Accentra 3 311 689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Accentra 3311 door closer be mounted parallel arm on the push side, or does it have to go on the pull side?
All three mountings ship in the box. The 3311 is tri-packed for regular arm (pull side), parallel arm (push side), and top jamb, so you pick the configuration at install rather than at order time. That matters on doors that open into a corridor, where a pull side closer body sticking into traffic is a problem and parallel arm puts the body flat against the door face under the frame. It is also non-handed, so one unit covers left and right hand openings. Templates for each of the three mountings come with the closer.
2) Will the Accentra 3311 closer hold the door open, and is it adjustable for a heavy exterior door?
Hold open is built into the arm on the 3311, so the door stays put at the open position for moving furniture, deliveries, or loading in. Spring power is field adjustable across sizes 1 through 6, which covers a narrow interior door at the low end up to a wide or heavy exterior door at the top end. One caution: a hold open closer should not go on a fire rated door opening unless it is part of a listed hold open release system, since a fire door has to self close.
3) What is the closest equivalent to the Accentra 3311 door closer from another manufacturer?
The Accentra 3311 is a non-handed surface closer with a tri-packed hold open arm, adjustable spring sizes 1 through 6, and ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certification. The Norton Rixson 8501A is the nearest match on those points: it is a Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer with an adjustable size 1-6 spring. The Dexter DCH4000 is another Grade 1 tri-mount closer that can be regular, parallel, or top jamb mounted. Where the 3311 differs from both is the arm it ships with - the 3311 arm holds the door open, so if you order the 8501A or the DCH4000 you need to confirm the hold open arm separately.
4) Which door closer should I use instead of the Accentra 3311 if I do not want the door to stay open?
The 3311 carries a tri-packed hold open arm, which parks the door at the hold open point until it is pushed shut. For an opening where the door must self-close every time - a fire-rated corridor door, a stair door, a tenant entry - pick a closer whose arm is a non-hold-open version instead. The Design Hardware 116, 316, and 416 Series all carry a tri-packed non-hold open arm, as do the Orca Hardware BHDC1958RA/PA and BHDC1958DA/PA. Orca also builds the same BHDC1958 body with a tri-packed hold open arm as the BHDC1958HO/PA, so that pair lets you run one closer body across an opening set and change only the arm function.
5) Can I substitute a Corbin Russwin DC3200 or DC5230 for an Accentra 3311 door closer?
Both are Grade 1 surface closers, but the arm and mounting are not the same order. The 3311 is tri-packed for regular, parallel, and top jamb mounting with a hold open arm. The Corbin Russwin DC3200 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a regular arm, and the DC5230 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a slide track arm standard for pull side mounting - a slide track is a different door and frame prep than a tri-packed swing arm, so it is not a drop-in for an opening templated for the 3311. Both Corbin Russwin closers list a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The DC6200 and DC8200 Series are Grade 1 double lever regular arm closers for pull side mounting, also at 1-3/4 inch.
6) I need a hold open door closer - is the Stanley A45-501HL the same thing as the Accentra 3311?
Both hold the door open, but they are not the same order. The 3311 is a non-handed closer tri-packed for regular, parallel, or top jamb mounting, so one box covers whichever side of the opening you land on. The Stanley Security A45-501HL is a long hold open arm standard for top jamb mounting - it is the arm, and it is committed to top jamb. If the opening is templated for parallel or regular arm mounting, the A45-501HL is not the substitute; the 3311 or another tri-packed hold open closer such as the Orca BHDC1958HO/PA is the right direction.
7) Is the Falcon SC91A an acceptable substitute for the Accentra 3311 door closer?
Only if the spec does not call for Grade 1. The Accentra 3311 is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certified; the Falcon SC91A is a light duty cast aluminum surface closer at Grade 3. If a facility standard or a drawing calls out Grade 1, stay with the 3311 or move to another Grade 1 Falcon such as the SC61A, a light to medium duty cast aluminum closer, or the SC81A, medium duty cast aluminum. The Cal-Royal 400 Series is Grade 2 and falls into the same caution.
