FAQs
Why choose the PDQ 5300 over the full-cover 5500 closer?
The 5300 uses a "streamline" slim-profile plastic cover instead of the 5500's full cover, giving it a lower, less bulky appearance that's preferred on interior doors or anywhere a large closer body looks out of place. Both share the same Grade 1 rating, cast aluminum body, and BF-6 spring range, the difference is purely cover profile and use case.
Does the PDQ 5300 door closer come with an antimicrobial option?
Yes, PDQ offers an antimicrobial coating option on the 5300, which is why this model is frequently specified for healthcare facilities, schools, and other high-touch environments. This is a feature specific to the 5300 among PDQ's standard-duty closer offerings.
Is the PDQ 5300 closer cover handed?
No, the 5300's streamline cover is non-handed, meaning the same closer body can be installed on left- or right-hand doors without ordering handing-specific parts. This simplifies stocking and installation for distributors and contractors managing mixed door openings.
Will the PDQ 5300 fit existing Norton or Yale closer mounting holes?
Yes, like the 5500, the 5300 is compatible with the Norton 8300/8500 and Yale 3300/3500 mounting hole pattern, allowing it to serve as a direct retrofit replacement for those slim-cover closer lines. This is a common purchasing driver for facility managers replacing aging closers without re-drilling doors.
What is the PDQ 5300's spring size range and duty rating?
The 5300 is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 with an adjustable spring range from BF through size 6, using hydraulic-controlled closing with a separate standard backcheck. It's classified standard duty, positioned for interior commercial doors and moderate-to-regular traffic openings rather than the highest-abuse entrances.
Is the PDQ 5300 rated for fire doors?
Yes, the 5300 is UL listed for labeled swinging fire doors rated up to and including 3 hours and is ADA and ICC/ANSI 117.1 compliant. It's available in six finishes and backed by a 25-year limited warranty.
