Extended Arm t/s Double Rebated Door Selector – 202mm

In the world of commercial door hardware, a 202mm extended Arm is a specialized length designed to overcome the limitations of standard 150mm–175mm arms. This extended profile is the definitive solution for doors mounted within deep reveals or where the closer body is positioned significantly further from the hinge line. By providing an additional 202mm of reach, this 202mm extended arm ensures that the closer can achieve its full intended opening angle (typically 180°) without straining the internal spring or colliding with the door frame.

Crafted from high-grade materials—typically Heavy-Duty Forged Steel or Grade 304 Stainless Steel—these 202mm Extended Arm are built to withstand the high torque and lateral forces of high-traffic commercial environments. Whether finished in Satin Stainless Steel (SSS), Silver Enamel, or Matte Black, the 202mm arm provides a rigid, vibration-free operation that maintains the structural integrity of the door assembly.

Why the 202mm Extended Arm is the Professional Choice

• Optimized 202mm Reach: Provides the necessary clearance for “deep-inset” doors where standard arms would bind against the frame.

• Enhanced Opening Geometry: Ensures the door can open to its full potential, reducing the risk of damage to hinges and the closer mechanism.

• Solid-Core Structural Integrity: Forged from high-tensile metals to prevent bowing or flexing under the high pressure of heavy-duty power-adjustable closers.

• High-Projection Clearance: Ideal for doors with specialized trim, decorative molding, or unusual hinge offsets that require the arm to “reach around” obstructions.

• Universal Compatibility: Designed to interface with industry-standard square or splined spindles found on Grade 1 door closers.

• Corrosion-Resistant Finishes: Multi-layer coatings ensure the arm remains fluid and rust-free in both internal and external installations.

Professional Installation and Styling Tips

Installing a 202mm Extended Arm requires precise calibration to ensure the door closes securely and latches every time:

1. Verify Spindle Alignment: Before tightening the main bolt, ensure the arm is seated perfectly on the closer spindle. Any misalignment will lead to “rounding” of the teeth and eventual mechanical failure.

2. Adjust the Pre-Load: Use the threaded portion of the extended arm to set the correct “pre-load” tension. The door should have enough pressure to overcome air seals but not so much that it becomes difficult to open.

3. Check the Reveal Depth: Measure the distance from the face of the frame to the face of the door. A 202mm arm is generally required when the reveal depth exceeds 100mm.

4. Lubricate the Pivot Points: Every 6 months, apply a drop of high-grade machine oil to the knuckle joint of the arm. This prevents “squeaking” and ensures a silent, smooth sweep.

5. Finish Continuity: For a professional architectural look, ensure the finish of the extended arm matches the door closer body and the surrounding door handles/hinges.

A Structural Essential for Demanding Openings

The 202mm Extended Arm is the definitive choice for facility managers and architects who refuse to compromise on door functionality in complex architectural settings. It bridges the gap between standard hardware and bespoke requirements.