8) If I want delayed action instead of hold open, what closer should I look at rather than the Accentra 3311?
Hold open and delayed action solve different problems. The Accentra 3311 uses a tri-packed hold open arm, which parks the door open until someone moves it. Delayed action instead slows the door through the first part of its swing and then closes it every time - the usual choice for a healthcare or accessible opening where the door must not be left standing open. The Orca Hardware BHDC1958DA/PA and BHDC2011DA/PA are delayed action closers with a regular arm and parallel bracket, tri-packed non-hold open, both for 1-3/4 inch doors.
9) Is the Accentra 3311 heavy duty enough for a high traffic entrance, or should I step up to another closer?
Cast aluminum body, rack and pinion, ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, rated past 25 million cycles: that is a commercial duty closer and it holds up on schools, offices, and retail entries. If your opening is genuinely abusive, a vestibule at a hospital or a warehouse man door taking constant cart traffic, ZenSupply carries extra heavy duty alternatives such as the BEST EHD9000 Series, which is also adjustable 1 through 6, or the Sargent 1431 Powerglide heavy duty closer. Both are Grade 1 as well.
10) I need the same closer but without hold open. What is the difference and what do I order instead?
The 3311 is the hold open version of the Accentra 3000 Series, meaning the arm catches and holds the door at the set open position. If you want the door to close every time, and that is what you want on a fire rated opening or any door with a security or HVAC reason to stay shut, you need the non hold open arm version of the same series rather than this one. Everything else, the cast aluminum body, tri-packed mounting, non-handed operation, and size 1 through 6 adjustment, is the same.
11) Do I need to order a separate closer for left hand and right hand doors?
No. One part number covers both hands on the 3311, since the closer is non-handed and the mounting hardware for regular, parallel, and top jamb is all in the same carton. For a property manager or contractor doing a building full of openings, that means you stock one closer in one finish and sort out handing and mounting on site, instead of counting lefts and rights off the door schedule.
12) How do I adjust the closing speed on an Accentra 3311 if the door slams or does not latch?
Three independent valves handle it on the 3311: sweep controls the main closing speed, latch controls the last few inches into the frame, and backcheck cushions the door on the opening swing. A door that slams usually needs the sweep valve slowed; a door that stops short and does not latch needs latch speed increased or spring size stepped up. The valves are staked, so they will not blow out of the body when someone backs one off too far. Accentra publishes full installation instructions for the 3000 Series.
13) Does the Accentra 3311 come with the screws and mounting hardware, or do I have to buy those separately?
Self-drilling and tapping screws are supplied with the 3311, along with templates for marking hole locations in each of the three mounting configurations. What is not included is any drop plate or special bracket needed when the top rail is too narrow or the frame face is obstructed. Check the head condition on the opening before the truck rolls, because that plate is a separate line item.
14) What door closer works instead of the Accentra 3311 on an aluminum storefront door?
The 3311 fits hollow metal, wood, or aluminum doors and is non-handed with a slim cover. For a storefront opening specifically, the Norton Rixson 1600 Series aluminum storefront closer is built for that application with tri-style mounting and is Grade 1 heavy duty. The Dormakaba 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty jamb track closer for frame face mounting on the pull side with adjustable size 1-6 - a track arm rather than a swing arm, so the header prep differs from a tri-packed closer. Both carry non-hold-open arms, so if you need the door to park open, the 3311 arm function is the one to hold onto.
15) Which LCN door closer is comparable to the Accentra 3311?
On spring range, the LCN 1450 is the closest of the LCN closers - a medium duty surface-mounted closer with cast aluminum construction and spring sizes 1 through 6, matching the 3311 cast aluminum body and adjustable sizes 1 through 6. The LCN 1250 is light duty at sizes 1-5 with all-weather fluid and ADA compliance, and the LCN 1261 is light to medium duty with adjustable spring sizes 1-5 in cast iron rather than aluminum. For a heavier body, the LCN 1460T is a heavy duty Grade 1 commercial closer in a powder coat finish. None of these carries the hold open arm the 3311 ships with, so specify the arm when you cross over.
