Accentra YAL-51 689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can one Accentra 51 Series closer be used on both left and right hand doors?
Yes. The 51 Series closer is non-handed, so the same unit goes on a left or right hand opening without swapping parts. That's what makes it a practical stock item for a property manager or MRO crew standardizing across a building: one part number covers every swing in the facility, and the tri-pack of arms covers whichever side of the door you end up mounting on.
2) What does tri-packed mean on the Accentra 51 door closer, and do I need to order a separate bracket?
Tri-packed means the box ships with the hardware for all three surface mounting positions: regular arm (pull side of the door), top jamb (push side, on the frame face), and parallel arm (push side, on the door with a bracket on the soffit). You pick the mounting at install instead of at order time. The 51 covers regular, parallel, or top jamb mounting to a 3 inch reveal, so no extra mounting kit is needed within that range.
3) My frame has a deep reveal. Will the Accentra 51 top jamb mount still work?
Up to 3 inches of reveal, yes. The 51 Series is set up for regular, parallel, or top jamb mounting to a 3 inch reveal. Measure from the face of the door to the stop face of the frame before you order. Past 3 inches you are outside what this closer's standard arm covers, and a parallel arm mount on the push side is usually the way to handle it since the bracket sits on the soffit rather than reaching across the reveal.
4) How much clearance do I need for an Accentra 51 closer on the door face?
Allow 2-7/8 inches of projection off the mounting surface. That is the number that matters on a narrow corridor, a door that swings into a stair landing, or an opening with a wall return close to the hinge side. If a wall, guard rail, or adjacent door leaf sits closer than that to the closer body, you have a conflict before the arm ever moves.
5) Does the Accentra 51 door closer hold the door open?
No. The 51 Series in this configuration is a non-hold open arm, so the door closes every time it's released. That's the correct choice on a fire rated opening or any door that has to stay latched for smoke and security. If you need a door that parks open, you need a hold open arm closer instead; the Orca Hardware BHDC1958 Series is offered with a tri-packed hold open arm.
6) How do I set the closing speed on the Accentra 51 so the door latches but doesn't slam?
The 51 has three separate, independent valves: sweep, latch, and backcheck. Sweep controls the door through the main part of its travel, latch controls the last few inches into the frame, and backcheck cushions the door if someone throws it open into a wall. Because they're independent, you can slow the sweep for a heavy entry door and still leave enough latch speed to throw the bolt. The valves are staked, so they won't back all the way out and dump fluid.
7) What size spring do I need for an exterior entrance door, and is the Accentra 51 adjustable?
Adjustable, sizes 1 through 6 on the same unit. Size 1 is the lightest setting for a narrow interior door, and 6 is for a wide or exterior opening fighting wind and stack pressure. Because the spring is field adjustable across the full range, you can stock one closer for a whole building and dial each opening in at install rather than ordering a fixed size per door and finding out on site that it was wrong.
8) What is a heavier duty alternative to the Accentra 51 Series for a high abuse entrance?
The Accentra 51 Series is a cast aluminum closer with a 1-3/8 inch piston and 5/8 inch pinion journals. For openings specified extra heavy duty, the BEST EHD9000 Series is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty surface closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-6, so it holds the same size range. The Sargent 281 Powerglide is a Grade 1 heavy duty surface closer with a cast iron body, and the LCN 1460T is a Grade 1 heavy duty surface closer in a powder coat finish.
9) I need a delayed action closer instead of a standard non-hold open one - what is comparable to the Accentra 51 Series?
The Accentra 51 Series has independent latch, sweep and backcheck intensity valves but is a straight non-hold open arm closer. Where an accessible opening calls for delayed action, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958DA is a delayed action closer with a regular arm and parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Orca Hardware BHDC2011DA is a delayed action closer in the same regular arm with parallel bracket configuration, also for 1-3/4 inch doors.
10) I need a closer with a cover - the Accentra 51 Series comes without one. What are my options?
The Accentra 51 Series is furnished without a cover in all seven of its finishes. If the opening needs the body concealed, the Dexter DCH1000 Series is a Grade 1 tri mount surface closer supplied with a full cover, and the Design Hardware 316 Series is a medium to heavy duty closer with a cover that uses the same tri-packed non-hold open arm function as the 51 Series.
11) Does the Arrow DCN314 substitute for the Accentra 51 Series?
Not on spring range. The Accentra 51 Series is adjustable 1-6. The Arrow DCN314 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a regular/parallel arm tri-pack but an adjustable spring size of 1 - 4, so it does not reach the upper sizes. Within the same Arrow line, the DCN325 carries adjustable spring size 1 - 6 and matches the range.
12) The Accentra 51 Series mounts to a 3 inch reveal - what should I use if the frame reveal is deeper or the arm has to run in a track?
The Accentra 51 Series mounts regular, parallel, or top jamb to a 3 inch reveal. Where the arm needs to run in a track instead, the Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a slide track arm as standard, pull side mounting, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Dormakaba 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty jamb track closer for frame face mounting on the pull side, adjustable size 1-6.
13) Which alternatives to the Accentra 51 Series also cover the full size 1-6 spring range?
The Accentra 51 Series is adjustable 1-6. Other closers carrying that same range are the BEST EHD9000 Series extra heavy duty, the Norton Rixson 8501A Grade 1 tri-mount, the Arrow DCN325 Grade 1 tri-pack, the Imperial USA TC4300 Series Grade 1 heavy duty ADA closer sized 1-6, the LCN 1450 medium duty in spring sizes 1-6, and the Dormakaba 8916-JT jamb track closer. Sizing above the 1-4 range matters on wide or exterior doors where a 1-4 closer runs out of power.
14) Does the Accentra 51 closer come with a cover?
