Identifying Surface Closers

8616

The closer model number is dot-matrix etched on the end of the cylinder, as is the date stamp

(see image at right). If the model number is hard to read, measure the horizontal and vertical distances between the centers of the mounting screw holes. Compare your dimensions with those shown below to determine a replacement closer now available. The closer body drawings with valves can help confirm identification. Not all discounted closers are represented in this document. Note: "669G" is a UL listing number that appears on all surface closers. It does not identify a model. Contact dormakaba Technical Service Department at 800-523-8483 for assistance.

9 07

Model number is 8616. Date stamp, 9 07, indicates closer was manufactured September, 2007. For models produced after February 2011, date stamp will indicate week and year (4313 = 43 week of

2013).
