Orca Hardware BHDC1958DA/PA-AL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Orca BHDC1958 delayed action closer be mounted parallel arm or top jamb, or only regular arm?
All three. The BHDC1958DA ships tri-packed, so it covers regular arm pull side, parallel arm push side, and top jamb push side mounting, and the parallel arm bracket is included in the box. It also installs on either side of the door, so one part number covers most openings in a building instead of stocking separate configurations.
2) What door widths will this Orca commercial closer handle?
Interior doors up to 60 inches wide and exterior doors up to 48 inches wide. Spring power is field adjustable through sizes 1 to 6, so you set the power to the door width and exposure rather than ordering a fixed size. It's built for 1-3/4 inch doors, the standard commercial thickness.
3) What does the delayed action feature on a door closer actually do, and when do I want it?
Delayed action holds the door open briefly at the wide part of the swing before the sweep begins, which gives people with carts, wheelchairs, or full hands time to get through. On the BHDC1958DA it comes alongside independently valved sweep and latch speed adjustments and standard adjustable backcheck, so you can slow the pass-through without making the final latching sluggish. Common picks for multi-family corridors, healthcare, and any opening where a standard closing cycle is too quick.
4) I need the door to stay open by itself. Is the Orca BHDC1958DA the right closer?
No. This one is a non-hold open arm with delayed action, so the door pauses in the swing but does not stay parked open. For a true hold open you want a hold open arm closer, for example the Accentra 51 Series, which is a tri-packed hold open arm closer with adjustable spring size 1 to 6. Delayed action and hold open are different functions and get confused often.
5) Does this closer come with mounting screws and sex bolts, or do I need to order fasteners separately?
Fasteners are in the carton. The BHDC1958DA ships with machine and self-tapping screws plus sex nuts and bolts, so you're covered on both hollow metal frames and wood doors that need through-bolting. What you should confirm is drop plate need: a shallow head frame or stop condition on parallel arm mounting can call for one, and that is a separate part.
6) Will this closer allow the door to swing a full 180 degrees?
Rated to 180 degrees of door opening, which matters where a door needs to lay back flat against a wall. Actual swing on your opening is still limited by what the wall, stop, or adjacent hardware allows, and parallel arm mounting typically restricts the sweep more than regular arm.
7) How does this Orca closer compare to a Grade 1 tri-mount closer from LCN, Norton or Sargent?
It sits in the same tri-mount Grade 1 class. Direct comparables include the Norton Rixson 8501A, a Grade 1 tri-mount closer with adjustable size 1 to 6 spring, and the Norton Rixson 1600 Series, Grade 1 with tri-mount design and 180 degree swing. If your spec calls for heavy duty specifically, the Sargent 1431 Powerglide and the BEST EHD9000 Series are Grade 1 heavy duty units with adjustable spring. The Orca's distinguishing feature against most of those is the factory delayed action valve.
8) Is a size 1-4 closer enough, or do I need the full 1-6 range?
Range matters when you are standardizing. A 1 to 4 closer such as the Arrow DCN314 or Accentra 1101BF covers narrower interior doors, but it runs out of power on wide or exterior leaves. The Orca BHDC1958DA adjusts through 1 to 6, which is why it carries interior doors to 60 inches and exterior to 48 inches. For a property manager buying one closer for a whole building, the wider range is the fewer-SKU choice.
9) Does the Orca BHDC1958 meet a Grade 1 barrier-free spec, or do I need a different closer?
The Orca BHDC1958 is BHMA certified Grade 1 to ANSI A156.4, UL listed, and adjustable for barrier-free compliance. Comparable Grade 1 barrier-free closers include the Cal-Royal 500S of the 500 Series with adjustable back-check and the Cal-Royal N900PBF of the 900 Door Closer Series. The Calibre CA4001 of the CA4000 Series is a Grade 1 hydraulic closer with adjustable spring tension for ADA, and the Imperial USA TC4300 Series is a heavy duty size 1-6 ADA closer.
10) Is there a lighter-duty closer than the Orca BHDC1958 for an interior office door that sees little traffic?
The Orca BHDC1958 is a commercial closer with a heavy duty cast aluminum body and power adjustable 1 through 6. For lower-traffic interior openings, light duty Grade 1 options include the BEST SL6000 Series with adjustable spring sizes, the Arrow DC314 of the DC300 Series, and the Norton Rixson 160 Series light commercial closer. The Falcon SC91A is also light duty and is Grade 3 rather than Grade 1.
11) For a high-traffic exterior entrance, is there a heavier closer than the Orca BHDC1958?
The Orca BHDC1958 covers exterior doors up to 48 inches wide and interior doors up to 60 inches wide with a heavy duty cast aluminum body. If the opening calls for a heavier machine, the BEST EHD9000 Series is extra heavy-duty and Grade 1 with adjustable spring sizes 1-6, the BEST HD8000 Series is heavy duty Grade 1, and the Sargent 281 Powerglide is a heavy duty Grade 1 closer with a cast iron body. The Falcon SC71A of the SC70A Series is another heavy duty Grade 1 option.
12) Which closers besides the Orca BHDC1958 can be mounted regular, parallel, or top jamb from the same carton?
The Orca BHDC1958 is tri-packed for regular arm pull side, parallel arm push side, and top jamb push side mounting. Other tri-mount options include the Dexter DCH4000 and DCM1000 Series, both Grade 1 surface closers for regular, parallel, or top jamb mounting, the Norton Rixson 1601P of the 1600 Series, a medium duty Grade 1 tri-mount closer with 180 degree swing, and the Norton Rixson 8501A of the 8000 Series, a Grade 1 tri-mount closer with adjustable size 1-6 spring.
13) What finishes does the Orca BHDC1958 closer cover come in?
Two cover finishes are sold: aluminum and duronodic bronze. The cover is full plastic over a cast aluminum body, so on a run of doors where you already have anodized aluminum storefront, the aluminum cover matches and the duronodic matches dark bronze frames.
14) Is this closer suitable for a high-traffic commercial entrance or is it a residential-grade unit?
Commercial. The body is heavy duty cast aluminum with needle-bearing pinion support, and it carries BHMA Grade 1 certification to ANSI A156.4 with a UL Listing. The description calls out office buildings, shopping centers, mixed-use, and multi-family as intended applications. Closers ship 6 per case, which suits fleet replacement across a property.
15) What medium duty closers compare to the Orca BHDC1958 for a multi-family corridor door?
The Orca BHDC1958 is a Grade 1 commercial closer suited to office buildings, shopping centers, mixed-use buildings, and multi-family residences. Medium duty Grade 1 peers for that kind of corridor traffic include the Sargent 1131 and Sargent 1331, the latter with a universal aluminum body, the BEST HD7000 Series with adjustable spring power and backcheck control, and the Dormakaba 7414 with size 1-4. The Falcon SC81A of the SC80A Series is a medium duty Grade 1 cast aluminum closer.
