Stanley Security QDC117 R 689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Stanley Security QDC117 closer replace an LCN 4040 without re-drilling the door?
Yes. The QDC100 Series, which the QDC117 belongs to, uses 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 new door prep. That is the main reason it gets specified on retrofit work in schools and industrial buildings where the existing doors are already drilled for the 4040 pattern.
2) What door widths will the QDC117 door closer handle?
Interior openings from 30 to 48 inches wide, and exterior openings from 32 to 48 inches. Spring power is adjustable across sizes 1 through 6, so one closer covers the range of a typical multi-family or institutional building rather than needing a different size per opening.
3) Do I have to order a left-hand or right-hand door closer for the QDC117?
No. The QDC117 is non-handed and universal mount, so the same unit works on either hand of door. Worth noting for anyone stocking both: the QDC116 is the handed version with metal covers, so if handing matters to your order it is because you are looking at the 116, not the 117.
4) Can the QDC117 be mounted on the push side of the door?
Yes, it mounts pull side or push side. The QDC117 configuration comes with the extra duty arm with stop, which is normally used parallel arm on the push side where you want the arm itself to limit how far the door opens instead of relying on a separate floor or wall stop.
5) Is the QDC117 closer approved for a fire rated door and does it meet accessibility requirements?
It is UL/cUL listed to UL10c and UL10b, and it is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 and ANSI A117.1. That combination covers both fire door assembly use and the accessibility standard, which is what an institutional or healthcare procurement spec usually calls out. It is a Grade 1, commercial-rated closer.
6) What is the closest heavy duty equivalent to the Stanley Security QDC117 door closer from another brand?
The QDC117 is a Grade 1 heavy duty surface mounted closer with an adjustable spring range of size 1 through 6. The closest peers on those same points are the BEST EHD9000 Series, an extra heavy-duty Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-6, and the Sargent 281, a Grade 1 heavy duty cast iron surface closer. The Falcon SC71A is also a Grade 1 heavy duty surface-mount closer. Any of the three lands in the same duty class for institutional and industrial openings.
7) The QDC117 has an extra duty arm with a stop. What if the opening already has a wall stop and I do not need one on the arm?
The QDC117 arm carries an integral stop, which is what you want when the door needs its own overswing control. If a floor or wall stop already handles that, a plain non-hold-open arm closer covers the opening: the Design Hardware 116 Series is a heavy duty closer with a tri-packed non-hold open arm, the Accentra 2701 is an architectural closer with a tri-pack arm and adjustable spring sizes 1-6, and the Dormakaba 8616 AF86P uses a flat non-hold open tri-pack arm. Note these arms will not stop the door, so the opening needs its stop elsewhere.
8) I want the door to stay open on its own - the QDC117 arm will not do that, right?
Correct, the QDC117 is supplied with an extra duty arm with stop, not a hold open arm. For an opening that needs to stand open, the Accentra 51 Series is an industrial closer with a hold open arm and tri-packed mount options in sizes 1-6, and the Orca Hardware BHDC1958HO/PA offers a tri-packed hold open arm with a parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors. Keep in mind hold open is generally not permitted on a fire-rated opening without a release device.
9) I am specifying ADA barrier free closers for a whole building - what matches the QDC117 barrier free option?
The QDC117 is offered with a Barrier Free option and is listed to ANSI A117.1 alongside ANSI/BHMA A156.4. Comparable barrier free choices include the Cal-Royal 500S, a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check, the Cal-Royal N900PBF barrier free Grade 1 hydraulic surface closer, the Calibre CA9901 Grade 1 ADA closer with a tri-pack arm in sizes 2-5, and the Imperial USA TC4300, a Grade 1 heavy duty ADA closer in sizes 1-6. The TC4300 sits closest on duty level and spring range.
10) Is a Grade 2 closer an acceptable stand-in for the QDC117?
