Product details

Security:

The QDC300 is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certified, and significantly exceeds performance requirements. These closers are fully adjustable, with a barrier-free option to meet ADA requirements.

Construction:

Strong materials and careful design ensures QDC300 closers perform reliably over the long term. We engineered the QDC300 Series to be fully adjustable and usable on both interior and exterior doors. All-weather fluid, a variety of feature options, and non-handed and universal mount flexibility make it easy to stock and use the QDC300 in a wide variety of applications.


Applications

The QDC300 is a cost-effective option ideal for aluminum storefront applications due to its smaller closer body.

There's no need to re-prep your door. The QDC300 has the same footprint as the Norton 1600 Series, so it's quick and easy to retrofit.

Stanley Security QDC313 F 689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Stanley QDC313 door closer fit my existing Norton 1600 closer holes?
Yes. The QDC300 Series shares the same footprint as the Norton 1600 Series, so a swap goes back on the existing prep with no re-drilling of the door. If you are comparing the two directly, the Norton Rixson 1600 Series tri-mount closer is the medium duty unit that prep was cut for.
2) What door sizes will a QDC313 closer handle?
The QDC300 Series covers 30 to 48 inch wide interior doors and 32 to 48 inch exterior doors, on 1-3/4 inch thick doors. Spring power adjusts through sizes 1 to 6, so one closer covers the range from a light interior office door to a full-width exterior opening.
3) Do I need to order a QDC313 handed for a left or right door?
No. The QDC313 is non-handed and mounts on either the pull side or the push side, so the same unit works on a left or right hand door. That also means a property manager can stock one part number for a whole building instead of splitting inventory by hand.
4) Is the Stanley QDC313 closer approved for a fire rated door?
The QDC300 Series is UL and cUL listed, including UL10C and UL10B, and certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 at Grade 1. It also meets ANSI A117.1 when ordered with the barrier free option.
5) Is the QDC300 closer body small enough for an aluminum storefront door?
Yes, that is one of its main applications. The QDC300 uses a smaller, narrower body specifically so it fits the limited head rail of aluminum storefront. All-weather fluid means the same unit works on the exterior side of that opening.
6) Which barrier free closers compare to the QDC313 barrier free option for an ADA opening?
The QDC313 can be ordered with a barrier free option and is listed to ANSI A117.1. Comparable barrier free choices are 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 CA4001 with adjustable ADA spring tension, and the Calibre CA9901 tri-pack arm ADA closer sized 2-5.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Stanley QDC313 door closer from another brand?
The QDC313 is a Grade 1, medium duty surface mounted closer with an adjustable size 1 to 6 spring and non-handed body. The closest matches on those same points are the Norton Rixson 8501A, a Grade 1 medium duty tri-mount closer with adjustable size 1-6 spring, and the Sargent 1331, a Grade 1 medium duty adjustable surface closer with a universal aluminum body. The BEST HD7000 is also Grade 1 medium duty with adjustable spring power and backcheck control.
8) My opening sees heavier abuse than a QDC313 is built for - what should I run instead?
The QDC313 is a medium duty closer. For a higher duty class in the same Grade 1 surface mounted format, look at the BEST EHD9000 extra heavy-duty closer with adjustable size 1-6 spring, the Sargent 1431 Powerglide heavy-duty closer with adjustable spring power, the Falcon SC71A heavy-duty closer, or the Sargent 281 Powerglide cast iron heavy-duty closer.
9) I need a hold open arm - does the QDC313 cover that, or do I need a different closer?
The QDC313 is furnished with a heavy duty arm with compression stop, which is a stop function rather than a hold open. If the opening needs the door to stay open, the Accentra 51 Series is a tri-packed hold open arm closer with size 1-6 adjustment, and the Orca BHDC1958HO/PA is a hold open closer with a parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors.
10) Which alternatives to the QDC313 hold the same Grade 1 rating if my spec calls it out?
The QDC313 is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 under A156.4 and UL/cUL listed to UL10c and UL10b. Grade 1 peers in the surface mounted category include the Corbin Russwin DC3200 and DC8200, the Dexter DCH1000 tri mount closer with full cover, the Cal-Royal 700S dual valve sized closer, and the Dormakaba 7303. The Cal-Royal 400 Series is Grade 2 and the Falcon SC91A is Grade 3, so neither meets a Grade 1 call-out.
