Accentra 3501M 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Accentra 3501 door closer be mounted on the pull side, push side, or on the frame?
All three. The 3501 ships tri-packed, so the same carton covers regular (pull side) mounting, parallel arm (push side) mounting, and top jamb mounting on the frame face. You pick the configuration at install and use the matching template, which means one part number covers openings that swing different ways across a building.
2) Do I need to order the Accentra 3501 closer left hand or right hand?
No handing to specify. The 3501 is non-handed, so one closer works on either a left or right hand door. The only thing you choose on the order is finish.
3) Will one Accentra 3501 closer work on both a narrow office door and a wide heavy entry door?
Within its range, yes. Spring power is adjustable across sizes 1 through 6, so the same closer can be dialed down for a light interior door or up for a heavier exterior opening. You set the spring at install to match the door width and weight, then fine tune with the separate latch, sweep, and backcheck valves.
4) Does the Accentra 3501 hold the door open?
No. The 3501 is supplied with a non-hold open arm, so the door closes every time it is released. If an opening needs to stay propped, that calls for a hold open arm closer instead. The Orca Hardware BHDC1958 Series is offered in a tri-packed hold open arm version.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Accentra 3501 door closer from another manufacturer?
The Accentra 3501 is a Grade 1 surface mounted closer with tri-packed regular, parallel, and top jamb mounting and an adjustable spring size 1 through 6. The Norton Rixson 8501A is a Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer with an adjustable size 1-6 spring, and the Dexter DCH1000 is a Grade 1 surface closer with tri mount (regular, parallel or top jamb) and a full cover, matching the 3501's covered appearance. The Calibre CA9901 is also a Grade 1 tri-pack arm closer, though its spring range is stated as size 2-5.
6) I need a hold open closer instead of the Accentra 3501 - what should I order?
The Accentra 3501 uses a tri-packed non-hold open arm, so it will not hold the door open at a set position. For a hold open function in a tri-packed configuration, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958HO/PA is a tri-packed hold open arm closer with a parallel bracket. The Stanley Security A45-501HL is a long hold open arm closer in a top jamb configuration.
7) I need a slide track or track arm closer, not the Accentra 3501 - what is comparable?
The Accentra 3501 uses a tri-packed swing arm for regular, parallel, or top jamb mounting, not a track. Where a track arm is called out on the drawing, the Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a slide track arm standard for pull side mounting, and the Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty jamb track closer for frame face mounting on the pull side with adjustable size 1-6.
8) Does the Accentra 3501 offer delayed action, or do I need a different closer?
The Accentra 3501 provides separate and independent latch, sweep, and backcheck intensity valves with a non-hold open tri-packed arm. For an opening that needs delayed action, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958DA/PA and BHDC2011DA/PA are delayed action closers with a regular arm and parallel bracket, both in a tri-packed non-hold open arm configuration for 1-3/4 inch doors.
9) Can I substitute a Grade 2 closer for the Accentra 3501?
No, not if the specification calls for Grade 1. The Accentra 3501 carries ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certification. The Cal-Royal 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic closer and the Falcon SC91A is a Grade 3 light duty cast aluminum closer, so neither will satisfy a Grade 1 requirement. Grade 1 substitutes in the same family include the Cal-Royal 500S barrier free closer with adjustable back-check and the Cal-Royal 700S dual valve sized closer with adjustable tube arm.
10) Standardizing a facility on one closer - which alternatives to the Accentra 3501 also cover adjustable spring sizes 1 through 6?
The Accentra 3501 covers an adjustable spring range of sizes 1 through 6 in a single Grade 1 non-handed body, which is what makes it suitable for standardizing across mixed door widths. Other closers with the same 1-6 adjustable range include the BEST EHD9000 extra heavy duty Grade 1, the Norton Rixson 8501A Grade 1 tri-mount, the Arrow DCN325 Grade 1 less-cover tri-pack, the LCN 1450 medium duty cast aluminum closer, and the Imperial USA TC4300 Grade 1 heavy duty ADA closer.
11) Will a parallel-arm-only or regular-arm-only closer work where the Accentra 3501 is specified?
Only if that single mounting matches the opening. The Accentra 3501 is tri-packed, so one part number covers regular, parallel, and top jamb mounting. Closers supplied for a single configuration include the Corbin Russwin DC3200 Grade 1 regular arm surface closer, the Corbin Russwin DC6200 and DC8200 with double lever regular arm for pull side mounting, the Calibre CA8001P parallel arm size 1 closer, and the Calibre CA5501 standard arm closer. Choosing one of those commits the job to that mounting side.
12) Which alternative to the Accentra 3501 suits an aluminum storefront door?
