BEST EHD9016-AF90P-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a BEST EHD9000 closer handle a 48 inch wide door?
The EHD9000 is sized for doors up to 48 inches wide on interior openings, 42 inches wide on exterior openings, and up to 180 lb. That exterior number is the one people miss: wind load and stack pressure are why the same closer is derated 6 inches outdoors. If your opening is a 48 inch exterior door, this is not the closer for it.
2) Do I have to order a left hand or right hand BEST EHD9000 closer?
No handing to specify. The EHD9000 body is non-handed and ships with the standard components for regular arm, top jamb, and parallel arm mounting, so one unit covers all three applications on either hand of door. The exception is the double egress track arms, TDE90L, TDE90R, TDEH90L and TDEH90R, which are handed and have to be ordered left or right.
3) Is the BEST EHD9000 fire rated and can it go on a positive pressure fire door?
Yes. The EHD9000 is ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 certified, UL and cUL listed, and meets UL10C for positive pressure. For a fire door assembly you need a non-hold-open arm, so choose a stop-only or plain arm like the SPA90 parallel arm or the IS90 regular/top jamb arm with stop rather than one of the hold open versions.
4) Which arm do I order for a BEST EHD9000 when the frame has a deep reveal?
Reveal decides the arm. Standard top jamb use up to a 4 inch reveal takes the AF90. From 4 to 8 inches of reveal you need the AF90J top jamb flat form arm, or the FHJ90 if you want friction hold open. For a heavy duty stop arm in a 3-1/2 to 6-1/2 inch reveal, order the ISJ90, or the ISJH90 to add hold open. Measure the reveal from the face of the door to the face of the frame stop before you pick.
5) How do I stop a door from swinging into a wall with a BEST EHD9000 closer?
Two ways, and they are not the same. The standard BC backcheck valve cushions the door hydraulically during opening so an abrupt push does not slam the door into the wall or wreck the frame. For a hard mechanical limit, order an arm with a built-in stop: DS90 or SDS90 on the parallel side, IS90 or SIS90 on regular and top jamb. The SDS/SIS versions use a compression stop, which absorbs the hit rather than stopping it dead. On parallel arm mounting the AVB variable backcheck gives a wider backcheck range and the valve stays reachable with the closer installed.
6) What do I need to order with a BEST EHD9000 besides the closer body?
Three things get specified: the arm, the finish, and the cover. Cover is a required choice of PC90 plastic, MC90 metal, or LL90 lead lined (the lead lined cover is what you use on an X-ray or imaging room door). The arm choice determines mounting and whether you get hold open or a stop. Fasteners come in the box: the SNDTPK90 pack includes separate self-drilling and self-tapping fasteners plus machine screws for a 1-3/4 inch thick door, and thru bolts.
7) Does the BEST EHD9000 have delayed action for a hospital or accessible door?
No delayed action on the EHD9000. If your spec calls for a delay so a wheelchair user or a cart has extra time to clear the opening, this closer will not provide it, and you should look at a closer with delayed action such as the Orca Hardware BHDC1958 delayed action model or the BHDC2011 delayed action model. What the EHD9000 does give you for accessibility is a size 1 setting at 5 lb opening force.
8) What is the closest heavy-duty equivalent to the BEST EHD9000 door closer from another manufacturer?
The BEST EHD9000 is a heavy duty Grade 1 surface mounted closer, and the nearest peers on the same footing are the Sargent 1431 Powerglide heavy-duty surface door closer with adjustable spring power, which is heavy duty and Grade 1, and the LCN 1460T heavy duty surface-mounted door closer, also heavy duty. The Falcon SC71A is another heavy duty Grade 1 surface-mount closer. All three sit in the same heavy duty, surface mounted class as the EHD9000, so specifying any of them against an EHD9000 schedule keeps the duty level and, for the Sargent and Falcon, the Grade 1 certification intact.
9) The EHD9000 is more closer than an interior office door needs - what is a lighter alternative that is still Grade 1?
For lower-traffic interior openings, the Arrow DC314 is a light duty Grade 1 surface mounted door closer, and the Norton Rixson 160 Series is a light commercial surface closer with adjustable spring, also light duty and Grade 1. The Falcon SC61A is light to medium duty and Grade 1. Each of those keeps the Grade 1 certification that the EHD9000 carries while sitting at a lighter duty level, so a facility standardizing on Grade 1 can mix them into the same schedule as the heavy duty EHD9000 openings.
