Deltana DC90 Door Closer

The DC90 is rated to a maximum load of 330 lbs and its spring power adjusts across sizes #1 through #6, so it covers everything from a light interior door up to a wide, heavy exterior opening. Size #1 is the low-power setting for narrow interior doors; #6 is the top setting for the widest, heaviest doors. Because one closer covers the whole range, a property manager standardizing across a building can buy a single model and dial each door in on site rather than stocking six different power sizes.

Handing is not a concern here. The DC90 is universal, so the same closer goes on a left hand or right hand door. For a contractor doing a run of openings or a property manager replacing closers across a floor, that means one part number covers every door regardless of swing, with no left/right count to get wrong on the order.

The DC90 carries UL and cUL listing. That is the listing an inspector looks for on a closer used on a labeled opening, alongside the door and frame labels themselves. The closer is classed as a commercial product, so it is built for institutional and MRO use rather than residential-only duty.

Hold open is not part of the DC90 specification. If the opening needs a mechanical hold open arm, look at the Accentra 51 Series, which is a tri-packed hold open arm closer with adjustable size 1-6, or the Orca Hardware BHDC1958HO/PA, a hold open closer with a parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both cover the same commercial duty range as the DC90 while adding the hold open function.

The DC90 is a UL and cUL listed adjustable commercial closer rated to 330 lbs across spring sizes 1-6. Where a project spec calls out an ANSI/BHMA grade by name, the peers that carry a stated Grade 1 rating are the ones to quote: the Falcon SC71A Series is heavy duty Grade 1, the BEST HD8000 Series is heavy duty Grade 1, and the BEST EHD9000 Series is extra heavy duty Grade 1 with sizes 1-6. If your drawing does not name a grade, the DC90 covers the same size range at a lower spec burden.

No sizing decision at the order form. The DC90 is a single adjustable unit covering spring power sizes #1 through #6, so you order by finish only and set the power on the door. That is the difference from a fixed-size closer, where getting the size wrong means a return. Compare it to something like the Arrow DCN314, which is limited to spring sizes 1-4.

The Deltana DC90 is a surface mounted closer with an adjustable spring power size #1 to 6 and a die-cast aluminum body with a stamped steel arm. For the same adjustable 1 to 6 range from another brand, the Arrow DCN325 is a Grade 1 surface closer with regular and parallel arm tri-pack and adjustable spring size 1 to 6, the BEST EHD9000 Series is an extra heavy-duty surface closer with adjustable spring sizes 1 to 6, and the Norton Rixson 8501A is a Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer with an adjustable size 1 to 6 spring. All three cover the same span of door widths and weights from a single body, so one part number can be specified across a mixed set of openings the way the DC90 is.

The Deltana DC90 is rated for a maximum load of 330 lbs and is designated for commercial use. When an opening calls for a closer specified as heavy duty, the Sargent 1431 Powerglide is a heavy-duty surface closer with adjustable spring power, the Falcon SC71A is a heavy-duty surface-mount closer at Grade 1, the LCN 1460T is a heavy-duty surface-mounted closer in a powder coat finish at Grade 1 commercial, and the BEST HD8000 Series is a heavy duty surface mounted closer with Grade 1 certification. Those four carry a stated heavy duty level, which is the term a facility spec usually writes for main entrances and stairwells.

The Deltana DC90 is a UL and CUL listed surface mounted closer. When a drawing or a facility standard names ANSI Grade 1 explicitly, closers published at Grade 1 include the Corbin Russwin DC8200 Series double lever regular arm pull side closer, the Dexter DCH1000 Series tri-mount closer with full cover, the Cal-Royal 700S dual valve sized closer with adjustable tube arm, the Norton Rixson 1601P tri-mount closer with 180 degree swing, and the Sargent 1131. Institutional and government submittals that require the grade in writing should be built around one of those.

The Deltana DC90 is described as a fully adjustable universal-handing surface closer; hold open is a separate arm function. Closers published with a hold open arm include the Accentra 51 Series with a tri-packed hold open arm in sizes 1 to 6, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958HO/PA with a tri-packed hold open arm and parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Stanley Security A45-501HL with a long hold open arm standard for top jamb mounting. On a loading dock or a receiving door where staff need the leaf parked open, specify one of those rather than a non-hold-open arm.

The Deltana DC90 is a fully adjustable surface closer with adjustable spring power size #1 to 6; delayed action is a distinct hydraulic function carried by specific models. 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 Orca Hardware BHDC2011DA/PA is a delayed action closer with the same regular arm and parallel bracket arrangement for 1-3/4 inch doors. Specify a delayed action model where a resident or a loaded cart needs extra seconds in the opening before the door starts to close.

The Deltana DC90 is adjustable across spring power size #1 to 6, so it can be set down to a low spring setting on an accessible opening. Models published specifically as barrier free or ADA include the Cal-Royal 500S with adjustable back-check at Grade 1, the Cal-Royal N900PBF barrier free Grade 1 hydraulic surface closer, the Calibre CA4001 adjustable spring tension ADA hydraulic closer at Grade 1, the Calibre CA8001P parallel arm size 1 ADA surface mount closer, and the Imperial USA TC4300 Grade 1 heavy duty size 1 to 6 ADA closer. Where an accessibility submittal has to name the product, one of those carries the language on its face.