The Accentra 3501 is a Grade 1 non-handed surface closer with tri-packed mounting used across commercial office, retail, and institutional openings. For aluminum storefront specifically, the Norton Rixson 1600 Series aluminum storefront closer is a heavy duty Grade 1 unit with tri-style mounting, and the Norton Rixson 1601P is a medium duty Grade 1 tri-mount closer with 180 degree swing.
13) Is the Accentra 3501 tough enough for a high traffic entrance?
It is built for it. The body is cast aluminum with a rack and pinion mechanism, tested to exceed 25 million cycles, and the hydraulic valves are staked so they cannot be backed out or tampered with. That combination is what you want on school corridors, retail entries, and apartment common doors.
14) What adjustments can I make after the Accentra 3501 closer is installed?
Four independent ones: spring power across sizes 1-6, plus separate latch speed, sweep speed, and backcheck intensity valves. Because the three hydraulic valves are independent, you can slow the sweep for an accessible opening without losing the latch speed that pushes the door into the strike, and set backcheck to stop the door slamming into an adjacent wall.
15) Is there a medium duty step down from the Accentra 3501 for moderate traffic doors?
The Accentra 3501 is a Grade 1 closer rated to exceed 25 million cycles for demanding commercial traffic. For moderate traffic, medium duty Grade 1 options include the Sargent 1131 adjustable surface closer for medium-traffic commercial applications, the Sargent 1331 with universal aluminum body, the BEST HD7000 with adjustable spring power and backcheck control, the Dormakaba 7303 standard duty closer, and the Dormakaba 7414 in size 1-4.
16) What is a lighter duty option than the Accentra 3501 for an interior office door?
The Accentra 3501 is built for demanding commercial traffic with a Grade 1 rating and an adjustable spring size 1 through 6. For lighter interior openings, the BEST SL6000 is a light duty Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring sizes, the Norton Rixson 160 is a light duty Grade 1 light commercial closer with adjustable spring, and the LCN 1250 is a light duty closer in sizes 1-5 with all-weather fluid and ADA compliance.
17) Which other tri-packed non-hold open closers match the Accentra 3501 function code?
The Accentra 3501 is a tri-packed non-hold open arm closer. Design Hardware lists the same tri-packed non-hold open arm function across its 116 Series and 416 Series heavy duty closers and its 316 Series medium to heavy duty closer with cover. The Dormakaba 8616 AF86P FC SNB1 689 is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer with a flat arm non-hold open, tri-pack function. Orca's BHDC1958RA/PA is a tri-packed non-hold open closer with regular arm and parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors.
18) What is a cast aluminum alternative to the Accentra 3501, and which comparable closers use cast iron?
The Accentra 3501 has a cast aluminum body with a rack and pinion design. Comparable cast aluminum bodies include the Falcon SC81A medium duty Grade 1, the Falcon SC61A light to medium duty Grade 1, the LCN 1450 medium duty, and the Sargent 1331 with a universal aluminum body. If a cast iron body is preferred for the opening, the LCN 1261 is a light to medium duty cast iron closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-5 and the Sargent 281 Powerglide is a heavy duty cast iron closer.
19) I searched for Accentra 3501 alternatives and got pivots and screws - are those substitutes?
No. The Accentra 3501 is a surface mounted architectural door closer with an adjustable spring and hydraulic valve control. The Stanley Security 327 heavy wardrobe pivot for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors up to 150 lbs and the Stanley 341 wardrobe pivot for 1-1/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch doors are hanging hardware, not closers, and the Stanley 57-0100 steel machine screws for architectural hinges are fasteners. The Arrow DCN500DP parallel drop plate is a mounting accessory for the DCN500, not a closer.
20) Are there ADA-compliant alternatives to the Accentra 3501 for a barrier-free opening?
The Accentra 3501 is ADA compliant with independent latch, sweep, and backcheck valves for tuning closing force. Other ADA options include the Cal-Royal 500S Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check, the Cal-Royal N900PBF Grade 1 barrier free hydraulic surface closer, the Calibre CA4001 adjustable spring tension ADA hydraulic closer, and the Imperial USA TC4300 Grade 1 heavy duty size 1-6 ADA closer.
21) What finishes does the Accentra 3501 door closer come in?
Five: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 625 bright chrome, and 626 satin chrome. Satin chrome (626) is the usual pick when you are matching existing commercial lever trim and hinges across a building; the brass and bronze options are there for openings where the closer needs to blend with decorative hardware.
22) Does the Accentra 3501 come with mounting screws?
Yes, self-drilling and tapping screws are provided, and the manufacturer templates for marking hole locations come with it. You prepare the door and frame per those templates for whichever of the three mounting positions you are using.
