Dormakaba ITS9613 NHO 689 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I have to order the Dormakaba ITS9613 concealed door closer left hand or right hand?
Handing is not part of the order. The ITS9613 is non-handed and installs on either hand without modification, so one part number covers both swings. That matters if you are buying for a building with mixed handing: you stock a single closer instead of splitting the order, and a unit pulled for one opening will work on the next one.
2) What spring size do I need for the Dormakaba ITS9613, and can I adjust it after the door is hung?
One unit covers spring sizes 1 through 3, and the force is adjustable with the closer already installed, so you set it on site rather than specifying a size on the order. That is what lets you dial an interior opening down to a barrier-free opening force: the ITS9613 meets ANSI/BHMA A117.1 and ADA for barrier-free accessibility. Sweep and latch valve adjustments are also reachable after installation, so you can slow the sweep and still keep enough latch speed to close the door onto the lock.
3) Should I order the hold open or non-hold open version of the Dormakaba ITS9613?
Hold Open (HO) is for openings where staff want the door parked open, a corridor or a supply room. Non-Hold Open (NHO) is what you order for a fire rated opening: the ITS9613 meets UL10C for positive pressure fire door applications, but a fire door has to be self-closing, so a mechanical hold open that parks the leaf open is not permitted on one unless it releases on alarm. Both configurations come in all three finishes, 689 Anodized Aluminum, 693 Black, and 695 Dark Bronze.
4) Can the Dormakaba ITS9613 be mounted in the frame instead of the door?
Yes. The closer body inverts and installs into the frame rather than the leaf. That is the way out when the door itself cannot take the prep, for instance a leaf with glazing or a lite kit through the top rail, or a wood door where the routing would run into the stile joinery. The prep dimensions are the same either way: the body is 1-1/4 x 3-5/32 x 20-1/2 inches.
5) The door is heavier than 125 lbs. What overhead concealed closer covers it instead of the Dormakaba ITS9613?
The Dormakaba ITS9613 concealed overhead closer carries a maximum door weight of 125 lbs, so a heavier leaf needs a different unit. Norton Rixson makes the 608 Series center hung overhead concealed door closer for 200 lb doors and the 700 Series center hung overhead concealed door closer with 200 lbs capacity, both standard duty; the Rixson 73 Series is a heavy duty Grade 1 center hung double acting overhead concealed closer with cover plate rated to 250 lbs. Those Rixson units are built around center hung doors, while the ITS9613 is concealed in the door leaf itself, measures 1-1/4" x 3-5/32" x 20-1/2", and installs non-handed in doors 1-3/4" thick minimum. Confirm how the door is hung before switching, because the prep is not the same.
6) Will a Norton Rixson 0608 or 608 drop into the same door prep as a Dormakaba ITS9613?
No. The Norton Rixson 0608 Series is an offset hung overhead concealed door closer for aluminum doors up to 200 lbs, and the Rixson 608 Series is a center hung overhead concealed closer for 200 lb doors, both standard duty; they are matched to doors hung on offset or center pivots. The Dormakaba ITS9613 is a concealed-in-door closer, morticed into the leaf itself in a 1-1/4" x 3-5/32" x 20-1/2" pocket, non-handed, for doors 1-3/4" thick minimum, and its body can be inverted to install in the frame. Both are called overhead concealed closers, but the machining, the door hanging method, and the hardware they work with are different, so one is not a field swap for the other.
7) The opening has to swing wider than 130 degrees. Which concealed overhead closer allows that?
The Dormakaba ITS9613 concealed overhead closer has a maximum door opening of approximately 130 degrees, with a cushioned limit stay to keep the door off the wall. Where the leaf must swing further, the Sargent 269 is a heavy duty Grade 1 overhead concealed door closer with 180 degree opening capability. Both carry a Grade 1 rating; the ITS9613 is concealed in the door and non-handed with adjustable spring size 1-3, so the choice comes down to how far the door has to travel and how the closer is prepped into the opening.
8) Is the Dormakaba ITS9613 concealed closer approved for a fire rated door in a California project?
The ITS9613 is UL and CL listed, meets UL10C for positive pressure fire door applications, and is CSFM Approved, which is the California State Fire Marshal listing your AHJ will look for. It is also a Grade 1 closer. Specify the NHO version on the fire opening so the door stays self-closing.
9) How far will a door with the ITS9613 concealed closer open, and will it hit the wall behind it?
Maximum opening is roughly 130 degrees, and the closer has a cushioned limit stay that keeps the leaf from slamming into the wall at the end of the swing. It is not a substitute for a floor or wall stop if the opening needs one, but it does absorb the throw on a door someone shoves. If the opening has to go past 130 degrees, the Sargent 269 overhead concealed closer is built for 180 degree opening.
10) What is the difference between a concealed-in-door closer like the ITS9613 and a header-concealed closer with pivots?
The ITS9613 hides inside the door leaf itself (or inverted into the frame) and works with conventional hinges, so it goes into an existing interior opening without changing how the door hangs. A header-concealed closer lives in the frame head and works with a pivot set, which means new pivot preps top and bottom. If the door is already center hung or offset hung on pivots, that is the family you want: the Norton Rixson 608 Series and 700 Series are center hung overhead concealed closers, and the 0608 Series is the offset hung version for aluminum doors. For an existing hinged interior door where you just want the hardware to disappear, the ITS9613 is the lower-disruption route.
