Tell DC9016-REG-AL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need to order a left-hand or right-hand version of the Tell 900 Series closer?
No handing to specify. The 900 Series DC9016 is non-handed, so one body covers both left and right hand doors. Pick your finish and mount it the way the opening needs.
2) Can this closer be mounted on the push side of the door instead of the pull side?
Both sides work. The DC9016 mounts regular arm (pull side), top jamb, or parallel arm, which covers push side applications. Parallel arm is the usual choice when you need the closer body out of the way on the push side of an out-swinging exterior door; top jamb suits storefront and narrow-top-rail conditions where the body goes on the frame face.
3) Is the Tell DC9016 a Grade 1 closer, and is it UL listed?
Grade 1 to ANSI A156.4, tested to 2 million cycles, and UL listed. That is the spec level a school, hospital, or municipal facility standardizes on for high-traffic openings, so it satisfies a Grade 1 line item on a hardware schedule.
4) Will the Tell 900 Series closer mount on an aluminum storefront door, or do I need separate fasteners for hollow metal and wood?
Fasteners supplied with the DC9016 cover aluminum, hollow metal, and wood doors and frames, so one part number handles a storefront leaf, a hollow metal fire door frame, and a wood interior door. For glass front installers that means no separate sex-bolt or machine-screw pack to chase down for a standard aluminum install.
5) What adjustments can I make in the field if the door slams or won't latch?
Three independent valves plus spring power. Sweep and latch speed are separately adjustable, so a door that slams gets the sweep slowed and a door that stalls short of the strike gets the latch speed increased. Backcheck is also adjustable, which is what protects the door and frame when someone throws it open in the wind. If the leaf still won't close against stack pressure after the valves are set, step the spring power up within the 1 to 6 range.
6) Can the Tell DC9016 replace a 4041 series closer on my existing doors?
Yes, the 900 Series DC9016 is a 4041 series equivalent, which is the standard heavy-duty commercial footprint on most Grade 1 openings. For a property manager standardizing a building, one DC9016 covers interior and exterior leaves from 30 to 48 inches and mounts three ways, so you can carry a single part number across mixed openings instead of stocking several.
7) How much does the door open with this closer installed, and can I hold it open?
Maximum door opening is 180 degrees, so the closer itself won't limit swing on an opening with clear wall space. Note the arm supplied is an adjustable extension arm, not a hold-open arm, so it will not park the door open. If you need hold-open, that is a different arm option.
8) What finishes does the Tell 900 Series closer come in, and is the cover metal?
Two finishes: Aluminum and Duranodic. The cover is plastic, finished to match, over a cast steel body. Duranodic is the dark bronze tone that blends with bronze anodized storefront; Aluminum matches clear anodized frames.
