Corbin Russwin 188F41-689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Corbin Russwin 188F41 bracket actually do on a door closer?
It converts a regular arm door closer to a parallel arm installation. The regular arm mounts on the pull side with the arm projecting out from the door; the parallel arm bracket lets the closer body mount on the push side with the arm running flat along the face of the door. That is the setup most commercial jobs want where the closer would otherwise stick out into the opening or take abuse from traffic.
2) Does the Corbin Russwin 188F41 parallel arm bracket come with the mounting screws, or do I need to order those separately?
All the hardware ships with it. Each 188F41 is packed with five screws and a 691F78 spacer, so the conversion is complete out of the box. You do not need to source a separate spacer or fastener pack to finish the install.
3) Is the 188F41 a complete door closer or just a bracket?
Just the bracket. The 188F41-689 is a replacement part for a Corbin Russwin door closer, not a closer assembly. You need an existing closer body and arm on the door; this bracket plus the included spacer and screws is what changes that closer over to a parallel arm mounting.
4) Will a parallel arm conversion change how far my door opens?
Yes, and it is worth checking before you convert. On the Corbin Russwin closer this bracket serves, the pull side (regular arm) setup allows up to 140 degrees of opening, while push side parallel arm mounting allows 110 degrees. If the opening needs to swing back flat against a wall or you have a door stop set beyond 110 degrees, plan for the reduced range.
5) Can I use a parallel arm conversion on a fire rated door?
The closer platform is UL10C positive pressure listed up to 3 hours and UL-cUL listed, so parallel arm mounting itself is fine on a rated opening. What you cannot do is put a hold open arm on a fire door. Hold open is available by specifying the A1 arm, but it is not for fire doors, where the closer must self-close every time.
6) Is this closer setup ANSI Grade 1 and ADA compliant for a school or healthcare facility?
Yes on both. The closer is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1, meets ADA/ANSI A117.1, and is TAA compliant, which is what institutional and government spec writers usually need on the submittal. Grade 1 is the top commercial durability tier for door closers.
7) What door thickness and weight does the closer this bracket mounts to handle?
The Corbin Russwin closer family the 188F41 bracket is used with is built for 1-3/4 inch (44mm) doors as standard, with adjustable spring sizes 1 through 6 handling doors up to 250 lbs. Recommended maximum interior door width is 54 inches. If your opening is a heavier or wider exterior door, size the spring toward the top of that range.
8) Do I need a left-hand and right-hand version of this parallel arm bracket?
No. The closer system is non-handed, with a single model supporting up to four mounting positions, so one 188F41 bracket covers either hand. For a property manager stocking spares across a building, that means one part number instead of two.
9) After I convert to parallel arm, can I still adjust closing and latching speed?
Yes. Closing speed and latching speed are independently adjustable on forward-facing valves, and backcheck is standard on every unit. Forward-facing valves matter on a parallel arm install because the closer body sits on the push side against the door, and you want to reach the adjustments without pulling the cover off awkwardly.
10) My closer sits too low or too high relative to the frame stop. Does the parallel arm mounting give me any adjustment?
There is 1/2 inch of vertical adjustment built into the mounting, which covers most of the small misalignments you hit when reusing existing holes or working around a soffit condition. Combined with the included 691F78 spacer, that usually gets the arm sitting square without redrilling the door.
11) What finish does the Corbin Russwin 188F41 bracket come in?
689 anodized aluminum, which is the standard painted-aluminum look that matches the majority of commercial closer bodies and arms in the field. It is the single finish offered on the 188F41, so if your openings are standardized on 689 closers the bracket will blend in without repainting.