Not on the same basis. The QDC117 is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 and rated heavy duty, and it is UL/cUL listed to UL10c and UL10b for fire door use. The Cal-Royal 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic closer and the Falcon SC91A is Grade 3 light duty, so neither meets a Grade 1 line on a drawing. If the spec allows a lighter Grade 1, the Falcon SC81A medium duty or the Sargent 1131 medium duty closer stay inside Grade 1.
11) We are replacing LCN 4040 closers. Does the QDC117 drop in, or should we stay with LCN?
The QDC117 shares the same footprint, bolt pattern and rounded cover as the LCN 4040, so it goes on the existing prep without re-drilling the door, and it is non-handed with universal mount for pull side or push side. If you prefer to stay within LCN, the 1460T is a heavy duty Grade 1 surface closer in a powder coat finish. Confirm the arm and stop requirement either way, since the QDC117 ships with an extra duty arm with stop.
12) Our doors are 48 inches wide exterior. Which closers besides the QDC117 are rated for that?
The QDC117 covers 30 to 48 inch interior doors and 32 to 48 inch exterior doors with its size 1 to 6 spring range, which is what a wide exterior leaf needs. Peers that carry the same full 1-6 spring range are the BEST EHD9000 extra heavy-duty Grade 1 closer, the Norton Rixson 8501A Grade 1 tri-mount closer, the Dorma 8916-JT heavy duty Grade 1 closer, and the Imperial USA TC4300 Grade 1 heavy duty closer. A closer capped at size 4, such as the Arrow DCN314, will not develop the power a 48 inch exterior door wants.
13) Is the QDC117 heavy duty enough for a high traffic entrance, and what is the body made of?
It is rated heavy duty and Grade 1, with a cast iron body, cold-forged pinion shaft and forged steel arms. Valves are staked so a screw backed out too far will not leak oil, and it uses all-weather fluid, which matters on exterior doors that see temperature swings. Delayed action is available and a back check valve is standard.
14) How does the Stanley QDC117 compare to other heavy duty Grade 1 surface closers?
On duty class it sits with the BEST EHD9000 and HD8000 Series, the Falcon SC71A, the Sargent 1431 and 281 Powerglide, and the LCN 1460T, all of which we hold as heavy duty closers. The QDC117's distinguishing point is the LCN 4040 bolt pattern match, so on a retrofit it saves door prep the others may not. If the opening is lighter duty, the Arrow DCN325 or BEST SL6000 are the lighter Grade 1 options.
15) Should I get the extra duty arm with stop or a plain tri-pack arm closer?
The QDC100 family offers two arm types, a tri-pack arm and the extra duty arm, across 10 arm and stop configurations. The QDC117 is the extra duty arm with stop: pick it when the door needs the opening angle limited by the arm, typically a parallel arm push side install with no wall or floor stop. If you have a stop already and just want mounting flexibility, a tri-pack arm closer such as the Design Hardware 416 Series or the Accentra 2701 Series is the straighter choice.
16) Does the QDC117 come with a hold open arm?
No. The QDC117 is supplied with the extra duty arm with stop, which limits the swing but does not hold the door open. For a hold open function, look at a closer specified that way, such as the Accentra 51 Series with a tri-packed hold open arm or the Orca BHDC1958 hold open version.
17) The QDC117 comes with a plastic cover. What if the job requires a metal cover?
The QDC117 is supplied with a full-size rounded plastic cover and is non-handed; within the QDC family it is the QDC116 arms that are handed and use metal covers. Among other brands, the Design Hardware 316 Series is a medium to heavy duty closer supplied with a cover, and the Dexter DCH1000 is a Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer with a full cover. If a cover is not wanted at all, the Arrow DCN325 is a Grade 1 surface closer supplied less cover with a regular/parallel tri-pack arm in sizes 1-6.
18) I need a cast iron closer like the QDC117 but for a lighter interior door - what else is there?
