written permission ofSARGENT Manufacturing Company is prohibited. Patent pending and/or patent www.assaabloydss.com/patents.

CAUTION

An incorrectly installed or improperly adjusted door closer can cause

property damage or personal injury. These instructions should be

followed to avoid the possibility of misapplication or misadjustment.

Hold open units are not permitted to be installed in fire door assemblies.

NOTES:

‒ For special applications a separate door and frame preparation tem-

plate is packed with these instructions.

‒ Use this instruction sheet for installation sequence and closer adjust-

ments only.

‒ Use of an auxiliary door stop is always recommended.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

The closing force for Series 422 door closers is adjustable

from a size 1 to a size 6, as outlined in ANSI Standard A156.4.

When these series of door closers are installed and adjusted

to conform to ADA reduced opening force requirements

(5 lbs max.) for interior doors, they may not have adequate

closing force to reliably close and latch the door. Power

adjustments charted on page 2 are recommended

where possible, to ensure proper door control.

The Sargent 422 Cam Action Door Closer is a versatile and adjustable device designed for various door configurations, including pull side, push side, and inclusive restroom/telephone booth functions. It is engineered to provide controlled door closing and opening, with options for hold-open and spring stop features.

Function Description:

The 422 Cam Action Door Closer utilizes a cam mechanism to provide smooth and efficient door control. It is designed to be installed on either the pull side or push side of a door, or within a frame mount configuration. The closer's primary function is to regulate the speed at which a door closes (sweep and latch ranges) and to cushion the door's opening in the back-check range. Certain models also offer a hold-open feature, allowing the door to remain open at a desired angle.

Important Technical Specifications:

Usage Features:

Handing Determination: The manual provides clear visual aids to determine if a door is right-hand, left-hand, right-hand reverse, or left-hand reverse, which is crucial for correct installation.
Installation Sequence: Detailed, step-by-step instructions are provided for each mounting configuration, including marking locations, preparing the door and frame, attaching the closer body, and securing the arm and track.
Arm Attachment: The arm attaches to the track slider via a threaded hole and is secured with a 5mm hex wrench.
Power Adjustment: The closing power can be easily increased or decreased using a 5/8" socket or adjustable wrench on the power adjustment shaft.
Hydraulic Control: Separate valves ("L", "C", and "B") allow for fine-tuning of sweep speed, latch speed, and back-check cushioning using a 4mm hex-key.
Spring Stop: The spring stop assembly can be positioned to adjust the door's maximum opening angle (80-110 degrees). It is required for all configurations except the Push Side Frame Mount installation.
Hold Open Device: For models with a hold-open feature, the opening angle and holding power can be adjusted using screws on the device.
Inclusive Restroom/Telephone Booth Function Setup: Specific instructions are provided for setting up the closer for these applications, including opening the door to a desired "propped" position, inserting the spline shaft, securing the arm, and adjusting the spline vertically.
Cover Installation: An architectural plastic cover slides over the closer and snaps on for a finished look.
