Cal-Royal N900PBF-ALUM – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Cal-Royal N900PBF close a heavy 260 lb exterior door, or is it only for light interior doors?
The N900PBF handles doors from 30 to 260 lbs. It's a non-sized closer adjustable from Size 1 through 6, shipped factory preset to Size 3, so you set spring power on the job rather than ordering by door size. Bear in mind the BF (barrier free) version runs reduced spring power for ADA opening force, so at the top of that weight range on a windy exterior opening you may end up dialing it well up toward Size 6 and giving up some of the low opening force.
2) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand Cal-Royal N900PBF door closer?
Neither. The N900PBF is non-handed, so one closer works on either swing. It also mounts three ways: regular (pull side), top jamb, or parallel arm on the push side. Standard package includes the parallel arm bracket, so the push-side install doesn't require a separate purchase.
3) Can I use this Cal-Royal closer on a fire rated door?
Yes. The 900 Series N900PBF is UL Listed for fire door assemblies and certified to ANSI A156.4 Grade 1. Note that the delayed action option is a separate consideration on fire openings, and a hold-open function is not part of this closer, it's a non-hold-open closer with an optional stopper accessory.
4) Does the Cal-Royal N900PBF meet ADA opening force requirements?
That's the whole point of the BF suffix. The N900PBF is the barrier free build of the 900 Series, using reduced spring power to meet ADA and barrier-free requirements, which is what facilities specify for openings used by elderly or mobility-impaired occupants. Pair it with the delayed action option and the door holds near-open roughly 20 seconds between 70 degrees and 0 before beginning to close, adjustable up to a full minute, which gives someone with a walker or wheelchair time to clear the opening.
5) What is the difference between the delayed action and standard Cal-Royal N900PBF?
Delayed action is an order-time choice on the N900PBF, and you can't add it later. The delayed version holds the door open at a slow crawl for about 20 seconds between 70 degrees and 0, adjustable up to a minute, then closes normally. Specify it for slow-traffic openings, cart traffic, or accessible entries. Standard (no delayed action) closes straight through on the closing and latching valves. Both builds ship in Aluminum, Duronodic, or Gold.
6) What comes in the box with the Cal-Royal N900PBF, and what do I still need to buy?
Out of the box you get the closer body, full plastic cover, parallel arm bracket, wood screws, self-tapping machine screws, and sex bolts. Sex bolts matter on hollow core or wood doors where screws alone will pull out, so a through-bolted install is covered without a separate order. What's not included and often needed: a drop bracket where the frame face or door top rail is too shallow (the 950 Flat Drop Bracket or the 904 Parallel Arm Drop Bracket), a stop-in-arm if you have no wall stop (SPAS/900 Super Rigid Parallel Arm Stopper), or the HOSRPS/900 Hold Open Stopper if you need the door to hold open. A slide track arm (TRACK/900) and the 900EXT Extended Long Arm cover deep-reveal openings.
7) My frame has a shallow head or the door top rail is narrow. Will a surface closer still work?
Two ways around it on the 900 Series. On a parallel arm install where the frame soffit is too shallow, the 904 Parallel Arm Drop Bracket or 905 Parallel Arm Bracket drops the shoe down to available material; the 950 Flat Drop Bracket does the same on a regular arm. The other route is a slide track arm, the TRACK/900, which puts the arm in a track on the door face instead of a projecting elbow and is the usual answer on narrow top rails and aluminum entrances. If you'd rather buy a closer that ships with slide track as standard, the Corbin Russwin DC5230 Series is a Grade 1 surface closer with a slide track arm standard, pull side mounted.
8) What else could I buy instead of the Cal-Royal N900PBF for a Grade 1 ADA door closer?
Closest like-for-like on adjustable-spring Grade 1 ADA closers: the Calibre CA9901 is a Grade 1 tri-pack arm, size 2-5 ADA surface closer, and the Calibre CA4001 is a Grade 1 adjustable spring tension ADA hydraulic closer. Both cover the same accessible-entry job. For a full 1-6 adjustable range like the N900PBF, the Norton Rixson 8501A is a Grade 1 tri-mount closer with adjustable size 1-6 spring, and the Imperial USA TC4300 is a heavy duty size 1-6 ADA closer. Tri-mount, tri-pack, and the Cal-Royal's standard/top jamb/parallel arm design all mean the same thing in practice: one box covers all three mounting positions.
