Dormakaba 8916 FHP 695 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to order a left hand or right hand version of the Dorma 8916 closer?
No handing to specify. The 8916 is non-handed, and it ships tri-pack, meaning the same closer covers regular arm (pull side), top jamb, and parallel arm (push side) mounting. One part number covers left and right swings across a building, which is why property managers standardizing a fleet of openings tend to buy it this way.
2) How big a door will the Dorma 8916 closer handle, and what spring size do I set it to?
Spring power adjusts across sizes 1 through 6 on one closer, and it is rated for doors up to 180 lbs. Size 1 suits a narrow interior door; size 6 handles a wide, heavy exterior opening. You set the power in the field with the spring adjustment rather than ordering a fixed size, so one stocked closer covers an entire building's range of openings.
3) Does the Dorma 8916 closer meet ADA opening force requirements?
Yes, the 8916 is ADA compliant and the fully adjustable spring is what gets you there. On a barrier-free opening you dial the spring down to the lowest power that still closes and latches the door reliably, which is the same adjustment that lets it go up to size 6 on a heavy exterior door. Institutional buyers specifying accessible restrooms and corridors can use one closer across both accessible and standard openings.
4) What mounting fasteners come with the Dorma 8916FHP, and will they work on my doors?
Sex nuts for a 1-3/4 inch door are included. That is the standard commercial door thickness, so on typical hollow metal or solid core commercial leaves you are covered out of the box. Sex nuts (through bolts) are what you want on a door that will see abuse; they clamp through the leaf instead of relying on screw threads in the door face. If your doors are a different thickness, the supplied sex nuts will not be the right length.
5) Is the Dorma 8916 heavy duty enough for a high traffic entrance or a school corridor?
Rated at 10,000,000 cycles and classified heavy duty, commercial, ANSI/BHMA Grade 1. That cycle count is the top tier for a surface closer and is why the 8900 Series lands on institutional and high-traffic openings, schools, hospitals, and multi-family entries. The body is aluminum with a full plastic cover on this FHP model.
6) My existing closer mounts on the push side of the door. Can I use the Dorma 8916 there?
Yes. Tri-pack means the 8916 ships to mount three ways: regular arm on the pull side, top jamb, and parallel arm on the push side. Parallel arm is the usual pick when the door swings out into a corridor or when you want the closer tucked against the frame face. Since the closer is non-handed as well, the same box works whichever side and whichever swing you are replacing.
7) Which door closer gives hold open like the Dorma 8916FHP if the Dorma is not the right fit?
The 8916FHP carries a friction hold open arm in a tri-pack. Two peers are built the same way: the Accentra 51 Series is a tri-packed hold open arm closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-6, and the Orca Hardware BHDC1958HO/PA is a tri-packed hold open arm closer supplied with a parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Stanley Security A45-501HL is a long hold open arm closer set up for top jamb mounting, which is a single mounting position rather than a tri-pack.
8) What is the closest heavy duty Grade 1 equivalent to the Dorma 8916 door closer from another manufacturer?
The Dorma 8916 is a heavy duty, Grade 1 surface mounted closer with an adjustable spring size range of 1 to 6. The BEST HD8000 Series is the nearest peer on those terms - it is a heavy duty surface mounted closer carrying Grade 1 certification. The BEST EHD9000 Series is also heavy duty and Grade 1, and covers adjustable spring sizes 1-6. Sargent 1431 Powerglide and Falcon SC71A are heavy duty Grade 1 surface closers as well, so a specification calling for a heavy duty Grade 1 adjustable surface closer can be met by any of them.
9) Which tri-pack closers look like a substitute for the Dorma 8916FHP but do not hold the door open?
Several tri-pack closers in the same size class use a non-hold open arm, so they will not stand a door open the way the 8916FHP friction hold open arm does. The Accentra 2701 Series is a tri-packed non-hold open arm closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-6, the Accentra 1101BF is a tri-packed non-hold open arm closer with sizes 1-4, and the Design Hardware 116, 316 and 416 Series are all tri-packed non-hold open arm closers. If the opening needs the door to stay put, those are not a swap.
