This parallel arm delay door closer mounts to the push side top jamb and solves high-traffic accessibility challenges where doors need controlled delayed action closing. The LCN 1461DELRWPAAL provides adjustable spring power from size 1 through 6 to handle door widths from lightweight interior to heavy exterior applications. The delayed action mechanism holds doors open briefly after opening, then closes at normal speed to meet self-closing requirements.
Cast iron construction with all-weather fluid handles temperature extremes while the parallel arm configuration keeps the closer body away from the opening. Adjustable backcheck, sweep, and latch speeds let you fine-tune performance for each installation. The aluminum finish provides corrosion resistance for interior and exterior use.
