Corbin Russwin DC8220 690 M54 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Corbin Russwin DC8220 work on a fire-rated door?
Yes on the fire door, no on the hold open arm. The DC8220 meets UL10C and UBC7-2c positive pressure requirements up to 3 hours and is UL-cUL listed, so it can go on a fire-rated opening. But the A1 hold open arm is not permitted on fire doors, so order the standard non-hold top jamb arm for those openings. Hold open on a fire door has to come from an electromagnetic hold open tied to the fire alarm, not a mechanical arm.
2) Is the DC8220 door closer handed, or do I need to order left and right hand separately?
Non-handed. One DC8220 covers either hand, and the single model supports up to four mounting positions, so you can stock one unit and use it on openings that swing either way. That is the practical reason facilities standardize on it across a building.
3) What size door will a Corbin Russwin DC8220 handle?
Spring power is field adjustable through sizes 1 to 6, which covers doors up to 250 lbs, and the recommended maximum interior door width is 54 inches. Door thickness is 1-3/4 inches, the standard commercial leaf. On a wide or heavy exterior leaf you dial the spring up; on a light interior door you dial it down to hold the ADA opening force.
4) Does top jamb mounting mean the closer goes on the frame instead of the door?
Right. Top jamb puts the closer body on the face of the frame above the opening with the arm reaching down to the door, which is what you use when the door face has no room for the body, on narrow top rails, or on exterior doors where you want the body inside. The DC8220 ships configured for top jamb with a push side arm, and the closer itself also supports pull side and push side, door or frame mounted, with 1/2 inch of vertical adjustment to work around existing prep.
5) Is the Corbin Russwin DC8220 ADA compliant for an accessible entrance?
The DC8220 is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 and complies with ADA/ANSI A117.1, and the adjustable spring range from size 1 up is what lets an installer set the opening force low enough on an accessible interior opening. It is also TAA compliant, which matters on federal and municipal jobs.
6) What is the difference between the standard arm and the A1 arm on the DC8220?
The standard arm is a non-hold open top jamb arm for push side mounting, so the door always closes and latches. The A1 is the hold open version of that same top jamb push side arm, letting the door stay propped at the set point for deliveries, moving, or ventilation. Both come in the same six finishes. Pick the standard arm for any fire-rated or self-closing-required opening, since hold open is not allowed on fire doors.
7) What is a direct Grade 1 heavy-duty alternative to the Corbin Russwin DC8220 with the same adjustable size 1-6 spring range?
The Corbin Russwin DC8220 is a Grade 1 surface closer with spring power adjustable from size 1 through 6. Close equivalents in the same class include the BEST HD8000 Series, a Grade 1 heavy-duty surface mounted closer, and the Sargent 1431 Powerglide, also Grade 1 heavy duty with adjustable spring power. The Falcon SC71A Series is another Grade 1 heavy-duty surface-mount option. All are surface-mounted commercial closers in the same duty class as the DC8220.
8) I need a closer that ships with regular, parallel and top jamb brackets in one box instead of a dedicated top jamb unit like the DC8220 - what should I order?
The Corbin Russwin DC8220 is configured for top jamb mounting as its default arm application. If you would rather stock one tri-mount carton that covers regular, parallel and top jamb on the same job, the Dexter DCH1000 Series is a Grade 1 surface closer offered tri mount for regular, parallel or top jamb with a full cover, and the Dexter DCH4000 Series is the same tri mount arrangement without it. The Norton Rixson 8501A is a Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer with adjustable size 1-6 spring, and the Norton Rixson 1601P is a Grade 1 tri-mount design rated for 180 degree swing.
9) I want a hold-open closer - do I have to order the DC8220 with the A1 arm or is there another product that comes hold open?
The Corbin Russwin DC8220 is offered with an A1 hold open top jamb arm for push side mounting alongside the standard non-hold top jamb arm, so hold open is an arm selection on the same model. If you are sourcing across brands, the Accentra 51 Series is supplied with a tri-packed hold open arm in sizes 1-6, the Orca BHDC1958HO/PA carries a tri-packed hold open arm with a parallel bracket, and the Stanley Security A45-501HL is a long hold open arm standard in a top jamb application. Note that hold open arms are not used on fire doors.
