Spring Cushion Function

The spring cushion mechanism provides additional resistance as the door approaches its maximum opening position.

This helps absorb abrupt opening forces caused by:

• Wind

• Forceful door opening

• Heavy pedestrian traffic

• Carts

• Equipment

• Deliveries

• Everyday commercial use

The cushioning action helps reduce shock transferred into the closer, hinges, door, and frame.

The hold-open feature allows the door to remain open when necessary for applications such as:

• Deliveries

• Cart traffic

• Equipment movement

• Cleaning

• Maintenance

• Moving furniture or supplies

• Temporary high-volume pedestrian traffic

Once released, the compatible door closer resumes normal controlled closing operation.

It can help protect:

• Door closer body

• Closer spindle

• Arm assembly

• Hinges

• Door reinforcement

• Adjacent walls and hardware

Available Finishes

Important Fire Door Note

A mechanical hold-open arm should not be used to hold open a fire-rated or smoke-control door when doing so interferes with the opening's required self-closing function.

Rated openings requiring hold-open capability typically require an approved automatic-release system tied to the appropriate life-safety controls.