11) The ITS9613 says interior only. What concealed closer should I look at for an exterior aluminum entrance?
The ITS9613 is specified for interior wood, hollow metal, and aluminum doors and frames, so an exterior entrance is outside what it is listed for. For aluminum entrance doors, the Norton Rixson 0608 Series is an offset hung overhead concealed closer for aluminum doors up to 200 lbs, and the 608 Series is the center hung equivalent for 200 lb doors. Both hang the door on pivots rather than hinges, so plan on pivot prep top and bottom.
12) I need a concealed closer that holds the door open. How do the CRL Jackson 20-101M bodies compare with the Dormakaba ITS9613?
The Dormakaba ITS9613 is ordered in either Hold Open (HO) or Non-Hold Open (NHO), each available in 689 Anodized Aluminum, 693 Black, and 695 Dark Bronze. The CRL Jackson 20-101M overhead concealed bodies are non hold open closers: the 20-101M-01 regular duty at 105 degrees, the 20-101M-03 regular duty at 90 degrees, the 20-101M-09 heavy duty at 105 degrees, and the 20-101M-17 adjustable spring power at 105 degrees are all listed as no hold-open. If the door has to stand open on its own, specify the ITS9613 in the HO configuration rather than substituting one of the CRL Jackson bodies.
13) A wall behind the door limits the swing to about 90 degrees. What concealed closer suits that opening?
The Dormakaba ITS9613 opens to approximately 130 degrees and includes a cushioned limit stay that keeps the door from slamming into the wall, which covers many tight-wall conditions. Where the swing must be held to a hard 90 degrees, the CRL Jackson 20-101M-03 is a regular duty overhead concealed door closer body, non hold open, built at 90 degrees; its siblings the 20-101M-01 regular duty and 20-101M-09 heavy duty are 105 degree no hold-open. Measure the wall clearance and the door width before choosing, since the ITS9613 also has to fit a 1-1/4" x 3-5/32" x 20-1/2" pocket in a door at least 1-3/4" thick.
14) Which overhead concealed closers let me adjust closing power after the unit is in the door?
The Dormakaba ITS9613 has adjustable spring force in sizes 1 through 3 that can be changed with the unit installed, and its sweep and latch valve adjustments plus adjustable latch action stay accessible after installation. On the CRL Jackson side, the 20-101M-17 is the adjustable spring power overhead concealed door closer body, 105 degree no hold-open, while the 20-101M-01 is a regular duty body and the 20-101M-09 a heavy duty body, each at a fixed 105 degrees no hold-open. If one closer has to serve a range of door widths across a building, an adjustable-power unit saves specifying a separate size per opening.
15) Is the Sargent 278 the same kind of hidden closer as the Dormakaba ITS9613?
They differ in what shows on the door. The Sargent 278 is a heavy duty Grade 1 overhead concealed door closer with an exposed arm, so the arm remains visible at the head of the opening. The Dormakaba ITS9613 is a Grade 1 concealed installation that is invisible when the door is closed, mounted inside the leaf, non-handed, and finished in 689 Anodized Aluminum, 693 Black, or 695 Dark Bronze. On an architectural interior where nothing is meant to be seen on the face of the closed door, that difference is the deciding one.
16) How is the Dormakaba ITS9613 different from the CRL Jackson overhead concealed closers?
Two things separate them. The CRL Jackson 20-101M closers are sold as a body only, and most are fixed to a single swing, either 90 degree or 105 degree no hold-open, with one adjustable spring power model in the range. The ITS9613 is a complete concealed-in-door closer with adjustable spring size 1 through 3, roughly 130 degrees of opening, and a choice of Hold Open or Non-Hold Open. If you are replacing a failed body in an existing CRL Jackson installation, stay with the CRL part. If you are specifying a new interior opening, the ITS9613 gives you the adjustment range and the hold open option.
17) The door with the new closer is not latching all the way. Does the ITS9613 have a latch speed adjustment?
Yes, the ITS9613 has an adjustable latch action for positive latching, and its cam and roller design puts maximum closing force at the latch, which is what pushes the leaf into a stiff gasket or a positive pressure seal. The latch valve is reachable after installation, so you can bring the last few degrees up without speeding the whole sweep.
18) What finishes does the Dormakaba ITS9613 come in for matching the rest of a building?
Three finishes: 689 Anodized Aluminum, 693 Black, and 695 Dark Bronze, and each is available in both Hold Open and Non-Hold Open. Since the closer is concealed and invisible with the door closed, the finish only shows on the exposed slide channel and end cap at the top of the leaf, so match it to the frame or the door top rather than to the lockset. Anti-tamper protection is built in, which is worth having in multi-family corridors and other openings the public can reach.
19) What is the difference between the Sargent 268 and the Dormakaba ITS9613 for a high traffic interior door?
The Sargent 268 is a heavy duty Grade 1 overhead concealed door closer built with a cast iron body. The Dormakaba ITS9613 is also Grade 1 and uses a cam and roller design that drops opening force quickly while delivering maximum closing force at the latch, with adjustable latch action for positive latching, a cushioned limit stay, and anti-tamper protection, on doors up to 125 lbs. The Sargent 268 is defined by its cast iron construction; the ITS9613 is defined by being fully concealed in the door leaf, non-handed, with spring force adjustable in sizes 1 through 3 after installation.