The QDC117 uses cast iron body construction and is rated heavy duty for commercial openings. If the opening is a lighter interior door, the LCN 1261 is a light to medium duty closer that also uses cast iron construction, with adjustable spring sizes 1-5. Stepping further down, the LCN 1250 is a light duty surface-mounted closer with spring sizes 1-5 and all-weather fluid, and the BEST SL6000 is a Grade 1 light duty surface closer with adjustable spring sizes.
19) Which closers should I look at if the arm needs to run in a slide track instead of a standard arm?
The QDC117 is an extra duty arm closer with a stop, a projecting arm rather than a track arm. Where the spec calls for a track, the Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a slide track arm standard for pull side mounting on 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty jamb track closer for frame face pull side mounting with adjustable size 1-6 spring. A track arm changes the door prep and the header condition, so confirm the frame face before switching.
20) What is the difference between the QDC117 and a medium duty Grade 1 closer like the Sargent 1331 or BEST HD7000?
All three are Grade 1, but the duty class differs. The QDC117 is heavy duty with a cast iron body, cold-forged pinion shaft and forged steel arms, built for institutional and industrial traffic. The Sargent 1331 is a Grade 1 medium duty closer with a universal aluminum body, and the BEST HD7000 is a Grade 1 medium duty surface closer with adjustable spring power and backcheck control. For a moderate-traffic office or tenant door the medium duty units are in class; for a high-cycle exterior or institutional opening the cast iron QDC117 is the heavier build.
21) Which alternatives to the QDC117 offer delayed action?
The QDC100 family the QDC117 belongs to offers delayed action as a premium option along with a standard back check valve. If delayed action is the deciding feature, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958DA/PA is a delayed action closer with a regular arm and parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the BHDC2011DA/PA is the same delayed action configuration in the BHDC2011 series. Delayed action is worth specifying on doors used by carts or slower traffic.
22) Is a Deltana DC40 or DC70 a fair swap for the QDC117 on a commercial door?
Treat them as different classes of product. The QDC117 is a commercial ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 heavy duty closer, UL/cUL listed to UL10c and UL10b, with an adjustable size 1 to 6 spring. The Deltana DC40 and DC70 are door closers in the DC40 and DC70 series respectively. For a fire-rated or institutional opening where a Grade 1 line is written into the spec, hold to the QDC117 or another Grade 1 heavy duty unit such as the BEST HD8000.
23) Our standard is Corbin Russwin. What in that line is closest to the QDC117?
The QDC117 is a Grade 1 heavy duty surface closer mounted pull side or push side. In the Corbin Russwin line, the DC8200 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a double lever regular arm for pull side mounting on 1-3/4 inch doors, and the DC6200 is the same double lever regular arm pull side configuration in the DC6000 series. The DC3200 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a regular arm for 1-3/4 inch doors. All three are pull side regular arm configurations, so if your opening needs the parallel push side mounting, confirm the bracket before ordering.
24) For an aluminum storefront door, is the QDC117 the right closer or is there something better suited?
The QDC117 is a cast iron bodied Grade 1 heavy duty closer covering 32 to 48 inch exterior doors, which suits a heavy exterior opening. For a narrow-stile aluminum storefront specifically, the Norton Rixson 1600 Series aluminum storefront closer with tri-style mounting is a Grade 1 heavy duty unit built for that frame condition. Storefront top rails are often too narrow for a full-size cover closer, so check the rail height before committing either way.
25) What finishes does the QDC117 door closer come in and will they match existing hardware?
Three: 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze and 696 satin brass. 689 is the default on most commercial openings and 690 is the usual pick alongside dark bronze storefront or aluminum entrances. All three are available with or without the Barrier Free option and with the full-size rounded plastic cover.
26) Is the Arrow DCN500DP drop plate a substitute for the QDC117?
No. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate, a mounting accessory for the DCN500 closer, not a closer itself. The QDC117 is a complete Grade 1 heavy duty surface mounted closer with an extra duty arm and stop. If you are pricing a closer and a drop plate together, keep the two line items separate and confirm the plate matches the closer body you buy.
