Accentra 3511-689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Accentra 3511 door closer hold a door open, and can I turn that off?
The 3511 uses a tri-packed hold open arm, so the arm itself is what holds the door open at the position you set. If you want a closer that always closes and never stays open, that is a different arm configuration, not an adjustment on this one. Orca Hardware's BHDC1958 series is sold both ways: the hold open version and a tri-packed non-hold-open version, so it is a straightforward place to go if half your openings need hold open and half do not.
2) Does the Accentra 3511 closer mount on the pull side or the push side of the door?
Both. The 3511 ships tri-packed, meaning one box covers regular arm (pull side), parallel arm (push side, closer on the door with the arm on the frame soffit), and top jamb (closer on the frame). You pick the configuration at install using the correct template, so you do not have to know which side you are working on before you order. That matters on a retrofit where you find the existing closer is parallel arm and the drawing said regular.
3) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand version of the Accentra 3511 closer?
No handing to specify. The 3511 is non-handed, so the same closer works on a left or right hand door. For a property manager buying a few at a time for a building, that means one part number covers every opening and you are not stuck with a shelf of the wrong hand.
4) What size door will the Accentra 3511 closer handle?
Spring power is field adjustable across sizes 1 through 6, which spans the range from a light interior door up to a wide, heavy exterior door. You set it on site to match the actual door weight and width rather than ordering a fixed size. If the opening is an interior office door you dial it down; an exterior entry into wind gets dialed up. Closers with a narrower range exist, for example the Arrow DCN314 tri-pack adjusts only 1 through 4, so it will not cover the heaviest doors the 3511 will.
5) Is the Accentra 3511 closer ADA compliant for a barrier free opening?
ADA compliant, and the reason it can be is the separate, independent latch, sweep, and backcheck valves. Opening force and closing speed on a barrier free door depend on getting sweep dialed correctly without giving up latching force, and independent valves are what let you do that. Staked valves mean they will not back themselves out of adjustment once you have set them.
6) Is the Accentra 3511 a Grade 1 closer, and what cycle life does it carry?
ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certified, exceeding 25 million cycles. For an institutional buyer standardizing across a facility, that is the tier you want on corridor and entry doors that get hit all day. Grade 1 is the top commercial grade under the BHMA closer standard. If a Grade 2 closer is acceptable on lower traffic openings, the Cal-Royal 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic closer.
7) What is a direct alternative to the Accentra 3511 tri-packed hold open closer from another manufacturer?
The Orca Hardware BHDC1958HO/PA is the closest match in function: it is a tri-packed hold open arm closer, the same arm function the Accentra 3511 carries, and it is supplied with a parallel bracket. The Orca is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Accentra 3511 is adjustable spring size 1 through 6 and mounts regular, parallel, or top jamb from the tri-pack. If the opening needs hold open and the arm has to serve any of the three mounting positions, both are built for that job.
8) I need the same closer but without hold open - the door has to close every time. What should I order?
For a non-hold-open arm in the same tri-packed format, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958RA/PA is a tri-packed non-hold open arm closer with a regular arm and parallel bracket, rated for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Design Hardware 116 Series and 416 Series are also tri-packed non-hold open arm closers in a heavy duty build. The Accentra 3511 carries a tri-packed hold open arm, so a hold open detent is part of what you are buying; on a fire-rated opening or any door that must self-close and latch unassisted, the non-hold-open arm is the one to specify.
9) Which Grade 1 surface closers besides the Accentra 3511 adjust across spring sizes 1 through 6?
Several. The BEST EHD9000 Series is a Grade 1 extra heavy-duty surface closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-6. The Norton Rixson 8501A is a Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer with an adjustable size 1-6 spring, medium duty. The Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer adjustable size 1-6, though it is a jamb track, frame face mounting closer for the pull side rather than a tri-pack. The LCN 1450 is a medium duty closer with spring sizes 1-6. The Accentra 3511 is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 with adjustable spring sizes 1 through 6 and a cast aluminum body. A 1-6 range is what lets one part number cover interior offices through heavier exterior leaves on the same standardization order.
10) The opening is a high-traffic exterior entrance. Is there a heavier closer than the Accentra 3511?