11) What are my options if the opening needs a slide track or flat arm instead of the QDC313 compression stop arm?
The QDC313 uses a heavy duty arm with compression stop and mounts pull side or push side. If the detail calls for a track, the Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a Grade 1 surface closer with slide track arm standard for pull side mounting, and the Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty jamb track closer with a flat non-hold open arm, frame face pull side mounting, adjustable size 1-6. For a flat arm without a track, the Dormakaba 8616 AF86P is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer with a flat non-hold open tri-pack arm.
12) What does the compression stop on the QDC313 actually do, and do I still need a separate door stop?
The QDC313 arm carries a built-in compression stop, so the arm itself absorbs the shock at the end of the swing and limits how far the door opens. That removes the need for a separate overhead stop on many openings. It does not hold the door open; for hold open you want a closer built with a hold open arm, such as the Accentra 51 Series or the Orca BHDC1958 hold open model.
13) What finishes and cover choices come on the QDC313?
Three finishes: 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, and 696 satin brass. Each is available with a full-size cover or with no cover. The no-cover build leaves the closer body exposed, which is common on back-of-house and utility doors where appearance is not a factor; the full cover is the one to spec for lobbies and tenant-facing openings.
14) Are mounting screws included with the QDC313 closer?
Yes. Wood and machine screws come standard, along with sex nuts and self-reaming, self-tapping screws. That covers hollow metal, wood, and aluminum storefront mounting without a separate fastener order.
15) Can I use the QDC313 on a 1-3/8 inch door?
No. The QDC300 Series is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors, which is the standard commercial thickness. A 1-3/8 inch leaf is typical of older interior residential-style doors and falls outside this closer's stated range.
16) What else works on an aluminum storefront door like the QDC313 does?
The QDC313 suits aluminum storefront work because of its smaller, narrower closer body, and it handles exterior doors 32 to 48 inches wide. The Norton Rixson 1600 Series aluminum storefront closer with tri-style mounting is a Grade 1 heavy duty alternative built for the same application, and the Norton Rixson 1601P is a Grade 1 medium duty 1600 Series tri-mount closer with 180 degree swing.
17) For a light traffic interior office door, is there a simpler closer than the QDC313?
The QDC313 is a medium duty Grade 1 closer sized 1 to 6 for interior doors 30 to 48 inches wide. For lighter interior traffic, the BEST SL6000 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 adjustable spring, and the Arrow DCN314 is a Grade 1 light duty closer with tri-pack regular/parallel arm and adjustable spring size 1-4.
18) Is the Arrow DC314 a direct substitute for the Stanley QDC313?
They are not the same class of closer even though the model numbers look alike. The QDC313 is a Grade 1 medium duty closer with an adjustable size 1 to 6 spring, while the Arrow DC314 is a Grade 1 light duty DC300 Series surface closer. If you are matching the QDC313 on duty and spring range, the Arrow DCN325 covers adjustable spring size 1-6 but is also catalogued light duty.
19) I ordered the QDC313 without a cover - what other closers ship less cover or with a full cover?
The QDC313 can be ordered with a full-size cover or with no cover in 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, or 696 satin brass. If you want a less-cover unit from another line, the Arrow DCN314 and DCN325 are both supplied less cover with tri-pack regular/parallel arms. For a closer that comes with a full cover, the Dexter DCH1000 is a Grade 1 tri mount closer with full cover, and the Design Hardware 316 Series is a medium to heavy duty closer supplied with cover.
20) Is the Arrow DCN500 parallel drop plate a substitute for anything on a QDC313 install?
No. The QDC313 is a complete surface mounted closer supplied with wood and machine screws plus sex nuts and self-reaming, self-tapping screws. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate for the DCN500 closer, a mounting accessory rather than a closer, so it is not interchangeable with the QDC313 and is not the drop plate for it.
