Description
The GLYNN JOHNSON 453H32D is a medium duty, Size 3, hold-open surface overhead door holder finished in satin stainless steel. This unit mounts to the surface of the door and frame to control door swing and hold the door in the open position, preventing uncontrolled movement in high-traffic or service corridors. It is a mechanical, non-electrical device rated for medium duty cycle applications. At 26 inches in length and weighing 2.2 pounds, the 453H32D is a compact, durable unit suited for commercial and institutional door openings where consistent hold-open performance is required. Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter, ironworker, or door hardware specialist.
The 453H32D is designed for commercial and institutional interior door applications where a surface-mounted overhead holder is preferred over a floor-mounted or concealed solution. Typical installations include office corridors, healthcare facility hallways, school buildings, and light industrial spaces. The satin stainless steel finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for demanding environments. This holder is sold individually as a single unit.

Installation should be performed by a qualified door hardware installer or finish carpenter familiar with overhead holder alignment and fastener requirements. Power tools and appropriate fasteners for the door and frame substrate are required. Verify door weight and width fall within the Size 3 medium duty rated range before installation.
