Accentra 3101DL 600 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does delayed action do on the Accentra 3101DL door closer, and when would I want it?
Delayed action holds the door open longer in the early part of the swing before the sweep begins, which gives someone pushing a cart, a wheelchair user, or a nurse with a patient time to clear the opening. On the 3101DL it works alongside separate, independent latch, sweep, and backcheck intensity valves, so you can set the delay without giving up control at the latch. Note this is a non-hold-open closer: it delays, then closes every time. If you want the door to stay parked open, you need a hold-open arm instead.
2) Can one Accentra 3101DL closer be used for regular, parallel, and top jamb mounting, or do I order a different model for each?
One part covers all three. The 3101DL ships tri-packed for regular arm, parallel arm, and top jamb mounting up to a 3 inch reveal, so the same box handles pull side, push side, and frame face applications. It is also non-handed, meaning left and right hand openings take the same closer. For a property manager standardizing a building, that means one SKU per finish on the shelf instead of three.
3) Will the Accentra 3101DL work on a wide entry door, or is it only for interior doors?
Spring power is field adjustable through sizes 1 to 6, which covers everything from a light interior office door up to a heavy exterior entrance. You set the size with the adjustment on the closer rather than ordering a fixed-size unit, so the same closer can be tuned down for an ADA interior opening or wound up for a wide, weather-exposed door. The 3000 Series body is cast aluminum with a rack and pinion mechanism and staked valves.
4) Is the Accentra 3101DL ADA compliant and what grade is it?
ADA compliant and certified to ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, with cycle life stated at over 25 million cycles. For an institutional spec that calls for a Grade 1 surface closer on a barrier-free opening, the 3101DL meets it. Getting the ADA opening force in practice still comes down to dialing the spring size down at install and setting the sweep valve, since the closer is field adjustable across sizes 1 to 6.
5) Will the 3101DL work if the frame face is set back from the door, like a deep reveal storefront?
Top jamb mounting on the 3101DL is rated to a 3 inch reveal. If your reveal measures within that, top jamb works straight out of the box. Beyond 3 inches you are outside what this closer is built to handle and you should be looking at a different mounting approach or a track arm closer, such as the Corbin Russwin DC5230 which is a Grade 1 surface closer with a slide track arm as standard.
6) The door needs to stay open on its own. What is the hold open version instead of the Accentra 3101DL?
The 3101DL is a non-hold open closer, so the arm returns the door every cycle. If the opening calls for the door to stand open, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958HO/PA is a hold open closer with a tri-packed hold open arm for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Stanley Security A45-501HL is another hold open option, supplied with a long hold open arm for top jamb mounting. Note that the Orca hold open model is the hold open arm variant rather than the delayed action variant, so you would be trading the delayed action circuit for the hold open function.
7) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Accentra 3101DL delayed-action door closer?
For a like-for-like delayed action closer, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958DA/PA is a delayed action closer supplied as a tri-packed non-hold open arm, the same arm function as the 3101DL, and it is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Orca BHDC2011DA/PA is a second delayed action option, also tri-packed non-hold open for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both match the 3101DL on the two things that usually drive the selection: delayed action in the hydraulics and a non-hold open arm that mounts regular, parallel, or top jamb. Where the 3101DL differs is adjustable spring sizes 1 through 6 in a cast aluminum body with ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certification and separate latch, sweep, and backcheck valves.
8) I need the same size 1-6 Grade 1 closer as the Accentra 3101DL but the opening does not need delayed action. What should I order?
Several Grade 1 closers cover adjustable spring sizes 1 through 6 without the delayed action circuit. The Norton Rixson 8501A is a Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer with an adjustable size 1-6 spring, medium duty. The BEST EHD9000 Series is an extra heavy-duty Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-6. The Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer adjustable size 1-6, though it is a jamb track closer for frame face, pull side mounting rather than a tri-pack. The LCN 1450 is a medium duty cast aluminum closer with spring sizes 1-6. The 3101DL keeps the same 1-6 spring range and tri-packed regular, parallel, and top jamb mounting while adding the delayed action function.
