Dormakaba 8616 TDE 689 RH – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a double egress track closer like the DORMA 8616 TDE used for?
Double egress pairs swing in opposite directions, so each leaf needs a closer mounted on its own pull side with a track that works with that swing. The DORMA 8616 TDE is the 8600 Series slide track closer built for exactly that condition, transom mounted on the pull side. On a standard single-swing opening you would use a regular arm, top jamb, or parallel arm closer instead; the TDE track configuration only makes sense on a double egress frame.
2) Do I need to order a left hand and a right hand DORMA 8616 for a double egress pair?
Yes. Although the 8600 Series closer body itself is non-handed, the 8616 TDE slide track application is ordered LH or RH, and a double egress pair has one leaf swinging each way. Order one left hand and one right hand unit to cover both leaves, in the same finish.
3) How heavy a door will the DORMA 8616 close, and do I have to order a specific spring size?
One size covers the range: spring power is field adjustable from size 1 through 6, rated for doors up to 180 lbs. You set the power on site to suit the door width and weight, so there is no size to specify at order time. The size 1 setting is what gets you down to the low opening force a barrier-free opening needs.
4) Will the DORMA 8616 meet ADA opening force requirements on an accessible entry?
The 8600 Series is ADA compliant and meets barrier-free accessibility requirements, using the adjustable spring size 1-6 range to dial opening force down. It is also ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certified with an adjustable backcheck to control a door being thrown open.
5) Is the DORMA 8616 the same as a standard slide track closer like the Corbin Russwin DC5230?
Both are Grade 1 surface closers with a slide track arm on the pull side, but they are not interchangeable applications. The Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a standard slide track pull side closer for a conventional single-swing opening. The 8616 TDE is configured for a double egress frame, where the two leaves swing opposite ways. If your opening is not double egress, the standard track model is the right one.
6) If the opening does not need a slide track, what heavy duty closer can be used instead of the DORMA 8616?
For a conventional arm opening, the BEST EHD9000 Series is an extra heavy-duty Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring sizes 1 to 6, and the Sargent 1431 Powerglide is a heavy-duty Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring power. Both are arm-mounted rather than track closers, so they do not deliver the DORMA 8616's TDE double egress track behavior; choose them only where a swinging arm is acceptable on the opening.
7) What is the closest slide track equivalent to the DORMA 8616 double egress closer from another manufacturer?
The Corbin Russwin DC5230 is the nearest match in a competing line: it is a Grade 1 surface door closer supplied with a slide track arm as standard and mounted on the pull side, the same mounting side as the DORMA 8616. The DORMA 8616 is the 8600 Series track closer with the TDE double egress function, non-handed body, adjustable spring size 1 to 6, and Grade 1 certification. Confirm the DC5230 is ordered in the double egress track configuration for your opening, since the DORMA 8616 is the one specifically built around that function.
8) Are tri-pack closers like the Arrow DCN325 a substitute for the DORMA 8616?
They cover a different mounting approach. The Arrow DCN325 is a Grade 1 surface closer shipped as a regular/parallel arm tri-pack with adjustable spring size 1 to 6, and the Norton Rixson 8501A is a Grade 1 tri-mount closer with adjustable size 1 to 6 spring. Both use a projecting arm; the DORMA 8616 is a surface-mounted slide track unit transom mounted on the pull side for TDE double egress service, so the tri-pack units will not reproduce that track arrangement even though the spring range matches.
9) What door thickness do the fasteners supplied with the DORMA 8616 suit?
It ships with sex nuts sized for a 1-3/4 inch door, which is the standard commercial leaf thickness. If your doors are thinner or you are going into a hollow metal frame with different prep, plan the through-bolt hardware accordingly.
10) Can the DORMA 8616 go on wood and aluminum doors, or only hollow metal?
The 8600 Series is intended for hollow metal, aluminum, and wood doors used in commercial construction. It is a commercial, heavy duty closer, tested to 10,000,000 cycles, so it suits high traffic corridors and cross-corridor double egress pairs in healthcare and institutional buildings.
11) What cover options and finishes are available on the DORMA 8616 slide track closer?
Three finishes: 689 aluminum, 693 black, and 695 dark bronze, each available left hand or right hand. Cover is a separate choice at order time: the standard slim plastic cover, a full plastic cover, or a full metal cover. Pick the full metal cover where the closer is reachable and abuse is a concern.
12) How long is the track on the DORMA 8616, and where does it mount?
The track measures 48 inches and mounts to the transom on the pull side of the door. Confirm you have a continuous flat 48 inch transom face above the leaf before you commit, since a narrow or interrupted transom bar will not take the full track.
13) Is a hold open arm closer such as the Orca BHDC1958HO an alternative to the DORMA 8616?
The Orca Hardware BHDC1958HO is a hold open door closer with a parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Accentra 51 Series is a hold open closer with tri-packed mount options in size 1 to 6. Those give arm-mounted hold open on a standard swinging leaf. The DORMA 8616 is a slide track closer with the TDE double egress function, and its sex nut fasteners are supplied for 1-3/4 inch doors, so verify the door and frame condition before treating the hold open arm units as interchangeable.
14) What is a lighter duty alternative to the DORMA 8616 for a low traffic interior door?
The BEST SL6000 Series is a Grade 1 light duty surface closer with adjustable spring sizes, and the Falcon SC61A is a Grade 1 light to medium duty cast aluminum surface closer. The DORMA 8616 is rated heavy duty at 10,000,000 endurance cycles, so on a high-traffic or double egress opening the lighter units are a different service class.
15) Which alternatives to the DORMA 8616 also meet barrier-free ADA requirements?
The Cal-Royal 500S is a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check, the Cal-Royal N900PBF is a Grade 1 barrier free hydraulic surface closer, and the Imperial USA TC4300 is a Grade 1 heavy duty size 1-6 ADA closer. The DORMA 8616 is listed ADA compliant and uses its adjustable spring size 1 to 6 with adjustable backcheck to meet barrier-free requirements.
16) Can I standardize a building on one closer if some doors use the DORMA 8616 track and others use arms?
A common approach is to keep the DORMA 8616 on the double egress track openings and use a Grade 1 arm closer with a matching size 1 to 6 spring elsewhere, such as the BEST HD8000 Series heavy duty Grade 1 closer or the Sargent 1431 Powerglide heavy-duty Grade 1 closer. That keeps grade and duty class consistent across the building even though the mounting hardware differs by opening.
