Stanley Security QDC213 F 689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Stanley QDC213 door closer work on a 36 inch exterior door?
Yes. The QDC213 is rated for exterior doors 32 to 48 inches wide, and 30 to 48 inches wide on interior openings. It uses all-weather fluid, so it holds its adjustment through temperature swings on an outside opening. Spring power adjusts across sizes 1 through 6, so one closer covers the light interior door and the wide exterior entrance without stocking two part numbers.
2) Do I have to order the Stanley QDC213 closer handed for a left hand or right hand door?
No handing to specify. The QDC213 is non-handed, so the same closer goes on a left or right hand door. It mounts pull side or push side, which means regular arm, top jamb, or parallel arm applications are all covered by the one unit. For a property manager standardizing a building, that is one SKU on the shelf for every swing in the place.
3) Can a QDC213 closer be used on a fire rated door?
The QDC200 Series closers are UL and cUL listed, tested to UL10c and UL10b, and certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4. That is the listing set a fire door assembly needs from the closer. Note the QDC213 carries a heavy duty arm with a compression stop built in, so the arm limits the opening swing; on a fire rated opening confirm the stop position does not conflict with any required hold open device, since a compression stop arm is a non-hold-open arm.
4) Will a QDC213 fit a narrow top rail aluminum storefront door?
Yes, that is the case the QDC200 Series is built for. The closer body accommodates reduced rail heights, so it goes on narrow top rail doors where a full size cast iron closer will not land. Order the S slim line cover if the profile matters visually; the F full size cover is the other option. Both cover choices come in aluminum 689, dark bronze 690, and satin brass 696.
5) Which alternatives to the QDC213 are set up for ADA opening force?
The QDC213 meets ANSI A117.1 and offers options to hold the entry point within ADA force requirements, with a spring adjustable from size 1 to 6. Among the peers built around the same requirement, the Imperial USA TC4300 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty ADA closer with size 1-6 adjustment, the Calibre CA9901 is a Grade 1 tri-pack arm ADA closer sized 2-5, and the Calibre CA4001 is a Grade 1 adjustable spring tension ADA hydraulic closer. The Cal-Royal N900PBF is a Grade 1 hydraulic barrier free surface closer.
6) The QDC213 comes with a heavy duty arm and compression stop. What should I look at if the door needs a hold open arm instead?
The QDC213 is supplied with a heavy duty arm with compress stop, which is a non-hold-open arrangement. For a door that has to stand open, the Accentra 51 Series is an industrial surface closer with a tri-packed hold open arm covering sizes 1-6, and the Orca Hardware BHDC1958 hold open model uses a tri-packed hold open arm with a parallel bracket. Both give you a mechanical hold open the compress stop arm does not provide.
7) What is the closest heavy duty Grade 1 surface closer to the Stanley Security QDC213 if I want to stay with a full spring range?
The QDC213 is a Grade 1 heavy duty surface mounted closer with an adjustable spring range of size 1 through 6. The BEST HD8000 Series is also a Grade 1 heavy duty surface mounted closer, and the BEST EHD9000 Series is an extra heavy-duty Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-6. On the Sargent side, the 1431 Powerglide is a Grade 1 heavy duty surface closer with adjustable spring power. All three land in the same duty and grade class as the QDC213 for a high-traffic opening.
8) I only need a closer for a low-traffic interior office door. Is there a lighter option than the QDC213?
Yes. The QDC213 is built as a heavy duty Grade 1 closer for high-use openings. For lighter interior traffic, the BEST SL6000 Series is a Grade 1 light duty surface mounted closer with adjustable spring sizes, the LCN 1250 Series is a light duty surface closer covering sizes 1-5 with all-weather fluid, and the Norton Rixson 160 Series is a Grade 1 light duty light-commercial surface closer with an adjustable spring. The Falcon SC61A is Grade 1 in a light to medium duty cast aluminum body if you want something between the two.
9) Is the Arrow DC314 a substitute for the QDC213 since both are Grade 1?
They share the Grade 1 certification but not the duty class. The QDC213 is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer. The Arrow DC314 in the DC300 Series is a Grade 1 surface mounted closer rated light duty, and the Arrow DCN314 and DCN325 are also light duty, with the DCN314 covering adjustable spring size 1-4 and the DCN325 covering 1-6. If the opening was specified for heavy duty service, the grade match alone does not make those an equal swap.
10) Can I use a Cal-Royal 400 Series closer where a QDC213 was specified?
Not on a Grade 1 spec. The QDC213 is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 at Grade 1 in a heavy duty build. The Cal-Royal 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic closer. If you want to stay with Cal-Royal and hold Grade 1, the 700S Series is a Grade 1 dual valve sized closer with an adjustable tube arm and the 500S is a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check.