16) Is there a heavier duty door closer than the Accentra 3311 for a high traffic exterior entrance?
The 3311 is a commercial closer with a cast aluminum body rated to exceed 25 million cycles and adjustable spring sizes 1 through 6. If the opening is a heavy exterior door under wind load or constant traffic and you want a heavier-duty body, the BEST HD8000 Series and the BEST EHD9000 Series are both Grade 1 and rated heavy duty, with the EHD9000 adjustable across spring sizes 1-6 as well. The Sargent 1431 Powerglide and the Falcon SC71A are also Grade 1 heavy duty surface closers. Note that the 3311 ships with a hold open arm, so if hold open is part of the requirement, confirm the arm function on whichever heavy duty body you move to.
17) What is a lighter duty alternative to the Accentra 3311 for an interior office door?
For an interior door that sees office rather than entrance traffic, a light duty Grade 1 closer covers the opening without the spring range the 3311 carries at sizes 1 through 6. The BEST SL6000 Series is a Grade 1 light duty surface closer with adjustable spring sizes, and the Arrow DC314 is a Grade 1 light duty surface closer. The Arrow DCN325 is light duty with an adjustable spring size 1-6 and a regular/parallel tri-pack arm, though it ships less cover, where the 3311 comes with a slim cover.
18) Which door closers match the Accentra 3311 on ADA compliance and Grade 1 certification for a spec that calls for both?
The 3311 is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certified and ADA compliant with adjustable spring sizes 1 through 6, which is what lets it be dialed down to an opening force an accessible entrance can meet. Peers carrying both callouts include the Cal-Royal 500S, a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check; the Cal-Royal N900PBF barrier free Grade 1 hydraulic closer; the Calibre CA4001, a Grade 1 adjustable spring tension ADA hydraulic closer; and the Calibre CA9901, a Grade 1 ADA closer in sizes 2-5. The Imperial USA TC4300 is a heavy duty ADA closer with size 1-6 adjustment.
19) How does the Accentra 3311 compare to the Sargent 1131 and 1331 door closers?
All three are Grade 1 surface closers for commercial openings. The Sargent 1131 is a Grade 1 adjustable surface closer rated medium duty for medium-traffic commercial applications, and the Sargent 1331 is a Grade 1 adjustable surface closer with a universal aluminum body, also medium duty. The Accentra 3311 has a cast aluminum body with rack and pinion design exceeding 25 million cycles, adjustable spring sizes 1 through 6, and separate independent latch, sweep, and backcheck intensity valves. The deciding difference for most openings is the arm: the 3311 ships tri-packed with a hold open arm.
20) Do I need to order a drop plate or a separate cover when cross-shopping the Accentra 3311?
The Accentra 3311 comes with a slim cover and is tri-packed for regular, parallel, and top jamb mounting. Some peers are sold differently and the difference shows up on the job. The Arrow DCN314 and DCN325 ship less cover, so the cover is a separate line. The Arrow DCN500DP parallel drop plate is an accessory for the DCN500, not a closer - if a parallel arm application needs a drop plate to clear the stop, that plate is its own part number. The Dexter DCH1000 is a Grade 1 tri mount closer supplied with a full cover.
21) What finishes does the Accentra 3311 door closer come in to match the rest of my building?
Seven finishes cover the 3311: 689 aluminum painted, 690 dark bronze painted, 691 light bronze painted, 693 black painted, 694 medium bronze painted, 696 satin brass painted, and 613E dark oxidized satin bronze equivalent. For a property manager standardizing a fleet of doors, 689 and 690 are the two that match most existing commercial hardware. The cover is the slim style, so it reads flatter on the door face than a full box cover.
22) Can I use the Accentra 3311 on a residential apartment unit door?
The 3311 is built and specified for commercial use, and it lands most naturally on multi-tenant residential corridors, stair doors, and common area entries rather than inside a single family home. On an apartment entry door in a multi-family building it is appropriate. Adjust the spring down toward size 1 or 2 for a light interior unit door so the opening force stays manageable for residents.
