The best door control device is one that operates overhead, with an arm functioning from the jamb to the top of the door. When the door stopping or hold-open does not exceed 110°, this device is by far the most efficient.

Glynn-Johnson overhead holders and stops should always be used on doors furnished with door closers, as closers are not door stops and should not be expected to perform that function. Glynn-Johnson overhead stops are designed to protect door closers from violent openings.

Glynn-Johnson manufactures a full line of push/pull latches, including the standard passage set, a privacy set and a version that incorporates a mortise lock. The sleek design has a short throw angle, allowing the door to be opened with an easy push or pull action, even when hands are not free.