11) Is the Falcon SC91A an equivalent to the Stanley QDC213?
No. The QDC213 is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4. The Falcon SC91A Series is a Grade 3 light duty cast aluminum surface closer. The name similarity across the Falcon SC line is misleading here: the SC71A Series is the Grade 1 heavy duty member of that family, and that is the one that lines up with the QDC213.
12) What does the compress stop arm on the QDC213 actually do, and when do I need it?
The compression stop is a mechanical stop built into the heavy duty arm that halts the door at the end of its swing, so the door does not slam into an adjacent wall or tear the closer out of the door. Use it where there is no floor or wall stop, which is typical on parallel arm push side installs in corridors. The QDC200 Series also comes standard with a back check valve, which cushions the door before it reaches the stop rather than letting it hit hard.
13) What do I have to specify when ordering a QDC213 closer?
Two choices. Cover style, either F full size or S slim line, and finish, either 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, or 696 satin brass. Handing is not a choice since the closer is non-handed, and spring size is not a choice either because power is field adjustable from 1 to 6. The heavy duty arm with compression stop is what the 213 designation carries, so the arm is already decided.
14) Are mounting screws included with the QDC213, and can I install it on a hollow metal door?
Fasteners ship with the closer. Wood and machine screws are standard, and sex nuts along with self-reaming, self-tapping screws are standard as well. The self-reaming, self-tapping screws are what you use into hollow metal without pre-tapping, and the sex nuts are for through-bolting a wood or mineral core door where screws alone will not hold under heavy traffic.
15) What is the difference between the Stanley QDC213 and a heavy duty LCN or Sargent closer?
All are heavy duty surface mounted closers. The QDC213 is Grade 1, non-handed, adjustable size 1 to 6, and sized for reduced rail heights. Among comparable heavy duty options ZenSupply carries, the LCN 1460T is a heavy duty closer in a powder coat finish, and the Sargent 1431 Powerglide is heavy duty with adjustable spring power. The Sargent 281 Powerglide is cast iron heavy duty, a different body material if you want iron rather than a slim aluminum profile. Pick the QDC213 when top rail height is tight; pick a full bodied cast iron unit when the door has a conventional rail and abuse is the main concern.
16) I only have a light traffic office door. Is the QDC213 overkill?
Probably. The QDC213 is a heavy duty Grade 1 closer intended for high use commercial openings. For a low traffic interior door, lighter Grade 1 options ZenSupply carries include the BEST SL6000 Series, the Arrow DC314 in the DC300 Series, and the LCN 1250 Series in sizes 1 through 5. Step up to the QDC213 when the door is exterior, wide, or sees constant cycling, or when the top rail is too shallow for a conventional closer body.
17) Can I replace an existing surface closer with a QDC213 without redrilling the door?
The QDC200 Series is built with retrofit compatible features and mounts pull side or push side, which covers the three standard applications a previous closer would have used. Whether the existing holes line up depends on what came off the door, so match the old closer's mounting pattern before you pull it. The compression stop arm and adjustable sizing 1 to 6 mean one QDC213 can cover a mix of openings you are currently servicing with several different closers.
18) What is the difference between the QDC213 and a slide track closer like the Corbin Russwin DC5230?
The QDC213 uses a heavy duty arm with a compress stop and mounts pull side or push side, non-handed. The Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a Grade 1 surface closer supplied with a slide track arm as standard and mounts pull side. A track arm rides in a channel on the door or frame rather than projecting on a jointed forearm, so the two are not interchangeable at the mounting holes even though both are Grade 1 surface closers.
19) I need a heavy duty closer with a flat arm for a narrow top rail. What are the alternatives to the QDC213?
The QDC213 accommodates reduced rail heights with its heavy duty arm and compress stop. If you specifically want a flat arm, the Dormakaba 8616 AF86P FC SNB1 689 is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer with a flat non-hold-open arm supplied tri-pack, and the Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer with a flat non-hold-open arm on a jamb track, frame face mounted pull side, adjustable size 1-6.
20) Which closers are comparable to the QDC213 if the job spec calls for a tri-pack mounting closer instead of a fixed heavy duty arm?
The QDC213 carries a heavy duty arm with compress stop. For a tri-pack arm that can be set regular, parallel or top jamb, the Accentra 2701 Series is an architectural closer with tri-pack mounting and adjustable spring sizes 1-6, the Design Hardware 416 Series is a heavy duty closer with a tri-packed non-hold-open arm, and the Dexter DCH1000 Series is a Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer with a full cover. The Norton Rixson 8501A is a Grade 1 tri-mount closer with an adjustable size 1-6 spring in a medium duty body.
