A-Type End Load Configuration

The A-Type is a common overhead concealed closer arm configuration designed for center-hung doors with a 1" deep top rail.

Unlike a side-load arm, the A-Type arm installs from the end of the door's top rail, allowing it to connect with the OHC closer spindle while remaining concealed within the door and header assembly.

1" Top Rail Application

The 1" designation refers to the depth of the compatible door's top rail.

Before ordering, verify that the existing door is prepared for:

• A-Type arm

• End-load installation

• 1" deep top rail

• Center-hung configuration

• Compatible overhead concealed closer spindle

Different top-rail depths may require a different arm style.

Center-Hung Door Application

The A-Type arm is designed for center-hung commercial doors, where the pivot axis is located within the door rather than offset from the face.

Center-hung OHC systems are commonly found on:

• Aluminum storefront doors

• Glass-and-aluminum entrance doors

• Retail entrances

• Office buildings

• Commercial facilities

Designed for Prime 7000 Series OHC Systems

The system can use different arm configurations depending on the door preparation, including:

• A-Type End Load Arm

Always match the replacement arm to the existing door preparation.
