Commercial Door Closer Hold-Open Arm | Adjustable Friction Design | Aluminum Finish | Replacement Arm for 46 Series

Keep compatible commercial doors conveniently open when needed with the Prime Door Controls 46 Series Friction Hold Open Arm.

Designed for compatible Prime 46 Series commercial door closers, this replacement arm uses a mechanical friction hold-open function to maintain the door at the desired open position.

Finished in Aluminum, the arm coordinates with common commercial closers, hollow metal doors, aluminum storefront systems, and architectural hardware.

Friction Hold-Open Function

The friction mechanism allows the closer arm to maintain the door in an open position without requiring a separate floor or wall-mounted door holder.

This is useful for applications where doors periodically need to remain open for:

• Deliveries

• Cart traffic

• Equipment movement

• Cleaning

• Maintenance

• Temporary increased pedestrian traffic

• Moving furniture or supplies

The hold-open function can then be released so the closer resumes normal closing operation.

Replacement Applications

The 46 Series Friction Hold Open Arm is an excellent replacement when the existing closer arm is:

• Bent

• Broken

• Loose

• Worn

• Missing

• No longer holding the door open properly

• Damaged from excessive door movement

• Being converted to a compatible hold-open configuration

Inspect the closer spindle, arm shoe, mounting points, and closer body when replacing the arm.

Aluminum Finish

The Aluminum finish provides a clean commercial appearance that coordinates well with:

• Aluminum storefront frames

• Hollow metal doors

• Commercial door closers

• Aluminum-finish hinges

• Exit devices

• Other architectural door hardware