21) For a fire rated opening, what other closers match what the QDC213 carries?
The QDC213 is UL/cUL listed to UL10c and UL10b and meets ANSI A117.1 alongside ANSI/BHMA A156.4. Among heavy duty Grade 1 peers, the Falcon SC71A Series and the Sargent 281 Powerglide cast iron closer are both Grade 1 heavy duty surface closers, and the Norton Rixson 1600BC is a Grade 1 heavy duty aluminum storefront closer with tri-style mounting. Confirm the specific listing on the closer you pick against the door assembly label for that opening.
22) I am standardizing closers across a building with a mix of interior and exterior doors up to 48 inches. Does the QDC213 cover that, or do I need two models?
The QDC213 covers 30 to 48 inch interior doors and 32 to 48 inch exterior doors in one non-handed body with a size 1 to 6 spring and all-weather fluid, so one model can carry both sides of the building. If you would rather split the spec by traffic level, the BEST HD7000 Series is a Grade 1 medium duty surface closer with adjustable spring power and backcheck control for the lighter interior doors, with the BEST HD8000 Grade 1 heavy duty for the exterior ones.
23) The QDC213 has delayed action available. Which other closers offer a delayed action option?
Delayed action is a premium option on the QDC213, which also has a back check valve standard. Among the peers, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958 delayed action model pairs delayed action with a regular arm and parallel bracket on a tri-packed non-hold-open arm, and the Orca BHDC2011 delayed action model does the same on the 2011 body. Both Orca delayed action closers are listed for 1-3/4 inch doors.
24) Are the Corbin Russwin DC3200 and DC8200 direct alternatives to the QDC213?
They are Grade 1 surface closers in the same class but with different arm and door assumptions. The Corbin Russwin DC3200 is a Grade 1 surface mounted closer with a regular arm, and the DC8200 Series is a Grade 1 surface closer with a double lever regular arm mounted pull side, as is the DC6200 Series. All three are listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, while the QDC213 is non-handed and mounts pull side or push side with its heavy duty compress stop arm.
25) Is the Arrow DCN500DP drop plate an alternative to a QDC213?
No. The QDC213 is a complete Grade 1 heavy duty surface mounted door closer. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate for the DCN500, a mounting bracket that adapts a closer to the door face, not a closer itself. It will not close a door on its own and does not replace the QDC213.
26) What are the medium duty Grade 1 options if the QDC213 is more closer than the opening needs?
The QDC213 is a heavy duty Grade 1 closer. For medium duty at the same Grade 1 certification, the Sargent 1131 is a Grade 1 adjustable surface closer for medium-traffic commercial applications, the Sargent 1331 is a Grade 1 medium duty closer with a universal aluminum body, the Falcon SC81A is a Grade 1 medium duty cast aluminum closer, and the Norton Rixson 1601P is a Grade 1 medium duty tri-mount closer with 180 degree swing.
27) Does the QDC213 have delayed action for accessible openings?
Delayed action is available on the QDC200 Series as a performance option, along with the back check valve that comes standard. Delayed action holds the door near full open for a few seconds before the sweep begins, which is what you want on a healthcare, school, or multifamily entrance where someone with a cart or a walker needs extra time to get through.
28) Will the 690 dark bronze QDC213 match the bronze storefront doors I already have?
690 dark bronze is a standard architectural powder finish and is one of three offered on the QDC213, alongside 689 aluminum and 696 satin brass. Those are BHMA finish numbers, so a 690 closer will read the same as 690 hardware from any other manufacturer on the same opening. Both the full size cover and the slim line cover are available in all three.
29) What heavy duty closer should I look at if I want a cast iron body rather than the QDC213 slim aluminum design?
The QDC213 uses a slim design intended to work with the surrounding aesthetic on narrow top rail doors. If body material is the deciding factor, the Sargent 281 Powerglide is a Grade 1 heavy duty surface closer with cast iron construction, and the LCN 1261 is a surface closer with cast iron construction and adjustable spring sizes 1-5 in a light to medium duty rating. The LCN 1460T is a heavy duty surface closer in a powder coat finish if you want heavy duty from that line.
30) The QDC213 comes in 689, 690 and 696. Which comparable closers can I get with a matching sprayed finish?
The QDC213 is offered in 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze and 696 satin brass, with a full size or slim line cover. Among the peers, the Dorma 8916-JT is stocked in 689 and the Dormakaba 8616 AF86P FC SNB1 is also a 689 unit, so both will sit next to a 689 QDC213 without a finish mismatch on the same elevation. For a painted rather than sprayed finish, the DORMA 7303 Series and the Dormakaba 7414 are supplied painted.
