Stanley Security QDC113 M 689 LH – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Stanley Security QDC113 closer bolt straight into an existing LCN 4040 prep?
Yes. The QDC100 Series shares the same footprint, bolt pattern and rounded cover as the LCN 4040, so it goes on as a direct off-and-on exchange with no re-prep of the door or frame. That is the main reason it gets specified on retrofit work in schools and industrial buildings where the openings were originally done with 4040s.
2) What door widths will a QDC113 door closer handle, interior and exterior?
Sized 1 through 6, the QDC113 covers 30 to 48 inch interior doors and 32 to 48 inch exterior doors. The wider spring range is why one closer works across a mixed building: the same unit can be turned down for a light interior office door and turned up for an exterior door fighting wind load.
3) Is the QDC113 closer handed, and do I have to know the door swing before I order?
The closer body itself is non-handed and universal mount, so one unit works either hand. Handing is still called out as a left or right choice when ordering the QDC113 with the extra duty arm and metal cover, so confirm the swing of the opening. Note that the handed part of the family is the arm and metal cover, not the closer body, which is what makes this line easy for a property manager or distributor to stock.
4) Can the QDC113 be mounted on the push side of a door, or is it pull side only?
Both. Mounting is pull side or push side, and it lands on wood, aluminum or hollow metal doors and frames. That covers regular arm on the pull side, and push side parallel or top jamb work where the door swings out into a corridor and you cannot leave the closer exposed on the outside face.
5) Is the QDC113 door closer fire rated and ADA compliant?
It is UL and cUL listed to UL10c and UL10b, certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4, and meets ANSI A117.1 for accessibility. For an institutional or MRO buyer standardizing a facility, that combination is what lets the same closer go on rated corridor and stair doors as well as accessible-route openings. A Barrier Free option is orderable for openings where the reduced opening force matters.
6) I need a closer that holds the door open. Is the QDC113 extra duty arm a hold open arm?
The QDC113 is built with the extra duty arm with compression stop, which is a stop arm, not a hold open. If you specifically need the door to stay parked open, look at a hold open arm closer instead: the Accentra 51 Series and the Orca BHDC1958 HO both list a hold open arm. The QDC100 Series does offer ten arm options across the family covering different arm and stop types, so the platform can be specified either way, but a compression stop arm resists the door being over-swung rather than holding it.
7) What is a direct heavy duty Grade 1 replacement for a Stanley QDC113 cast iron closer?
The QDC113 is an ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 heavy duty surface closer with cast iron body construction and an adjustable range of sizes 1 to 6. Peers built to the same duty and grade include the BEST EHD9000 Series extra heavy-duty surface closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-6, the BEST HD8000 Series heavy duty surface closer with Grade 1 certification, the Sargent 1431 Powerglide heavy-duty surface closer with adjustable spring power, and the Falcon SC71A Series heavy-duty surface closer. The Sargent 281 Powerglide is also a heavy duty Grade 1 closer with cast iron construction, matching the QDC113 body material as well as its grade.
8) I only need a closer for an interior office door with light traffic - is the QDC113 more closer than I need?
The QDC113 is a heavy duty Grade 1 closer with cast iron construction, built for institutional and industrial applications. For a lighter interior opening, Grade 1 closers rated light duty include the BEST SL6000 Series with adjustable spring sizes, the Arrow DC314 in the DC300 Series, and the Norton Rixson 160 Series light commercial surface closer. The LCN 1250 Series is a light duty closer covering sizes 1-5 with all-weather fluid and ADA compliance. The Falcon SC91A is a light duty cast aluminum closer built to Grade 3 rather than Grade 1, so confirm your specification allows it before substituting.
9) The door already has an LCN 4040 pattern drilled - what closers besides the QDC113 will drop onto it?
The QDC113 uses the same footprint, bolt pattern and rounded cover as the LCN 4040, so it goes on without re-prepping the door. If you want to stay inside the LCN line for that opening, the LCN 1460T is a heavy duty surface-mounted Grade 1 commercial closer in a powder coat finish, and the LCN 1261 is a cast iron surface closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-5 rated light to medium duty. Neither of those is stated to share the 4040 pattern, so verify the mounting holes on the door before ordering if reusing the existing prep is the deciding factor - the QDC113 is the one this set identifies as the off-and-on exchange.
10) My opening needs a slide track or jamb track closer rather than a projecting arm - what should I use instead of the QDC113?
The QDC113 is supplied with an extra duty arm and mounts pull side or push side with a projecting arm. For a track application, the Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a slide track arm standard, pull side mounting, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer with a jamb track, frame face mounting, pull side, adjustable size 1-6. Both change the arm geometry at the head of the door, so the header prep and any overhead stop coordination differ from a projecting arm closer.
11) I need the door to stay open on its own - does the QDC113 do that, or do I need a different closer?
