Glynn Johnson 414S Concealed Overhead Door Stop 33-1/16" - 39" Door

The Glynn Johnson 414S is a concealed overhead door stop from the 410 Series, sized for doors 33-1/16" to 39" wide, in the stop-only function. An overhead door stop controls how far a door can swing open and arrests it at a set point, protecting the door, frame, hinges, and surrounding walls from damage, and a concealed overhead stop does it from a channel hidden in the top of the door, so it's completely out of sight when the door is closed. The 414S is the stop-only model (no hold-open), it can be used on fire doors, and it's non-handed for single or double-acting interior doors. Glynn-Johnson is known in the industry as the overhead door holder specialist, with 75 years building this hardware.

What a concealed overhead stop does

This is worth understanding, because overhead stops work differently from floor or wall stops. Instead of stopping the door down low at the floor, an overhead stop mounts up top: a channel is mortised into the top edge of the door and a jamb bracket is mortised into the frame, with a slide arm connecting them. As the door opens, the arm travels in the channel until it reaches the stop point, halting the door before the edge or hardware can hit a wall or obstruction. Because everything mortises into the door and frame, when the door is closed the entire stop is completely concealed, only the arm and jamb bracket show when the door is open.

That makes the overhead stop the right choice where a floor stop would be a trip hazard or a wall stop isn't practical, and where a clean, hidden look matters. The 414S handles that job for medium-to-light-duty interior openings subject to normal activity.

Stop-only function and fire-door use

The "S" in 414S means stop-only: it stops the door at the set open position but does not hold it open. When a hold-open isn't wanted (so the door always closes), the stop-only function is the effective, simple way to control the door, and importantly, the stop-only model may be used on fire doors, where a hold-open would defeat the door's job of self-closing in a fire. If you do need the door to hold open, Glynn-Johnson's hold-open version (the "H" models) covers that, and the 410 Series channel/slide-arm design even allows simple field modification of the function if requirements change later.

The provided templates allow variable mounting positions from 85 degrees to 110 degrees of opening, so you can set how far the door swings, and they're designed for almost all door types, including conventional butt hinges and specialty hinges. The 414S is also compatible with most surface-applied door closers.

Why choose the Glynn Johnson 414S

Glynn-Johnson is the recognized specialist in overhead door holders and stops, and the 414S is its concealed, low-profile stop for protecting doors and walls without visible floor or wall hardware. You get a fully concealed install, fire-door-rated stop-only control, non-handed fit for single or double-acting doors, adjustable 85-110 degree opening, compatibility with most closers, and the industry's broadest finish range. For interior doors that need clean, hidden swing control on a medium-to-light-duty opening, the 414S is a proven, good-looking choice.

One thing to confirm before ordering: the 414S is the stop-only version for doors 33-1/16" to 39" wide. Match the model to your door width (Glynn-Johnson sizes these by width range), and if you need the door to hold open, choose the hold-open (H) version instead. Pick your finish to match the opening's other hardware.
