Design Hardware DH-416-BZ – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Design Hardware 416 closer be mounted parallel arm on the push side, or does it have to go on the pull side?
All three mountings are covered in the box. The 416 ships tri-packed with the screws and brackets for regular arm (pull side), top jamb, and parallel arm (push side), so the same carton works whichever side of the opening you end up on. Check your top rail before you commit: regular arm needs 3-3/4 inches of top rail, top jamb needs 1-1/4 inches, and parallel arm needs 5-3/8 inches. A narrow-rail aluminum door is usually the one that rules parallel arm out.
2) Can I put a Design Hardware 416 closer on a 3 hour fire rated door?
Yes. The 416 is UL Listed for A label 3 hour fire doors and is UL10C positive pressure rated, which is what an inspector looks for on a rated opening. It is also ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 and meets the ADA opening force requirements of ANSI A117.1. One thing to keep in mind on a rated door: the standard 416 arm is non-hold-open, which is correct for a fire door, since a rated door must self close and latch.
3) Will the Design Hardware 416 line up with the holes from the closer I'm taking off?
The 416 uses a 2 hole 1 inch center-to-center pattern plus a 3 inch CTC horizontal by 2-1/4 inch CTC vertical pattern on the body. Compare that against the prep in your door or frame before you pull the old unit; if the existing holes do not fall on those centers you will either be drilling fresh holes or adding a drop plate to cover and re-support. Thru bolts, machine screws, wood screws and self tapping machine screws all come in the carton, so both hollow metal and wood doors are covered without a trip to the supply house.
4) What is a direct alternative to the Design Hardware 416 heavy duty door closer with the same tri-packed non-hold open arm?
The Design Hardware 416 is a heavy duty surface mounted closer with a tri-packed non-hold open arm, adjustable size 1 to 6. The closest match on function and adjustment range is the Accentra 2701, an architectural door closer with tri-pack mounting options and adjustable spring sizes 1 to 6, also supplied with a tri-packed non-hold open arm. The Imperial USA TC4300 is another heavy duty size 1 to 6 ADA closer. The Orca Hardware BHDC1958RA/PA also uses a tri-packed non-hold open arm and is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, supplied as a regular arm with a parallel bracket.
5) I need a delayed action closer rather than a standard closer like the Design Hardware 416 - what are my options?
The Design Hardware 416 is a heavy duty closer with independent latch and sweep speed controls and an adjustable back check, but no delayed action. Where an opening needs extra time before the door begins to close - a common request on healthcare and multi-family corridors - the Orca Hardware BHDC1958DA/PA and BHDC2011DA/PA are delayed action closers with a regular arm and parallel bracket, both listed for 1-3/4 inch doors and both using a tri-packed non-hold open arm.
6) Which heavy duty Grade 1 closers compare to the Design Hardware 416 for a high traffic entrance?
The Design Hardware 416 is a heavy duty closer meeting ANSI A156.4 Grade 1, with a cast iron body and precision rack and pinion construction. Other heavy duty Grade 1 surface closers in the same class include the BEST HD8000 Series, the BEST EHD9000 Series with adjustable spring sizes 1 to 6, the Falcon SC71A Series, the Sargent 1431 Powerglide with adjustable spring power, the Sargent 281 Powerglide with a cast iron body, and the LCN 1460T in a powder coat finish. Any of these will carry a high traffic entrance; the choice usually comes down to arm style and mounting.
7) What closer should I use instead of the Design Hardware 416 when there is no room for a projecting arm?
The Design Hardware 416 mounts with a tri-packed non-hold open arm and sits at a 2-1/4 inch projection with the cover installed. Where the opening cannot take a projecting arm assembly, a track closer is the alternative: the Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a slide track arm as standard, pull side mounting, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dorma 8916-JT is a heavy duty Grade 1 jamb track closer with frame face mounting on the pull side, adjustable size 1 to 6.
8) Is a Grade 2 closer like the Cal-Royal 400 an equivalent to the Design Hardware 416?
No. The Design Hardware 416 meets ANSI A156.4 Grade 1 and is UL listed, which is what most institutional and fire door specifications call for. The Cal-Royal 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic closer, and the Falcon SC91A is a Grade 3 light duty cast aluminum closer. If a Cal-Royal closer is wanted at Grade 1, the 500S barrier free closer with adjustable back-check and the 700S dual valve sized closer with adjustable tube arm are both Grade 1.
9) What are the ADA barrier free alternatives to the Design Hardware 416 door closer?
The Design Hardware 416 meets ADA requirements under ANSI A117.1 with adjustable spring power and independent latch and sweep speed controls to tune the opening force. Other ADA closers in the same Grade 1 class include the Calibre CA9901 tri-pack arm size 2 to 5 ADA surface mount closer, the Calibre CA4001 with adjustable spring tension, the Calibre CA8001P parallel arm size 1 ADA closer, the Cal-Royal N900PBF barrier free Grade 1 hydraulic surface closer, and the Imperial USA TC4300 heavy duty size 1 to 6 ADA closer.
10) Does the Design Hardware 416 door closer hold the door open?
No. The 416 as supplied is a non-hold-open closer with a tri-packed regular arm, so the door closes every time it is released. If you need the door to stand open, that is a separate hold open arm, which Design Hardware lists as an accessory for the 416 along with heavy duty arms, extended arms and drop plates. If you would rather buy a closer that is hold open out of the box, the Accentra 51 Series and the Orca BHDC1958HO are both tri-packed hold open closers.
11) How much clearance does the Design Hardware 416 closer stick out from the door?
Projection is 2-1/4 inches with the cover installed. That matters where the closer sits near a wall return, a sidelite mullion, or in a corridor where a projecting body would be an obstruction. The molded plastic cover is included in the box; a US26D metal cover is sold separately if you want the brushed metal look in a public lobby.
