Stanley Security QDC116 R 689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Stanley QDC116 door closer replace an LCN 4040 without re-prepping the door?
Yes. The QDC100 family shares the same footprint, bolt pattern and rounded cover as the LCN 4040, so it goes on as an off-and-on exchange with no new drilling. That is the main reason it gets specified on retrofit work in schools and industrial buildings where every door is already prepped for the 4040.
2) What door width can a Stanley QDC116 closer handle on an exterior opening?
Doors from 32 to 48 inches wide on exterior openings, and 30 to 48 inches on interior openings. Spring power is field adjustable through sizes 1 to 6, so one closer covers a light interior office door and a wide exterior entrance depending on how it is set.
3) Will the QDC116 closer mount on an aluminum storefront door, or only hollow metal?
Wood, aluminum and hollow metal doors and frames are all covered, and it can be mounted pull side or push side. Wood and machine screws come standard along with sex nuts and self-reaming, self-tapping screws, which is what you want for through-bolting a wood door or biting into aluminum tube.
4) Is this Stanley closer approved for a fire rated door?
The QDC116 is UL/cUL listed to UL10c and UL10b, and certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 as a Grade 1 closer. It also meets ANSI A117.1 for accessibility. That combination is what an institutional spec normally calls for on a rated opening.
5) What are the closest heavy duty alternatives to the Stanley QDC116 if I need a different brand?
For Grade 1 heavy duty surface closers, the BEST EHD9000 Series and BEST HD8000 Series both carry Grade 1 with a heavy duty rating, as do the Sargent 281 (cast iron Powerglide) and Sargent 1431 Powerglide. The Falcon SC71A and Dormakaba 8616 are heavy duty Grade 1 as well. What the QDC116 has over all of them is the stated LCN 4040 footprint and bolt pattern match, so if you are replacing 4040s the QDC116 is the one that avoids re-prep.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Stanley Security QDC116 heavy duty Grade 1 surface closer from another brand?
The QDC116 is an ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, heavy duty surface mounted closer with adjustable spring sizes 1 to 6. Comparable heavy duty Grade 1 surface closers include the BEST HD8000 Series, the Falcon SC71A Series, the Sargent 1431 Powerglide, and the LCN 1460T. The Sargent 281 Powerglide is also heavy duty Grade 1 and, like the QDC116, uses a cast iron body.
7) Is the Stanley QDC116 a drop-in replacement for an LCN 4040, or should I look at another LCN closer?
The QDC116 shares the same footprint, bolt pattern and rounded cover as the LCN 4040, so it goes on without re-prepping the door. If you prefer to stay within LCN, the 1460T Series is a heavy duty surface mounted closer, while the LCN 1261 is a light to medium duty cast iron closer with spring sizes 1 to 5 and the LCN 1450 is medium duty cast aluminum with sizes 1 to 6 - neither of those matches the QDC116 retrofit footprint.
8) The QDC116 arms are handed - what non-handed heavy duty closer can I stock instead?
The QDC116 body is non-handed, but its extra duty arms are handed, so left and right openings take different arms. If you want a single heavy duty stocking item that covers both hands, tri-pack arm closers are the alternative: the Design Hardware 116 Series and 416 Series are heavy duty with a tri-packed non-hold-open arm, the BEST EHD9000 Series is extra heavy duty Grade 1 with sizes 1 to 6, and the Dormakaba 8616 is Grade 1 heavy duty with a tri-pack flat arm.
9) If the opening needs a slide track or jamb track arm instead of the QDC116 extra duty arm, what should I order?
The QDC116 uses a surface mounted extra duty arm on the pull or push side. For a track arm application, the Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a slide track arm as standard for pull side mounting on 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer with a jamb track arm for frame face, pull side mounting with adjustable size 1 to 6.
10) Is a Grade 2 closer like the Cal-Royal 400 a substitute for the Stanley QDC116?
No. The QDC116 is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 at Grade 1 and is UL/cUL listed to UL10c and UL10b for heavy duty commercial use. The Cal-Royal 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic closer, a different certification level. If you need to stay Grade 1 within Cal-Royal, the 500S and the N900PBF are Grade 1 barrier free closers and the 700S is a Grade 1 dual valve sized closer with an adjustable tube arm.
11) Does the QDC116 have delayed action and backcheck, or are those extra?
Back check valve is standard on the QDC100 Series, and delayed action is offered as a performance option. Backcheck is what protects the closer and the frame on an exterior door catching wind; delayed action is what you add on a door people push through with carts.
12) Is a cast iron closer worth it over a cast aluminum one for a high traffic door?