10) What should I use instead of the EHD9000 on a door that needs delayed action for accessibility?
The BEST EHD9000 has no delay function. When an opening needs a delayed closing cycle - a healthcare corridor, an accessible entry where someone needs extra crossing time - the Orca Hardware BHDC1958 Series delayed action door closer with regular arm and parallel bracket, and the Orca Hardware BHDC2011 Series delayed action door closer with regular arm and parallel bracket, are both built as delayed action units. Both Orca models are for 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness the EHD9000 machine screw pack is supplied for.
11) Which door closer covers the same spring size 1 to 6 range as the BEST EHD9000?
The EHD9000 adjusts across spring sizes 1 through 6 plus 50 percent. Peers that also state a size 1-6 adjustable range include the Dorma 8916-JT Grade 1 surface closer, jamb track, frame face mounting, pull side, adjustable size 1-6; the Norton Rixson 8501A Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer with adjustable size 1-6 spring; the Accentra 51 Series industrial closer with hold open, size 1-6; the Accentra 2701 Series architectural closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-6; and the Imperial USA TC4300 Series Grade 1 heavy duty size 1-6 ADA closer. The Arrow DCN325 is a Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring size 1-6 supplied less cover.
12) I need a track arm closer for a pull side frame mounted opening - EHD9000 or something else?
Both routes exist. The BEST EHD9000 is ordered with the arm as part of the part number, including JT90 jamb track pull side frame mounted, JTH90 jamb track with hold open pull side frame mounted, and T90 track arm pull side door mounted. If you would rather specify a closer that ships as a jamb track unit, the Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty surface closer with jamb track, frame face mounting, pull side, adjustable size 1-6, and the Corbin Russwin DC5230 Series is a Grade 1 surface closer with slide track arm standard, pull side mounting, for 1-3/4 inch doors.
13) Can I substitute the Cal-Royal 400 Series for the BEST EHD9000?
Not on a Grade 1 schedule. The Cal-Royal 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic door closer, while the BEST EHD9000 is Grade 1. If the drawing or facility standard calls for Grade 1, Cal-Royal itself offers the 500S barrier free closer with adjustable back-check and the 700S dual valve sized closer with adjustable tube arm, both Grade 1, and either keeps the certification the EHD9000 was specified for.
14) Does the Falcon SC91A meet the same certification as the BEST EHD9000?
No. The Falcon SC91A is a light duty cast aluminum surface-mount closer certified Grade 3, while the BEST EHD9000 is Grade 1 with UL and CUL listing and meets UL10C for positive pressure. On a fire-rated or Grade 1 specified opening, the SC91A is a different certification level. Within Falcon, the SC81A is medium duty Grade 1 and the SC71A is heavy duty Grade 1, and the SC71A is the one that sits at the EHD9000 duty level.
15) I need a closer with a lead lined cover for an X-ray room - what are my options?
The BEST EHD9000 is ordered with the cover as a required selection, and LL90 lead lined cover is one of the three choices alongside PC90 plastic and MC90 metal. Among the comparable heavy duty Grade 1 closers - the Sargent 1431 Powerglide, the Falcon SC71A, the Dormakaba 8616 AF86P with flat arm - the cover is not a lead lined option, so for a shielded imaging room opening the EHD9000 with the LL90 cover is the one to specify.
16) What is the difference between a track arm and a regular arm on a BEST EHD9000?
A regular or parallel arm projects out from the door and is what most commercial openings use; it gives the strongest control and the most backcheck. A track arm runs in a slide channel and sits tight to the door, which is what you pick where the projecting arm is a vandalism target or where the architect wants a low profile. On the EHD9000 the track choices are T90 pull side door mounted, JT90 pull side frame mounted, PT90 push side soffit mounted and FT90 push side transom mounted, each with a hold open version (TH90, JTH90, PTH90, FTH90). Note that a track arm gives up backcheck range compared to a heavy duty stop arm, so on an abuse-prone exterior door the DS90 or SDS90 parallel arm is the better call.
17) What is the right closer for a double egress frame?
