Accentra 3 111 600 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to order the Accentra 3111 door closer left or right handed?
No handing to specify. The 3111 is non-handed and ships tri-packed, so the same closer covers regular (pull side) mounting, parallel arm on the push side, and top jamb mounting up to a 3 inch reveal. One part number works on either hand of a pair, which is why it standardizes well across a building.
2) Can one Accentra 3111 closer cover both an interior office door and a heavier exterior door?
Within limits, yes. Spring power on the 3111 is field adjustable across sizes 1 through 6, so the same closer can be dialed down for a light interior door or up for a heavier, wider opening. Latch, sweep and backcheck are on separate independent valves, so you tune closing speed and the backcheck cushion without the adjustments fighting each other.
3) Is the Accentra 3111 ADA compliant for opening force on a barrier-free opening?
The 3111 is stated ADA compliant, and the adjustable spring power (sizes 1-6) is what gets you there: you back the spring down to meet the allowable opening force on interior accessible doors, then set the sweep and latch valves so the door still closes and latches fully.
4) What does the hold open on the 3111 actually do, and when should I not use it?
The 3111 carries a hold-open arm, meaning the door stays open at the set point until someone pushes or pulls it closed. That is fine on a corridor or storeroom door, but do not put a mechanical hold open on a fire-rated door that has to self-close and latch. For those openings order the non-hold-open version of the closer instead.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Accentra 3111 door closer from another manufacturer?
The Accentra 3111 is a Grade 1 tri-packed surface closer with adjustable spring sizes 1 through 6 and a hold open arm, mounting regular, parallel, or top jamb. The closest match on the same points is the Norton Rixson 8501A, a Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer with an adjustable size 1-6 spring. The Arrow DCN325 is also a tri-pack with adjustable spring sizes 1 through 6, though it ships less cover. Dexter's DCH4000 Series is a Grade 1 surface closer with the same tri-mount options of regular, parallel, or top jamb.
6) I need a hold-open closer but the 3111 is more closer than the opening calls for. What is a simpler option?
The Accentra 3111 is a Grade 1 architectural closer rated past 25 million cycles with independent latch, sweep, and backcheck valves. For a lighter interior opening where that level of control is not needed, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958HO carries a tri-packed hold open arm for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Stanley Security A45-501HL is a long hold open arm closer set up for top jamb mounting. Cal-Royal's 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic closer, a step down in certification from the Grade 1 3111.
7) The door is a high-traffic exterior entrance. Is there a heavier closer than the Accentra 3111?
The 3111 uses a cast aluminum body with a rack and pinion design and is rated to exceed 25 million cycles. If the opening calls for a heavy-duty classification, the BEST EHD9000 Series is an extra heavy-duty Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-6, and the BEST HD8000 Series is heavy duty and Grade 1. Falcon's SC71A is a heavy-duty Grade 1 surface closer, and the Sargent 281 Powerglide is a heavy-duty Grade 1 closer with a cast iron body rather than aluminum.
8) Which closers look like substitutes for the Accentra 3111 but do not give you a hold open arm?
The 3111 is supplied with a hold open arm. Several closers that otherwise line up on mounting do not carry one: the Design Hardware 116, 316, and 416 Series are all specified with a tri-packed non-hold open arm, the Dormakaba 8616 AF86P is a tri-pack with a flat non-hold open arm, and the Orca BHDC1958RA/PA is a tri-packed non-hold open arm closer. If the opening needs the door to stand open, those require a different arm selection.
9) Will the Accentra 3111 work on a door with a deep frame reveal?
Top jamb mounting on the 3111 is rated to a 3 inch reveal. Past that you are outside what the supplied arm covers and you would need a different mounting approach or a drop plate for the opening.
10) Is the Accentra 3111 heavy duty enough for a school or hospital entrance?
It is a Grade 1 closer with a cast aluminum body and rack and pinion operation, rated to exceed 25 million cycles, and it is a commercial-duty product. That covers high-traffic school corridors, healthcare, retail and multi-tenant openings. For extra heavy duty exterior abuse some buyers step up to a cast iron body closer such as the Sargent 281 Powerglide.