Yes. The BEST HD8000 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty surface closer, and the BEST EHD9000 Series steps up again to extra heavy-duty with spring sizes 1-6. The Sargent 1431 Powerglide is a Grade 1 heavy-duty surface closer with adjustable spring power, and the Sargent 281 Powerglide is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer with a cast iron body. The LCN 1460T is a Grade 1 heavy duty commercial closer in a powder coat finish. The Accentra 3511 uses a cast aluminum body and exceeds 25 million cycles; where the entrance sees wind load and constant abuse, a cast iron or extra heavy-duty body is the usual specification.
11) What other tri-mount closers cover regular, parallel, and top jamb mounting the way the Accentra 3511 does?
The Dexter DCH1000 Series is a Grade 1 surface closer with tri mount covering regular, parallel, or top jamb mounting and a full cover, matching both the mounting flexibility and the covered body of the Accentra 3511, which ships with a metal cover. The Dexter DCH4000, DCL2000 and DCM1000 Series are also Grade 1 tri mount closers for regular, parallel or top jamb. The Norton Rixson 1601P is a Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer with 180 degree swing at a medium duty level. One tri-pack part number handles a mixed set of openings without deciding the mounting position at the time of order.
12) The Accentra 3511 arm will not clear the frame on a narrow top rail. What closer works instead?
When the header will not take a standard tri-pack arm, a track closer is the usual answer. The Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a slide track arm as standard, mounted on the pull side, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 jamb track closer for frame face mounting on the pull side, adjustable size 1-6. Both put the arm in a track rather than the projecting scissor arm the Accentra 3511 tri-pack uses, which is what buys the clearance on a tight reveal or a narrow stile.
13) I need a delayed action closer for an accessible entrance, not a hold open. What do you have?
The Orca Hardware BHDC1958DA/PA is a delayed action closer with a regular arm and parallel bracket, tri-packed non-hold open arm, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Orca BHDC2011DA/PA is the same delayed action configuration in the BHDC2011 Series. Delayed action holds the door open briefly during the swing and then closes it, which is a different behavior from the hold open detent on the Accentra 3511 tri-packed hold open arm - delayed action always closes on its own, so it suits an opening where a wheelchair or cart needs extra passage time but the door must not stand open.
14) Do I need the Arrow DCN325 instead of the Accentra 3511, and what is the difference?
The Arrow DCN325 is a Grade 1 surface door closer, less cover, with a regular/parallel arm tri-pack and adjustable spring size 1 - 6, at a light duty level. The spring range matches the Accentra 3511, which is also adjustable 1 through 6. Two differences decide it: the Arrow DCN325 is supplied less cover, while the Accentra 3511 comes with a metal cover in painted finishes including 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, and 693 black. The Arrow DCN325 arm tri-pack is described as regular/parallel, while the Accentra 3511 tri-pack covers regular, parallel, and top jamb. If the closer is going on an exposed public-side opening, the covered body is usually the specified item. The Arrow DCN314 is the same less-cover tri-pack in an adjustable spring size 1 - 4.
15) Is the Cal-Royal 400 Series an equivalent substitute for the Accentra 3511?
Not on the grade line. The Cal-Royal 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic door closer, while the Accentra 3511 is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certified. If a specification or a facility standard calls for Grade 1, the Cal-Royal 400 will not satisfy it. Cal-Royal Grade 1 options do exist in this class: the Cal-Royal 500S is a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check, the 700S is a Grade 1 dual valve sized closer with an adjustable tube arm, and the N900PBF is a Grade 1 barrier free hydraulic surface closer.
16) I am standardizing a whole facility on one Grade 1 ADA closer. What are my choices alongside the Accentra 3511?
Good candidates for a single-part-number facility standard are closers that adjust across a wide spring range on a Grade 1 body. The Calibre CA9901 is a Grade 1 tri-pack arm ADA surface mount closer in sizes 2-5. The Calibre CA4001 is a Grade 1 adjustable spring tension ADA hydraulic closer. The Imperial USA TC4300 is a heavy duty Grade 1-class size 1-6 ADA closer. The Norton Rixson 8501A is Grade 1 tri-mount with an adjustable 1-6 spring. The Accentra 3511 is ADA compliant, ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, non-handed, with adjustable spring sizes 1 through 6 and separate latch, sweep, and backcheck valves; a non-handed body means one shelf item covers left and right hand openings across the building.
17) The door is an aluminum storefront entrance. Is the Accentra 3511 the right closer, or is there a better fit?