The QDC113 is offered with an extra duty arm with compress and delayed action as a security performance option, which slows the closing cycle but is not a mechanical hold open. When the opening needs the door to stand open, choose a closer specified with a hold open arm: the Accentra 51 Series is an industrial closer with a tri-packed hold open arm covering sizes 1-6, and the Orca Hardware BHDC1958HO/PA is a hold open closer with a parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors. Hold open on a fire-rated opening has separate code requirements, so confirm the arm type against the door schedule.
12) Is a Grade 2 closer like the Cal-Royal 400 an acceptable substitute for the QDC113?
No - the two are certified at different levels. The QDC113 is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 and UL/cUL listed to UL10c and UL10b, while the Cal-Royal 400 Series commercial hydraulic closer is Grade 2. If your specification or fire door schedule calls for Grade 1, Cal-Royal's own Grade 1 offerings are the closer match: the 500S barrier free closer with adjustable back-check, the 700S dual valve sized closer with adjustable tube arm, and the N900PBF barrier free hydraulic closer in the 900 Series.
13) Do I need to order fasteners separately for a QDC113 closer, or does it come with what I need?
Wood and machine screws come standard, and sex nuts plus self-reaming, self-tapping screws are standard as well. That means a hollow metal door does not need a separate drill-and-tap kit, and a wood door being thru-bolted is covered without a second line on the order.
14) What choices do I actually have to make when ordering a QDC113 closer?
Four: finish, handing, whether you want the Barrier Free option, and the cover. Finishes are 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze and 696 satin brass. Handing is left or right. Options are Barrier Free or none. Cover choice includes the full-size rounded plastic cover. Spring power does not need to be specified, since the closer is field adjustable across sizes 1 through 6.
15) Cast iron versus aluminum door closer body: which should I use on a high-traffic institutional door?
Cast iron for that job, which is what the QDC100 body is, along with a cold-forged pinion shaft and forged steel arms. Aluminum-bodied closers exist for lighter service, and among comparable units the Falcon SC81A and SC91A are cast aluminum in medium and light duty. If the opening sees constant abuse, a school entry, a gym, a loading corridor, the heavy duty cast iron unit is the one that holds up. Staked valves also stop the oil leaks you get when someone backs an adjustment screw out too far.
16) What are the closest heavy duty Grade 1 alternatives to the Stanley QDC113 door closer?
Straight cross-brand equivalents in heavy duty Grade 1 include the BEST EHD9000 and HD8000 Series, the Sargent 1431 Powerglide and the Sargent 281 cast iron closer, and the Falcon SC71A. The LCN 1460T is another heavy duty option. Where the QDC113 separates itself is the LCN 4040 footprint match, so if you are replacing 4040s and want to skip re-prepping doors, the QDC is the one that drops in.
17) Do I need a delayed action closer, or is that an extra I have to order on the QDC?
Delayed action is available as a premium option on the QDC100 Series, and the back check valve is standard rather than an add. Delayed action is what you want on a door people move through slowly, a healthcare corridor or a door used with carts and wheelchairs, since it holds the door open longer before the close cycle starts. Back check protects the closer and the door when someone throws it open hard against wind or a doorstop.
18) Will this closer work on an exterior door that sees freezing winters?
Yes, the QDC100 is engineered with all-weather fluid, so the closing speed does not go sluggish in cold or run away in heat. Paired with the 32 to 48 inch exterior door range and the adjustable size 1 to 6 spring, it is a workable exterior entry closer rather than an interior-only unit.
19) Can I standardize one closer across a whole building instead of stocking several?
That is what the QDC100 platform is built for. The body is non-handed and universal mount, spring power adjusts across sizes 1 through 6, and it mounts pull or push side on wood, aluminum or hollow metal. One part number on the shelf covers 30 to 48 inch interior and 32 to 48 inch exterior openings in either hand, which cuts a property manager's or MRO stockroom's SKU count hard. Finishes are limited to three, 689, 690 and 696, so match the existing hardware before committing a building-wide order.
20) Can I standardize a facility on one non-handed closer, or does the QDC113 have to be ordered by hand?
The QDC113 body is non-handed and universal mount, which is what makes it straightforward to stock across a building, and it is offered in aluminum 689, dark bronze 690 and satin brass 696 with left and right options as well as barrier free. For a facility program with mixed door weights, the BEST line runs three duty levels on the same Grade 1 basis - HD7000 medium duty, HD8000 heavy duty, and EHD9000 extra heavy-duty with adjustable spring sizes 1-6 - so a single brand covers interior and exterior leaves. The Norton Rixson 8501A is a Grade 1 tri-mount closer with an adjustable size 1-6 spring, another way to hold one part number across regular, parallel and top jamb conditions.
21) What is the difference between the QDC113 and a medium duty Grade 1 closer for an interior corridor?
