The Glynn Johnson 70 series provides a durable Hold-Open mechanism that can be turned off, allowing the unit to function as a shock-absorbing stop. The Hold-Open tension is simply adjusted incrementally for increased or decreased holding power by turning the nut at the end of the 1/2" diameter stainless steel bar.

Hold Open and Stop
Hold-Open models provide a selective Hold-Open function with easy-to-adjust tension. A simple 90 º rotation of the roller mechanism disables the Hold-Open function, allowing the unit to serve as a shock-absorbing stop. The Hold- Open function provides a convenient method of holding the door open at a predetermined position for short or long periods of time, permitting an unobstructed traffic flow through the opening.

Stop Only
When the Hold-Open function is not a requirement, Stop-Only models provide a reliable method of door control. Stop-Only models provide the same shock-absorbing capability as Hold-Open models. The Stop-Only model may be used on fire doors.
