Cam Action Efficiency for Demanding Commercial Door Applications

The Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a professional-grade surface mounted door closer from the DC5000 Series, engineered with a cam action design that delivers significantly greater efficiency than traditional rack-and-pinion door closers in slide track applications.

Corbin Russwin DC5230 689 M54 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand version of the DC5230 closer?
Handing is not part of the order. The DC5230 is non-handed, so one unit covers either swing, and Corbin Russwin supports up to four mounting positions with the same closer, push or pull side, door or frame mounted. What you do have to decide is the arm: standard non-hold-open slide track, or the A1 hold open slide track.
2) How heavy and how wide a door can the Corbin Russwin DC5230 handle?
Spring power adjusts across sizes 1 through 6, covering doors up to 250 lbs. Corbin Russwin's recommended maximum interior door width is 54 inches. A size 1 setting suits a light interior door; size 6 is for a heavy exterior or oversized opening. Because the spring is field adjustable across the full range, one part number covers a mixed set of openings in a building.
3) Can I use the DC5230 on a fire rated door?
Yes, with the standard non-hold-open arm. The DC5230 is UL10C listed for positive pressure up to 3 hours and carries UL-cUL listing. The hold open option (A1 arm) is not for fire doors, since a fire door has to be free to self close. Order the standard slide track arm for any fire rated opening.
4) Does the Corbin Russwin DC5230 meet ADA opening force requirements?
It does. The cam action design in the DC5230 gives much lower opening resistance than a rack-and-pinion closer in a slide track application, and Corbin Russwin states compliance with ADA opening force requirements and ANSI A117.1. That is the reason to pick cam action on a barrier free opening: you still get full closing force and control, but the pull to open drops.
5) How far will a door open with a DC5230 closer installed?
Swing depends on which side you mount it. Pull side mounting gives 140 degrees; push side gives 110 degrees. If you need a wide swing for gurney or cart traffic, mount pull side. Backcheck is standard on every unit, so the closer cushions the door before it reaches the stop instead of letting wind or a hard push slam it into the wall.
6) Which Corbin Russwin part do I order if I want the door to hold open?
Order the DC5230 with the A1 hold open slide track arm; Corbin Russwin writes that as DC5200 x A1. The other choice is the standard non-hold-open slide track arm. Hold open is not permitted on fire rated doors, so on a fire assembly take the standard arm.
7) What is a Grade 1 surface door closer equivalent to the Corbin Russwin DC5230 with an adjustable size 1 to 6 spring?
The Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a Grade 1 surface mounted door closer with an adjustable spring size range of 1 through 6. Two peers match that Grade 1 rating with the same size 1-6 adjustment: the Norton Rixson 8501A, a Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer with an adjustable size 1-6 spring, and the BEST EHD9000 Series, a Grade 1 extra heavy-duty surface closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-6. The Imperial USA TC4300 Series is also a heavy duty size 1-6 ADA surface closer. The DC5230 differs from all three in arm type, running a slide track arm where the 8501A is tri-mount.
8) Which surface door closer should be used instead of the Corbin Russwin DC5230 when the opening needs a pull side track mounted to the frame face?
The Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a pull side mounted Grade 1 slide track closer. When the track has to land on the frame face instead, the Dorma 8916-JT is the closer built for it: a Grade 1 heavy duty jamb track closer for frame face mounting on the pull side, adjustable size 1-6, from the 8900 Series with a flat non-hold open arm. Both are pull side track closers with the same size 1-6 spring range; the mounting surface for the track is what separates them.
9) Which door closer should be used instead of the Corbin Russwin DC5230 when the arm must mount regular, parallel or top jamb?
The Corbin Russwin DC5230 ships with a slide track arm. When the job needs one closer that can be set up regular arm, parallel arm or top jamb, the tri-mount peers cover it: the Dexter DCH1000 Series is a Grade 1 surface closer with tri mount and a full cover, the Dexter DCH4000 and DCM1000 Series are Grade 1 tri mount closers, and the Arrow DCN325 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a regular/parallel tri-pack arm in adjustable spring size 1-6, matching the DC5230 spring range.
10) Which barrier free closers can replace the Corbin Russwin DC5230 on an ADA opening?
The Corbin Russwin DC5230 meets the ADA opening force requirement through its cam action design and is listed to ADA/ANSI A117.1. Peers written for the same barrier free requirement include the Cal-Royal 500S, a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check, the Cal-Royal N900PBF from the 900 Door Closer Series in barrier free Grade 1 hydraulic, the Calibre CA4001 with adjustable spring tension for ADA, and the Calibre CA9901, a Grade 1 tri-pack arm ADA closer in size 2-5 against the DC5230's size 1 through 6.
11) Can an Accentra 1101BF or Arrow DCN314 be used where the Corbin Russwin DC5230 is specified?
Only if the door falls inside their spring range. The Corbin Russwin DC5230 adjusts across spring sizes 1 through 6 and handles doors up to 250 lbs. The Accentra 1101BF is an industrial closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-4, and the Arrow DCN314 is a Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring size 1-4, supplied less cover with a regular/parallel tri-pack arm. On a wide or heavy exterior door calling for a size 5 or 6 setting, neither reaches it; for that range the Accentra 2701 Series adjusts 1-6.
