Stanley Security QDC113 R 689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Stanley QDC113 closer bolt onto the holes left by an LCN 4040 without re-prepping the door?
Yes. The QDC100 Series shares the same footprint, bolt pattern and rounded cover as the LCN 4040, so it goes on as a straight off-and-on exchange with no new drilling. That makes it the usual pick when you are replacing failed 4040s across a building and do not want to patch and re-prep leaves. Note the cover on the R option is full-size rounded plastic, not metal.
2) What door widths will a QDC113 Grade 1 closer handle, inside and outside?
Interior openings from 30 to 48 inches, exterior from 32 to 48 inches. Spring power is adjustable across sizes 1 through 6, so one closer covers a light interior office door and an exterior entrance on the same order. Sizing up within that range is how you get a wind-loaded exterior leaf to latch; back off toward size 1 on a narrow interior door where opening force matters.
3) Do I have to order a QDC113 door closer handed for left or right doors?
No, it's non-handed, so one unit works on either hand and you can stock a single part number for a whole building. The exception in the family is the QDC116 arms, which are handed and come with metal covers. Mounting is also universal: pull side or push side, regular or parallel, on the same closer.
4) Can a QDC113 closer be used on a fire rated door assembly?
Yes. The QDC113 is UL and cUL listed to UL10c and UL10b, and it certifies to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 at Grade 1 plus ANSI A117.1. That combination is what a facility inspector wants to see on a rated corridor or stair door. Order the closer without hold open for a fire door, since a rated assembly has to self-close and latch.
5) Will a QDC113 mount on an aluminum storefront door, or is it only for hollow metal?
It mounts to wood, aluminum, or hollow metal doors and frames. Fasteners cover all three cases out of the box: wood and machine screws are standard, and sex nuts plus self-reaming, self-tapping screws are standard too. The sex nuts are what you use through a wood door leaf, and the self-tapping screws are for hollow metal frame face. On an aluminum storefront, check the top rail depth before you commit, since narrow-rail doors often need a slide track closer instead.
6) What are the closest heavy duty Grade 1 alternatives if I cannot get the Stanley QDC113?
Staying heavy duty and Grade 1, the BEST EHD9000 Series and BEST HD8000 Series both adjust across sizes 1-6, and the Sargent 281 Powerglide is also a cast iron heavy duty Grade 1 body. Falcon SC71A and the Sargent 1431 Powerglide are heavy duty Grade 1 as well. Where the QDC113 stands apart is the LCN 4040 footprint and bolt pattern match, so if the job is a drop-in replacement of existing 4040s, the substitutes will likely mean new prep.
7) What is the closest heavy duty Grade 1 cast iron surface closer to the Stanley QDC113 if I need a different brand?
The Sargent 281 Powerglide is a heavy duty Grade 1 surface door closer with cast iron construction, which matches the QDC113 on duty level, grade and body material. The BEST HD8000 Series and the Falcon SC71A Series are also heavy duty Grade 1 surface closers. All three sit in the same heavy duty Grade 1 class the QDC113 occupies, so they are the natural cross-brand equivalents for institutional and industrial openings.
8) The QDC113 arm projects into the opening and I need a concealed track instead - what closer should I use?
The QDC113 uses an extra duty arm mounted pull side or push side. For an opening that needs a track arm rather than a projecting arm, the Corbin Russwin DC5230 Series is a Grade 1 surface closer with a slide track arm standard, pull side mounting, and the Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty surface closer with jamb track, frame face mounting on the pull side, adjustable size 1 to 6. Both keep the Grade 1 rating while changing the arm geometry at the opening.
9) Is the Cal-Royal 400 Series an acceptable swap for the Stanley QDC113 on a spec that calls for Grade 1?
No. The Cal-Royal 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic door closer, while the QDC113 is Grade 1 to ANSI/BHMA A156.4. If the drawing or the facility standard calls for Grade 1, the 400 Series does not meet it. Within Cal-Royal, the 500S and the 700S Series are both Grade 1, and the N900PBF is a Grade 1 hydraulic barrier free surface closer.
10) I need a hold open arm instead of the QDC113 extra duty arm with compress - what closer gives me that?
