LBZ combines durable construction with precise door-closing control.

Part of the Arrow 5016N Series, this closer is engineered for commercial openings requiring consistent closing performance, adjustable backcheck protection, and reliable mechanical operation.

The included hold-open parallel arm allows the door to remain open at the properly adjusted hold-open position, providing convenience during deliveries, equipment movement, and other permitted commercial applications.

Its adjustable spring power allows installers to select the appropriate closing force based on door size, weight, and operating conditions, while independent sweep and latch adjustment valves provide precise control over the closing cycle.

The full plastic cover conceals the closer body and mounting hardware, offering a clean architectural appearance that coordinates with commercial door systems.

Finished in 691 / US10 Light Bronze Painted, the closer is suitable for commercial buildings with matching light bronze door hardware and architectural finishes.

The Arrow 5016N Series features cast aluminum construction, hardened steel rack-and-pinion components, high-tensile springs, and hydraulic closing control for reliable commercial service.

Important: This is the hold-open Door Saver parallel-arm configuration. It is not the standard non-hold-open closer and does not include the optional delayed-action feature.

How the Arrow 5016NPH LBZ Works

1. Manual Door Opening

The door is opened manually, causing the parallel arm and closer mechanism to operate.

2. Hydraulic Backcheck

As the door approaches its backcheck range, the hydraulic mechanism provides adjustable resistance to help control excessive opening speed.

3. Mechanical Hold-Open

When the door reaches the properly adjusted hold-open position, the hold-open arm can retain the door in the open position.

4. Hold-Open Release

The door must be moved to release the mechanical hold-open mechanism before the closer can begin its normal closing cycle.

5. Sweep Closing

The hydraulic closer controls the main portion of the closing cycle at the adjusted sweep speed.

6. Latching Cycle

Near the closed position, the independently adjustable latch speed helps provide sufficient closing movement for proper latching.

7. Door Returns to Closed Position

The closer completes the closing cycle and returns the door to its closed position.
