Orca Hardware ORC-BHDC2011HO/PA-DURO – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What door thickness does the Orca BHDC2011 door closer mount to?
It is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors, which is the standard commercial leaf thickness. Sex nuts and bolts are included for through-bolting, along with machine and self-tapping screws, so it can be secured on hollow metal or wood doors of that thickness.
2) Does this Orca closer come with the parallel arm bracket, or do I order that separately?
The parallel arm bracket ships with it. The BHDC2011HO/PA is packed for all three mountings: regular arm pull side, parallel arm push side, and top jamb push side, so one part covers whichever side of the opening you have to work from.
3) Is the Orca BHDC2011 a hold open closer or a regular non-hold-open?
This version is built with a hold open arm, so the door can be parked open at a set point instead of closing every cycle. Keep in mind hold open arms are not used on fire rated openings that must self-close; for those doors specify the non-hold-open arm version of the series instead.
4) Does this door closer meet Grade 1 and ADA opening force requirements?
It is BHMA Certified Grade 1 to ANSI 156.4 and UL Listed, and the spring is adjustable for barrier-free compliance, so you can dial the opening force down on an accessible entry. That combination is what most institutional and multi-family specs call for.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Orca BHDC2011 hold open closer from another brand?
The Orca BHDC2011 is a Grade 1, ANSI 156.4, UL Listed surface closer with a hold open arm and tri-pack mounting for regular, parallel and top jamb. The closest match in function is the Accentra 51 Series industrial door closer, which is also a tri-packed hold open arm closer with size 1-6 adjustment. For a size 1-6 tri-mount closer without the hold open feature, the Norton Rixson 8501A is a Grade 1 tri-mount closer with an adjustable size 1-6 spring.
6) We have a high-abuse exterior entrance. Is there a heavier closer than the Orca BHDC2011?
The Orca BHDC2011 uses a heavy duty cast aluminum body and covers exterior doors up to 48 inches wide. For openings that call for a heavier classification, the BEST EHD9000 Series is an extra heavy-duty Grade 1 closer with sizes 1-6, the Sargent 1431 Powerglide is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer, and the Sargent 281 Powerglide uses a cast iron body at heavy duty Grade 1.
7) I do not want the door staying open on a fire-rated corridor. What should I use instead of a hold open closer?
The Orca BHDC2011 is built around a hold open arm, so a door on it can be parked open. Where the door must close every time, choose a non-hold-open tri-pack closer instead: the Accentra 2701 Series is a tri-packed non-hold-open arm closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-6, and the Design Hardware 416 Series is a heavy duty tri-packed non-hold-open arm closer. The Accentra 1101BF is also non-hold-open but adjusts only through sizes 1-4.
8) The Orca BHDC2011 has an exposed arm. What closer should I look at if the spec calls for a slide track?
The Orca BHDC2011 ships with a parallel arm bracket and mounts regular arm pull side, parallel arm push side, or top jamb push side. If the drawing calls for a track arm instead, the Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a slide track arm as 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 with size 1-6 adjustment.
9) Can this closer swing a door to 180 degrees without the arm binding?
It is rated for a 180 degree opening. On a parallel arm push side mount the wall or adjacent return usually limits swing before the closer does, so check your clearance. Adjustable back-check is built in to slow the door before it reaches the stop and protect the frame in wind or heavy pull.
10) Does the Orca BHDC2011 come with a cover, and what if I want a closer without one?
The Orca BHDC2011 includes a full plastic cover, offered in aluminum and Duronodic bronze. If you prefer a closer supplied less cover, the Arrow DCN314 and DCN325 are Grade 1 surface closers furnished less cover with regular and parallel arm tri-pack mounting, the DCN314 adjusting through sizes 1-4 and the DCN325 through sizes 1-6. For another full-cover tri-mount option, the Dexter DCH1000 Series is a Grade 1 tri-mount closer with a full cover.
11) Is there a lighter duty alternative for interior office doors that see little traffic?
The Orca BHDC2011 is a commercial Grade 1 closer adjustable through sizes 1-6. If the opening is a low-traffic interior door, light duty Grade 1 options include the BEST SL6000 Series and the Norton Rixson 160 Series, both Grade 1 light duty surface closers, and the LCN 1250 Series, a light duty closer with sizes 1-5 and all-weather fluid. The Falcon SC91A is light duty at Grade 3.
12) Will a Grade 2 closer work in place of the Orca BHDC2011?
Not if the spec is written to Grade 1. The Orca BHDC2011 is BHMA certified Grade 1 to ANSI 156.4 and UL Listed. The Cal-Royal 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic closer, a different certification level. Cal-Royal Grade 1 options that stay at the same grade include the 500S barrier free closer with adjustable back-check and the 700S dual valve sized closer.
13) Which alternatives cover ADA barrier-free openings like the Orca BHDC2011 does?
The Orca BHDC2011 is adjustable for barrier-free compliance with an adjustable back-check. Peers built for the same requirement include the Cal-Royal N900PBF barrier free Grade 1 hydraulic closer, the Calibre CA4001 with adjustable spring tension for ADA, the Calibre CA9901 tri-pack arm size 2-5 ADA closer, and the LCN 1250, an ADA compliant light duty closer.
14) Which items in the door closer lineup are not substitutes for the Orca BHDC2011?
The Orca BHDC2011 is a complete surface mounted door closer with arm and parallel bracket. Some catalog neighbors are accessories or unrelated hardware rather than closers: the Arrow DCN500DP parallel drop plate is a mounting plate for the DCN500, the Stanley 327 and 341 are wardrobe pivots for 1-3/8 inch and 1-1/8 to 1-3/8 inch doors, and the Stanley 57-0100 is a box of steel machine screws for architectural hinges. None of these will close a door on their own.
15) We are standardizing a multi-family property on 1-3/4 inch doors. Which closers match the Orca BHDC2011 on door thickness?
The Orca BHDC2011 is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors and is suited to office buildings, shopping centers, mixed-use buildings and multi-family residences. Grade 1 peers listed for the same 1-3/4 inch door thickness include the Corbin Russwin DC3200 regular arm surface closer, the DC6200 double lever regular arm pull side closer, and the DC8200 double lever regular arm pull side closer, so a mixed fleet can stay on one door thickness across brands.
16) Is this Orca closer rated for residential use or is it commercial only?
It is a commercial closer, sold six per case, and typically spec'd for office buildings, shopping centers, mixed-use and multi-family common doors. For a single interior residential door it is more closer than the opening needs, but it is the right choice for apartment corridor and entry doors.
17) What is the difference between the Orca BHDC2011 and a medium duty closer like the Sargent 1131?
The Orca BHDC2011 is a Grade 1 closer with a heavy duty cast aluminum body, needle-bearing operation and a hold open arm, rated for interior doors up to 60 inches and exterior doors up to 48 inches. The Sargent 1131 is a Grade 1 medium duty adjustable surface closer aimed at medium-traffic commercial applications, and the Sargent 1331 is a Grade 1 medium duty closer with a universal aluminum body. Duty classification is the practical difference to check against your traffic count.