12) What is the difference between a slide track closer like the DC5230 and a regular tri-pack arm closer?
A slide track arm runs in a track mounted flat against the door or frame, so the arm sits tight and out of reach, which is why it gets specified in schools, healthcare, and anywhere an exposed projecting arm gets grabbed or vandalized. A tri-pack closer such as the Arrow DCN325 or the Norton Rixson 8501A ships with a regular/parallel arm and mounting options in the box instead, and the arm stands off the door. Both close the door; the slide track is the low-profile choice, the tri-pack is the flexible-mounting choice.
13) Is the DC5230 closer heavy duty enough for a high traffic hospital or school entrance?
It is built for that traffic. The DC5230 is ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 with a cast aluminum body and cam and roller mechanism, tested to 25,000,000 endurance cycles. Grade 1 is the top commercial performance grade under A156.4. Corbin Russwin lists it for hospitals, universities, offices, retail, government buildings, multi-tenant residential, and industrial facilities.
14) Can I adjust the closing and latching speed after the DC5230 is installed?
Yes, and the valves face forward so you can reach them without pulling the cover or taking the closer off the door. Closing speed and latching speed adjust independently, and backcheck comes standard. Spring power is also field adjustable across sizes 1 to 6, and there is 1/2 inch of vertical adjustment at mounting to work around existing holes or trim.
15) What are the alternatives to the Corbin Russwin DC5230 if I need a different mounting or duty level?
For a pull side slide track equivalent from another brand, the Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer with jamb track, frame face mounting, pull side, adjustable size 1-6. If you want the same 1-6 spring range in a conventional tri-mount arm, look at the Norton Rixson 8501A or the Sargent 1431 Powerglide heavy duty. For a lighter interior door where Grade 1 heavy duty is more than the opening needs, the Falcon SC91A is a light duty Grade 3 unit.
16) I need to standardize door closers across a whole building. Does one DC5230 part number cover different openings?
Largely, yes. Because the closer is non-handed, adjustable from spring size 1 to 6, and mounts push or pull side on the door or the frame, a single model covers a range of openings across a facility, with the spline arm offering multiple indexing options for standard and special applications. Two things still have to be decided per opening: whether that door needs hold open (A1 arm) and which side you mount on, since pull side gives 140 degrees of swing versus 110 on the push side.
17) What door closer offers delayed action if the Corbin Russwin DC5230 does not?
The Corbin Russwin DC5230 provides independently adjustable closing speed, latching speed and standard backcheck. Where an opening needs a delayed action cycle instead, so a slow user or a cart has extra time to clear the door, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958DA/PA is a delayed action closer with a regular arm and parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the BHDC2011DA/PA is the same delayed action arrangement in the BHDC2011 Series. Both carry a tri-packed non-hold open arm.
18) What is a lighter duty alternative to the Corbin Russwin DC5230 for an interior office door that still needs Grade 1?
The Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a Grade 1 closer with an adjustable size 1 through 6 spring, built for high traffic commercial doors at 25,000,000 endurance cycles. For a lower traffic interior opening that still has to be Grade 1, the BEST SL6000 Series is a Grade 1 light duty surface closer with adjustable spring sizes, and the Norton Rixson 160 Series is a Grade 1 light duty surface closer with an adjustable spring. The Falcon SC61A is a Grade 1 light to medium duty cast aluminum surface closer. Each is a swing arm style closer rather than the slide track the DC5230 carries.
19) What hold open door closer works in place of the Corbin Russwin DC5230 with the A1 arm?
The Corbin Russwin DC5230 covers hold open through the A1 hold open slide track arm. If a hold open closer with a swing arm is wanted instead, the Accentra 51 Series is an industrial closer with hold open and tri-packed mount options in size 1-6, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958HO/PA carries a tri-packed hold open arm for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Stanley Security A45-501HL is a long hold open arm closer for top jamb mounting. Note that hold open is not for fire doors.
20) Does the Arrow DCN500DP drop plate fit the Corbin Russwin DC5230?
No. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate made for the Arrow DCN500 closer, not a closer itself and not a Corbin Russwin mounting accessory. The Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a complete Grade 1 surface closer supplied with a slide track arm and 1/2 inch vertical adjustment for fitting the track to the frame. Match Corbin Russwin DC5000 Series mounting hardware to the DC5230 rather than another manufacturer's drop plate.
21) What medium duty Grade 1 closers are comparable to the Corbin Russwin DC5230 for an office building standardization?
For standardizing interior openings alongside a Grade 1 program, the medium duty Grade 1 peers are the Sargent 1131 for medium-traffic commercial applications, the Sargent 1331 with a universal aluminum body, the Norton Rixson 1601P tri-mount with 180 degree swing, the BEST HD7000 Series with adjustable spring power and backcheck control, and the Dormakaba 7414 in size 1-4. The Corbin Russwin DC5230 shares Grade 1 certification and a 180 degree door opening size with the 1601P, and carries an adjustable size 1 through 6 spring against the 7414's size 1-4.
22) Is the Corbin Russwin DC5230 TAA compliant for a government project?
Yes. The DC5230 is listed as TAA compliant, alongside ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 certification, ADA/ANSI A117.1 compliance, and UL10C with UL-cUL listing, which is the documentation set most federal and municipal specs ask for on a surface closer.
