Deltana DC10-ALUM – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Deltana DC10 door closer handle a heavy commercial entry door?
The DC10 is rated to a maximum door weight of 180 lb. Spring power adjusts from size #1 through #4, so you set the force on the door rather than ordering a fixed size. That covers interior offices and moderate entry doors, but a large heavy exterior door usually needs size 5 or 6. For that, look at closers with a wider spring range like the Norton Rixson 8501A or the BEST EHD9000 Series, both adjustable size 1-6.
2) Can the Deltana DC10 be parallel arm mounted on the push side of the door?
Yes. Parallel, regular and top jamb arms all ship in the box, so one part number covers push side parallel mounting, pull side regular mounting, and top jamb on the frame face. No separate bracket order and no need to know the mounting style before you buy. All the mounting hardware comes with it.
3) Is the Deltana DC10 door closer fire rated for a labeled door?
UL 10C fire rated, and UL and cUL Listed. That means it can go on a labeled fire door assembly where a self-closing device is required. Note it is a non-hold-open closer, which is what a fire door needs unless the opening has a listed hold-open tied to the alarm.
4) How much room do I need above the door for a Deltana DC10 closer?
The closer body measures 2-15/16 inches high with a 2-3/4 inch projection off the door face and a body length of 9-11/16 inches. Mounting holes are on 9-1/16 inch horizontal centers and 3/4 inch vertical centers. If you are reusing existing prep, match those hole centers before you drill anything new.
5) What is a straight equivalent to the Deltana DC10 door closer if I need an ANSI Grade 1 closer on the same opening?
The Deltana DC10 is a surface mounted closer with adjustable spring power size #1 to 4 and a 180 lb maximum door weight, and it is UL and CUL Listed with a UL 10C fire rating. If your spec calls out a Grade 1 closer by name, the Arrow DCN314 is a Grade 1 surface closer with regular/parallel arm tri-pack mounting and adjustable spring size 1 to 4, matching the DC10 on adjustable range and on the tri-pack arm approach. The Falcon SC91A is also a light duty surface-mount cast aluminum closer, but it is Grade 3, so it will not satisfy a Grade 1 call-out. Dexter DCH4000 is another Grade 1 surface closer with tri mount, regular, parallel or top jamb mounting.
6) The door is heavier than 180 lb - what surface closer should I use instead of the Deltana DC10?
The DC10 tops out at a 180 lb maximum door weight with spring power size #1 to 4, so a wide or heavy exterior leaf needing more spring power should move to a heavy duty closer with a taller size range. The BEST EHD9000 Series is an extra heavy duty Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring sizes 1 to 6. The Sargent 1431 Powerglide is a heavy duty Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring power, and the LCN 1460T is a heavy duty Grade 1 surface-mounted closer. Arrow's DCN325 covers adjustable spring size 1 to 6 in a regular/parallel arm tri-pack.
7) I need the door to stay open on its own - does the Deltana DC10 do that, or do I need a different closer?
The DC10 ships with parallel, regular and top jamb arms and an adjustable spring and backcheck, but hold open is a separate arm function you order as such. For a hold open arm, the Accentra 51 Series is a tri-packed hold open arm closer with adjustable size 1 to 6, and the Orca Hardware BHDC1958HO/PA is a hold open closer with a parallel bracket. The Stanley Security A45-501HL is a long hold open arm, top jamb mounted. If you want the door to pause before closing rather than stand open, the Orca BHDC1958DA/PA is a delayed action closer with a regular arm and parallel bracket.
8) My opening has to meet ADA opening force - what closer should I look at alongside the Deltana DC10?
The DC10 has an adjustable spring and backcheck across spring power size #1 to 4, so the closing force can be dialed down on the door. Closers built and labeled for barrier free or ADA duty include the Cal-Royal 500S, a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check, the Cal-Royal N900PBF in the 900 Series, a barrier free Grade 1 hydraulic surface closer, and the Calibre CA4001, a Grade 1 hydraulic closer with adjustable spring tension for ADA. The Calibre CA9901 is a Grade 1 tri-pack arm closer in size 2 to 5 for ADA surface mount work, and the Imperial USA TC4300 is a Grade 1 heavy duty ADA closer in size 1 to 6.