9) What is the closest Grade 1 surface closer to the Cal-Royal N900PBF if I need adjustable spring size 1 through 6?
The Cal-Royal N900PBF is a non-sized Grade 1 hydraulic closer adjustable from Size 1 through 6 and factory preset to Size 3, mounting regular, top jamb, or parallel arm. The Norton Rixson 8501A is a Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer with adjustable size 1-6 spring, and the BEST EHD9000 Series is a Grade 1 extra heavy-duty surface closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-6. The Dorma 8916-JT is also Grade 1 with adjustable size 1-6, but it is a jamb track, frame face mounting closer on the pull side rather than a tri-mount body, so the arm and prep differ.
10) I need an ADA barrier free closer but the opening is a light interior door. What is a lighter duty alternative to the Cal-Royal N900PBF?
The N900PBF uses reduced spring power for ADA and barrier-free compliance and covers doors from 30 to 260 lbs, which is more closer than a light interior door needs. For lighter openings, the BEST SL6000 Series is a Grade 1 light duty surface closer with adjustable spring sizes, the Arrow DC314 is a Grade 1 light duty surface closer in the DC300 Series, and the Norton Rixson 160 Series is a Grade 1 light duty commercial surface closer with adjustable spring. The Falcon SC91A is another light duty cast aluminum option, though it is Grade 3 rather than Grade 1, so it will not satisfy a Grade 1 spec on a drawing.
11) Which door closer should I use instead of the Cal-Royal N900PBF on a heavy exterior door in high traffic?
The Cal-Royal N900PBF is built with reduced spring power for barrier-free accessibility, which is the opposite of what a heavy, wind-loaded exterior leaf usually wants. Heavy duty Grade 1 alternatives include the Falcon SC71A heavy-duty surface-mount closer, the Sargent 1431 Powerglide heavy-duty surface closer with adjustable spring power, the BEST HD8000 Series heavy duty surface closer, and the Norton Rixson 1600BC Series aluminum storefront closer with tri-style mounting for storefront openings.
12) I need delayed action like the Cal-Royal N900PBF offers. What other closers give me that function?
The N900PBF is sold with delayed action as a yes or no option, and the delayed action version is preset to about 20 seconds between 70 degrees and 0 degrees, adjustable up to one minute. In the comparable set the Orca Hardware BHDC1958DA/PA and BHDC2011DA/PA are delayed action closers, both supplied as regular arm with parallel bracket and both tri-packed non-hold open arm for 1-3/4 inch doors. If the requirement is hold open rather than delayed action, the Orca BHDC1958HO/PA is a tri-packed hold open arm and the Accentra 51 Series is an industrial closer with hold open, tri-packed mount options, size 1-6.
13) What is a comparable ADA adjustable spring tension closer to the Cal-Royal N900PBF from another manufacturer?
The N900PBF gets its barrier-free performance from reduced spring power on a body adjustable Size 1 through 6. Comparable ADA-oriented closers include the Calibre CA9901, a Grade 1 tri-pack arm closer with size 2 through 5 adjustment, the Calibre CA4001, a Grade 1 adjustable spring tension ADA hydraulic closer, and the Imperial USA TC4300, a heavy duty size 1 through 6 ADA closer. The LCN 1250 is another ADA compliant surface closer, light duty, sizes 1 through 5, with all-weather fluid for exterior exposure.
14) Our fire doors need a closer that will not hold open. How does the Cal-Royal N900PBF compare with the hold open options?
The Cal-Royal N900PBF is UL Listed for fire door assemblies, and hold open on the 900 body comes from optional stopper accessories such as the HOSRPS/900 hold open stopper rather than from the base closer. Non-hold open peers include the Accentra 1101BF and 2701 Series, both tri-packed non-hold open arm, and the Design Hardware 116, 316 and 416 Series, all tri-packed non-hold open arm. If a hold open arm is wanted on a non-rated opening instead, the Accentra 51 Series and the Stanley Security A45-501HL long hold open arm, top jamb, are hold open configurations.