9) The Accentra 3101DL is not heavy enough for an exterior entrance that sees abuse. What steps up from it?
For high-abuse exterior openings, the BEST HD8000 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty surface closer and the BEST EHD9000 Series is an extra heavy-duty Grade 1 closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-6. Sargent offers the 1431 Powerglide heavy-duty surface closer with adjustable spring power and the 281 Powerglide in a cast iron body, both Grade 1 heavy duty. The Falcon SC71A is a Grade 1 heavy-duty surface closer, and the LCN 1460T is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer in a powder coat finish. The 3101DL remains a Grade 1 closer with a cast aluminum body rated past 25 million cycles, so the step up is mainly body construction and duty rating rather than certification level.
10) My spec calls for ANSI/BHMA Grade 1. Which alternatives to the Accentra 3101DL meet that, and which do not?
The 3101DL is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certified and ADA compliant. Grade 1 alternatives include the Cal-Royal 500S barrier free closer with adjustable back-check, the Cal-Royal 700S dual valve sized closer with adjustable tube arm, the Calibre CA9901 tri-pack arm size 2-5 ADA closer, the Sargent 1131 and 1331, and the Corbin Russwin DC3200 regular arm surface closer. Two that will not satisfy a Grade 1 spec are the Cal-Royal 400 Series hydraulic closer, which is Grade 2, and the Falcon SC91A light duty cast aluminum closer, which is Grade 3.
11) What finishes does the Accentra 3101DL come in, and is there one I can paint to match a door?
Ten finishes: 600 primed for painting, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze equivalent, 689 aluminum painted, 690 dark bronze painted, 691 light bronze painted, 693 black painted, 694 medium bronze painted, 696 satin brass painted, BSP black suede powder coat, and WSP white suede powder coat. If you need to match a custom door color, order 600 and finish it on site. For exterior or high-touch openings the suede powder coats hold up better than a standard painted finish.
12) Do I need to buy a drop plate or bracket to mount the Accentra 3101DL on the push side?
Parallel arm mounting is included in the tri-pack, so the parallel bracket comes with the closer rather than being a separate order. Self-drilling and tapping screws are also supplied, and mounting templates come in the box. What you may still need is a drop plate, and that depends entirely on your frame: a narrow top rail or a frame stop that leaves too little flat surface calls for one. Check the frame face before the crew is on site.
13) What is the difference between the Accentra 3101DL and a standard non-delayed 3000 Series closer?
The DL suffix is the delayed action. Body, mounting, and adjustment are the same 3000 Series platform: cast aluminum, non-handed, tri-packed for regular, parallel, and top jamb, spring sizes 1 to 6, independent latch, sweep, and backcheck valves. The delayed action adds a slow initial portion of the close before the sweep takes over. Specify DL on openings where people need extra time in the doorway; skip it where a normal close is fine and the delay would just slow traffic down.
14) Does the Accentra 3101DL have backcheck to keep the door from slamming into a wall?
Yes, backcheck intensity is its own independent valve on the 3101DL, separate from the latch and sweep valves. That lets you cushion the door near the end of the opening swing without touching closing speed. Backcheck is not a substitute for a stop, though. On an opening where the door can reach a wall, still fit an overhead or wall stop.
15) For a light-traffic interior office door, is there a lighter closer than the Accentra 3101DL?
Yes. The 3101DL is built for demanding commercial traffic with a cast aluminum body rated to exceed 25 million cycles. For lighter interior openings, the BEST SL6000 Series is a Grade 1 light duty surface closer with adjustable spring sizes, and the Norton Rixson 160 Series is a Grade 1 light duty surface closer with an adjustable spring. The LCN 1250 Series is a light duty closer in sizes 1-5 with all-weather fluid and ADA compliance. The Arrow DCN325 is a Grade 1 light duty tri-pack with adjustable spring size 1-6 but is supplied less cover. Keep in mind none of these carry the delayed action function that defines the 3101DL.
