Adjustable Size 1–4

The 1101BF features adjustable spring power covering:

Size 1 through Size 4

This allows the installer to adjust closing force according to the door size, weight, and operating conditions.

Lower spring settings can be used for applicable barrier-free interior openings, while higher settings provide additional closing force where required.

Always adjust the closer according to the door manufacturer's requirements, applicable building codes, and opening conditions.

Non-Hold-Open Function

The 1101BF is a non-hold-open closer.

The closer automatically returns the door toward the closed position after it is opened and does not mechanically hold the door open.

This makes the 1101BF appropriate for many applications where the door must automatically return to the closed and latched position.

For a hold-open version of the 1100 Series, see the compatible 1111BF configuration.

Tri-Packed Mounting

The ACCENTRA 1101BF is supplied for multiple common surface-mounted installation methods.

Regular Arm

Installed on the pull side of the door with the closer body mounted to the door.

Parallel Arm

Installed on the push side with the arm positioned generally parallel with the closed door.

Top Jamb

Installed on the push side with the closer body mounted to the frame.

The tri-packed configuration reduces the need to stock separate closers for each mounting style.

Non-Handed

The 1101BF is:

Non-Handed

It can be installed on compatible:

• Left-hand doors

• Right-hand doors

• Left-hand reverse doors

• Right-hand reverse doors

according to the required mounting configuration.

Adjustable Closing Speed

A field-adjustable valve controls the primary closing speed of the door.

This allows the installer to regulate how quickly the door travels through the main portion of the closing cycle.

Adjustable Latch Speed

A separate latch-speed adjustment controls the final portion of the closing cycle.

Proper adjustment helps provide enough closing force for the door to:

• Reach the frame

• Engage the latch

• Fully close the opening

without excessive slamming.

Adjustable Backcheck

The 1101BF includes an adjustable:

Backcheck Valve

Backcheck provides increased resistance as the door approaches the fully open position.

This helps reduce the force of an aggressively opened door and can help protect:

• Door

• Frame

• Closer

• Hinges

• Adjacent walls

Important

Backcheck is not a substitute for a mechanical door stop.

An auxiliary door stop is required where needed to prevent excessive door travel.

Full Rack-and-Pinion Design

The 1101BF uses a conventional:

Full Rack-and-Pinion Mechanism

This proven commercial closer design provides smooth, controlled operation and dependable closing performance.
