The traditional line of Sargent overhead Holders & Stops is unsurpassed in the industry in regards to aesthetic details and quality. The 590 heavy-duty surface applied and 690 concealed heavy-duty series are designed for use on exterior doors and highly abused interior doors. The 1530 concealed series and the 1540 surface applied series are designed for use on interior doors.

All stops/holders are templated and installed for a particular degree of opening ranging between 85° to 110°. All SARGENT overhead holders/stops include a heavy duty spring designed to gradually absorb impact forces over a 3° to 9° of opening. When using holders and stops on doors opening against a wall or back to back, they should be templated/installed to eliminate the trim from coming into contact with the walls or each other.