16) Which other tri-mount closers install regular, parallel, or top jamb the same way the Accentra 3101DL does?
The 3101DL ships tri-packed for regular, parallel, and top jamb mounting up to a 3 inch reveal and is non-handed. Dexter offers four tri-mount Grade 1 surface closers that cover regular, parallel, or top jamb mounting: the DCH1000 with full cover, the DCH4000, the DCL2000, and the DCM1000. The Norton Rixson 1601P is a Grade 1 tri-mount closer with a 180 degree swing, and the Norton Rixson 8501A is Grade 1 tri-mount with an adjustable size 1-6 spring. Design Hardware 116, 316, and 416 Series closers are supplied with a tri-packed non-hold open arm. Among these, the 3101DL is the one carrying delayed action.
17) Can I use a slide track or double lever arm closer in place of the Accentra 3101DL?
Only if the opening is prepped for it. The 3101DL uses a standard tri-packed arm for regular, parallel, or top jamb mounting. The Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a slide track arm standard, pull side mounting, for 1-3/4 inch doors, which needs frame track space and a pull side application. The Corbin Russwin DC6200 and DC8200 are Grade 1 surface closers with a double lever regular arm, pull side mounting, also for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Dorma 8616 AF86P uses a flat arm in a non-hold open tri-pack. These are not drop-in swaps for a 3101DL already mounted parallel arm on the push side; the arm geometry and the side of the door change with them.
18) What looks like a substitute for the Accentra 3101DL but will not work as one?
Two things in the same aisle are not closers at all. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate for the DCN500, a mounting accessory rather than a closer body. The Stanley 327 and 341 are wardrobe pivots and the Stanley 57-0100 is a box of steel machine screws for architectural hinges. Also check the spring range before you swap: the Arrow DCN314 is a tri-pack closer with adjustable spring size 1-4, and the Dormakaba 7414 is a size 1-4 closer, both short of the size 1 through 6 range the 3101DL covers. The Calibre CA8001P is a parallel arm size 1 closer, a fixed single size. And the Arrow DCN314 and DCN325 are supplied less cover, where the 3101DL is a finished architectural closer offered in finishes including 689 aluminum painted and 690 dark bronze painted.
19) I need a barrier-free ADA closer and the Accentra 3101DL is not available in the finish I want. What else is ADA rated?
The 3101DL is ADA compliant with independently adjustable latch, sweep, and backcheck valves, and it comes in ten finishes including 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 693 black painted, and BSP black suede powder coat. If you need a different ADA-rated closer, the Cal-Royal 500S is a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check and the Cal-Royal N900PBF is a Grade 1 barrier free hydraulic surface closer. The Calibre CA4001 is a Grade 1 adjustable spring tension ADA hydraulic closer, and the Imperial USA TC4300 is a heavy duty size 1-6 ADA closer. The LCN 1250 is ADA compliant in sizes 1-5.
20) What is the difference between the Accentra 3101DL and the Orca BHDC1958RA/PA when both are non-hold open?
Both are non-hold open closers with a tri-packed arm. The Orca BHDC1958RA/PA is the standard regular arm version with a parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors, without delayed action. The Orca BHDC1958DA/PA is the delayed action member of that same series. The 3101DL is the delayed action model, so the direct counterpart within the Orca line is the DA version, not the RA. If the opening does not need the door to pause on its swing, the RA version covers the same non-hold open function.
21) The Accentra 3101DL has a cast aluminum body. Which alternatives use cast iron instead?
If the spec or the environment calls for a cast iron body rather than the cast aluminum body of the 3101DL, the LCN 1261 is a surface closer with cast iron construction and adjustable spring sizes 1-5, rated light to medium duty. The Sargent 281 Powerglide is a cast iron surface closer with heavy-duty construction, Grade 1. Among cast aluminum peers, the Falcon SC81A is a medium duty cast aluminum Grade 1 closer and the Falcon SC61A is a light to medium duty cast aluminum Grade 1 closer, both sharing the body material of the 3101DL.