Both carry the same Grade 1 certification, so the difference is the duty rating and the body. The QDC113 is heavy duty with cast iron construction, a cold-forged pinion shaft and forged steel arms, sized 1 to 6, for doors 30 to 48 inches interior and 32 to 48 inches exterior. Medium duty Grade 1 alternatives include the Sargent 1131 for medium-traffic commercial applications, the Sargent 1331 with a universal aluminum body, the Norton Rixson 1601P tri-mount closer with 180 degree swing, and the Dormakaba 7414 in the 7400 Series. The medium duty units suit lighter interior traffic; the heavy duty cast iron body is what the QDC113 brings to high-cycle institutional openings.
22) The QDC113 comes with a full-size cover - what if I need a closer with no cover or a low-profile flat arm?
The QDC113 is supplied with a full-size cover and its arm projects from the door. Where a cover is not wanted, the Arrow DCN325 is a Grade 1 surface closer supplied less cover with a regular/parallel tri-pack arm and adjustable spring size 1 to 6, and the Arrow DCN314 is the same less-cover configuration in size 1 to 4. For a flatter arm profile, the Dormakaba 8616 AF86P is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer with a flat arm, non-hold open, tri-pack, and the Dorma 8916-JT uses a flat non-hold open arm. Flat arm and less-cover units change the look at the head of the door and the parallel arm bracket detail.
23) I ordered a QDC113 but I actually needed a drop plate - is the Arrow DCN500DP the same thing?
No. The QDC113 is a complete surface mounted door closer, non-handed, supplied with wood and machine screws standard plus sex nuts and self-reaming, self-tapping screws. The Arrow DCN500DP1 is a parallel drop plate for the DCN500, a mounting bracket that adapts a closer to the frame, not a closer itself. A drop plate is ordered in addition to a closer when the top rail or frame face will not accept the shoe directly.
24) What heavy duty closers compare to the QDC113 for a barrier free ADA opening?
The QDC113 is offered with a barrier free option and is built to ANSI A117.1 alongside ANSI/BHMA A156.4. Comparable heavy duty closers specified for ADA openings include the Imperial USA TC4300 Series, a Grade 1 heavy duty size 1-6 ADA closer, and the Design Hardware 416 Series and 116 Series, both heavy duty with a tri-packed non-hold open arm. The Calibre CA9901 is a Grade 1 tri-pack arm closer sized 2-5 for ADA surface mounting, which narrows the spring range compared with the QDC113 range of 1 to 6.
25) Which closers should I look at for an aluminum storefront door instead of the QDC113?
The QDC113 mounts to wood, aluminum, or hollow metal doors and frames, so it is a candidate for aluminum openings. If you want a closer purpose-built for that condition, the Norton Rixson 1600BC Series is a heavy duty Grade 1 aluminum storefront closer with tri-style mounting. The Dexter DCH1000 is a Grade 1 surface closer with tri mount for regular, parallel or top jamb mounting and a full cover, and the Dexter DCH4000 is the same tri mount arrangement. Narrow top rails on storefront often decide the mounting style, so check the rail height before choosing between them.
26) Does Corbin Russwin make a Grade 1 closer that lines up with the QDC113 on a 1-3/4 inch door?
Corbin Russwin offers several Grade 1 surface closers rated for 1-3/4 inch doors: the DC3200 with a regular arm and surface mounting, the DC6200 with a double lever regular arm and pull side mounting, and the DC8200 with the same double lever regular arm and pull side mounting. The QDC113 differs in mounting flexibility - it is non-handed and mounts pull side or push side, and covers doors 30 to 48 inches interior and 32 to 48 inches exterior.
27) The QDC113 uses an extra duty arm - what tri-pack arm closers cover regular, parallel and top jamb from one box?
The QDC113 is built with an extra duty arm and the QDC100 line also offers a tri-pack arm across its arm options. Tri-pack closers that ship to cover more than one mounting position include the Accentra 2701 Series architectural closer with tri-pack mounting and adjustable spring sizes 1-6, the Accentra 1101BF industrial closer with tri-pack mounting and sizes 1-4, the Design Hardware 316 Series with a tri-packed non-hold open arm for medium to heavy duty, and the Dexter DCM1000 Grade 1 tri mount closer for regular, parallel or top jamb mounting. A tri-pack lets one stocked part number serve openings that would otherwise need separate arm orders.
28) Is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer overkill for a light interior office door?
It can be. The QDC113 is heavy duty Grade 1 cast iron aimed at institutional and industrial traffic. On a low-traffic interior door a lighter Grade 1 unit does the job, and the Arrow DC314, the BEST SL6000 and the Norton Rixson 160 Series are all light duty Grade 1 options. The counter-argument for the QDC on interior doors is standardization: if the rest of the building is on QDC, matching it avoids stocking two closers.
29) What finishes does the QDC113 door closer come in, and will 689 match my existing closers?
Three: 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze and 696 satin brass, and all three are available in both left and right hand. 689 aluminum is the standard commercial painted aluminum finish that most existing closers in an office or school building will already be, so it is the usual match on a replacement. Dark bronze 690 is the one to pick against bronze storefront and dark anodized frames.
