Cal-Royal CR441EHO-ALUM – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Cal-Royal CR441EHO hold a fire door open and release it when the alarm goes off?
That's exactly what the CR441EHO is built to do. The track arm holds the door open on 24V AC/DC power, and when current is interrupted the solenoid drops and the closer takes over as a full rack and pinion closer to close the door. It interfaces with the building alarm system, so a fire alarm or smoke detector signal cutting power releases the door. The closer body is UL and cUL listed for smoke barrier or labeled fire doors and conforms to NFPA 101.
2) Do I have to order a Cal-Royal CR441EHO left hand or right hand, and does the size need to be specified?
Neither. The CR441EHO is non-handed and non-sized, so one part number covers both hands and a range of door sizes. Spring power is set on the closer, and the hold-open force and the hold-open opening angle are field adjustable on the track arm. What you do pick is the finish: aluminum, duronodic, or gold.
3) What power supply do I need to run a CR441EHO electronic hold-open closer?
24V AC or DC feeds the holding solenoid, so either type of supply works. Wiring can be run concealed through the frame or surface mounted, and the closer mounts to either the head frame or the stop, which gives the electrician a route in on existing openings that were never prepped for wire. There is a built-in test switch for running integrity cycle tests once it is tied into the alarm system.
4) Is the Cal-Royal CR441EHO heavy duty enough for a hospital or school corridor door?
It's rated ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1, which is the heavy duty commercial classification and the one specified for high-traffic institutional corridors. The electrified hold-open side is tested and certified under ANSI A156.15, the standard covering closer/holder release devices. Between the two it covers the traffic and the life-safety function on the same opening.
5) Will the closer still close the door if the hold-open power fails or the building loses electricity?
Yes, and that is the safe-fail design. With no current at the solenoid, the CR441EHO works as a full rack and pinion closer and closes the door normally. The same happens whenever hold-open simply is not engaged. A power outage leaves you with a working Grade 1 closer, not a door stuck open or a door that will not latch.
6) What is the difference between the DORMA 8656 EMF/PT and the 8656 EMR/PT hold-open closers?
Both are push side surface-mount electromagnetic holder/release track closers rated Grade 1 heavy duty. The 8656 EMF/PT is the version without a detector, from the 8600 EMF Series, while the 8656 EMR/PT is the version with a detector, from the 8600 EMR Series. The detector version carries its own smoke sensing at the closer; the non-detector version takes its release signal from the building fire alarm. The Cal-Royal CR441EHO works the same way as the non-detector arrangement, interfacing with alarm systems and releasing on interruption of its 24V AC/DC supply, with a built-in test switch for integrity cycle testing.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Cal-Royal CR441EHO electronic hold-open closer from another manufacturer?
The Cal-Royal CR441EHO is a Grade 1 surface mounted closer with an electrically controlled hold-open track arm that releases and closes the door when current is interrupted. The nearest peer is the DORMA 8656 EMF/PT, a push side surface-mount electromagnetic holder/release track closer from the 8600 EMF Series, also rated Grade 1 and heavy duty. Both are track arm closers that hold a fire or smoke barrier door open electrically and close it on power loss, so they cover the same opening. The main difference to confirm before ordering is mounting side: the DORMA 8656 EMF/PT is specified for push side mounting, while the CR441EHO is non-handed and mounts on either head frame or stop.
8) Should I use an electronic hold-open closer or a magnetic door holder with a separate closer?
An electromagnetic wall or floor holder plus a standard closer are two devices with two preps and two failure points, and the hold-open point is fixed by where the magnet lands on the wall. The CR441EHO puts both in one surface-mounted unit on a single lever track arm, and the hold-open angle adjusts on the track rather than by relocating hardware. Choose the separate holder when the door has to stand open at an angle a track arm cannot reach, or where the closer already on the door is staying.
9) Does the CR441EHO carry a positive pressure fire test listing?
The closer body is listed to UL10C and UBC7-2-1997, along with UL and cUL listing for smoke barrier and labeled fire doors. UL10C is the positive pressure fire test standard, so it satisfies specs written for positive pressure openings.
10) Can I use a Cal-Royal CR441EHO on an exterior entrance door?
It's built for interior openings, specifically fire and smoke barrier doors inside the building, and Cal-Royal calls out interior door applications for it. Exterior entrances see wind load and weather that a hold-open track closer on an interior corridor door does not, and holding an exterior door open on a solenoid is rarely what the spec wants. For a perimeter door, use a standard surface closer without the electric hold-open.
11) How do I test that an electronic hold-open fire door closer actually releases during an inspection?
The CR441EHO has a built-in test switch for integrity cycle testing, so an inspector or maintenance tech can trip the release at the closer without pulling an alarm. That matters on annual fire door inspections in healthcare and education, where every hold-open device on a barrier door has to be demonstrated. The closer is certified under ANSI A156.15 and conforms to NFPA 101.
12) Which hold-open closer should I standardize on across a facility with doors of both hands?
The Cal-Royal CR441EHO is non-handed and non-sized with a full cover multi-size body, so a single part number covers left and right hand openings and a range of door sizes, which reduces the number of SKUs held on the shelf. The comparable DORMA units, including the 1816, 8656 EMF/PT, 8656 EMR/PT and 8956 EMF/PT, are each specified for push side mounting, so a mixed facility means matching the mounting side at each opening. All of them are Grade 1 heavy duty, so the standardization decision turns on handing and mounting side rather than on rated duty.
13) What finishes does the Cal-Royal CR441EHO closer come in for matching the other doors in a building?
Three: aluminum, duronodic, and gold. Aluminum is the usual match for clear anodized frames and duronodic for dark bronze anodized aluminum storefront and interior frames, which is what most commercial corridors run. The unit ships with a full cover, so the finish is what shows on the door.
14) Do I still get a working door closer if the hold-open power is never connected?
Yes. The Cal-Royal CR441EHO functions as a full rack and pinion closer when hold-open is not engaged or when current is interrupted, so the door still closes normally without the 24V AC/DC supply energized. The comparable DORMA holder/release closers, the 1816, 8656 EMF/PT, 8656 EMR/PT and 8956 EMF/PT, are all Grade 1 heavy duty closers built around the same principle of releasing to close. If the opening will never need electric hold-open at all, a plain Grade 1 surface closer without the electromagnetic hold-open feature is the simpler specification.