10) What should I use instead of the Dorma 8916 on an aluminum storefront door?
The Norton Rixson 1600 Series aluminum storefront closer is built for that opening specifically - it is a heavy duty Grade 1 closer with tri-style mounting. The Norton Rixson 1601P is a medium duty Grade 1 tri-mount closer rated for 180 degree swing. The Dorma 8916 ships with sex nuts sized for a 1-3/4 inch door, which is the mounting kit for a standard door leaf rather than a narrow stile aluminum frame.
11) If I need a delayed action closer and the Dorma 8916 does not work for the opening, what else offers it?
The Dorma 8916FHP is offered with delayed action as an option alongside non-delayed builds, in 689 aluminum, 695 dark bronze and 696 satin brass. Among other brands, 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 BHDC2011DA/PA is the same delayed action arrangement in the BHDC2011 Series. Both are tri-packed non-hold open arm closers, so delayed action replaces the hold open function rather than adding to it.
12) Is the Cal-Royal 400 an equivalent to the Dorma 8916?
They sit at different certification levels. The Dorma 8916 is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 and heavy duty. The Cal-Royal 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic closer. If a Cal-Royal closer is wanted at Grade 1, the 500S is a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check, the 700S is a Grade 1 dual valve sized closer with an adjustable tube arm, and the N900PBF is a Grade 1 barrier free hydraulic surface closer.
13) Is the Arrow DC314 a match for the Dorma 8916 on a heavy exterior door?
The Arrow DC314 is a Grade 1 surface mounted closer but is rated light duty, as are the Arrow DCN314 and DCN325. The Dorma 8916 is Grade 1 heavy duty, rated 10,000,000 cycles and sized for doors up to 180 pounds. For a heavy exterior leaf, closers matching the 8916 on duty level include the LCN 1460T at heavy duty Grade 1, the BEST EHD9000 extra heavy duty, and the Design Hardware 416 Series heavy duty closer.
14) Should I order the delayed action option on the 8916 closer?
Delayed action is a yes or no choice at order time on the 8916FHP. Order it where people need extra time to get through the opening, carts, gurneys, wheelchairs, someone with an armload of boxes. It holds the door near full open for a few seconds before the normal close cycle takes over. On a standard office or corridor door it is not needed, and the non-delay version is the simpler order. Either way you get the same friction hold open arm and the same size 1 to 6 spring range.
15) Will the 8916 closer keep the door from slamming into the wall behind it?
Yes, the 8900 Series has adjustable backcheck, and the valve lets you set how hard it cushions. That protects the door, the closer arm, and whatever is on the wall behind the swing. On parallel arm applications there is a separate backcheck positioning adjustment so the backcheck kicks in over a range comparable to regular and top jamb mounting, which is the mounting where backcheck timing usually suffers. If a wall stop is not practical, this is the feature that saves the opening.
16) What else can I use instead of the Dorma 8916 if I need a hold open closer at this duty level?
Closest cross-brand match on function is the Accentra 51 Series, which is a tri-packed hold open arm closer with the same size 1 to 6 spring range. The Orca Hardware BHDC1958 hold open with parallel bracket is another hold open option and is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. For heavy duty Grade 1 tri-mount closers where hold open is not required, the BEST HD8000 Series and the Falcon SC71A Series are the closer equivalents on duty and grade.
17) I only need a closer for a light interior office door. Is the Dorma 8916 overkill?
Probably, yes. The 8916 is a heavy duty, 10 million cycle closer built for institutional and high-traffic openings. For a low-traffic interior door, a light duty Grade 1 closer such as the BEST SL6000 Series, the Arrow DC314, or the LCN 1250 Series covers the job. Where the door is on a main entry, a stairwell, or any opening that cycles all day, stay with the heavy duty closer.
