PDQ 5301 BC PA: High-Performance Architectural Door Closer
The PDQ 5301 BC PA Door Closer is a heavy-duty, fully featured door control designed for high-traffic institutional and commercial environments. Built with a 1-1/4” diameter hardened steel piston, this closer provides superior strength and smooth hydraulic operation that outlasts standard aluminum closers. Whether you are managing a school, hospital, or busy office building, the 5300 Series offers a compact, modern appearance without sacrificing ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 durability.
The Ultimate Retrofit Solution
Upgrading your facility's hardware has never been easier. The PDQ 5301 features the common 12” x 3/4” mounting hole pattern, making it a seamless retrofit for Norton 8300/8500 and Yale 3300/3500 series closers.
Designed for maximum versatility, this unit is Tri-Packed, allowing for Regular Arm, Top Jamb (up to a 4" reveal), or Parallel Arm installations. Each closer includes self-drilling, self-tapping screws and thru bolts, ensuring a secure fit on wood, hollow metal, and aluminum doors.

Precision Control and Safety Features
The PDQ 5301 Series is engineered for total opening control. It features separate hydraulic valves for sweep and latch speeds, as well as an adjustable hydraulic backcheck (BC). The backcheck serves as a shock absorber, preventing the door from being thrown open by wind or heavy use, which protects your hinges and wall structures from damage.

- Streamline Design: Comes standard with a non-handed streamline plastic cover. A full-sized cover (5500 Series) is also available for a more traditional architectural look.
- Global Quality: Proudly TAA Compliant and manufactured in Korea to the highest engineering standards.