A double egress pair, where the two leaves swing opposite directions in the same frame, needs a handed track arm. The BEST EHD9000 covers it with the TDE90L and TDE90R pull side frame mounted double egress track arms, and TDEH90L and TDEH90R if you want hold open. You order one closer per leaf, left handed for one and right handed for the other. Most tri-mount closers do not offer a double egress arm at all, so this is a real reason to spec the EHD9000 on a hospital cross-corridor pair.
18) Can I standardize one closer across an entire building with the BEST EHD9000?
That is what the adjustable spring is for. A single EHD9000 body covers sizes 1 through 6 plus 50 percent, so the same part number goes on a light interior office door at size 1 and a heavy exterior entrance at the top of the range, with the valves tuned on site. It also mounts regular, top jamb, or parallel with the components already in the box. Finish is where you standardize visually, and 16 are offered: 600 primed for painting, 605, 606, 611, 612, 613, 618, 619, 625, 626, 630, 689 aluminum painted, 691, 693 black, 695 dark bronze and 696 gold. What varies from door to door is the arm, so stock is really a matter of stocking the right arms.
19) How does the BEST EHD9000 compare to an LCN 1460T or a Sargent 1431 for a heavy traffic door?
All three are heavy duty surface closers. The LCN 1460T is a heavy duty surface mounted Grade 1 commercial closer in a powder coat finish, and the Sargent 1431 Powerglide is a heavy duty surface closer with adjustable spring power. The EHD9000 is the extra heavy duty tier of that group: Grade 1, doors to 48 inches interior and 180 lb, spring range 1 through 6 plus 50 percent, and the AVB variable backcheck with a valve you can reach without pulling the closer off the door. Other heavy duty options in the same class are the Falcon SC71A and the Dormakaba 8600 Series 8616 with flat arm.
20) Is the BEST EHD9000 overkill for a standard interior office door?
For an ordinary interior office or a light commercial door, yes, and there are cheaper ways to close it. The EHD9000 is built for exceptionally wide, tall, or heavy doors and high traffic. For a normal interior opening look at a medium duty Grade 1 closer such as the Sargent 1131 or the Norton Rixson 8501A with size 1-6 adjustable spring, or a light duty unit like the LCN 1250 in sizes 1-5. Where the EHD9000 earns its place is a 48 inch conference room leaf, a heavy stairwell door, or an entrance that gets abused.
21) Can tenants adjust the closing speed on a BEST EHD9000 themselves?
Not without the right tool. Every valve on the EHD9000 is a tamper-resistant hex key adjustment, which keeps a tenant or a student from opening the sweep valve with a screwdriver. The maintenance tech gets three: sweep, latch, and backcheck, all standard. On parallel arm applications the AVB backcheck valve is reachable with the closer still mounted, so a speed complaint does not mean pulling the unit.
22) Which BEST EHD9000 arm do I use to hold a door open?
Depends how you want it held. Friction hold open (FH90, FHJ90 for a 4-8 inch reveal, FHP90 tri-pack) holds by friction anywhere in the arc. Plunger hold open (PH90 for regular and top jamb, PHP90 for parallel and top jamb) and the SPAT90 thumb-turn parallel arm hold at a set point you engage deliberately. If you also want a stop built in, use DST90 or SDST90 on the parallel side and ISH90 or SISH90 on regular/top jamb. Track versions are TH90, JTH90, PTH90 and FTH90. None of these belong on a fire rated door.
23) Can the BEST EHD9000 mount on a door with no room on the pull side?
Yes, mount it parallel arm on the push side. The EHD9000 ships with components for regular, top jamb, and parallel arm out of the box, so you do not order a different unit for it. Parallel arm is also where the AVB variable backcheck gives you the extra backcheck range, and the heavy duty parallel arms with stop are SPA90, DS90 and SDS90. Top jamb is the third option when the door face is unusable and the frame head is available.
24) Is the Arrow DCN325 a drop-in substitute for a BEST EHD9000?
It matches on adjustment range but not on class. The Arrow DCN325 is a Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring size 1-6, which lines up with the EHD9000 spring range, but the DCN325 is a light duty unit supplied less cover. The EHD9000 is heavy duty and is ordered with a cover selection - PC90 plastic, MC90 metal, or LL90 lead lined. On a heavy or high-traffic opening specified for extra heavy-duty service, the DCN325 is a different duty class, and a cover has to be sourced separately rather than chosen with the closer.
25) What is a simpler tri-pack closer to spec when I do not need the EHD9000 arm selection?
