Stanley Security QDC116 M 689 LH – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I swap an LCN 4040 door closer for the QDC116 without re-prepping the door?
Yes. The QDC100 family, which the QDC116 belongs to, uses the same footprint, bolt pattern and rounded cover as the LCN4040, so it goes on as a direct off-and-on exchange with no new drilling. Note that the QDC116 ships with a handed extra duty arm and metal cover, so you order left or right hand to match the door.
2) What door widths will the QDC116 closer handle?
Spring power is adjustable across sizes 1 through 6, covering interior doors from 30 to 48 inches wide and exterior doors from 32 to 48 inches. That range is why a single closer can be stocked for most openings in a building and dialed in on site instead of ordering a fixed size per door.
3) Will this Stanley Security closer mount on an aluminum storefront or a hollow metal door?
It mounts to wood, aluminum, or hollow metal doors and frames, and can go on either the pull side or the push side. Fasteners cover those substrates too: wood and machine screws come standard, along with sex nuts and self-reaming, self-tapping screws.
4) Is the QDC116 door closer approved for use on a fire rated door?
It is UL and cUL listed to UL10c and UL10b, and certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 as a Grade 1 closer. It also meets ANSI A117.1, the accessibility standard, which matters when an inspector checks opening force on a public entrance.
5) What barrier free or ADA closers compare to the Stanley QDC116 Barrier Free option?
The QDC116 is offered with a Barrier Free option and is listed to ANSI A117.1. Comparable barrier free peers include the Cal-Royal 500S, a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check, and the Cal-Royal N900PBF barrier free Grade 1 hydraulic surface closer. On the ADA side, the Calibre CA9901 is a Grade 1 tri-pack arm ADA closer in sizes 2-5 and the Imperial USA TC4300 is a heavy duty size 1-6 ADA closer.
6) What is the closest heavy duty Grade 1 alternative to the Stanley Security QDC116 door closer?
The QDC116 is a Grade 1 heavy duty surface closer adjustable across sizes 1 to 6. Peers with the same heavy duty, Grade 1 pairing include the BEST EHD9000 Series, listed as extra heavy-duty with adjustable spring sizes 1-6, the BEST HD8000 Series heavy duty Grade 1 closer, the Sargent 1431 Powerglide heavy duty closer, and the Falcon SC71A heavy-duty surface-mount closer. Sargent's 281 Powerglide matches the QDC116 on cast iron body construction as well as heavy duty Grade 1 rating.
7) I need a hold open arm instead of the Stanley QDC116 extra duty arm with hold open - what else offers hold open?
The QDC116 is supplied with an extra duty arm with hold open. If a tri-packed hold open arm suits the opening better, the Accentra 51 Series is listed with a tri-packed hold open arm across sizes 1-6, and the Orca Hardware BHDC1958HO/PA is a hold open closer supplied with a parallel bracket for a 1-3/4 inch door.
8) The QDC116 arms are handed - is there a non-handed closer I can stock instead?
The QDC116 body is non-handed but its extra duty arms are handed and its covers are metal, so left and right are ordered separately. Closers listed with tri-pack or tri-mount arms cover regular, parallel and top jamb mounting from one carton: the Norton Rixson 8501A is a Grade 1 tri-mount closer adjustable size 1-6, the Accentra 2701 Series is a Grade 1-class architectural closer with tri-pack mounting and spring sizes 1-6, and the Dexter DCH1000 Series is a Grade 1 tri-mount closer with a full cover.
9) The QDC116 uses a standard arm - what should I use if the door needs a slide track or flat arm for a narrow projection?
The QDC116 carries an extra duty forged steel arm projecting from the closer body. Where a track or low-profile arm is required, the Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a slide track arm standard for pull side mounting, the Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty jamb track closer for frame face pull side mounting adjustable size 1-6, and the Dormakaba 8616 AF86P is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer with a flat non-hold open tri-pack arm.
10) I am replacing an LCN 4040 - besides the Stanley QDC116, what other cast iron heavy duty closers are in that class?
The QDC116 shares the same footprint, bolt pattern and rounded cover as the LCN 4040, so it goes on without re-prepping the door. Other cast iron or heavy duty closers in that class include the Sargent 281 Powerglide cast iron surface closer and the LCN 1460T heavy duty Grade 1 commercial closer in a powder coat finish. The LCN 1261 is also cast iron but is listed light to medium duty.
11) Can I use a Grade 2 closer like the Cal-Royal 400 where the QDC116 is specified?