No cover. Every configuration is supplied less cover, with the cast aluminum body exposed. On back of house, industrial, and warehouse doors that's normal and often preferred, since the adjustment valves stay accessible for a maintenance tech. If the closer is going on a lobby or tenant facing door where the exposed body is a problem, the Dexter DCH1000 Series is a Grade 1 tri mount surface closer supplied with a full cover.
15) Is the Accentra 51 closer heavy duty enough for a high traffic door?
It's built for it. The 51 exceeds 12 million cycles, runs a rack and pinion mechanism in a cast aluminum body, and uses a 1-3/8 inch diameter piston on 5/8 inch diameter pinion journals. The larger piston and journal diameters are what carry the load on a door that gets cycled hundreds of times a day, which is why this one is catalogued for industrial and warehouse work rather than light interior openings.
16) What other tri-pack door closers with an adjustable 1-6 spring could I use instead of the Accentra 51?
Closest matches on mounting flexibility and spring range: the Arrow DCN325 is a Grade 1 surface closer, less cover, regular/parallel arm tri-pack, adjustable size 1 to 6. The Norton Rixson 8501A is a Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer with an adjustable size 1-6 spring. The Dexter DCH4000 and DCL2000 are Grade 1 tri mount closers covering regular, parallel, or top jamb. The Design Hardware 116 and 416 Series are heavy duty closers with the same tri-packed non-hold open arm function. If you only need spring sizes 1 through 4, the Arrow DCN314 covers that narrower range.
17) Is there a lighter duty alternative to the Accentra 51 Series for a low traffic interior door?
The Accentra 51 Series is an industrial closer built to exceed 12 million cycles with a cast aluminum body. For a low traffic interior opening, the BEST SL6000 Series is a Grade 1 light duty surface mounted closer with adjustable spring sizes, the Norton Rixson 160 Series is a Grade 1 light duty light commercial surface closer with an adjustable spring, and the LCN 1250 Series is a light duty surface mounted closer in sizes 1-5 with all-weather fluid. The Falcon SC91A is a light duty cast aluminum surface closer at Grade 3.
18) Which other tri-packed non-hold open closers match the Accentra 51 Series arm configuration?
The Accentra 51 Series function is a tri-packed non-hold open arm. The Design Hardware 116 Series and 416 Series are both heavy duty closers with the same tri-packed non-hold open arm function, and the Design Hardware 316 Series carries that function at medium to heavy duty. The Orca Hardware BHDC1958RA is a tri-packed non-hold open closer with a regular arm and parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Dormakaba 8616 AF86P uses a flat arm non-hold open tri-pack at Grade 1 heavy duty.
19) What Grade 1 closers can I standardize a facility on alongside the Accentra 51 Series?
The Accentra 51 Series is a commercial surface mounted closer adjustable 1-6. Peers carrying a Grade 1 rating in the surface mounted closer class include the BEST HD8000 Series heavy duty, the BEST HD7000 Series medium duty, the Sargent 1431 Powerglide heavy duty, the Sargent 1131 medium duty, the Falcon SC71A heavy duty, the Falcon SC81A medium duty, and the Corbin Russwin DC8200 Series for 1-3/4 inch doors. Sizing across a facility varies by door width and traffic, so grade alone is the standardization line, not the size.
20) Is the Arrow DCN500DP drop plate a substitute for the Accentra 51 Series closer?
No. The Accentra 51 Series is a complete surface mounted closer with a cast aluminum body, tri-packed arm, and hydraulic valves. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate for the DCN500, a mounting bracket rather than a closer. Similarly, the Stanley Security 327 and 341 are wardrobe pivots, and the Stanley Security 57-0100 is a box of steel machine screws for architectural hinges. None of those control door closing.
21) How does the Cal-Royal 400 Series compare with the Accentra 51 Series for a commercial opening?
The Accentra 51 Series is a commercial industrial closer adjustable 1-6. The Cal-Royal 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic door closer, a different certification tier. Within Cal-Royal, the 500S is a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check and the 700S is a Grade 1 dual valve sized closer with an adjustable tube arm, if the specification calls for Grade 1.
22) What is a comparable closer to the Accentra 51 Series for an aluminum storefront door?
The Accentra 51 Series is a tri-packed surface closer for commercial openings. For an aluminum storefront leaf, the Norton Rixson 1600 Series aluminum storefront door closer uses tri-style mounting and is Grade 1 heavy duty. The Norton Rixson 1601P is a Grade 1 medium duty tri-mount surface closer with a 180 degree swing, matching the 51 Series, which allows 180 degree swing in all standard arm applications, conditions permitting.
23) What finishes does the Accentra 51 industrial door closer come in?
Seven finishes: 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. Six are painted finishes, so for a fleet of doors already running painted aluminum or dark bronze hardware, 689 and 690 are the two that match most commercial standards.
24) Is the Accentra 51 door closer suitable for a residential apartment unit door?
It's a commercial closer, catalogued for commercial rather than residential use, and sized for industrial duty. On multi-tenant residential property it belongs on the common area doors, stair doors, corridor cross doors, and service entries, which is exactly where a 12 million cycle rating pays for itself. For a light residential or light commercial opening, a lighter unit like the Deltana DC10 or the Falcon SC91A is the closer fit.
25) Are the Deltana DC10, DC40, DC50 and DC70 closers direct substitutes for the Accentra 51 Series?
They are separate closer series rather than a matched replacement. The Accentra 51 Series is a commercial industrial closer with tri-packed mounting and adjustable 1-6 sizing. The Deltana line runs as the DC10, DC40, DC50 and DC70 series, each its own closer model. Where a job requires the tri-pack arm package and 1-6 adjustment, the Norton Rixson 8501A and Arrow DCN325 line up on those points instead.