18) What is a lighter duty alternative to the Dorma 8916 for an interior office door that does not see heavy traffic?
The Dorma 8916 is rated heavy duty at 10,000,000 cycles for institutional and high-traffic openings. For lower-traffic interior doors, the BEST SL6000 Series is a light duty Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring sizes, the Norton Rixson 160 Series is a light duty Grade 1 surface closer with an adjustable spring, and the LCN 1250 Series is a light duty closer with sizes 1-5 and all-weather fluid. The Falcon SC91A is light duty at Grade 3. Between light and heavy sit the BEST HD7000 Series and Falcon SC81A, both medium duty Grade 1.
19) Which other Grade 1 closers come with a full cover like the Dorma 8916FHP?
The 8916FHP is supplied with a full plastic cover. The Dexter DCH1000 Series is a Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer that also includes a full cover. Going the other way, the Arrow DCN314 and DCN325 are Grade 1 tri-pack surface closers supplied less cover, with the DCN314 adjustable over spring sizes 1-4 and the DCN325 over sizes 1-6, so those leave the body exposed unless a cover is added. The Design Hardware 316 Series is another closer supplied with a cover.
20) What ADA compliant closer can I standardize on across a facility alongside the Dorma 8916?
The Dorma 8916 is ADA compliant with a fully adjustable spring meeting barrier-free requirements across sizes 1 to 6. Peers with the same adjustable-size ADA story include the Imperial USA TC4300 Series, a heavy duty size 1-6 ADA closer; the Calibre CA9901, a Grade 1 tri-pack arm ADA closer covering sizes 2-5; the Calibre CA4001, a Grade 1 adjustable spring tension ADA hydraulic closer; and the Norton Rixson 8501A, a Grade 1 tri-mount closer with adjustable size 1-6 spring. Any of these lets a facility hold one closer standard across mixed openings.
21) Which closers mount only one way and cannot replace the tri-pack arrangement on the Dorma 8916FHP?
The 8916FHP arm comes tri-packed, so the same closer can be set regular arm, top jamb or parallel arm. Some peers are ordered to one mounting position instead: the Corbin Russwin DC3200 is a Grade 1 closer specified with a regular arm, the DC5230 with a slide track arm on pull side mounting, and the DC6200 and DC8200 with a double lever regular arm on pull side mounting. The Calibre CA8001P is a Grade 1 parallel arm closer in size 1, and the Stanley A45-501HL is set up for top jamb. If the opening still needs mounting flexibility decided in the field, those single-position closers do not cover it.
22) The Dorma 8916 has an aluminum body - which comparable closers use cast iron instead?
The Dorma 8916 body substrate is aluminum. If cast iron is preferred for the opening, the Sargent 281 Powerglide is a cast iron surface closer with heavy duty construction, and the LCN 1261 is a cast iron closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-5 rated light to medium duty. On the aluminum side, the Sargent 1331 uses a universal aluminum body at Grade 1 medium duty, the LCN 1450 is cast aluminum with spring sizes 1-6, and the Falcon SC81A and SC61A are cast aluminum.
23) Can a Stanley pivot or a drop plate replace the Dorma 8916 door closer?
No - those are different parts entirely. The Stanley 327 and Stanley 341 are wardrobe pivots that carry and swing a door, with no hydraulic closing control. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate, a mounting bracket for a DCN500 closer rather than a closer itself. The Dorma 8916 is the closer: a heavy duty hydraulic unit with adjustable spring power and backcheck.
24) What finishes does the Dorma 8916FHP closer come in?
Three finishes: 689 aluminum, 695 dark bronze, and 696 satin brass. All three are available with or without delayed action. 689 is the default match for clear anodized aluminum storefront, 695 for dark bronze frames, and 696 where the door hardware on the opening is brass. The cover on this model is plastic, so match the finish to the frame rather than expecting metal sheen.