The QDC113 ships with an extra duty arm with compress, which is a non hold open arm. For a hold open function, the Accentra 51 Series is an industrial door closer with a tri-packed hold open arm and adjustable size 1 to 6, and the Orca Hardware BHDC1958HO is a hold open door closer with a parallel bracket and a tri-packed hold open arm. Both give you mechanical hold open rather than the standard closing arm.
11) The QDC113 replaces an LCN 4040 footprint - what LCN closer is the heavy duty equivalent if I stay with LCN?
The QDC113 shares the same footprint, bolt pattern and rounded cover as the LCN 4040, so it goes on without re-prepping the door. Staying within LCN, the 1460T Series is the heavy duty surface mounted closer, Grade 1 commercial with a powder coat finish. The LCN 1261 is light to medium duty with cast iron construction and adjustable spring sizes 1 to 5, and the LCN 1450 is medium duty cast aluminum with spring sizes 1 to 6.
12) What does the Barrier Free option on the QDC113 actually get me?
Barrier Free is the low opening force setup for accessible openings, and it is one of two choices on the order form alongside None. The closer already certifies to ANSI A117.1, the accessibility standard, so Barrier Free is how you configure it for an interior door that has to meet a reduced push force. Both option choices are offered in all three finishes: 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze and 696 satin brass.
13) Is a cast iron door closer worth it over a cast aluminum one for a school or a plant?
On high-abuse openings, yes. The QDC100 body is cast iron with a cold-forged pinion shaft and forged steel arms, and the valves are staked so an over-backed-out adjustment screw cannot start an oil leak. All-weather fluid keeps the sweep speed consistent through temperature swings on an exterior door. Cast aluminum bodies, like the Falcon SC81A medium duty or the LCN 1450, are lighter duty answers for lower-traffic interior doors.
14) Does the QDC113 come with delayed action and backcheck, or are those extra?
A back check valve is standard on the QDC100 Series, and delayed action is among the available performance options. Backcheck is what protects the closer and the frame when someone throws the door open on a windy exterior entrance; delayed action buys time on an opening where carts, gurneys or residents need longer to clear the swing. Both are typical asks on institutional and industrial openings, which is what this closer is built for.
15) Should I spec a heavy duty closer or a medium duty one for a mid-rise apartment corridor?
Corridor doors in multi-family see constant cycling but light abuse, and a medium duty Grade 1 closer such as the Norton Rixson 8501A or the Sargent 1131 is usually specified there. The QDC113 is heavy duty and built for institutional and industrial traffic, which is where it earns its cast iron body: stair towers, exterior entrances, gym and shop doors, anywhere the leaf gets kicked open. If you want a single part number across both conditions, the QDC113 does it, since it adjusts sizes 1 through 6 and is non-handed.
16) How many arm and stop combinations does the QDC100 family offer, and what is on the QDC113?
Ten arm options across the family, spanning different arm and stop types, built on two arm types: a tri-pack arm and an extra duty arm. The QDC113 is the extra duty arm with compress stop, meaning the stop is built into the arm and takes the shock of the door hitting the limit of swing. That is what you want where there is no wall stop or floor stop to catch the leaf, and where users routinely over-swing the door.
17) Which surface closers other than the QDC113 offer a factory barrier free option?
The QDC113 is offered with a Barrier Free option and is listed to ANSI A117.1. Among comparable Grade 1 closers, the Cal-Royal 500S is a Grade 1 barrier free door closer with adjustable back-check, and the Cal-Royal N900PBF is a Grade 1 barrier free surface door closer. The Calibre CA9901 is a Grade 1 tri-pack arm ADA surface mount closer in sizes 2 to 5, and the Imperial USA TC4300 is a heavy duty size 1 to 6 ADA closer.
18) I need a size 1 to 6 adjustable closer but the opening is interior and low traffic - what is lighter than the QDC113?
The QDC113 is a heavy duty closer with an adjustable spring range of size 1 to 6. If the opening does not need heavy duty spring power, the Arrow DCN325 is a Grade 1 surface closer with an adjustable spring size 1 to 6 at a light duty level, and the BEST SL6000 Series is a Grade 1 light duty surface closer with adjustable spring sizes. Both cover the same size range with a lighter build.
