Size and Handing

DC3000 Series

Factors in Determining Closer Size

1 - Weight and Height of Door

Doors vary in weight from light hollow-core wood doors to heavy metal doors. Door sizes listed in the chart are based on doors of standard weight and height. Extra-light or extra-heavy weight or unusual height must be compensated for. Contact factory if door weight exceeds 250 lbs.

2 - Draft and Wind Conditions

Draft and wind conditions are perhaps the most important factors to consider in determining the closer size required. Sizes listed in the chart apply to normal conditions. Stairwells, air conditioning, building construction, and door location can cause strong draft and wind conditions; these may necessitate adjusting spring power to a larger size or using a closer one size larger.

3 - Code Compliance

A multi-sized, fully adjustable closer such as the DC3200 closer provides the greatest flexibility in balancing barrier-free access, security and life safety codes. However, when a manual closer is installed and adjusted to comply with ADA or any other reduced opening force requirements, it may no longer have sufficient power to close and latch the door reliably.

NOTE:

• Before installing a door closer, verify the accessibility, fire, and life-safety requirements that are in effect. This includes the mounting height and projection into the clear opening. Check the adopted state and local building codes and consult the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
• To maintain the warranty and ensure proper operation of the product, follow the installation instructions & templates and install on the inside of the building.
• Consult NFPA 80 for the hinge requirements on a fire door.
• Failure to use fasteners supplied with closer may void factory warranty.
• Optional fasteners are available for a variety of applications. Consult the door and frame manufacturer to ensure the proper fasteners are used to maintain certifications.
• Sizing charts are based on 1-3/4" x 7' standard weight doors swinging to 110°. Other application conditions (e.g. larger door heights or weight) may require larger size closer. Adjusting the spring power to meet the low opening force requirements of the Americans With Disabilities Act or ANSI/ BHMA Standard A117.1, may not provide adequate closing power to dependably close and latch the door in some conditions (i.e. air movement from wind gusts or building stack pressure).

Helpful Terms

DC3000 Series

Arm

The linkage of a closer that connects the body to the door or frame.

Backcheck

Slows a door during the opening cycle, by providing cushioned resistance to a forceful opening. Designed to protect people and objects behind the door and to prevent damage to the closer, hardware, and wall. Intensity can be increased or decreased. Not intended to act as a stop.

Closing Speed

The speed at which a door swings from the open position to within a few degrees of latching. See Latching Speed.

Corrosion Protection

Additional painted covering on all external parts to deter oxidation and corrosion.

Door Stop

A device to stop the swing of a door.

Hold Open

Maintains door at a particular degree of opening. A mechanical hold open may not be used on labeled fire doors, which must be self-closing.

Latching Speed

The speed of the door during the last few degrees of closing. Allows latching and prevents slamming.

Mounting

The method by which a closer is attached to the door and frame.

Multi-Sized Closer

A closer whose spring tube design allows full adjustment of the spring power size from 1 through 6.

Quik-Install™ Mounting Bracket

Unique bracket that simplifies installation and minimizes installer fatigue.

Sex Nuts and Bolts (SNBs)

Thru-bolts required for all non-steel-reinforced fire doors, and recommended for non-reinforced wood and mineral core doors.

Spring Power

A measurement of closing force, or the ability to overcome draft, air pressure, weight or other resistance to door closing.

Star Punch

An eight-sided socket hole in the closer arm, permitting spindle pre-loading. Provides full functioning of backcheck and delayed action valves, and additional closing force, on parallel arm mountings.

Universal Mounting

The ability of a closer to accommodate either hand of door for regular, top jamb or parallel arm mounting.