The EHD9000 is ordered with a specific arm chosen from a long list, including tri-pack options such as AF90P standard flat form arm tri-pack and FHP90 friction hold open arm tri-pack. If you want one part number that arrives with the mounting options in the box, the Design Hardware 116 Series is a heavy duty closer with a tri-packed non-hold open arm, the Design Hardware 416 Series is likewise heavy duty with a tri-packed non-hold open arm, and the Dormakaba 8616 AF86P is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer with a flat arm non-hold open tri-pack. The Calibre CA9901 is a Grade 1 tri-pack arm size 2-5 ADA surface mount closer.
26) For a hold open opening, do I order the EHD9000 with a hold open arm or specify a dedicated hold open closer?
Either works. The EHD9000 carries hold open in the arm selection - FH90 friction hold open, ISH90 heavy duty regular/top jamb arm with hold open and stop, DST90 heavy duty parallel arm with hold open and stop, and PH90 regular/top jamb plunger hold open among them. If you would rather order a closer already built around hold open, the Accentra 51 Series is an industrial closer with hold open, tri-packed mount options, size 1-6; the Orca BHDC1958HO is a hold open closer with parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors; and the Stanley Security A45-501HL has a long hold open arm standard, top jamb.
27) Which closers besides the BEST EHD9000 handle regular, top jamb, and parallel arm mounting from one unit?
The EHD9000 is non-handed and includes standard components for regular, top jamb, and parallel arm applications. Peers built the same tri-mount way include the Dexter DCH1000 Series Grade 1 surface closer, tri mount regular, parallel or top jamb mounted, with full cover; the Dexter DCH4000, DCL2000 and DCM1000 Series, all Grade 1 tri mount; the Norton Rixson 1601P Grade 1 surface closer with tri-mount design and 180 degree swing; and the Norton Rixson 8501A Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer. The Norton Rixson 1600 Series aluminum storefront closer uses tri-style mounting and is heavy duty Grade 1.
28) Is the Stanley 327 pivot an alternative to the BEST EHD9000?
No - they do different jobs. The Stanley Security 327 is a heavy wardrobe pivot for doors 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch up to 150 lbs, and the Stanley 341 is a wardrobe pivot for flush recessed or overlay doors. A pivot hangs and swings the door; it does not control the closing cycle. The BEST EHD9000 is a surface mounted door closer with BC, sweep and latch valve adjustment. If a swinging opening needs controlled closing, a pivot does not replace it.
29) What medium duty Grade 1 closer works on the lighter openings in a building standardized on the EHD9000?
The BEST EHD9000 is heavy duty Grade 1. For the interior openings in the same building that do not carry that traffic, the Sargent 1131 is a Grade 1 adjustable surface closer for medium-traffic commercial applications, medium duty; the Sargent 1331 is a Grade 1 medium duty closer with a universal aluminum body; the Falcon SC81A is a medium duty Grade 1 cast aluminum surface closer; and the Dormakaba 7414, size 1-4, is medium duty Grade 1. All four hold Grade 1 alongside the EHD9000 openings.
30) Which heavy duty closer has a cast iron body if I do not want the EHD9000?
The Sargent 281 Powerglide is a cast iron surface door closer with heavy-duty construction, heavy duty and Grade 1, and the LCN 1261 is a surface-mounted closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-5 and cast iron construction, rated light to medium duty. Against those, the BEST EHD9000 is a heavy duty Grade 1 closer with spring sizes 1-6 plus 50 percent and an AVB advanced variable backcheck on parallel arm applications. If the specification calls out cast iron specifically, the Sargent 281 is the heavy duty match.
31) What is a lead lined door closer cover for?
The LL90 lead lined cover on the BEST EHD9000 is for radiation shielded openings, X-ray and imaging suites in healthcare buildings, where the shielding in the door and frame has to continue across any surface mounted hardware. If radiation shielding is not part of your spec, order the PC90 plastic cover or the MC90 metal cover instead. Metal is the one to pick on high abuse and public corridors.
32) Are the mounting screws included with the BEST EHD9000, or do I need to buy fasteners?
Included. The SNDTPK90 pack ships with the closer and carries self-drilling fasteners, self-tapping fasteners, thru bolts, and machine screws sized for a 1-3/4 inch thick door. That covers a hollow metal frame, a wood door, and a thru-bolted aluminum or high abuse install without a separate order.