For aluminum storefront specifically, the Norton Rixson 1600 Series aluminum storefront door closer is built for that application, Grade 1 heavy duty with tri-style mounting. The Norton Rixson 160 Series is a Grade 1 light commercial surface closer with an adjustable spring for lighter storefront-adjacent openings. The Accentra 3511 is a Grade 1 commercial closer with tri-packed regular, parallel, and top jamb mounting and a cast aluminum body; narrow aluminum stiles often drive the choice because of the top rail and stile dimensions available for the closer footprint, so confirm the rail before ordering either.
18) Which Design Hardware closer lines are comparable to the Accentra 3511 tri-pack?
The Design Hardware 316 Series is a medium to heavy duty tri-packed non-hold open arm closer supplied with a cover, which is the nearest arrangement to the Accentra 3511 in that line since the 3511 also ships with a metal cover. The 116 Series and the 416 Series are heavy duty tri-packed non-hold open arm closers. The arm function is the split: all three Design Hardware series carry a non-hold open arm, while the Accentra 3511 carries a tri-packed hold open arm. Choose on whether the opening is meant to stand open.
19) Does the Accentra 3511 door closer come with a cover?
Yes, a metal cover is included, so the closer body is concealed once installed. That is the difference between this and a less-cover closer such as the Arrow DCN325, which is the same tri-pack idea with adjustable spring size 1-6 but ships without a cover. If you are matching the look of existing closers down a corridor, the cover matters as much as the finish.
20) Is a cast aluminum door closer body strong enough for a heavy commercial entry?
The 3511 body is cast aluminum with a rack and pinion mechanism, rated past 25 million cycles at Grade 1. Cast aluminum is the standard commercial body material and it is not the limiting factor; spring size is. If your spec explicitly calls for cast iron, that is a different build, and the Sargent 281 Powerglide is a cast iron heavy duty surface closer.
21) What else could I buy instead of the Accentra 3511 tri-mount surface closer?
Staying with Grade 1 tri-mount surface closers, the Dexter DCH1000 Series is the closest match on configuration, a Grade 1 surface closer, tri mount regular, parallel or top jamb, with a full cover. Norton Rixson's 8501A is a Grade 1 tri-mount at medium duty with adjustable size 1-6 spring, the same spring range as the 3511. For heavier traffic, BEST EHD9000 is an extra heavy duty Grade 1 with adjustable spring sizes 1-6. All three swap in at the same mounting positions; what changes is duty rating and the arm package you specify.
22) I need a closer with delayed action for an accessible or healthcare door. Does the Accentra 3511 do that?
The 3511 gives you latch, sweep, and backcheck as separate valves, but delayed action is a distinct function and it is not part of this arm package. When a door has to stay open longer for a wheelchair or a cart, look at the Orca Hardware BHDC1958 delayed action closer, which comes as a regular arm with parallel bracket. Backcheck on the 3511 still protects the door and frame from being thrown open into a wall or an adjacent fixture.
23) What hardware comes with the Accentra 3511 closer and what do I need to supply?
Self-drilling and tapping screws are provided, and mounting templates come with the closer for regular, parallel, and top jamb positions. Prep is drill and screw into the door and frame per the template for the configuration you chose. Plan on a drill and the template; the arm and closer body are in the box along with the metal cover.
24) The 3511 is more closer than I need for a light interior office door. What is a lighter option?
For light duty service, the Arrow DC314 is a Grade 1 surface mounted closer at a light duty level, and the BEST SL6000 Series is a Grade 1 light duty surface closer with adjustable spring sizes. The LCN 1250 Series is a light duty surface closer in sizes 1-5 with all-weather fluid and ADA compliance. The Falcon SC91A is a light duty cast aluminum surface closer at Grade 3. The Accentra 3511 is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 rated to exceed 25 million cycles, which is aimed at heavier traffic than a private office sees.
25) Someone sent me the Arrow DCN500DP as a match for the Accentra 3511 closer - is that right?
No. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate for the DCN500, a mounting accessory rather than a closer. It carries no spring, no hydraulic body, and no arm. The Accentra 3511 is a complete surface mounted closer with a cast aluminum rack and pinion body, adjustable spring sizes 1 through 6, and a tri-packed hold open arm. Drop plates come into it only when the door top rail or frame face will not accept the closer footprint directly.
26) A vendor quoted Stanley Security 327 and 341 against my closer line - are those closers?