15) What finishes does the Cal-Royal N900 barrier free closer come in, and can I get a stainless cover?
Three body finishes: Aluminum, Duronodic, and Gold. Cover is a required selection at order time, with three choices: the standard full plastic cover, a stainless steel narrow cover with matching satin nickel arm and accessories, or a stainless steel narrow cover with matching stainless steel arm and parallel arm bracket. The stainless narrow cover is the one to pick when you're matching stainless storefront or lever hardware elsewhere in the entry.
16) The N900PBF has no hold open. How do I make the door stay open?
The N900PBF is a plain closer, so hold-open is an accessory decision. The HOSRPS/900 Hold Open Stopper adds hold-open at the arm. If you only need a stop and not hold-open, the SPAS/900 Super Rigid Parallel Arm Stopper takes the abuse when there's no wall or floor stop. If you'd rather buy a closer with hold-open built into the arm, the Accentra 51 Series (adjustable size 1-6) and the Orca Hardware BHDC1958HO both ship as tri-packed hold open arm closers.
17) Is the Cal-Royal 900 Series heavy duty enough for a school or hospital entrance, or should I step up?
For a high-traffic institutional entry the N900PBF is a Grade 1 hydraulic closer to ANSI A156.4 with adjustable back-check as standard, which is the feature that saves the door and frame when someone throws it open into the wind. If your spec calls for an explicitly heavy duty closer, the BEST EHD9000 Series is an extra heavy-duty Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-6, the BEST HD8000 Series is heavy duty Grade 1, and the Sargent 1431 Powerglide is a heavy-duty Grade 1 with adjustable spring power. Watch the trade-off: heavier spring works against the reduced opening force the barrier free build is there to deliver.
18) Can I standardize a whole building on the Cal-Royal N900PBF, or do I need different closers per opening?
One part number covers a lot of ground on a fleet. Because it's non-handed and adjusts across sizes 1 through 6 from a 30 to 260 lb door range, the same closer works on light interior doors and heavy entrances, on either swing, in regular, top jamb, or parallel arm mounting. For a property manager or facilities buyer that means stocking one closer plus a handful of brackets rather than a matrix, and setting spring power at each door. Match finish across the building by picking one of Aluminum, Duronodic, or Gold.
19) The door slams at the last few inches. Can the Cal-Royal 900 closer be adjusted?
Yes, closing sweep and latching speed are on two independent regulating valves, so you can slow the sweep without giving up the last-few-inches push that pulls the latch home, or the reverse. Adjustable back-check is also standard, which cushions the door before it hits the wall on an aggressive opening. That's three separate adjustments plus the spring size setting, all done on the closer without pulling it off the door.
20) The Cal-Royal N900PBF ships with a full plastic cover. What if the specification calls for a slide track arm or a concealed track closer instead?
The N900PBF is an exposed arm closer supplied with a full plastic cover, parallel arm bracket, and fasteners, and a TRACK/900 slide track arm is offered as an optional component. If the opening is specified for slide track from the start, 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. Note that the Arrow DCN314 and DCN325 are supplied less cover, so a cover has to be accounted for separately on those.
21) Is the Arrow DCN314 a direct swap for the Cal-Royal N900PBF?
Not a like-for-like swap. The N900PBF is a Grade 1 closer adjustable from Size 1 through 6 and rated for doors 30 to 260 lbs. The Arrow DCN314 is a light duty closer with an adjustable spring size range of 1 through 4 and is supplied less cover, so it covers a narrower spring range and does not include the cover the Cal-Royal ships with. Within the Arrow line the DCN325 carries an adjustable spring size 1 through 6 range, which matches the Cal-Royal's range more closely, though it is also supplied less cover.
22) We standardize closers across a whole building. Which comparable lines cover both light and heavy openings under one brand, like the Cal-Royal 900 Series does?
