PDQ's SCS Series Spring Cushion Stop helps reduce wear and tear on the opening. As the door begins moving through backcheck to its maximum opening angle, the stop acts as a shock absorber, dampening the impact forces.

Regular Arm (RA)
Regular arm mount is a pull side application with double lever arm. The closer mounts on the door and the arm mounts to the frame. It provides the most efficient operation for door control and is commonly used on in-swing doors from corridors or other interior doors. Regular arm mount is a poor choice for exterior out-swinging doors as it would put the closer on the exterior of the building. The arm assembly projects directly out from the frame. That may be a concern for vandalism or aesthetics. Regular arm application can be used with non-hold open or hold open arms.
Top Jamb Mount
Top jamb mount is a push side double lever arm application that offers the best alternative to regular arm mount. The closer mounts to the frame and the arm mounts to the door. This application is commonly used on exterior out-swinging doors. It is a poor application for in-swinging doors from a corridor as it places the closer arm in a visible application projecting into the corridor. The arm projects out similar to regular arm mount. Therefore, it can be a concern for vandalism or aesthetics. Top jamb application can be used with non-hold open or hold open arms.
Parallel Arm (PA)
Parallel arm mount is a push side double lever arm application. The closer is installed on the push side of the door and the arm is mounted to a parallel arm adapter plate installed to the frame soffit. The arm is approximately parallel with the face of the door, eliminating the projection condition evident with regular arm and top jamb applications. Parallel arm is often preferred where aesthetics or vandalism are concerns. Parallel arm is less efficient than regular or top jamb mounts due to the geometry of the arm. Parallel arm application can be used with non-hold open or hold open arms.
Parallel Stop Arm (DS/DSHO) Extra Duty PA Arm (EDA/EDAHO)
The parallel stop arm mount is an enhanced version of the parallel arm application. It is similar to the parallel arm mount but incorporates a heavy duty rigid arm and soffit plate with limiting dead stop. The dead stop feature is field handed. The closer's backcheck function should be adjusted to cushion the impact of the stop. The parallel stop arm is intended for use where an auxiliary stop cannot be utilized. The parallel stop arm is available in non-hold open (DS) and hold open (DSHO) applications.
Recommend using the SCS Spring Cushion Stop for moderate to high abuse installations.
For Extra Duty PA Arm applications, specify EDA or EDAHO. Similar to DS/DSHO without the stop. Requires separate limiting stop by others.
Track Arm (TA)
The non-handed Track Arm mount incorporates a single stamped arm not designed to be used as a limiting dead stop. It's low profile helps to eliminate projecting arm conditions, which can reduce vandal damage.
Pivot Stop Arm (PS)
The PS (Pivot Stop) arm is designed to serve as a medium-duty door stop for situations where a door stop or overhead stop is not practical. Available in Regular and Top Jamb mounting, the PS arm uses backcheck to slow the door and a stop integrated into the closer arm to limit the travel of the door. The PS arm limits the travel of the door to a specific, templated angle. Templating is available for opening angles from 85 to 110 degrees in 5 degree increments. The PS arm is not available with hold-open.
