Dormakaba 8616 TDEH 689 RH – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a double egress door closer and do I need the DORMA 8616 TDEH for my cross-corridor doors?
Double egress openings are the pairs you see in hospital and institutional corridors where the two leaves swing in opposite directions, each one pull side from the corridor it faces. The DORMA 8616 in the TDEH configuration is built for exactly that: a slide track closer, pull side, frame face mounted, with hold open built into the track. If your pair swings both leaves the same direction, this is not the configuration you want.
2) Is the DORMA 8616 handed, and do I need to order left and right for a double egress pair?
The 8600 Series closer body itself is non-handed, but the TDEH double egress track is ordered by hand, left or right. A double egress pair needs one of each, so order an LH and an RH to do the full opening.
3) How heavy a door will the DORMA 8616 closer handle?
Rated for doors up to 180 lbs, with spring power adjustable across sizes 1 through 6, so one unit covers everything from a light interior leaf to a wide heavy corridor door. Duty level is heavy duty.
4) Does the DORMA 8616 meet ADA barrier-free opening force requirements?
Yes. The adjustable spring size 1-6 lets you dial opening force down to meet barrier-free accessibility requirements, and the closer is flagged ADA compliant. It is also ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certified.
5) What is the closest slide track door closer to the DORMA 8616 if I need a different brand for a double egress opening?
The Corbin Russwin DC5230 is the nearest peer for a track application: it is a Grade 1 surface door closer with a slide track arm as standard and pull side mounting, which matches the mounting approach of the DORMA 8616, a Grade 1 surface-mounted slide track closer with pull side, frame face mounting and adjustable size 1 to 6. The DC5230 is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. The 8616 carries the TDEH track double egress hold open function specifically, so if the opening is a double egress pair with a hold open requirement, specify that function when cross-referencing.
6) If I do not need a slide track, what heavy duty Grade 1 closer can I use instead of the DORMA 8616?
For a standard arm opening rather than a track application, the BEST HD8000 and BEST EHD9000 are both heavy duty Grade 1 surface mounted closers, with the EHD9000 offered with adjustable spring sizes 1-6. Sargent's 1431 Powerglide and 281 Powerglide are also heavy duty Grade 1 surface closers. The DORMA 8616 is heavy duty Grade 1 as well, but it is configured as a surface-mounted slide track with the TDEH double egress hold open function, so the arm geometry is not interchangeable with a regular or parallel arm closer.
7) I need hold open but on a single door with a regular arm - what should I order instead of the 8616?
Arm-style hold open closers include the Accentra 51 Series, which is a tri-packed hold open arm closer with size 1-6 adjustment, and the Orca Hardware BHDC1958HO/PA, a hold open closer with a parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both achieve hold open through the arm rather than through a track. The DORMA 8616 achieves hold open within its slide track under the TDEH function and mounts pull side to the frame face, so it is the choice when the opening calls for a track rather than a projecting arm.
8) Are tri-pack closers like the Arrow DCN325 or Norton 8501A a substitute for the DORMA 8616?
They are not a drop-in for a track opening. The Arrow DCN325 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a regular/parallel arm tri-pack and adjustable spring size 1-6, and the Norton Rixson 8501A is a Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer with adjustable size 1-6 spring - both give three arm-mounting choices but use a projecting arm. The DORMA 8616 is a surface-mounted slide track closer with a 48 inch track, pull side frame face mounted, so the frame prep and the hardware on the door are different. Match the spring range only if the arm style on the drawing is a track.
9) What fasteners come with the DORMA 8616 and what door thickness do they suit?
It ships with sex nuts sized for a 1-3/4 inch door, which is the standard commercial thickness. Through-bolting with sex nuts is what you want on a hollow metal or wood corridor door that sees constant traffic.
10) How long is the slide track on the DORMA 8616?
The track measures 48 inches, and the assembly is aluminum. Frame face mounting means you need a clear, flat 48 inch run on the frame face above the leaf before you lay out holes.
11) Can I get a full cover on the DORMA 8616 instead of the slim one?
Yes. The standard is a slim plastic cover, and you can specify a full plastic cover or a full metal cover instead. Full metal is the one to pick for schools, detention-adjacent areas, or anywhere covers get pulled off.
