Frequently Asked Questions - 422 Cam Action Sargent
How do I adjust the closing speed on my Sargent 422 Cam Action door closer?
Locate the two adjustment valves on the front of the closer. The valve closest to the hinge side controls the general closing speed, while the one further away controls the latching speed. Use a hex key to turn clockwise to slow down, counterclockwise to speed up. Always adjust in small increments and test the door.
What is the maximum door weight the 422 Cam Action can handle?
The Sargent 422 Cam Action is available in sizes 2 through 5. Size 5 can handle doors up to approximately 150 lbs, while size 2 handles lighter doors. If unsure, check the adjustment label on the closer or contact Sargent for guidance.
Can I mount the 422 sideways on the push side of the door?
Yes, the 422 Cam Action can be mounted on the push side using a parallel arm bracket. However, the factory standard is for regular arm mounting on the pull side. A parallel arm kit is available separately.
How do I adjust the backcheck feature?
The backcheck is adjustable using the valve located on the side of the closer body. Turn the adjusting screw clockwise to increase backcheck resistance (harder push to open fully) or counterclockwise to decrease it. This helps prevent door slamming against stops.
My door closer is leaking oil. What should I do?
Oil leakage indicates a damaged seal. The unit should be replaced as the closer is sealed and not repairable in the field. Contact Sargent for a replacement under warranty if applicable.
How do I install the 422 Cam Action closer?
Follow the template included in the box. Mount the closer on the door using the provided screws. Install the arm on the door frame. Ensure proper alignment and use the template holes for accurate drilling. Adjust spring size according to door weight.
What is the difference between cam action and rack and pinion?
Cam action closers use a cam instead of a rack and pinion to control the spring force. This provides a more efficient closing curve, often with less effort required to open the door. The Sargent 422 Cam Action offers smooth operation and adjustable force.
How do I change the spring size on my 422?
The spring size is preset at the factory and not adjustable without disassembly. However, separate models are available for sizes 2 to 5. To change size, you need to replace the entire closer unit or order a unit with the correct spring.
What maintenance does the 422 need?
Periodically check the screws and arm for tightness. Clean the closer body with a soft cloth. Lubrication is not required as the unit is sealed. Adjust valves if the closing speed changes over time.
Is the Sargent 422 Cam Action UL listed for fire doors?
Yes, the 422 Cam Action meets UL 228 standards for fire door closers. It is suitable for use on fire rated doors when installed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Check local codes.