They are not. The Stanley Security 327 is a heavy wardrobe pivot for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors up to 150 pounds, and the Stanley 341 is a wardrobe pivot for flush recessed or overlay doors from 1-1/8 to 1-3/8 inch. Both are pivot hardware that carries and swings a door, with no hydraulic control at all. A closer such as the Accentra 3511 is what regulates the closing speed, latch, and backcheck. If the quote is for door control, the Stanley Security A45-501HL, a long hold open arm standard for top jamb mounting, is the item in that group that relates to hold open closer function.
27) What is the difference between the Accentra 3511 and a fixed-size closer like the Calibre CA8001P?
Spring sizing is the difference. The Calibre CA8001P is a Grade 1 parallel arm size 1 ADA surface mount closer - a fixed size 1 for a specific door width and weight. The Calibre CA5501 is a standard arm surface mount closer, also Grade 1. The Accentra 3511 has adjustable spring sizes 1 through 6, so the same body is dialed in on site to the door in front of you. On a job with mixed door widths, the adjustable closer is one line on the order; a fixed-size closer means sizing each opening before it ships.
28) The existing closers in my building are cast iron. Does the Accentra 3511 match, or should I stay with cast iron?
The Accentra 3511 has a cast aluminum body with a rack and pinion design, rated to exceed 25 million cycles. If the facility standard is cast iron, the Sargent 281 Powerglide is a Grade 1 heavy duty cast iron surface closer, and the LCN 1261 is a cast iron closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-5 at a light to medium duty level. Cast aluminum and cast iron are different body materials with different weight and appearance; on a matched-fleet replacement where the existing covers and drop plates stay, keeping to the original body family avoids a mixed look down a corridor.
29) For a medium-traffic commercial door, what sits alongside the Accentra 3511?
The Sargent 1131 is a Grade 1 adjustable surface closer built for medium-traffic commercial applications, and the Sargent 1331 is a Grade 1 medium duty closer with a universal aluminum body. The Falcon SC81A is a Grade 1 medium duty cast aluminum surface closer, and the Falcon SC61A is Grade 1 at a light to medium duty level. The BEST HD7000 is a Grade 1 medium duty closer with adjustable spring power and backcheck control. The Accentra 3511 is Grade 1 with a cast aluminum body and separate, independent latch, sweep, and backcheck intensity valves.
30) The Accentra 3511 comes in painted finishes. What if I need a plated or metallic finish closer?
The Accentra 3511 is offered in 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, all on a metal cover. Painted and equivalent finishes are matched by number, not by plating process, so a 690 painted cover will read as dark bronze next to plated 613 hardware without being the same coating. If the requirement is a powder coat rather than a paint, the LCN 1460T is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer supplied in a powder coat finish.
31) I am replacing a Corbin Russwin DC3200 on a 1-3/4 inch door. Will the Accentra 3511 cover that opening?
The Corbin Russwin DC3200 is a Grade 1 regular arm surface mounting closer for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Accentra 3511 is a surface mounted closer with a tri-pack that includes regular mounting, so it addresses the same regular arm position, and it is non-handed with adjustable spring sizes 1 through 6. The DC3200 is a regular arm closer; the Accentra 3511 tri-pack also carries the parallel and top jamb hardware, so if the retrofit moves to the push side you are not reordering. Verify the existing hole pattern before committing, since a new template may call for a drop plate.
32) What Corbin Russwin closer lines compare to the Accentra 3511 for a Grade 1 spec?
Three sit in the same Grade 1 surface class. The Corbin Russwin DC6200 Series is a Grade 1 surface closer with a double lever regular arm for pull side mounting, on 1-3/4 inch doors. The DC8200 Series is also a Grade 1 double lever regular arm closer, pull side mounting, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The DC3200 is a Grade 1 regular arm closer, surface mounting. All three are pull side or regular arm arrangements, where the Accentra 3511 ships tri-packed for regular, parallel, or top jamb and is non-handed, so it is not committed to a side until it goes on the door.
33) How does the Accentra 3511 compare with the Dormakaba 7303 and 7414 closers?
The DORMA 7303 Series is a Grade 1 surface-mounted standard duty closer at a medium duty level, offered in a painted finish. The Dormakaba 7414 is a Grade 1 medium duty closer in size 1-4. Against those, the Accentra 3511 is Grade 1 with adjustable spring sizes 1 through 6, so it reaches heavier doors than a size 1-4 body, and it carries a tri-packed hold open arm. If the openings run to wider or heavier leaves, the wider spring range is the deciding spec. The Dormakaba 8616 with flat arm is a Grade 1 heavy duty tri-pack option in the same brand.