The Deltana DC90 is a surface mounted commercial closer with a die-cast aluminum body. For a glass front or aluminum storefront leaf, the Norton Rixson 1600 Series aluminum storefront door closer is built for that opening with tri-style mounting at Grade 1 heavy duty, and the Corbin Russwin DC3200 is a Grade 1 regular arm surface closer for 1-3/4 inch doors. Storefront stiles are narrow, so a closer offered with tri-style mounting gives the installer a route when the top rail will not take a standard regular arm.

Die-cast aluminum body with a stamped steel arm. Aluminum will not rust the way a painted cast iron body does once the coating chips, which is why it is a common choice on exterior and high-humidity openings. If you want a cast iron body instead, the LCN 1261 is the cast iron option, and the Sargent 281 Powerglide is another cast iron heavy duty closer.

One model covers both. Spring power adjusts from size #1 to #6, and size #1 is the setting for a light interior door while the upper sizes drive an exterior entry. It is specified as a commercial closer, and it is also used on residential openings. Standardizing on one closer across a building keeps the maintenance stock down to a single part.

Delayed action is not a stated function of the DC90. For an opening that needs the door to hang open longer so a person with a walker or a cart can clear it, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958DA/PA and BHDC2011DA/PA are delayed action closers with a regular arm and parallel bracket, both for 1-3/4 inch doors. Cal-Royal's 500S is a barrier free closer with adjustable back-check if the priority is protecting the door from being thrown open.

Tri-pack closers ship with the brackets to mount regular arm, parallel arm, or top jamb out of one box, which matters when you do not know the frame condition until you are on site. The DC90 is a surface mounted closer with a stamped steel arm. If you need the mounting flexibility packed in, the Arrow DCN325 is a tri-pack with spring sizes 1-6, the Norton Rixson 8501A is a Grade 1 tri-mount with adjustable size 1-6, and the Accentra 2701 Series is a tri-packed non-hold open arm closer sized 1-6.

The Deltana DC90 is a commercial closer adjustable across spring power size #1 to 6, which is more range than a light interior leaf needs. Where the opening only calls for a light duty closer, the BEST SL6000 Series is a Grade 1 light duty surface closer with adjustable spring sizes, the LCN 1250 Series is a light duty closer in sizes 1 to 5 with all-weather fluid and ADA compliance, the Arrow DCN314 is a light duty Grade 1 surface closer with tri-pack regular and parallel arm in adjustable size 1 to 4, and the Falcon SC91A is a light duty cast aluminum closer at Grade 3. Those cover interior offices and closet doors with a narrower spring range.

The Deltana DC90 uses a die-cast aluminum body with a stamped steel arm, with aluminum as the substrate. Cast iron bodied closers are a different construction: the Sargent 281 Powerglide is a cast iron surface closer with heavy-duty construction, and the LCN 1261 is a surface closer with cast iron construction and adjustable spring sizes 1 to 5. Aluminum bodies keep weight down on the leaf, while cast iron is what many institutional standards call out for abuse-prone openings, so the choice usually follows the facility standard rather than the door itself.

The Deltana DC90 is a surface mounted closer with a stamped steel arm. Where an aesthetic or a narrow-frame condition rules out a projecting arm, the Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a slide track arm standard for pull side mounting, the Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty jamb track closer with a flat non-hold open arm mounted to the frame face on the pull side in adjustable size 1 to 6, and the Dormakaba 8616 AF86P FC SNB1 689 is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer with a flat arm non-hold open tri-pack. Track and flat arm hardware sits tighter to the door and frame than a standard projecting arm.

The Deltana DC90 is a universal-handing surface mounted closer, so one part covers left and right hand doors. If the mounting position also varies across the openings, tri-mount and tri-pack closers ship for regular, parallel, or top jamb mounting: the Dexter DCH4000 Series and DCM1000 Series are Grade 1 tri-mount surface closers, the Norton Rixson 1601P is a Grade 1 tri-mount closer with 180 degree swing, and the Calibre CA9901 is a Grade 1 tri-pack arm closer in size 2 to 5 for ADA surface mounting. A property manager standardizing one SKU across a building often wants both universal handing and tri-mount in the same part.

No. The Deltana DC90 is a surface mounted hydraulic door closer rated to a 330 lb maximum load that controls the swing and closes the door. The Stanley Security 327 is a heavy wardrobe pivot for doors 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch up to 150 lbs, and the Stanley Security 341 is a wardrobe pivot for flush recessed or overlay doors 1-1/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch. Pivots hang and swing a door; they provide no closing force, so they do not replace a closer on an opening that has to latch itself.

The Deltana DC90 is a commercial surface mounted closer adjustable from spring power size #1 through 6. Where an opening is specified medium duty rather than heavy, the BEST HD7000 Series is a Grade 1 medium duty surface closer with adjustable spring power and backcheck control, the Falcon SC81A is a medium duty cast aluminum surface closer at Grade 1, the Sargent 1331 is a Grade 1 medium duty closer with a universal aluminum body, and the Dormakaba 7414 is a medium duty Grade 1 closer in size 1 to 4. The Sargent 1331 in particular shares the universal aluminum body approach with the DC90.

Four finishes: Aluminum, Duro, Gold, and White. Duro is the dark bronze-toned option and White suits painted frames and interior openings in multi-family or hospitality work. All four are the same closer mechanically, so the finish choice is purely about matching the other hardware on the opening.

The Deltana DC90 is offered in aluminum, duro, gold, and white. When a job needs a different finish route, the Dormakaba 7303 Series is a medium duty Grade 1 surface closer supplied in a painted finish, and the LCN 1460T is a heavy duty Grade 1 closer in a powder coat finish. Powder coat and painted bodies are the usual path when the closer has to match a frame color rather than a plated hardware set.
