Corbin Russwin DC6210 Grade 1 Adjustable Parallel Arm Door Closer

The Corbin Russwin DC6210 is a commercial Grade 1 surface door closer designed for parallel-arm installation on high-use openings and doors that must meet applicable accessibility requirements. Its adjustable spring power covers sizes 1 through 6, allowing one closer to accommodate a wide range of interior and exterior door applications.

With parallel-arm mounting, the closer body installs on the push side of the door while the arm rests nearly parallel with the door when closed. This provides a cleaner appearance and places the closer on the interior side of an outward-swinging door.

The DC6210 features a durable cast-iron body, forged-steel arm, captured valves and independently adjustable closing speed, latching speed and backcheck. Corbin Russwin rates the DC6000 Series for more than 25 million cycles and covers it with a 30-year limited warranty.

What Does DC6210 Mean?

The DC6210 is the parallel-arm configuration of the multi-sized DC6200 closer.

The DC6210 should be selected when the closer will be installed on the push side of the door for a parallel-arm application.

Adjustable Hydraulic Controls

Closing Speed

Controls the main closing movement of the door.

Latching Speed

Controls the final portion of the closing cycle to help the door close and latch securely.

Backcheck Intensity

Provides hydraulic resistance as the door approaches the fully open position, helping control forceful opening.

Backcheck is not a mechanical door stop and should not be used as a substitute for an appropriate wall, floor or overhead stop.

Multiple Backcheck Location

The closer permits selection of the backcheck location at approximately 70 or 90 degrees.

Delayed Action

Delayed action is optional and must be ordered with the M71 option. It is not included on a standard DC6210.

Construction

Certifications and Compliance

• ANSI/BHMA A156.4, Grade 1
• ANSI/BHMA A117.1
• ADA-compliant when properly installed and adjusted for the applicable opening
• UL and cUL Listed
• UL 10C positive-pressure rated for fire-door openings up to three hours

Accessibility Notice

The DC6210 can be adjusted to meet the 5-pound maximum opening-force requirement for applicable non-fire-rated interior hinged doors. Actual compliance depends on correct installation, adjustment and opening conditions.

A closer adjusted for low opening force may not provide enough power to close and latch every door reliably. Door size, weight, gasketing, air pressure, wind and other site conditions must be considered.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the DC6200 and DC6210?

Both models use the same adjustable size 1–6 closer body. The DC6200 is packaged for regular-arm or top-jamb mounting, while the DC6210 is packaged for parallel-arm mounting.

Where is the DC6210 installed?

The DC6210 is installed on the push side of the door. The closer body mounts to the door, and the parallel-arm bracket attaches to the frame.

Is the DC6210 handed?

The standard closer is non-handed. Certain optional arms and accessories may require handing to be specified.

Is the DC6210 adjustable?

Yes. Its spring power is adjustable from size 1 through 6. Closing speed, latching speed and backcheck intensity are also adjustable.

Does the DC6210 include hold open?

The standard DC6210 is a non-hold-open closer. Hold-open and specialized heavy-duty arms are optional and must be specified when ordering.

Can the DC6210 be used on a fire-rated door?

The DC6000 Series is UL/cUL Listed and UL 10C positive-pressure rated for fire-door openings up to three hours. The complete opening and installation must satisfy the requirements of the applicable fire-door assembly.

Mechanical hold-open arms must not be used on fire-rated openings where prohibited by code.

Is the DC6210 ADA compliant?

Corbin Russwin identifies the DC6210 as capable of meeting ADA and ANSI/BHMA A117.1 opening-force requirements when properly installed and adjusted for an applicable opening.

Accessibility compliance depends on the complete opening, installation and final adjustment—not solely on the closer model.

Does the DC6210 have backcheck?

Yes. Adjustable backcheck intensity and multiple backcheck-location settings are standard. Backcheck controls door movement but does not replace a mechanical door stop.

Does it have delayed action?

Delayed action is available as the optional M71 feature. It is not included unless specified in the ordered part number.

How far can the door open?

The DC6210 allows opening up to 180 degrees when surrounding conditions, mounting location and hardware permit.

What cover comes standard?

A V-0 flame-rated plastic cover is standard. A full metal cover is optional and is required when ordering plated architectural finishes.

What warranty does Corbin Russwin provide?

The DC6000 Series carries a 30-year limited manufacturer warranty. Corbin Russwin’s current warranty terms and limitations apply.
