Comparing DynastyHardware Models
DynastyHardware offers a range of series to match specific needs. The Series 1614 and 4401/8500 are standout Grade 1 adjustable models: 1614 covers spring sizes 1-4 for medium-duty use, while 4401 and 8500 extend to 1-6 for heavier doors, offering more power and flexibility. For fixed-spring reliability, Series 4000 (size 4) handles high-traffic exteriors, Series 3000 (size 3) suits moderate interiors, and Series 2000 (size 2) provides lighter closing—available in both aluminum and Duronotic bronze finishes.
Choose adjustable models like 4401 or 8500 if door weights vary or future changes are likely; opt for fixed sizes in Series 2000-4000 for consistent, budget-friendly performance. All deliver self-closing action with hydraulic dampening to prevent slamming. For alternatives from other trusted brands, see our Lawrence Door Closers page.