On a door cycled hard, yes. The QDC116 uses a cast iron body, cold-forged pinion shaft and forged steel arms, rated Heavy Duty, and the valves are staked so a screw backed out too far will not start an oil leak. All-weather fluid keeps closing speed consistent on exterior doors through temperature swings. Cast aluminum bodies like the Falcon SC81A are rated Medium Duty by comparison.
13) I only need a closer for a light interior office door. Is the QDC116 overkill?
Probably. The QDC116 is a heavy duty cast iron closer aimed at institutional and industrial openings. For a light interior door, lighter Grade 1 options in the catalog include the BEST SL6000 Series, the Arrow DCN314 (size 1-4) and the LCN 1250 Series. Move up to the QDC116 when the door sees abuse or is an exterior entrance.
14) Does the hold open on the QDC116 extra duty arm act as a door stop?
The QDC116 configuration pairs the extra duty arm with hold open. The QDC100 range offers 10 arm options across different arm and stop types, so if you need the arm to also stop the door, pick the arm option with the stop built in rather than relying on hold open alone. Hold open holds the leaf; a stop arm limits how far it swings.
15) What closers are comparable to the QDC116 barrier free option for ADA compliance?
The QDC116 is offered with a Barrier Free option and is certified to ANSI A117.1. Other barrier free or ADA-rated closers include the Cal-Royal 500S Grade 1 barrier free with adjustable back-check, the Cal-Royal N900PBF Grade 1 barrier free surface closer, the Calibre CA9901 tri-pack arm ADA closer in sizes 2 to 5, and the Calibre CA4001 adjustable spring tension ADA hydraulic closer.
16) The QDC116 is more closer than I need for an interior office door - what is a lighter option?
For lower-traffic interior openings where the QDC116's heavy duty cast iron body is more than the door calls for, lighter Grade 1 surface closers include the BEST SL6000 Series, the Norton Rixson 160 Series and the Arrow DC314, all listed as light duty. The Falcon SC61A is light to medium duty Grade 1, and the Falcon SC91A is a light duty Grade 3 closer.
17) I need a hold-open closer - does anything else offer that if the QDC116 extra duty hold-open arm does not fit?
The QDC116 is supplied with an extra duty arm with hold open. Other closers offered with a hold-open arm include the Accentra 51 Series, which uses a tri-packed hold open arm with sizes 1 to 6, and the Orca Hardware BHDC1958 with a tri-packed hold open arm and a parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors.
18) Does the Arrow DCN500DP drop plate work with the Stanley QDC116?
No. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate made for the Arrow DCN500 closer, not a closer itself and not a QDC116 accessory. The QDC116 ships with wood and machine screws plus sex nuts and self-reaming, self-tapping screws as standard fasteners for wood, aluminum or hollow metal doors and frames.
19) For a 48 inch exterior door, is the QDC116 sized right or should I use a different closer?
The QDC116 covers 30 to 48 inch interior and 32 to 48 inch exterior door widths with spring sizes 1 through 6, so a 48 inch exterior leaf is within range. Other size 1 to 6 heavy duty options at Grade 1 include the BEST EHD9000 Series, the Imperial USA TC4300 heavy duty ADA closer, and the Norton Rixson 8501A tri-mount Grade 1 closer with adjustable size 1 to 6 spring.
20) Is a medium duty closer such as the Sargent 1131 or BEST HD7000 interchangeable with the QDC116 on an institutional door?
They are different duty classes. The QDC116 is a heavy duty Grade 1 closer with a cast iron body, intended for institutional and industrial openings. The Sargent 1131 and Sargent 1331 are Grade 1 medium duty, as are the BEST HD7000 Series, the Norton Rixson 1601P and the Dormakaba 7303 and 7414 Series. For a step up inside Sargent, the 1431 Powerglide and the 281 cast iron closer are both heavy duty Grade 1.
21) The QDC116 comes with a full-size rounded plastic cover - what if I need a metal cover or no cover at all?
The QDC116 R trim is a full-size rounded plastic cover, in 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze or 696 satin brass. If the specification calls for a closer supplied less cover, the Arrow DCN314 and DCN325 are Grade 1 surface closers furnished less cover with regular/parallel tri-pack arms, in spring sizes 1 to 4 and 1 to 6 respectively. The Dexter DCH1000 Series is a Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer supplied with a full cover.
22) Which alternatives to the QDC116 offer delayed action?
Delayed action is available as a premium performance option on the QDC116, which also includes a back check valve as standard. Among other closers, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958DA and BHDC2011DA are delayed action closers with a regular arm and parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors.
23) What finishes does the QDC116 come in, and can I match existing closers in my building?
Three finishes: 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze and 696 satin brass. Those are the standard painted closer finishes, so matching a floor of existing aluminum-painted closers is straightforward. All three are offered with the full-size rounded plastic cover.