Not if the drawing calls for Grade 1. The QDC116 is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 at Grade 1 and is UL/cUL listed to UL10c and UL10b, while the Cal-Royal 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic closer. If cost is the driver but the spec holds at Grade 1, the Cal-Royal 700S dual valve sized closer and the Calibre CA4001 adjustable spring tension closer are both Grade 1.
12) Is the Design Hardware 116 the same as the Stanley QDC116?
No. The part numbers look alike but they are different products from different manufacturers. The Stanley Security QDC116 is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer with a handed extra duty arm and hold open, adjustable sizes 1 to 6. The Design Hardware 116 Series is a separate heavy duty closer listed with a tri-packed non-hold open arm, so it does not hold the door open.
13) Does the QDC116 have hold open, and what if I don't want the door staying open?
The QDC116 configuration is the extra duty arm with hold open, so the door parks open at the set point. On a fire rated opening a mechanical hold open is not acceptable, so use a non-hold-open arm there instead. Delayed action and back check are available on the QDC100 platform, with back check standard.
14) Is a cast iron closer like the QDC116 worth it over an aluminum body closer?
For institutional and industrial traffic, yes. The QDC100 body is cast iron with a cold-forged pinion shaft and forged steel arms, rated Heavy Duty and Grade 1, and uses all-weather fluid so it doesn't slow down in a cold exterior opening. Staked valves keep adjustment screws from being backed out far enough to leak oil, which is the common failure on abused closers. For a light-traffic interior office door, a lighter option like the Falcon SC91A (Grade 3, light duty) or the BEST SL6000 Series (Grade 1, light duty) is the more sensible spend.
15) What is a lighter duty alternative to the Stanley QDC116 for a low traffic interior office door?
The QDC116 is a heavy duty closer built for institutional and industrial traffic. For lighter openings, the BEST SL6000 Series is a Grade 1 light duty surface closer with adjustable spring sizes, the Norton Rixson 160 Series is a Grade 1 light commercial closer with an adjustable spring, and the LCN 1250 Series is a light duty closer in sizes 1-5 with all-weather fluid. The BEST HD7000 Series sits in between as a medium duty Grade 1 closer with backcheck control.
16) Is the Arrow DC314 a substitute for the Stanley QDC116 since both are Grade 1?
Both are Grade 1 surface mounted closers, but they are not built for the same traffic. The QDC116 is rated heavy duty with cast iron body construction for institutional and industrial openings, while the Arrow DC314 is listed as light duty. The Arrow DCN314 and DCN325 are also light duty and ship less cover with a regular/parallel tri-pack arm, covering spring sizes 1-4 and 1-6 respectively, where the QDC116 comes with a full metal cover.
17) What closer should I look at instead of the Stanley QDC116 for an aluminum storefront door?
The QDC116 mounts to wood, aluminum, or hollow metal doors and frames on either the pull or push side, so it is a candidate on aluminum. Where a storefront-specific closer is preferred, the Norton Rixson 1600 Series aluminum storefront closer with tri-style mounting is heavy duty Grade 1, and the Norton Rixson 1601P is a Grade 1 tri-mount closer with 180 degree swing in medium duty.
18) The QDC116 is sized 1 to 6 - what if I only need a small fixed or low range spring for a light interior door?
The QDC116 adjusts across sizes 1 to 6 and covers 30 to 48 inch interior doors. For narrower low-power openings, the Calibre CA8001P is a Grade 1 size 1 parallel arm ADA closer, the Accentra 1101BF covers adjustable spring sizes 1-4 with tri-pack mounting, and the Dormakaba 7414 is a medium duty Grade 1 closer in size 1-4.
19) The QDC116 offers delayed action - which comparable closers list delayed action?
Delayed action is available on the Grade 1 QDC100 platform the QDC116 belongs to, along with a standard back check valve. Among peers, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958DA/PA and BHDC2011DA/PA are both delayed action closers with a regular arm and parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors.
20) What finishes does the QDC116 door closer come in?
Three: 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, and 696 satin brass, each available in left or right hand. If you're standardizing a building, 689 is the usual match for aluminum storefront and 690 for bronze-anodized entrances.
21) Is the QDC116 closer suitable for a residential front door?
It's built and classified for commercial use, sized 1 through 6 for doors 30 to 48 inches wide with heavy duty cast iron internals. It will work mechanically on a residential door in that width range, but it's specified for institutional and industrial traffic and priced and finished accordingly.