12) The door slams at the last few inches. Can I adjust just the latch speed on a 416 closer?
Yes, latch and sweep are on independent valves on the 416, so you can slow the last few inches of travel without changing how the door moves through the main sweep. There is also an adjustable back check intensity valve to stop the door being thrown into the wall on a windy exterior opening. All the valves are staked so they cannot be backed all the way out and dump fluid, which is the usual way a closer gets ruined by an over-eager adjustment.
13) What is a good heavy duty alternative to the Design Hardware 416 closer if I need to match another brand in the building?
For a like-for-like heavy duty Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring sizes 1 to 6, the closest peers are the BEST EHD9000 Series, the BEST HD8000 Series, the Falcon SC71A, the Sargent 1431 Powerglide, the LCN 1460T and the Imperial USA TC4300. The Sargent 281 is another heavy duty Grade 1 cast iron body if you are matching Sargent elsewhere in the facility. Where the spec only calls for a medium duty closer, the Norton Rixson 8501A is a Grade 1 tri-mount with the same size 1 to 6 spring range.
14) Do I need to order a drop plate with the Design Hardware 416 closer?
Not usually. The 416 ships tri-packed with the brackets and fasteners for all three mountings, so a standard opening with enough top rail needs nothing extra. You need a drop plate when the top rail is short of the minimum, 3-3/4 inches for regular arm, 1-1/4 inches for top jamb, 5-3/8 inches for parallel arm, or when you are covering the prep from an old closer that does not line up. Drop plates, extended arms and heavy duty arms are all listed accessories for the 416 and are ordered separately.
15) Do I have to buy the Design Hardware 416 with the cover, or is there a less-cover option?
The Design Hardware 416 includes a molded plastic cover as standard, with a US26D metal cover offered separately. If the job calls for a closer supplied less cover, the Arrow DCN314 and Arrow DCN325 are Grade 1 surface closers furnished less cover with regular and parallel arm tri-pack, the DCN314 adjustable size 1 to 4 and the DCN325 adjustable size 1 to 6. The Dexter DCH1000 goes the other way, a Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer supplied with a full cover.
16) Which other door closers offer the same three mounting options as the Design Hardware 416?
The Design Hardware 416 ships with all screws and brackets for regular, top jamb and parallel arm installation, on the push or pull side. Other closers supplied for all three mountings include the Dexter DCH4000, DCL2000 and DCM1000 Series, all Grade 1 tri-mount surface closers for regular, parallel or top jamb mounting, the Norton Rixson 1601P Grade 1 tri-mount closer with 180 degree swing, and the Norton Rixson 1600 Series aluminum storefront closer with tri-style mounting. The 416 is also rated for a 180 degree opening.
17) What is a Grade 1 alternative to the Design Hardware 416 if I only need spring size 1 to 4?
The Design Hardware 416 adjusts across the full size 1 to 6 range and is factory set at size 3. Where the openings are narrower and only the lower range is needed, the Accentra 1101BF is an industrial closer with adjustable spring sizes 1 to 4 and tri-pack mounting, supplied with a tri-packed non-hold open arm; the Dormakaba 7414 is a Grade 1 medium duty closer in size 1 to 4; and the Arrow DCN314 is a Grade 1 surface closer, tri-pack, adjustable spring size 1 to 4.
18) Is the Arrow DCN500DP drop plate a substitute for the Design Hardware 416 closer?
No. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate for the DCN500 - a mounting accessory, not a closer. The Design Hardware 416 is the closer itself, a heavy duty cast iron surface mounted unit that arrives with its own thru bolts, machine screws, wood screws, self tapping machine screws and the brackets for all three mounting styles; drop plates are offered separately within the 416 accessory range. Likewise the Stanley Security 327 and 341 are wardrobe pivots, hanging hardware rather than closing devices.
19) I am standardizing a building on one closer - how does the Design Hardware 416 line up against the Corbin Russwin DC series?
The Design Hardware 416 is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer with a tri-packed non-hold open arm, adjustable size 1 to 6, offered in 689 aluminum painted and 690 dark bronze painted. The Corbin Russwin range spans several Grade 1 surface closers for 1-3/4 inch doors: the DC3200 with a regular arm, and the DC6200 and DC8200 with a double lever regular arm and pull side mounting. The 416 covers regular, top jamb and parallel arm from one carton, which is what usually decides a standardization across mixed openings.
20) Is a cast aluminum door closer the same as the Design Hardware 416?
Not in body material. The Design Hardware 416 uses a heavy duty cast iron closer body with precision rack and pinion construction and a heat treated steel piston and spindle running on needle bearings. Cast aluminum bodied closers include the Falcon SC81A medium duty and SC61A light to medium duty units, the LCN 1450 medium duty closer with spring sizes 1 to 6, and the Sargent 1331 Grade 1 medium duty closer with a universal aluminum body. Among the peers, the Sargent 281 Powerglide is the cast iron heavy duty counterpart.
21) What finishes does the Design Hardware 416 heavy duty closer come in?
Two: 689 aluminum painted and 690 dark bronze painted. If you are standardizing a building, 689 is the one that blends with clear anodized aluminum storefront and most painted hollow metal, and 690 matches dark bronze anodized frames. The included cover is molded plastic in the matching finish; the optional metal cover is US26D satin chrome, which will not match either painted body exactly.
22) Is the Design Hardware 416 closer rated for residential use or commercial only?
Commercial. The 416 is built as a commercial door control, cast iron body, heat treated steel piston and spindle running on needle bearings, ANSI A156.4 Grade 1. It will work on a heavy residential door, but the spring range and the Grade 1 cycle rating are aimed at multifamily common areas, offices and institutional buildings rather than a house.
