The CRL DC53 Size 3 Surface Mount Door Closer (SKU DC53A) delivers reliable, high-performance door control for commercial and residential projects. The Size 3 spring is ideal for interior doors up to 42" (1.07 m) and exterior doors up to 36" (914 mm) wide, with applicable door weights between 99 and 143 lbs (45–65 kg). An adjustable backcheck protects doors and hardware from wind or violent swings. Independent adjustments for closing and latching speeds ensure smooth, controlled operation—making this an excellent choice as a surface mount door closer for 42-inch doors and other common commercial door sizes. All CRL surface mounted closers are U.L. listed and come with a ten-year warranty.

Each closer ships with a parallel-arm bracket and mounting hardware for universal installation (regular, top-jamb, or parallel arm). Optional accessories—such as Drop Plates and Hold Open Arms—are available for specialized installations.