10) For an aluminum storefront entrance, is the DC8220 the right closer or should I look at something else?
The Corbin Russwin DC8220 is a top jamb mounted Grade 1 closer built for 1-3/4 inch doors and a recommended maximum interior door width of 54 inches. For an aluminum storefront entrance specifically, the Norton Rixson 1600 Series aluminum storefront closer is a Grade 1 heavy duty unit with tri-style mounting, and the Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty jamb track closer for frame face mounting on the pull side, adjustable size 1-6.
11) How far will a door open with a DC8220 on it?
Swing depends on which side the closer is mounted. Pull side gives up to 140 degrees, push side up to 110 degrees. Since the DC8220's top jamb arms are push side, plan on the 110 degree range unless a wall stop or adjacent construction limits it further. Backcheck is standard on every unit, so the closer cushions the door before it slams into whatever is behind it, which is the feature that saves frames in windy entrances and high-traffic corridors.
12) Is this closer durable enough for a school entrance that gets abused?
That is exactly the target. The DC8220 is rated to 25,000,000 endurance cycles with a cast iron body, double heat-treated steel pinion, and captured valves so the speed settings cannot be turned with a screwdriver by a passerby. Optional Torx security screws are supported for the cover and mounting. That combination is why it gets specified for schools, correctional facilities, and public buildings.
13) Can I adjust the closing speed and latch speed after it's installed?
Yes, and without pulling the door down. The DC8220 has forward-facing independent valves for closing speed and latching speed, so an on-site tech can reach them from the front once the cover is off. Backcheck is built in as standard rather than an extra option. The valves are captured, which means they cannot be backed out entirely and dumped fluid.
14) What's the difference between the DC8220 and a heavy duty closer from BEST or Falcon?
All are Grade 1 surface closers, but they differ in mounting and body. The DC8220 is a non-handed cast aluminum cam and roller closer shipped set up for top jamb with sizes 1 to 6. The BEST EHD9000 Series is an extra heavy duty Grade 1 with adjustable sizes 1 to 6, and the BEST HD8000 Series is heavy duty Grade 1. The Falcon SC71A Series is heavy duty Grade 1, while the Falcon SC81A is medium duty. If you need a tri-mount closer that can go regular, parallel, or top jamb out of one carton, the Norton Rixson 8501A is Grade 1 tri-mount with size 1 to 6 spring.
15) I need a hold open closer but the DC8220 top jamb arm won't fit my opening. What else is there?
For hold open on a different mounting, the Accentra 51 Series is a tri-packed hold open arm closer with size 1 to 6 spring, so it can be set up regular, parallel, or top jamb from one box. The Orca Hardware BHDC1958 hold open version is another tri-packed hold open option and is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, same thickness as the DC8220. The Stanley Security A45-501HL is a long hold open arm for top jamb specifically if you are staying top jamb but need more reach.
16) Is a Grade 1 closer like the DC8220 overkill for a low-traffic interior office door?
Often, yes. On a light interior door in a low-traffic suite you can drop to a lighter duty unit and save the spec. The Falcon SC91A is a light duty Grade 3 cast aluminum closer, and the BEST SL6000 Series and Arrow DC314 are light duty Grade 1 options. Step back up to the DC8220 when the opening is fire rated, takes real traffic, needs the 25,000,000 cycle life, or has to resist tampering.
17) The DC8220 is more closer than I need for a light interior office door - is there a lighter Grade 1 option?
The Corbin Russwin DC8220 is a Grade 1 commercial closer rated to 25,000,000 endurance cycles with spring sizes 1 through 6, which is aimed at high-use, high-abuse openings. For a lighter interior door, the BEST SL6000 Series is a Grade 1 light duty surface closer, the Norton Rixson 160 Series is a Grade 1 light commercial surface closer with adjustable spring, and the Arrow DCN314 is a light duty unit with adjustable spring size 1 to 4. The Falcon SC61A is Grade 1 in a light to medium duty build.