19) What is the difference between the Falcon SC91A and the QDC113 for a commercial opening?
The Falcon SC91A Series is a light duty cast aluminum surface closer rated Grade 3. The Stanley QDC113 is heavy duty and Grade 1 with cast iron construction. They are built for different traffic levels and certified to different grades, so the SC91A is not a like-for-like replacement on an opening specified for a Grade 1 heavy duty closer. The Falcon SC71A Series is the heavy duty Grade 1 closer in that brand line.
20) For a medium traffic interior office door, what is a step down from a heavy duty QDC113 that is still Grade 1?
The QDC113 is heavy duty and rated for interior doors 30 to 48 inches wide. For medium traffic openings the Sargent 1131 is a Grade 1 adjustable surface closer for medium-traffic commercial applications, the Norton Rixson 8501A is a Grade 1 medium duty tri-mount closer with adjustable size 1 to 6 spring, and the BEST HD7000 Series is a Grade 1 medium duty surface closer with adjustable spring power and backcheck control. All three hold Grade 1 at a medium duty level.
21) The QDC113 comes with a full-size rounded plastic cover - what heavy duty closer can I buy without a cover?
Every QDC113 configuration is supplied with the R full-size rounded plastic cover. If the job calls for a closer supplied less cover, the Arrow DCN325 is a Grade 1 surface closer, less cover, with regular and parallel arm tri-pack and adjustable spring size 1 to 6, and the Arrow DCN314 is the same less-cover arrangement in spring size 1 to 4.
22) Does the Arrow DCN500DP drop plate work with the Stanley QDC113?
No. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate made for the Arrow DCN500, not a door closer and not a QDC113 accessory. The QDC113 is a complete surface mounted closer supplied with wood and machine screws standard plus sex nuts and self-reaming, self-tapping screws, for wood, aluminum or hollow metal doors and frames.
23) I need a non-handed closer I can stock for both left and right hand doors - is there an alternative to the QDC113?
The QDC113 is non-handed, so one unit covers both hands. The Norton Rixson 1600 Series is a Grade 1 surface closer with tri-mount design and 180 degree swing, the Dexter DCH1000 Series is a Grade 1 surface closer with tri mount for regular, parallel or top jamb mounting and a full cover, and the Design Hardware 416 Series is a heavy duty closer with a tri-packed non-hold open arm. Tri-mount packing gives the same one-part-fits-more-openings stocking benefit.
24) For a fire rated opening needing a heavy duty Grade 1 closer, what else compares with the QDC113?
The QDC113 is UL/cUL listed to UL10c and UL10b and certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4. Comparable heavy duty Grade 1 surface closers include the BEST EHD9000 Series with adjustable spring sizes 1 to 6, the Sargent 1431 Powerglide with adjustable spring power, and the Norton Rixson 1600BC aluminum storefront closer with tri-style mounting. Confirm the fire listing required for your specific opening with the closer you select.
25) What is the difference between the Stanley QDC113 and the Dormakaba 7303 and 7414 closers?
The QDC113 is a heavy duty Grade 1 closer with cast iron body and an adjustable size 1 to 6 spring range. The DORMA 7303 Series is a surface-mounted standard duty closer, medium duty and Grade 1, and the Dormakaba 7414 is a medium duty Grade 1 closer in size 1 to 4. The 7400 line tops out at size 4, so for openings needing size 5 or 6 spring power the QDC113 covers a range those two do not.
26) Which finish do I order to match existing closers, and what are the options?
Three finishes, all offered on the full-size rounded plastic cover: 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, and 696 satin brass. 689 is the default painted aluminum most commercial buildings already run, so it is the safe match on a partial replacement program; 690 goes with dark bronze storefront and anodized frames. If your existing covers are metal rather than plastic, that is the QDC116 side of the family.
27) Is the QDC113 door closer rated for commercial use or is it a residential unit?
Commercial only. It's a Grade 1 heavy duty surface closer certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4, aimed at institutional and industrial buildings, and the cast iron body and forged steel arms are sized for that traffic. For a house or light residential interior door it's more closer than the opening needs, and the spring power at sizes 1 through 6 is set up for commercial leaf widths of 30 inches and up.
