Corbin Russwin 689F03 689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Corbin Russwin 689F03 arm fit my DC3000 door closer?
The 689F03 is a complete replacement parallel arm for Corbin Russwin DC3000 and DC6000 Series closers. It is the A4 arm configuration for those bodies, so it swaps onto an existing DC3000 or DC6000 closer without changing the closer itself. It is not a universal arm, and it will not adapt a closer from another manufacturer.
2) Does the 689F03 parallel arm have a built-in stop so I can stop using a separate door stop?
It has an integrated backstop: a field-reversible steel lug that limits how far the door swings, protecting the door, the wall, and the hardware behind it. The lug reverses in the field, so one part covers either swing direction. That is the reason to pick this arm over a plain parallel arm when the door opens into a wall or into adjacent hardware, though it is a door-control stop, not a substitute for a floor stop on an abusive opening.
3) How far will a door open with the Corbin Russwin 689F03 backstop arm installed?
Opening is restricted to somewhere in the 85 to 110 degree range, set by where the steel lug is indexed. If your opening needs a full 110 degree push side swing with nothing holding it back, the backstop version is the wrong choice; a standard parallel arm without the lug is what you want.
4) Does the 689F03 arm hold the door open?
No. The 689F03 is a non-hold-open arm; it stops the swing at the backstop but the door still closes. For hold open on a Corbin Russwin closer you need the A1 hold open arm specified instead, and hold open is not permitted on fire door assemblies.
5) Do I need to replace the whole door closer or can I just replace the arm?
Just the arm. The 689F03 is a complete arm assembly sold as a replacement part, so a bent, seized, or vandalized arm on a DC3000 or DC6000 closer is a parts swap rather than a full closer replacement. The closer body, its spring setting, and its speed valve adjustments all stay in place.
6) The opening needs the door to stay open on its own. Does the Corbin Russwin 689F03 parallel arm do that, and what arm does?
The 689F03 is a non-hold-open arm. Its field-reversible steel lug is a backstop that restricts the degree of opening to protect the door, wall and hardware, and it controls opening between 85 and 110 degrees, but it returns the door to the closed position every cycle. For an opening that has to stand open, the Design Hardware 316/116 Friction Hold Open Arm is a standard duty friction hold open arm built for 116/316 Series closers, so it is a hold open answer on a Design Hardware closer body rather than a swap onto a Corbin Russwin DC6000 Series closer. Keep in mind that hold open arms are not used on fire rated openings.
7) Which side of the door does the 689F03 parallel arm mount on?
Pull side. Parallel arm mounting puts the arm on the pull face, running parallel to the door with the closer body on the door and the shoe on the frame soffit. If your existing closer is push side (regular arm or top jamb), this arm does not apply to that installation.
8) What finishes does the Corbin Russwin 689F03 parallel arm come in, and can I match my existing closers?
Six finishes: 600 primed for painting, 689 anodized aluminum, 690 dark bronze, 691 light bronze, 693 black, and 696 satin brass. Order the arm in the same finish code as the closer body already on the opening and it matches; if the building's closers were field painted, 600 primed lets you paint the arm to suit.
9) Is the 689F03 arm suitable for a high-traffic commercial building where people tamper with the hardware?
That is what it is built for. The arm is a commercial-duty part with tamper-resistant construction that deters unauthorized adjustment or removal of the assembly, which keeps the opening restriction where the installer set it. On school corridors, healthcare, and multi-family openings where the stop setting gets fiddled with, that is the practical benefit over a standard arm.
10) My parallel arm closer needs a drop plate to clear the stop, does the 689F03 include one?
The 689F03 is the arm assembly only, no mounting plate. Where a narrow head frame or an applied stop leaves too little soffit for the shoe, a parallel arm drop plate is a separate part. ZenSupply carries Design Hardware parallel arm drop plates in 3-1/2 inch height for the 116 Series and 5 inch for the 316 and 416 Series, though those are sized to their own closers, so match the plate to the closer brand you are mounting.
11) What is the difference between a backstop arm and a friction hold open arm on a door closer?
Two different jobs. The Corbin Russwin 689F03 backstop arm limits the swing (85 to 110 degrees) but always returns the door to closed. A friction hold open arm, like the Design Hardware 316/116 friction hold open for its own 116 and 316 Series closers, holds the door standing open at a set point instead. If you want the door to stay open, a backstop arm will not do it; if you need the door to self-close on a fire-rated or code-controlled opening, the hold open arm is the wrong direction.
12) Is the 689F03 handed, do I need to specify left or right hand?
No handing to specify. The steel lug is field reversible, so the same part serves either swing; you set the lug for your door during installation. Order by finish only.
13) Is a parallel arm drop plate the same thing as the Corbin Russwin 689F03 parallel arm?
No, they are two different pieces of the same installation. The 689F03 is the complete arm assembly itself, the linkage that connects a DC6000 Series closer body to the door and carries the backstop lug. A part like the Design Hardware 116 Parallel Arm Drop Plate is a 3-1/2 inch height steel, non-handed mounting bracket that lowers the closer body onto the door face where the top rail or frame stop leaves too little mounting surface. If the arm on the door is bent, worn or the wrong swing, the arm assembly is the replacement part; a drop plate will not restore arm function.
14) I have Design Hardware drop plates on the shelf. Will one of those work with the Corbin Russwin 689F03 parallel arm job?
Drop plates are matched to the closer series they were made for, not to the arm. The Design Hardware 316-PA-DP is a 5 inch parallel arm drop plate for the 316 Series and the 416-PA-DP is a 5 inch parallel arm drop plate for the 416 Series, both standard duty, while the 116 Parallel Arm Drop Plate is a 3-1/2 inch height plate for the 116 Series. The 689F03 arm is built for the Corbin Russwin DC3000 and DC6000 Series closer bodies, so the mounting hole pattern a Design Hardware plate carries is cut for a different closer. Match the drop plate to the closer body already on the door, then order the arm to that same closer.