18) What is the difference between the Corbin Russwin DC8220 and a Grade 2 closer like the Cal-Royal 400?
The Corbin Russwin DC8220 is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 and rated to 25,000,000 endurance cycles, with a cast aluminum cam and roller body and UL10C listing for fire-rated openings. The Cal-Royal 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic closer, a different certification tier under the same standard. If a Grade 1 barrier free unit is what the spec calls for from Cal-Royal instead, the 500S is Grade 1 with adjustable back-check and the 700S is a Grade 1 dual valve sized closer with an adjustable tube arm.
19) Is the Arrow DCN500DP drop plate a substitute for a DC8220 closer?
No. The Corbin Russwin DC8220 is a complete Grade 1 surface door closer with an adjustable size 1 to 6 spring. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate for the DCN500 - a mounting accessory that adapts a closer to the door face, not a closing device. Ordering it will not give you a closer. Along the same lines, the Stanley 327 and 341 are wardrobe pivots and the Stanley 57-0100 is a box of steel machine screws for architectural hinges; none of those control door closing.
20) If I am standardizing a school or correctional facility on one extra heavy-duty closer, what competes with the DC8220?
The Corbin Russwin DC8220 is a Grade 1 closer rated to 25,000,000 endurance cycles with captured valves and optional Torx security screws, which is why it is specified into schools and correctional and public buildings. In the same extra heavy-duty bracket, the BEST EHD9000 Series is an extra heavy-duty surface closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-6, the Sargent 281 Powerglide is a heavy-duty Grade 1 cast iron closer, and the LCN 1460T is a heavy duty Grade 1 commercial closer in a powder coat finish.
21) What are the mid-duty alternatives if the DC8220 is heavier than the opening calls for but I still need Grade 1?
The Corbin Russwin DC8220 covers spring sizes 1 through 6 for doors up to 250 lbs. For a medium-duty Grade 1 unit instead, the Sargent 1131 is a Grade 1 adjustable surface closer for medium-traffic commercial applications, the Sargent 1331 is Grade 1 medium duty with a universal aluminum body, the Falcon SC81A is a Grade 1 medium duty cast aluminum closer, and the Dormakaba 7414 is a Grade 1 medium duty closer in size 1-4. The LCN 1450 is a medium duty surface closer with cast aluminum construction and spring sizes 1-6.
22) What other ADA-compliant barrier free closers are comparable to the Corbin Russwin DC8220?
The Corbin Russwin DC8220 is ADA compliant to ANSI A117.1 with adjustable spring sizes 1 through 6 so opening force can be tuned down at an accessible entrance. Comparable ADA and barrier free units include the Cal-Royal N900PBF, a Grade 1 barrier free hydraulic surface closer, the Imperial USA TC4300, a Grade 1 heavy duty size 1-6 ADA closer, the Calibre CA9901 with a tri-pack arm in size 2-5, and the LCN 1250, a light-duty ADA compliant closer in sizes 1-5 with all-weather fluid.
23) What finishes does the Corbin Russwin DC8220 come in to match the rest of my hardware?
Six: 600 primed for painting, 689 anodized aluminum, 690 dark bronze, 691 light bronze, 693 black, and 696 satin brass. All six are available with either the standard non-hold arm or the A1 hold open arm. The 600 primed option is the one to take if the closer has to be field painted to a specific building color.
24) I need the closer body hidden under a cover to match the rest of the building - how do the DC8220 finishes compare to covered alternatives?
The Corbin Russwin DC8220 is supplied in 689 anodized aluminum, 690 dark bronze, 691 light bronze, 693 black, 696 satin brass and 600 primed for painting, so the body can be matched or field painted to the opening. If you want a covered unit from another brand, the Dexter DCH1000 is a Grade 1 tri mount closer supplied with a full cover and the Design Hardware 316 Series is a medium to heavy duty closer furnished with a cover. By contrast the Arrow DCN325 is specified less cover.
