Stanley Security QDC314 F 689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Stanley QDC314 door closer work on my 36 inch exterior storefront door?
Yes. The QDC314 covers exterior doors from 32 to 48 inches wide, and interior doors from 30 to 48 inches, on 1-3/4 inch thick doors. The smaller closer body was built with aluminum storefront openings in mind, and the spring is adjustable across sizes 1 through 6 so you can dial the power up for wind load on an exterior opening.
2) Do I have to order a left hand or right hand version of the QDC314 closer?
No. The QDC314 is non-handed, so one closer covers both left and right hand doors, and it mounts on either the pull side or the push side. For a property manager stocking a building, that means a single part number covers every swing in the place.
3) Can I swap a Norton 1600 closer for the Stanley QDC300 without re-drilling the door?
Yes. The QDC300 body shares the same footprint as the Norton 1600 Series, so it goes back on the existing prep with no new holes. Worth noting the Norton Rixson 1600 Series closer is itself a Grade 1 tri-mount design, so you are swapping like for like on mounting flexibility.
4) Is the Stanley QDC314 closer ADA compliant for a barrier-free opening?
It can be. The closer is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 and ANSI A117.1, and there is a Barrier Free option you select when ordering. Both the barrier free and standard configurations are offered in every finish, so specify Barrier Free on the order if the opening has to meet accessible opening force.
5) Is the QDC314 fire rated for a labeled door?
The QDC300 is UL and cUL listed, with UL10c and UL10b listings, which are the positive and neutral pressure fire door test standards. Pair it with the non-hold-open configuration where the code requires a self-closing door, since a mechanical hold-open arm is not permitted on a fire door unless it releases.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Stanley Security QDC314 door closer from another brand?
The Stanley Security QDC314 is a Grade 1, medium duty surface mounted closer with adjustable spring sizes 1 to 6 and non-handed pull side or push side mounting. The Norton Rixson 1601P in the 1600 Series is also a Grade 1 medium duty surface closer with tri-mount design, and the QDC300 body shares the same footprint as the Norton 1600 Series, so it drops into an existing 1600 prep. The Sargent 1331 and the BEST HD7000 Series are also Grade 1 medium duty surface closers if you are matching duty class rather than door prep.
7) I need a heavier closer than the QDC314 for a high traffic exterior entrance. What should I look at?
The Stanley Security QDC314 is rated medium duty and covers interior doors 30 to 48 inches and exterior doors 32 to 48 inches. For a heavier build on the same surface mounted application, the BEST EHD9000 Series is extra heavy duty Grade 1 with adjustable spring sizes 1 to 6, the Sargent 1431 Powerglide is heavy duty Grade 1, and the Falcon SC71A is a heavy duty Grade 1 surface closer. The Norton Rixson 1600 Series storefront closer with tri-style mounting is also listed heavy duty Grade 1.
8) The QDC314 has a compression stop arm. What do I order instead if the opening already has a floor or wall stop?
The Stanley Security QDC314 uses a heavy duty arm with hold-open and a built-in compression stop, which is meant to stop the door at the arm. If the opening already has its own stop, a non-hold-open, non-stop arm is the cleaner choice: the Accentra 1101BF and 2701 Series both ship as tri-packed non-hold open arms, the Design Hardware 316 Series is a medium to heavy duty tri-packed non-hold open closer with cover, and the Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty flat non-hold open arm closer. For hold-open without a compression stop, the Accentra 51 Series and the Orca BHDC1958HO/PA are tri-packed hold open arms.
9) I need a track arm closer instead of the QDC314's swing arm. What is the alternative?
The Stanley Security QDC314 uses a heavy duty projecting arm with hold-open and compression stop for pull side or push side mounting. If the spec calls for a slide track, the Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a Grade 1 surface closer with 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 in adjustable sizes 1 to 6.
10) Can I substitute a Grade 2 closer for the Stanley Security QDC314 on a fire rated opening?
No. The Stanley Security QDC314 is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 and carries UL/cUL listing including UL10c and UL10b, which is what a fire rated door assembly needs. The Cal-Royal 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic closer, so it is not a like-for-like swap where Grade 1 is specified. Stay within the Grade 1 set, such as the Corbin Russwin DC3200 regular arm surface closer or the Falcon SC81A medium duty closer, and verify the fire listing for the specific opening.
11) I need delayed action, which the QDC314 arm does not provide. What closer should I use?
The Stanley Security QDC314 arm option is a heavy duty arm with hold-open and compression stop. For a delayed action function on a 1-3/4 inch door, the Orca BHDC1958DA/PA and BHDC2011DA/PA are delayed action closers with a regular arm and parallel bracket, both tri-packed non-hold open arms. Verify door width and mounting side against the opening before ordering.
12) What does the hold-open and compression stop arm on the QDC314 actually do for me?
The heavy duty arm holds the door open at a set position so you can move carts, furniture or stock through without propping, and the compression stop absorbs the door at the end of its swing so it does not slam a wall or blow past its travel. On an exterior opening that stop takes the abuse a separate wall or floor stop would otherwise have to handle.
13) What screws come with the Stanley QDC300 closer, and do I need sex nuts for a wood door?
