FAQs
When do I need an extra-heavy-duty door closer instead of a standard heavy-duty model?
Choose the PDQ 7100 for high-traffic exterior entrances, oversized or heavy doors, and abuse-prone locations like stadiums, schools, and detention-adjacent facilities where a standard heavy-duty closer would wear out faster. Its cast iron body, forged steel main arm, and 1-1/2" piston are built for repeated high-force cycling that lighter-body closers aren't rated for.
What ANSI grade and construction does the PDQ 7100 door closer have?
The PDQ 7100 is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1, the highest commercial closer rating, with a high-strength cast iron body and forged steel arm rather than the aluminum alloy body used in PDQ's 5100 and 5500 lines. This construction is why it's specified for the most demanding, highest-cycle openings.
What spring sizes does the PDQ 7100 closer support?
The 7100 has a hydraulic spring adjustment range of BF through size 6, letting one installer-adjustable body cover everything from lightweight interior doors up to the heaviest exterior openings. Backcheck positioning is standard and starts snubbing the door sooner than typical closers, reducing wall and door damage on wide-swing openings.
What arm options are available for the PDQ 7100, and which is best for high-abuse doors?
PDQ offers the 7100 with parallel arm, hold-open, heavy-duty stop, spring cushion stop, track arm, and Extra Duty Parallel Arm (EDA) configurations. The Extra Duty Parallel Arm is the recommended choice for high-abuse or vandalism-prone doors, since it's reinforced beyond the standard parallel arm used on PDQ's lighter-duty closers.
Is the PDQ 7100 door closer fire rated and ADA compliant?
Yes, the 7100 is UL listed for use on labeled swinging fire doors rated up to and including 3 hours, and it meets ADA and ICC/ANSI 117.1 accessibility requirements. This makes it suitable for rated exterior egress doors that also see heavy daily traffic.
What finish options does the PDQ 7100 come in?
The 7100 is available in six finishes: 605 polished brass, 625 polished chrome, 689 aluminum, 693 black, 695 duro bronze, and 696 gold. It ships with a full plastic cover standard, with an optional metal cover for harsher or higher-abuse environments, and carries a 25-year limited warranty.
