Orca Hardware ORC-BHDC2011RA/PA-DURO – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Orca BHDC2011 door closer work on a 48 inch exterior door?
Yes. The BHDC2011 is rated for exterior doors up to 48 inches wide and interior doors up to 60 inches wide, with spring power adjustable from size 1 through 6 so you can dial it in for the door width and any wind load on the opening. It mounts on 1-3/4 inch doors.
2) Can this Orca closer be mounted parallel arm on the push side, or is it pull side only?
All three mountings are covered. The BHDC2011 ships tri-packed: regular arm pull side, parallel arm push side, and top jamb push side, and the parallel arm bracket is included in the box. That means one part number covers the openings in a building that swing different ways.
3) Do I need to order a left hand and a right hand version of the BHDC2011?
No. It is non-handed, so a single closer works on either a left or right hand door. Stock one item for the whole building instead of splitting your order by handing.
4) Does this closer hold the door open, and is that what I want on a fire rated opening?
The BHDC2011 arm is a non-hold open arm, so the door closes every time it is released. That is the arm you want on any opening that has to self-close and latch. If you specifically need a mechanical hold open, look at a hold open version such as the Accentra 51 Series, which is a tri-packed hold open arm closer.
5) Is the Orca BHDC2011 ADA compliant for a barrier free opening?
Yes. It is listed as ADA compliant and the spring power is adjustable for barrier-free compliance, so you can back the closing force down to what your opening force requirement allows and still get positive latching. Useful where an inspector is checking push force on public entries.
6) Is this closer Grade 1, and does it meet a spec calling for ANSI 156.4 and UL?
The BHDC2011 is BHMA Certified Grade 1 to ANSI 156.4 and UL Listed. That is the top ANSI/BHMA grade for surface closers and is what most commercial and institutional specs call for on office, retail, and multi-family corridor doors.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Orca BHDC2011 tri-pack non-hold-open closer from another brand?
The Orca BHDC2011 is a tri-packed non-hold-open arm closer, adjustable size 1-6, BHMA Certified Grade 1 under ANSI 156.4 and UL Listed. The Accentra 2701 shares the tri-packed non-hold-open arm function with adjustable spring sizes 1-6 in the 2700 Series. The Design Hardware 316 Series is also a tri-packed non-hold-open arm closer, rated medium to heavy duty and supplied with a cover. All three cover regular, parallel and top jamb mounting from one carton.
8) I need a hold-open arm instead of the non-hold-open Orca BHDC2011 — what should I order?
The Orca BHDC2011 ships with a tri-packed non-hold-open arm, so it will not park the door open. For a hold-open version of the same tri-packed arrangement, the Accentra 51 Series is a tri-packed hold-open arm closer with adjustable spring size 1-6. The Stanley Security A45-501HL is supplied with a long hold-open arm as standard for top jamb mounting.
9) For a high-abuse exterior entrance, is there a heavier closer than the Orca BHDC2011?
The Orca BHDC2011 handles exterior doors up to 48 inches wide with an adjustable back-check and a heavy duty cast aluminum body. Where a heavier unit is wanted, the BEST EHD9000 Series is an extra heavy-duty Grade 1 closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-6, the Sargent 1431 Powerglide is a heavy duty Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring power, and the Sargent 281 Powerglide uses a cast iron body. The Norton Rixson 1600BC is a heavy duty Grade 1 closer built for aluminum storefront doors with tri-style mounting.
10) My drawing calls for a slide track or flat arm rather than the Orca BHDC2011 regular arm — what fits that spec?
The Orca BHDC2011 is furnished as a regular arm closer with a parallel arm bracket, covering regular arm pull side, parallel arm push side and top jamb push side mounting. If the spec calls for a track, the Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a slide track arm standard for pull side mounting, and the Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty jamb track closer for frame face pull side mounting, adjustable size 1-6. For a flat arm, the Dormakaba 8616 AF86P is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer with a flat non-hold-open arm supplied tri-pack.
11) Which closers besides the Orca BHDC2011 will meet a Grade 1 barrier-free requirement?
The Orca BHDC2011 is BHMA Certified Grade 1 to ANSI 156.4, UL Listed, and adjustable for barrier-free compliance. The Cal-Royal 500S is a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check, and the Cal-Royal N900PBF is a Grade 1 barrier free hydraulic surface closer. The Calibre CA4001 is a Grade 1 hydraulic closer with adjustable spring tension for ADA, and the Imperial USA TC4300 is a heavy duty ADA closer with size 1-6 adjustment.
12) The Orca BHDC2011 is size 1-6 adjustable — which comparable closers only cover a narrower spring range?
The Orca BHDC2011 adjusts across sizes 1 through 6, so one unit covers interior doors up to 60 inches and exterior doors up to 48 inches. Narrower ranges include the Accentra 1101BF, adjustable spring sizes 1-4 with tri-pack mounting, the Arrow DCN314 at size 1-4, the Dormakaba 7414 at size 1-4, the LCN 1261 at sizes 1-5, and the Calibre CA9901 tri-pack arm at size 2-5. The Calibre CA8001P is a fixed size 1 parallel arm closer.
13) I am standardizing a multi-family property on one closer — what else offers the same tri-mount flexibility as the Orca BHDC2011?
