Accentra YAL-YDC201 689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Accentra YDC200 door closer work on an aluminum storefront door?
That's the application the YDC200 Series was built around. It's a surface mounted, rack and pinion closer aimed at aluminum storefront and high volume commercial openings, and it ships tri-packed so the same box mounts regular arm on the pull side, top jamb, or parallel arm on the push side. Storefront doors usually take the parallel arm mount off the door face with the shoe on the frame header, so no separate mounting kit has to be ordered to get there.
2) Do I have to order a left hand or right hand door closer for the YDC200?
No handing to specify. The YDC200 is non-handed, so one closer covers both swings and a property manager stocking spares only has to keep one part on the shelf for a run of doors. Handing gets set by which of the three mounting positions you use, not by the closer itself.
3) What is the difference between the YDC201 and the YDC204 closer?
Spring power is the split. The YDC201 is adjustable across spring sizes 1 through 4, so one closer covers everything from a narrow interior door up to a wider exterior one and you set the power on site. The YDC204 is fixed at spring size 4 with backcheck. If you are doing a mixed building and want a single SKU that adapts door by door, take the multi-sized version; if every opening is a known heavy exterior door, the fixed size 4 removes a field adjustment step.
4) Is the YDC200 door closer Grade 1 and UL listed?
The YDC200 Series is built to meet ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 and carries a UL/cUL listing. For a facility spec that calls for Grade 1 door controls, that's the box ticked at the economy end of the range rather than having to move up to a heavy duty series.
5) I need a hold open arm - what are my options besides the Accentra YDC200?
The Accentra YDC200 Series is offered in both hold open and non-hold-open configurations across the multi-sized 1-4 and size 4 with backcheck builds. Among other brands, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958HO/PA is a hold open closer with a parallel bracket and a tri-packed hold open arm for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Stanley Security A45-501HL is a long hold open arm standard for top jamb mounting. Watch the arm type when cross-shopping: the Orca BHDC1958RA/PA and BHDC1958DA/PA are both tri-packed non-hold open arms, as are the Design Hardware 116, 316, and 416 Series.
6) Which surface closer should I specify for a high-traffic entrance instead of an economy closer?
The Accentra YDC200 Series is an economy cast aluminum closer built to ANSI/BHMA Grade 1. Where a heavier duty rating is called for, the Sargent 1431 Powerglide is a Grade 1 heavy duty surface closer with adjustable spring power, the Falcon SC71A is a Grade 1 heavy duty surface-mount closer in the SC70A Series, and the BEST HD8000 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty surface closer. For a cast iron body, the Sargent 281 Powerglide is a Grade 1 heavy duty cast iron surface closer. On an aluminum storefront specifically, the Norton Rixson 1600 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty aluminum storefront closer with tri-style mounting, which keeps the same three mounting positions the YDC200 offers.
7) What is the closest Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer to the Accentra YDC201 with adjustable spring size 1-4?
The Arrow DCN314 is the nearest match on the adjustment range: it is a Grade 1 surface door closer with a regular/parallel arm tri-pack and adjustable spring size 1 to 4, the same range the Accentra YDC201 covers, and Arrow lists it as light duty. The Dormakaba 7414 also covers size 1-4 and is a Grade 1 medium duty closer in the 7400 Series. The Accentra YDC200 is non-handed with tri-packed regular, top jamb, or parallel mounting, so either substitution keeps the same three mounting choices on an aluminum storefront opening. Note the Arrow DCN314 ships less cover.
8) The opening needs a spring size above 4 - what closer covers it instead of the YDC201?
The Accentra YDC200 Series tops out at spring size 4, adjustable 1-4 on the YDC201 and fixed at 4 on the YDC204. For a wider or heavier leaf, the Arrow DCN325 is a Grade 1 surface closer with the same regular/parallel tri-pack arm but adjustable spring size 1 to 6. The Norton Rixson 8501A is a Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer with adjustable size 1-6 spring, medium duty. The Dorma 8916-JT covers adjustable size 1-6 as a Grade 1 heavy duty jamb track closer, and the BEST EHD9000 Series is an extra heavy-duty Grade 1 closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-6.
9) Which Grade 1 closers can I standardize on across a facility alongside or instead of the Accentra YDC200?
The Accentra YDC200 Series is a commercial closer meeting ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 with UL/cUL listing. For a single-brand standard across a mixed set of openings, Corbin Russwin runs Grade 1 surface closers for 1-3/4 inch doors from the DC3200 regular arm through the DC6200 and DC8200 double lever regular arm, pull side mounted. Sargent covers Grade 1 medium duty with the 1131 and 1331 and Grade 1 heavy duty with the 1431. BEST spans Grade 1 light duty in the SL6000, medium in the HD7000, and heavy in the HD8000 and EHD9000 Series, which lets one brand cover light through extra heavy-duty openings.
10) Can I adjust the closing speed and latch speed on the YDC200 after it is installed?
Three independent valves: latch speed, sweep speed, and backcheck intensity, each adjusted separately. That means you can slow the sweep across the main travel for an ADA-style opening while still keeping enough latch speed in the last few degrees to throw the latchbolt, and you can dial back the backcheck so a door caught by wind doesn't slam into the adjacent wall. On the YDC201 the spring power itself is also field adjustable across sizes 1 to 4.
11) What else could I use instead of the Accentra YDC200 economy closer?
Closest matches on configuration are the Arrow DCN314, a Grade 1 surface closer with regular/parallel tri-pack arm and adjustable spring size 1-4, and the Dexter DCH4000 Series, a Grade 1 tri mount closer that mounts regular, parallel, or top jamb. The Falcon SC91A is light duty cast aluminum but Grade 3, so it is a step down on the spec if your job calls for Grade 1. If you want the same tri mount pattern with more spring range, the Arrow DCN325 runs sizes 1 through 6.