9) Will a DC10 closer let the door swing all the way open to 180 degrees?
Maximum door opening is 180 degrees, and the adjustable backcheck slows the door near the end of the swing so it doesn't slam into an adjacent wall or the arm. Actual swing on your opening still depends on what is in the way, wall returns, adjacent hardware, and the mounting style you choose.
10) Does the Deltana DC10 hold the door open, or does it always close?
The DC10 closes the door every time, with adjustable spring power and backcheck but no hold-open function. If you need the door to stand open for loading or airflow, look at a hold-open arm closer instead, such as the Accentra 51 Series or the Orca BHDC1958HO, both of which carry a hold-open arm.
11) Can I standardize one door closer across a whole building with the Deltana DC10?
Adjustable spring power from #1 to #4 lets one part number cover a range of door widths and weights up to 180 lb, so a property manager can stock a single closer for interior and moderate entry doors and tune each one at install. The tri-pack arm set means the same unit handles regular, parallel, and top jamb openings. The exceptions are doors over 180 lb and any opening that needs a size 5 or 6 spring.
12) Do I need to order a drop plate or brackets separately with the DC10 closer?
No extra hardware order for standard mounting. All necessary mounting hardware ships with the closer along with the three arm types. Drop plates are only a factor when the frame face or door top rail is too shallow for the closer footprint, so check your header against the 9-1/16 inch horizontal hole spacing and 2-15/16 inch body height before install.
13) The arm is getting kicked in a corridor - what closer has a concealed or protected arm instead of the Deltana DC10 exposed arm?
The DC10 uses a forged steel arm on a die-cast aluminum body, with parallel, regular and top jamb arms in the box, so the arm stands proud of the door in every mounting. Where an exposed scissor arm is the problem, a track arm keeps the linkage tight to the frame: the Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a slide track arm standard, pull side mounting, and the Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 jamb track closer, frame face mounting, pull side, adjustable size 1 to 6. A flat arm is the other route - the Dormakaba 8616 AF86P FC SNB1 689 is a Grade 1 closer with a flat non-hold open arm in a tri-pack.
14) I am standardizing a building on one closer - is the Deltana DC10 the right choice for every door or do I need a second model?
The DC10 covers spring power size #1 to 4 up to a 180 lb door, in a die-cast aluminum body with forged steel arm, and it carries UL and CUL listing with a UL 10C fire rating, so interior and fire rated openings inside that weight band standardize on one part with four finishes: Aluminum, Duro, Gold and White. Doors above that band want a second model in the same duty step up - the BEST HD8000 Series is a heavy duty Grade 1 surface closer, and the Sargent 1131 is a medium duty Grade 1 closer for medium-traffic commercial applications. The Falcon SC81A is a medium duty Grade 1 cast aluminum surface-mount closer in the same vein.
15) What looks like a substitute for the Deltana DC10 but will not work on the opening?
The DC10 is a surface mounted door closer that mounts to the door or frame face with parallel, regular or top jamb arms. Two things sit near it that do not replace it. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate for the DCN500 - a mounting bracket, not a closer, and it will not control a door on its own. The Stanley Security 327 is a heavy wardrobe pivot for doors 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch up to 150 lbs, which hangs and swings a door rather than closing it. If you want a closer with the same tri-mount flexibility, the Norton Rixson 1601P is a Grade 1 surface closer with a tri-mount design and 180 degree swing, matching the DC10 maximum door opening of 180 degrees.
16) The Deltana DC10 body is aluminum - what should I use if I want a cast iron closer body?