The Orca BHDC2011 is non-handed and covers regular arm pull side, parallel arm push side and top jamb push side from one carton, packed 6 per case, which lets one part number serve mixed openings in office, shopping center, mixed-use and multi-family buildings. Comparable tri-mount units include the Norton Rixson 1601P, a Grade 1 tri-mount closer with 180 degree swing, the Norton Rixson 8501A Grade 1 tri-mount with adjustable size 1-6 spring, and the Dexter DCM1000 and DCL2000, both Grade 1 surface closers that mount regular, parallel or top jamb.
14) Will this door closer let the door swing a full 180 degrees?
Rated to a 180 degree opening, so on an opening with no wall or obstruction behind the leaf the door can swing all the way back. Actual swing on your job is limited by whatever the door hits first and by the mounting you choose, not by the closer.
15) Does the BHDC2011 have backcheck to stop the door slamming into the wall on a windy entrance?
Yes, backcheck is adjustable on this closer, which cushions the door near the end of the opening swing and protects the door, frame, and closer arm on entrances that catch wind or get thrown open. It also runs a needle-bearing pinion for smoother operation on high-traffic doors.
16) What fasteners come with the Orca BHDC2011, and will they work on a hollow metal frame and a wood door?
Sex nuts and bolts are included, along with machine and self-tapping screws. The machine screws suit tapped hollow metal, self-tappers suit sheet metal frames, and the sex bolts let you through-bolt a wood or mineral core door so the closer does not pull out of the face.
17) How is the Orca BHDC2011 different from a heavy duty closer like the BEST EHD9000 or Sargent 281?
The BHDC2011 is a Grade 1 cast aluminum body closer sized 1-6 with a plastic cover, aimed at office, retail, mixed-use, and multi-family openings. Where you have abusive traffic or a very heavy exterior leaf, the comparable step up is an extra heavy duty unit like the BEST EHD9000 Series (Grade 1, heavy duty, sizes 1-6) or the cast iron Sargent 281 Powerglide. For lighter interior doors, the Falcon SC91A is a Grade 3 light duty option.
18) I need a tri-pack Grade 1 closer with sizes 1-6 but a different brand for a spec match. What else is there?
Close equivalents in tri-mount, full size range Grade 1: the Accentra 2701 Series (tri-packed non-hold open, sizes 1-6), the Norton Rixson 8501A (Grade 1 tri-mount, adjustable size 1-6), and the Dexter DCH1000 Series (Grade 1, tri mount regular, parallel or top jamb, full cover). The Arrow DCN325 is a tri-pack sized 1-6 but is supplied less cover.
19) Is there a lighter-duty closer than the Orca BHDC2011 for a low-traffic interior door?
The Orca BHDC2011 is a commercial Grade 1 closer with a heavy duty cast aluminum body, adjustable 1-6, rated for interior doors up to 60 inches wide. For lighter openings, the BEST SL6000 Series is a light duty Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring sizes, the LCN 1250 Series is light duty with sizes 1-5 and all-weather fluid, and the Falcon SC91A is a light duty Grade 3 cast aluminum closer. The Arrow DCN325 is a light duty Grade 1 tri-pack closer with adjustable spring size 1-6 supplied less cover.
20) The Orca BHDC2011 comes with a full plastic cover — what if I want a metal cover or no cover at all?
The Orca BHDC2011 is supplied with a full plastic cover, offered in aluminum and Duronodic bronze. If a cover is not wanted, the Arrow DCN314 and DCN325 are Grade 1 tri-pack surface closers furnished less cover, the DCN314 in adjustable spring size 1-4 and the DCN325 in size 1-6. Among covered units, the Dexter DCH1000 is a Grade 1 tri-mount closer supplied with a full cover.
21) Will the Arrow DCN500DP parallel drop plate work with the Orca BHDC2011?
No. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate made for the Arrow DCN500 closer, not a closer itself and not an Orca accessory. The Orca BHDC2011 already includes a parallel arm bracket along with sex nuts and bolts and machine and self-tapping screws, so it mounts parallel arm push side without a separate brand plate.
22) If a job spec only calls for Grade 2, is there an alternative to the Orca BHDC2011?
The Orca BHDC2011 is BHMA Certified Grade 1 to ANSI 156.4 and UL Listed, which satisfies a Grade 2 requirement. If the specification is written to Grade 2, the Cal-Royal 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic door closer. The Falcon SC91A is a Grade 3 light duty cast aluminum closer for still lighter interior use.
23) What finishes does the Orca BHDC2011 closer cover come in?
Orderable in aluminum and duronodic bronze. The cover is full plastic over a cast aluminum body, so match aluminum to clear anodized storefront and duronodic to dark bronze frames.
24) How many Orca BHDC2011 closers come in a case?
Packed 6 per case. That suits a property manager or MRO buyer standardizing a corridor or a multi-family building on one closer, since the unit is non-handed and covers regular, parallel, and top jamb mounting out of the same box.
25) Do the Stanley 327 and 341 pivots substitute for the Orca BHDC2011 closer?
No. The Stanley 327 is a heavy wardrobe pivot for doors 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch up to 150 pounds and the Stanley 341 is a wardrobe pivot for flush recessed or overlay doors 1-1/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch — both are hanging hardware, not door control. The Orca BHDC2011 is a surface mounted hydraulic closer for 1-3/4 inch doors with adjustable back-check and 180 degree swing.