Wood and machine screws are standard, and sex nuts plus self-reaming, self-tapping screws are also standard with the closer. So a hollow metal frame, an aluminum stile and a wood door are all covered out of the box, with the sex nuts there for through-bolting a wood or mineral core door that will not hold a wood screw under load.
14) Is the QDC314 heavy duty enough for a high traffic entrance, or should I step up?
The QDC314 is rated medium duty at Grade 1, which suits normal commercial traffic and aluminum storefront. For a high abuse entrance, a school corridor or an exterior door taking constant wind, step up to a heavy duty body: the BEST HD8000 Series and the BEST EHD9000 Series are both Grade 1 heavy duty, and the Sargent 1431 Powerglide is a heavy duty Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring power.
15) What is a comparable Grade 1 medium duty surface closer if I want a different brand?
Close equivalents on duty and grade include the Sargent 1131 and Sargent 1331, both Grade 1 medium duty surface closers, the BEST HD7000 Series, and the Norton Rixson 8501A with an adjustable size 1 to 6 spring like the QDC314. The Dormakaba 7303 and 7414 are also Grade 1 medium duty. If you need hold open specifically, the Orca BHDC1958 hold open version is offered as a tri-packed hold open arm.
16) Can I use the QDC314 closer on exterior doors in cold weather?
Yes. The QDC300 uses all-weather fluid and is built for both interior and exterior use, so closing speed stays consistent when temperatures swing. On an exterior opening keep the door width within 32 to 48 inches and adjust the spring within sizes 1 to 6 for the wind exposure.
17) Is there a lighter or simpler Grade 1 surface closer than the QDC314 for a low traffic interior door?
Yes. The Stanley Security QDC314 is a medium duty Grade 1 closer with a heavy duty arm, hold-open and compression stop. For a lighter interior opening, the BEST SL6000 Series is a light duty Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring sizes, the Norton Rixson 160 Series is a light duty Grade 1 light commercial closer, and the Arrow DCN314 is a light duty Grade 1 surface closer with regular/parallel tri-pack arm and adjustable spring size 1 to 4. Note the Falcon SC91A in that lighter class is Grade 3 rather than Grade 1.
18) Which other closers are barrier free for ADA openings like the QDC314 Barrier Free option?
The Stanley Security QDC314 can be ordered with the Barrier Free option and is listed to ANSI A117.1 along with ANSI/BHMA A156.4. Comparable barrier free choices include the Cal-Royal 500S, a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check, and the Cal-Royal N900PBF in the 900 Series, a Grade 1 barrier free hydraulic surface closer. The Calibre CA9901 is a Grade 1 tri-pack arm ADA closer in sizes 2 to 5, and the Calibre CA4001 is a Grade 1 adjustable spring tension ADA hydraulic closer.
19) For an aluminum storefront door, is the QDC314 the right choice or is there a better match?
The QDC300 body is smaller and narrower, which makes the Stanley Security QDC314 well suited to aluminum storefront openings, and it covers exterior doors 32 to 48 inches wide on 1-3/4 inch doors. The Norton Rixson 1600 Series aluminum storefront closer with tri-style mounting is the direct alternative and is Grade 1 heavy duty. The Norton Rixson 1601P, also 1600 Series Grade 1 medium duty with tri-mount and 180 degree swing, matches the QDC300 footprint.
20) Does anything else use all-weather fluid like the QDC314 for exterior doors?
The Stanley Security QDC314 uses all-weather fluid and is built for both interior and exterior doors, covering exterior openings 32 to 48 inches wide. Among comparable surface closers, the LCN 1250 Series also lists all-weather fluid and is an ADA compliant light duty closer in sizes 1 to 5. If you want a heavier exterior unit, the LCN 1460T is a heavy duty Grade 1 closer with a powder coat finish.
21) What finishes and cover options do I choose from on the QDC314?
Three finishes: 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze and 696 satin brass. Each is available either with a full-size cover or with no cover, and either with the Barrier Free option or without. The no-cover build is the usual pick for back-of-house and mechanical openings where appearance does not matter.
22) I ordered the QDC314 without a cover. Which other closers come less cover?
The Stanley Security QDC314 can be ordered with a full-size cover or with no cover in 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, or 696 satin brass. If you are matching a less-cover look on other openings, the Arrow DCN314 and Arrow DCN325 are both supplied less cover with regular/parallel tri-pack arms, at spring size 1 to 4 and 1 to 6 respectively. For covered units, the Dexter DCH1000 is a Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer with a full cover and the Design Hardware 316 Series includes a cover.
23) What is a cast iron alternative to the QDC314's aluminum-bodied closer?
The Stanley Security QDC314 is a QDC300 Series closer with a smaller, narrower body suited to storefront and medium duty commercial openings. If you want a cast iron body instead, the Sargent 281 Powerglide is a heavy duty Grade 1 cast iron surface closer and the LCN 1261 is a cast iron closer with adjustable spring sizes 1 to 5 in the light to medium duty class. The Sargent 1331 uses a universal aluminum body and is Grade 1 medium duty if you prefer to stay with aluminum.
