Dormakaba MOD-8916-FC-689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Dormakaba MOD 8916 closer body come with an arm?
No arm. The MOD 8916 ships as the closer body with full cover plus sex nuts and machine screws only, so you order the arm separately. If you are replacing a failed closer body on an existing opening and the flatform arm is still serviceable, that is exactly what this part is for.
2) Do I have to specify a closer size when ordering the 8916, or is it adjustable?
One body covers the range. Spring power is adjustable size 1 through 6, so the same unit can be dialed for a narrow interior door or a wide, heavy exterior one. Nothing to specify on the order form beyond finish.
3) Is the Dormakaba 8900 series door closer Grade 1?
The 8900 series closer is certified ANSI Grade 1, which is the heavy duty commercial class specified for institutional and high-traffic openings. That is why it turns up on school, hospital, and multi-family corridor doors.
4) The door has no room for a surface mounted closer on the face of the door. What should I use instead of the Dormakaba MOD 8916 closer body?
Look at the Calibre CA3300-B instead. It is an overhead concealed closer body from the 3300 Series with adjustable spring tension, so the mechanism sits in the head frame rather than on the door face. The Dormakaba MOD 8916 is a surface applied closer body with a narrow projection full cover, which still requires exposed mounting on the opening.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Dormakaba MOD 8916 closer body if I need another surface closer body with the same adjustable size range?
The Hager 5101 is the nearest match. It is a heavy duty door closer body with adjustable sizes 1-6, the same spring power range the Dormakaba MOD 8916 closer body covers, and it is rated Grade 1 as the MOD 8916 is. Both are sold as the closer body itself, so confirm arm, cover and fastener requirements separately for whichever you order.
6) Why does this closer come with sex nuts instead of just wood or machine screws?
Sex nuts and machine screws through-bolt the closer body through the door rather than relying on threads in the door face. On hollow metal or mineral-core doors in high-traffic openings that is what keeps the closer from pulling out, and it is the mounting a lot of institutional specs call for.
7) Does the 8916 have backcheck, and does that matter on an exterior door?
Yes, the hydraulic control includes backcheck along with full range spring power adjustment. Backcheck cushions the door before it slams into an adjacent wall or the stop when wind catches it, so on an exterior or vestibule opening it is the feature that protects the frame and the closer arm.
8) What else could I use instead of the Dormakaba 8916 if I need a complete heavy duty closer?
The Hager 5101, from the 5100 Series, is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer body with the same adjustable size 1-6 spring range. It is a reasonable alternative when you are not tied to matching existing Dormakaba hardware. Stay with the 8916 if the rest of the building is on 8900 series bodies and you want covers and arms to match visually.
9) Can I use the 8916 as a straight replacement part rather than a new install?
That is its intended use. It is catalogued as a replacement closer body, so it suits swapping out a leaking or worn 8900 series unit while keeping the existing arm and mounting. For a brand new opening you will need the arm as well, since it does not ship with one.
10) Is the Calibre CA3300-B a drop-in replacement for a Dormakaba MOD 8916 closer body?
No. The CA3300-B is an overhead concealed closer body only, meaning it mounts within the frame head and requires a frame prepared for concealed hardware. The Dormakaba MOD 8916 is a surface closer body supplied with a full cover and sex nuts and machine screws for a 1-3/4 inch door. Swapping between them changes the mounting method entirely, not just the closer.
11) For a high traffic institutional opening, how does the Dormakaba MOD 8916 closer body compare with the Hager 5101?
Both are Grade 1 certified bodies with size 1-6 adjustment, so either suits heavy use. The Dormakaba MOD 8916 is part of the 8900 series built for institutional and high-traffic commercial work, with full range spring power adjustment plus backcheck, a narrow projection full cover, and finish choices of 689 anodized aluminum or 695 dark duranodic bronze. The Hager 5101 comes from the 5100 heavy duty series. Neither includes the arm in the body order.
12) Will the 8916 full cover stick out past the door frame?
The 8900 series uses a narrow projection full cover, so it sits tight to the door face rather than bulking out into the opening. That matters on narrow reveals and where the cover would otherwise foul a stop or an adjacent wall.