The Cal-Royal N900PBF is one non-handed, non-sized body adjustable Size 1 through 6 for doors 30 to 260 lbs, so a single part number covers a wide spread of openings. If the standard has to be a different brand, BEST spans SL6000 light duty, HD7000 medium duty, HD8000 heavy duty, and EHD9000 extra heavy duty, all Grade 1. Falcon spans SC91A light duty, SC81A medium duty, SC71A heavy duty, and SC61A light to medium duty. Sargent spans the 1131 and 1331 medium duty and the 1431 and 281 heavy duty, all Grade 1.
23) I searched Cal-Royal 900 closer and got Stanley pivots and drop plates. Are those substitutes?
No. The Cal-Royal N900PBF is a surface mounted hydraulic door closer body with arm and cover. The Stanley Security 327 and 341 are wardrobe pivots, hanging hardware rather than closing devices, and the Stanley 57-0100 is a box of steel machine screws for architectural hinges. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate for the DCN500 closer, an accessory that mounts a closer, not a closer itself. Cal-Royal's own mounting accessories for the 900 body include the 950 flat drop bracket, the 904 parallel arm drop bracket, and the 905 parallel arm bracket.
24) The Cal-Royal N900PBF is non-handed and mounts three ways. Which other closers are tri-mount rather than fixed to one mounting?
The N900PBF is a universal, non-handed body that supports standard, top jamb, or parallel arm installation. Other tri-mount bodies include the Dexter DCH1000, DCH4000, DCL2000 and DCM1000 Series, all Grade 1 surface closers mounting regular, parallel, or top jamb, with the DCH1000 supplied with a full cover. The Norton Rixson 1601P is a Grade 1 tri-mount closer with 180 degree swing. Fixed-mount alternatives read differently: the Corbin Russwin DC3200 is specified regular arm surface mounting, and the DC6200 and DC8200 are double lever regular arm, pull side mounting.
25) The Cal-Royal N900PBF comes in aluminum, duronodic and gold. What if I need a stainless or painted closer to match the rest of the openings?
The N900PBF is offered in aluminum, duronodic, and gold, and can be ordered with a stainless steel narrow cover with matching satin nickel arm and accessories, or with a stainless steel narrow cover, arm and parallel arm bracket. Cal-Royal also lists the 900MET and 900SMET metal covers and the 900COV cover as separate components. If a painted body is what the building already uses, the Dormakaba 7303 Series is a medium duty Grade 1 surface closer in a painted finish, and the LCN 1460T is a heavy duty Grade 1 closer in a powder coat finish.
26) We need a flat arm closer for a narrow top rail. Is the Cal-Royal N900PBF the right pick?
The Cal-Royal N900PBF uses a standard arm with an optional 900SPRING arm, RHDSA-SS arm, RHDSTP arm, 945AR arm, or 900EXT extended long arm, and its parallel arm bracket ships in the standard package. Where a flat arm is specifically required, the Dormakaba 8616 AF86P FC SNB1 689 is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer with a flat arm non-hold open arm supplied tri-pack, and the Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer with a flat non-hold open arm on jamb track frame face mounting.
27) What is the difference between the Cal-Royal N900PBF and a parallel arm only closer like the Calibre CA8001P?
The Cal-Royal N900PBF is a universal non-handed body that installs standard, top jamb, or parallel arm, and adjusts Size 1 through 6, so one part covers a range of openings and mounting conditions. The Calibre CA8001P is a Grade 1 ADA surface mount closer described as parallel arm, size 1, so it is committed to a single mounting and a single spring size. The Calibre CA5501 is a Grade 1 standard arm surface mount closer, likewise fixed to one arm style.
28) Is the Cal-Royal N900PBF suitable for a house, or is it a commercial closer?
Commercial. The 900 Series is built for office buildings, shopping centers, healthcare, education, and government facilities, with Grade 1 hydraulic performance and a UL Listing for fire door assemblies. It'll physically go on a residential door, but the size and spec are aimed at commercial traffic. For light residential or light commercial duty, the Deltana DC10, DC40, DC50, and DC70 closers are the simpler option.
