Product Description
The SDC – SECURITY DOOR CONTROLS EHR5A is a 5-inch extension rod finished in chrome, designed to extend the reach of compatible door closer arms. This type of accessory is used when standard arm length is insufficient for the door or frame geometry, allowing the closer to operate correctly without binding or misalignment. The chrome finish provides a clean, corrosion-resistant appearance suited for commercial and institutional door hardware installations. Door hardware installers and locksmiths install this rod as part of a complete door closer assembly.
The EHR5A is used in commercial, institutional, and light industrial door applications where door closers require additional arm reach. Typical scenarios include oversized door frames, offset hinges, or non-standard door-to-frame clearances that prevent a standard-length arm from functioning properly. This extension rod is sold as a single unit and is intended for use with compatible SDC – SECURITY DOOR CONTROLS door closer systems.