12) Will the DORMA 8616 hold up on a high-traffic hospital corridor?
It is tested to 10,000,000 cycles and carries a heavy duty rating with ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certification, which is the top grade for surface closers. That cycle count is the reason it turns up on institutional corridor and cross-corridor openings.
13) What is a good alternative if I need a heavy duty Grade 1 surface closer but not the double egress track?
For a standard arm application rather than double egress, the BEST HD8000 Series and BEST EHD9000 Series are both heavy duty Grade 1 surface closers, and the EHD9000 also adjusts across spring sizes 1-6. Falcon's SC71A is another heavy duty Grade 1 surface mount. If your opening specifically calls for a slide track on the pull side, the Corbin Russwin DC5230 Series is the slide track arm, pull side option we carry.
14) I want hold open but on a regular arm, not a track. What else should I look at?
The 8616 TDEH gets its hold open from the slide track. If you want hold open on a conventional arm instead, the Accentra 51 Series is a tri-packed hold open arm closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-6, and the Orca Hardware BHDC1958 hold open version uses a regular arm with a parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors. Neither is a double egress solution, so only swap if your pair does not swing opposite ways.
15) Can the DORMA 8616 go on wood and aluminum doors or only hollow metal?
The 8600 Series is built for hollow metal, aluminum, and wood doors across commercial construction. It is a commercial-rated closer, not a residential one, and the supplied sex nuts are sized for a 1-3/4 inch leaf.
16) What is a lighter duty alternative if the 8616 is more closer than my interior opening needs?
For lighter interior traffic, the BEST SL6000 is a Grade 1 light duty surface closer with adjustable spring sizes, the Falcon SC61A is a Grade 1 light to medium duty cast aluminum surface closer, and the BEST HD7000 is a Grade 1 medium duty closer with adjustable spring power and backcheck control. The DORMA 8616 is rated heavy duty with a 10,000,000 cycle endurance rating and handles doors to 180 pounds, so it is the specification where the opening sees high traffic or a heavy leaf.
17) Is a Grade 2 closer like the Cal-Royal 400 acceptable where the DORMA 8616 is specified?
The Cal-Royal 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic door closer, one ANSI/BHMA grade below the DORMA 8616, which is Grade 1 certified and rated heavy duty with 10,000,000 endurance cycles. If the drawing calls out Grade 1, stay with a Grade 1 peer such as the Cal-Royal 500S barrier free closer with adjustable back-check or the Cal-Royal N900PBF 900 Series barrier free Grade 1 hydraulic closer.
18) For an ADA barrier-free opening, what closers compare with the DORMA 8616?
The DORMA 8616 is ADA compliant with adjustable spring size 1 to 6 so opening force can be tuned down on an accessible opening. Comparable barrier-free options include the Cal-Royal 500S, a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check, the Calibre CA4001 with adjustable ADA spring tension, and the Imperial USA TC4300, a heavy duty size 1-6 ADA closer. The difference to weigh is arm style: the 8616 uses a slide track with double egress hold open, while those peers use conventional arms.
19) What heavy duty closer should I look at for an aluminum storefront instead of the DORMA 8616?
The Norton Rixson 1600 Series aluminum storefront closer is a heavy duty Grade 1 unit with tri-style mounting, and the LCN 1460T is a heavy duty Grade 1 commercial closer in a powder coat finish. The DORMA 8616 is also suited to aluminum doors along with hollow metal and wood, and ships with sex nuts for a 1-3/4 inch door, but its slide track and TDEH double egress hold open function make it the pick for double egress frames rather than a single storefront leaf.
20) What finishes does the DORMA 8616 double egress closer come in?
Three: 689 aluminum, 693 black, and 695 dark bronze. Each is offered in both left hand and right hand, so you can match the pair across a double egress opening in whichever finish the rest of the corridor hardware uses.
21) What does the backcheck adjustment on the 8600 Series actually do for me?
Backcheck slows the door near the end of its opening swing so wind or someone shoving it does not drive the leaf into an adjacent wall or the frame stop. On the 8600 Series the backcheck position is adjustable, which matters on parallel arm work where the ANSI backcheck range otherwise shifts compared with regular and top jamb mounting.