11) Do I need to buy separate hardware to mount the Accentra 3111 parallel arm?
No separate arm package. Because it ships tri-packed, the regular, parallel and top jamb mounting hardware comes with the closer, and it installs with the self-drilling and tapping screws provided. You choose the mounting at install rather than at order time.
12) My spec calls for a slide track or concealed-arm closer instead of a standard arm. What replaces the Accentra 3111?
The 3111 uses conventional arm mounting in regular, parallel, or top jamb configurations. Where the drawing calls for track hardware instead, the Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a slide track arm as standard for pull side mounting on 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 jamb track closer for frame face pull side mounting with an adjustable size 1-6 spring. Both change the door and frame preparation from what the 3111 templates call for.
13) If I am standardizing a facility on one closer, what else is Grade 1 with a size 1-6 adjustable spring like the Accentra 3111?
The Accentra 3111 is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 with adjustable spring sizes 1 through 6, which lets one part cover a range of door widths and weights. Comparable size 1-6 Grade 1 options include the BEST EHD9000 Series, the Norton Rixson 8501A tri-mount, and the Dorma 8916-JT. The Imperial USA TC4300 Series is a heavy-duty size 1-6 ADA closer, and the LCN 1450 is a medium-duty closer with spring sizes 1-6. Spring range is only part of the match; mounting style and arm type also have to line up with the openings you are covering.
14) Is there a light-duty alternative to the Accentra 3111 for low-traffic interior doors?
For lighter interior openings, 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 closer with an adjustable spring, and the Arrow DC314 is a light-duty Grade 1 closer. The LCN 1250 Series is light duty with sizes 1-5 and all-weather fluid. All of these sit below the 3111's architectural rating of more than 25 million cycles, and none is stated to include the hold open arm the 3111 carries.
15) Does the Accentra 3111 handle a 3 inch reveal, and what else works on a deep reveal top jamb condition?
The Accentra 3111 is templated for top jamb mounting to a 3 inch reveal as part of its tri-packed arrangement, so the standard package covers that condition without a separate bracket. Among comparable tri-mount closers, the Dexter DCH4000 and DCL2000 Series are Grade 1 surface closers offered in regular, parallel, or top jamb mounting, and the Norton Rixson 1601P is a Grade 1 tri-mount closer with 180 degree swing. Confirm the reveal each of those arms is templated for against your frame condition.
16) I need delayed action rather than hold open. What should I order instead of the Accentra 3111?
The 3111 provides a hold open arm along with independent latch, sweep, and backcheck intensity valves, but not a delayed action function. Where the opening needs the door to pause before closing, such as accessible or healthcare traffic, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958DA/PA and BHDC2011DA/PA are delayed action closers with a regular arm and parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both are a different function from hold open and should be specified deliberately.
17) What finishes does the Accentra 3111 come in?
Ten finishes: 600 primed for painting, 689 aluminum painted, 690 dark bronze, 691 light bronze, 693 black, 694 medium bronze, 696 satin brass, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze equivalent, plus BSP black suede and WSP white suede powder coats. The 600 primed option is the one to pick when the closer has to be field painted to match a door color.
18) Will the closer adjustments drift out of setting over time on a busy door?
The 3111 uses staked valves, so the latch, sweep and backcheck needles stay put rather than backing out under cycling or being blown out during adjustment. Combined with the rack and pinion mechanism and the 25 million cycle rating, it is built for openings that get worked hard.
19) Which items in the door closer aisle are not substitutes for the Accentra 3111 at all?
The Accentra 3111 is a complete surface mounted closer supplied tri-packed for regular, parallel, or top jamb mounting. Some adjacent part numbers are components, not closers: the Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate for the DCN500, and the Stanley Security 327 and 341 are wardrobe pivots for cabinet and closet doors rather than door control hardware. None of these will close an opening on their own.
