PDQ 5300 Series Grade 1 Commercial Door Closer, Slim Cover

Grade 1 Commercial Door Closer with Slim Cover

The PDQ 5300 Series is a Grade 1 commercial surface door closer certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4, with a high strength cast aluminum alloy body and a streamline slim plastic cover. The slim, non-handed cover gives a lower, less bulky look than a full cover closer, which suits interior doors and anywhere a large closer body looks out of place.

Spring power is adjustable from BF through size 6, with hydraulic controlled closing and a separate hydraulic backcheck as standard, plus optional adjustable delayed action. The closer is tri-packed for regular, top jamb and parallel arm mounting, and its 12" x 3/4" mounting hole pattern retrofits Norton 8300/8500 and Accentra (Yale) 3300/3500 closers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose the 5300 over the full cover 5500 closer?
The 5300 uses a slim profile plastic cover instead of the 5500's full cover, giving a lower, less bulky appearance. Both share the Grade 1 rating, cast aluminum body and BF through 6 spring range.

Is the 5300 closer cover handed?
No. The streamline cover is non-handed, so the same closer can be installed on left or right hand doors.

Will the 5300 fit existing Norton or Yale closer mounting holes?
Yes. Its 12" x 3/4" mounting hole pattern retrofits Norton 8300/8500 and Accentra (Yale) 3300/3500 closers.

PDQ 5301BCPA689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the PDQ 5300 closer fit my existing Norton or Yale closer mounting holes?
Yes. The 5300's 12 inch by 3/4 inch mounting hole pattern retrofits Norton 8300/8500 and Accentra (Yale) 3300/3500 closers, so you can reuse the existing holes in the door or frame instead of re-drilling. That makes it a straight swap on openings already running those closers.
2) Do I have to order a left hand and right hand version of the PDQ 5300 door closer?
No. The 5300 is non-handed, including the streamline slim cover, so the same unit installs on a left or right hand door. For a property manager stocking spares across a building that means one part number covers every swing.
3) Can the PDQ 5300 be used on a labeled fire door?
Yes. The 5300 is UL listed for labeled swinging fire doors rated up to and including 3 hours, and it is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1. It also complies with ADA and ICC/ANSI A117.1, which matters if your facility is inspected on accessible opening force. Note that if you need the closer to hold the door open, a hold open arm is generally not permitted on a labeled fire door opening.
4) Does the PDQ 5300 come set up for regular, top jamb or parallel arm mounting?
The tri-pack version ships with hardware for all three: regular (pull side), top jamb, and parallel arm, so you decide at the door. Sex nuts and bolts plus self drilling self tapping screws are included. On top jamb mounting the closer handles a frame reveal up to 4 inches; beyond that you need a drop plate.
5) How do I set the closing force on the PDQ 5300 for a lighter interior door?
Spring power is adjustable from BF (barrier free) through size 6 on the same closer, so one unit covers a light interior office door up to a heavy exterior-width door. Closing speed is hydraulically controlled and a separate hydraulic backcheck is standard to stop the door being thrown open into the frame. Adjustable delayed action is optional (the 41 option) and is what you want on openings where people need extra time to get through.
6) Which arm should I order on a PDQ 5300 if the door has no wall stop?
Use one of the stop arms. The Door Saver Arm (Parallel Stop) and Door Saver w/Spring Cushion Stop build the stop into the arm, so the arm takes the abuse instead of the door or the closer. Spring cushion versions soften the hit. Hold open equivalents are available in both. If the opening has a short head frame or you want the arm out of sight, the Track Arm or Track Arm Hold Open is the lower profile choice; there is also a Pivot Stop Arm and Extra Duty Parallel Arm for abusive traffic.
7) What else do I need to specify when ordering a PDQ 5300 closer?
Beyond finish and arm type you choose: delayed action (01 non-delayed or 41 delayed), back plate (BP), blade stop spacer (BS), top jamb drop plate (DPTJ, which also serves as the parallel arm drop plate on the 5300), narrow frame bracket (NFB, the parallel arm non-hold-open bracket), and self drilling self tapping screws (SDST). Each combination carries its own PDQ part number, for example 5301BCPA605.
8) Parallel arm mount on an aluminum storefront with a narrow head rail - what does the PDQ 5300 need?
Order the Narrow Frame Bracket (NFB), which is the parallel arm non-hold-open bracket used where the frame head is too narrow for the standard shoe. If the soffit still does not give you enough mounting surface, the DPTJ drop plate doubles as the parallel arm drop plate on the 5300. A blade stop spacer (BS) is what you add when the frame has a blade stop in the way.
9) PDQ 5300 or 5500 - what is the actual difference?
Cover only, in practical terms. The 5300 wears a streamline slim plastic cover that sits lower and looks less bulky, which is why it gets used on interior and finish-sensitive openings. The 5500 uses a full cover. Both are Grade 1, both have the cast high strength aluminum alloy body, and both adjust BF through 6.
10) Is the PDQ 5300 heavy enough for a stairwell or corridor door that gets constant use?
It is rated heavy duty and Grade 1 under ANSI/BHMA A156.4, with a cast high strength aluminum alloy body, so corridor and stairwell traffic is within its range. For doors that get kicked or wind-loaded, pair it with the Extra Duty Parallel Arm or a Door Saver stop arm rather than relying on a wall stop.
11) Is the PDQ 5300 door closer TAA compliant for a government job?
Yes, the 5300 is TAA compliant, and it also carries ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 certification plus ADA and ICC/ANSI A117.1 compliance, which is the usual package a government or institutional spec asks for on a surface closer.
12) What finishes does the PDQ 5300 door closer come in?
Six: 605 Bright Brass, 625 Bright Chrome, 689 Aluminum, 693 Black, 695 Duro Bronze, and 696 Gold. 689 and 693 are the usual choices for matching existing commercial interior hardware, 605 and 696 for brass-trimmed openings.