12) I need a closer with delayed action for an accessible entrance, does the YDC200 have it?
Delayed action isn't among the YDC200's valve set, which covers latch, sweep, and backcheck intensity. If you need the door to hold near full open for several seconds before it begins to close, which is what helps a wheelchair user or a cart clear the opening, look at the Orca Hardware BHDC1958 Series delayed action closer, supplied with a regular arm and parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors, or the BHDC2011 Series delayed action version. The YDC200 remains the choice where standard sweep and latch control is all the opening needs.
13) Is there a lighter-duty alternative to the Accentra YDC200 for a low-traffic interior door?
Yes. The Falcon SC91A is a light duty cast aluminum surface-mount closer carrying a Grade 3 rating, so it steps below the Grade 1 the Accentra YDC200 Series meets. The Cal-Royal 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic door closer. If the Grade 1 rating still has to hold on a light-duty opening, the BEST SL6000 Series is a Grade 1 light duty surface closer with adjustable spring sizes, and the Norton Rixson 160 Series is a Grade 1 light commercial surface closer with an adjustable spring.
14) Which alternatives to the YDC200 keep the same regular, top jamb, and parallel mounting flexibility?
The Accentra YDC200 Series is tri-packed for regular, top jamb, or parallel mounting and is non-handed. Peers built the same way include the Dexter DCH1000 Series, a Grade 1 surface closer tri-mounted for regular, parallel, or top jamb with a full cover, and the Dexter DCM1000 and DCL2000 Series, both Grade 1 tri-mount surface closers. The Norton Rixson 1601P is a Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer with 180 degree swing, and the Dormakaba 8616 with flat arm is a Grade 1 tri-pack. The Arrow DCN314 and DCN325 are tri-packs covering regular and parallel arm only.
15) What should I use instead of the YDC200 when the door cannot take a projecting arm?
The Accentra YDC200 Series uses a threaded adjustable arm in a tri-packed regular, top jamb, or parallel arrangement. Where a track is called for instead, the Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a slide track arm standard, pull side mounting, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 jamb track closer with frame face mounting on the pull side. For a low-profile arm rather than a track, the Dormakaba 8616 uses a flat arm and the Dorma 8916-JT a flat non-hold open arm.
16) The YDC204 has backcheck - which other closers list backcheck control?
The Accentra YDC200 Series has independent latch, sweep, and backcheck intensity valves, and the size 4 build is ordered specifically as a size 4 closer with backcheck. Peers that publish backcheck control include the BEST HD7000 Series, a Grade 1 medium duty surface closer with adjustable spring power and backcheck control, and the Cal-Royal 500S, a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check. The Norton Rixson 1600BC Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty aluminum storefront closer with tri-style mounting.
17) Which closers should I look at if the job calls for an ADA barrier free opening force?
Peers written specifically for barrier free and ADA openings include the Cal-Royal 500S, a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check, and the Cal-Royal N900PBF in the 900 Door Closer Series, a barrier free Grade 1 hydraulic surface closer. The Calibre CA4001 is a Grade 1 adjustable spring tension ADA hydraulic closer, and the Calibre CA9901 is a Grade 1 tri-pack arm ADA closer with size 2-5 adjustment. The LCN 1250 Series is a light duty ADA compliant closer with sizes 1-5 and all-weather fluid. The Accentra YDC200 Series adjusts spring size 1-4 on the YDC201, which is the range you would set down for a low opening force.
18) What looks like an alternative to the Accentra YDC200 but is not a surface door closer at all?
Several items in the same door control family are not closers. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate for the DCN500, a mounting accessory rather than a closer body. The Stanley Security 327 is a heavy wardrobe pivot for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors up to 150 lbs, and the Stanley 341 is a wardrobe pivot for flush recessed or overlay doors 1-1/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch - both are pivots, not door controls. The Stanley 57-0100 is a box of 100 steel machine screws for architectural hinges. The Accentra YDC200 Series is the complete surface mounted closer with cast aluminium body, rack and pinion, and threaded adjustable arm.
19) I want a full cover on the closer - which peers include one?
The Accentra YDC200 Series is available in 689 aluminum painted and 690 dark bronze painted. If a full metal cover is part of the specification, 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 supplied with cover. By contrast the Arrow DCN314 and DCN325 are both less cover, so a cover has to be handled separately on those.
20) Is there a cast iron closer to use where the YDC200 cast aluminum body is not accepted?
Yes. The Accentra YDC200 Series uses a cast aluminium body. Where a cast iron body is specified, the LCN 1261 is a surface-mounted closer with cast iron construction and adjustable spring sizes 1-5, listed light to medium duty, and the Sargent 281 Powerglide is a Grade 1 heavy duty cast iron surface closer. Other cast aluminum peers, if aluminum is acceptable, include the Falcon SC81A medium duty and SC61A light to medium duty, both Grade 1, the LCN 1450 with spring sizes 1-6, and the Sargent 1331 with a universal aluminum body.
21) Does the YDC200 door closer come with a cover?
The YDC200 is described with a cast aluminum body and threaded adjustable arm in two painted finishes, and it is that painted body you see on the door. If you specifically want the closer body concealed behind a full metal cover for appearance, the Dexter DCH1000 Series is a Grade 1 tri mount closer supplied with a full cover. At the other end, the Arrow DCN314 is a less cover version if the closer is going somewhere it will never be looked at.