The DC10 is built with a die-cast aluminum body and forged steel arm. If the spec or the traffic calls for cast iron instead, the LCN 1261 is a surface-mounted closer with cast iron construction and adjustable spring sizes 1 to 5, and the Sargent 281 Powerglide is a cast iron surface closer with heavy-duty construction, Grade 1. Staying in aluminum, the Sargent 1331 is a Grade 1 medium duty closer with a universal aluminum body and the LCN 1450 is a medium duty closer with cast aluminum construction in spring sizes 1 to 6.
17) What closer works on an aluminum storefront door if the Deltana DC10 does not fit the narrow stile?
The DC10 has a closer body length of 9-11/16 inches, a height of 2-15/16 inches and a projection of 2-3/4 inches, with horizontal mounting holes at 9-1/16 inches - dimensions worth checking against a narrow top rail before ordering. For storefront work specifically, the Norton Rixson 1600 Series in the 1600BC configuration is a heavy duty Grade 1 aluminum storefront door closer with tri-style mounting. The Norton Rixson 8501A is a Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer with adjustable size 1 to 6 spring if you need more spring range on the same tri-mount pattern.
18) Which closers besides the Deltana DC10 ship with all three mounting arms in one box?
The DC10 includes parallel, regular and top jamb arms and all necessary mounting hardware, so one part number covers whichever way the opening has to be attacked. Others built the same tri-pack way: the Accentra 1101BF is a tri-packed non-hold open arm closer with adjustable spring sizes 1 to 4, the Accentra 2701 is a tri-packed non-hold open architectural closer in sizes 1 to 6, and the Design Hardware 116 Series is a heavy duty closer with a tri-packed non-hold open arm. The Dexter DCL2000 is a Grade 1 surface closer with tri mount for regular, parallel or top jamb mounting.
19) What finishes does the Deltana DC10 door closer come in?
Four finishes: Aluminum, Duro (a dark bronze tone), Gold, and White. Aluminum and White are the ones that usually blend into storefront and painted hollow metal frames; Duro and Gold suit bronze or brass door hardware already on the building. All four are the same closer, so mixed openings in one building can be matched visually without changing the spec.
20) Is the Deltana DC10 a metal closer or plastic housing?
The body is die-cast aluminum and the arm is forged steel. That is a metal-bodied hydraulic closer, not a light residential unit with a molded housing, and it is specified for commercial use.
21) Is there a simpler closer than the Deltana DC10 if I do not need the cover or the extra arms?
The DC10 comes with parallel, regular and top jamb arms and all necessary mounting hardware in the box. Where you only need a single mounting and no cover, the Arrow DCN314 is a Grade 1 surface closer supplied less cover with a regular/parallel arm tri-pack in adjustable spring size 1 to 4, and the Calibre CA5501 is a Grade 1 standard arm surface mount closer. The Calibre CA8001P is a parallel arm size 1 ADA surface mount closer for a single fixed mounting, and the Corbin Russwin DC3200 is a Grade 1 regular arm surface mounted closer for 1-3/4 inch doors.
22) How does the Deltana DC10 compare to the Dormakaba 7414 for a medium traffic office door?
Both are surface mounted closers covering an adjustable size range through 4: the DC10 is spring power size #1 to 4 on a die-cast aluminum body with a 180 lb maximum door weight, and the Dormakaba 7414 is a Grade 1 medium duty closer in size 1 to 4 from the 7400 Series. The Dormakaba 7303 is the same maker's Grade 1 medium duty 7300 Series closer in a painted finish. The DC10 is offered in Aluminum, Duro, Gold and White and includes parallel, regular and top jamb arms with the mounting hardware.
23) I need a closer with a cover for a finished lobby - does the Deltana DC10 have one and what else does?
The DC10 is a die-cast aluminum body closer offered in Aluminum, Duro, Gold and White, so the finish itself does a lot of the work in a visible location. Where a full cover is wanted, the Dexter DCH1000 is a Grade 1 surface closer with tri mount and a full cover, and the Design Hardware 316 Series is a medium to heavy duty closer supplied with a cover and a tri-packed non-hold open arm. The Accentra 1900 Series is a traditional surface mounted closer if the look needs to read less industrial.
