    LCN 1461-CYL-RWPA-695 – Frequently Asked Questions

    1) Which side of the door does the LCN 1461 closer mount on, and which arm goes with each mounting?
    Three mountings are covered, and the arm is what commits you to one. Hinge mounting puts the body on the pull side of the door, top jamb puts it on the frame face on the push side, and parallel arm hangs it on the door under the frame soffit, also push side. Regular and long arms (REGARM, LONG) are the pull side hinge and top jamb choices; parallel arm mounting needs an arm ordered with the bracket, so RWPA, HDPA or HWPA, or one of the Cush-n-Stop arms. The body lands on a 1" x 7-1/2" hole pattern whichever way you mount it, so give that pattern to whoever is drilling the door or frame.
    2) What size door will an LCN 1461 close, and do I have to pick a spring size when I order?
    One unit covers the range. The 1461 uses a field adjustable spring, sizes 1 through 6, so closing force gets set at the opening rather than specified on the order. Size 1 is the light interior end and size 6 is a wide or heavy exterior leaf. For a property manager that means a single model can stock a whole building and be tuned door by door. It is ADA compliant when properly installed and adjusted, which on an accessible opening means backing the spring down to the opening force your inspector is measuring while the door still latches. Medium duty, and it is a commercial closer, not a residential one.
    3) My door has a narrow top rail. Will an LCN 1461 still fit on it?
    Measure the top rail before you order. The 1461 body sits on a 1" x 7-1/2" hole pattern and needs that much flat rail or frame face to land on, plus room for the arm shoe. Where the rail is too shallow, or where a parallel arm has to clear a stop or a flush panel, a drop plate carries the body down off the rail: LCN 1460-18 for regular mounting and 1460-18PA for parallel arm mounting. Drop plates are ordered separately from the closer, so decide this at the same time you pick the arm.
    4) Which LCN 1461 arm do I order if I want the door to hold open, and is it handed?
    Hold open lives in the arm, not the closer body, so pick it up front. The hold open arms are H (hold open), HLONG (hold open long), HWPA (hold open with parallel arm bracket), HCUSH (hold open Cush-n-Stop), SHCUSH (spring hold open Cush-n-Stop), HEDA (hold open extra duty) and HEDA62G (extra duty hold open with the 62G thick hub shoe). Handing matters on two of them: HEDA and HEDA62G are ordered as left hand or right hand. The rest carry no hand in the code. Establish the door's hand standing outside the opening, from the side the door swings away from you, before you place that order.
    5) Does the LCN 1461 have a built-in stop, or do I need a separate overhead stop or wall bumper?
    Only if you order a Cush-n-Stop arm. CUSH builds the stop into the arm shoe, SCUSH adds a spring to cushion it, and HCUSH and SHCUSH combine the stop with hold open. Those are parallel arm push side arms, and they stop the door at the arm rather than at the wall, which is what you want in a corridor with no wall behind the door or where a kick plate keeps getting hit. Order a regular, long, heavy duty or extra duty arm instead and the closer does no stopping at all, so the opening still needs a wall stop, floor stop or overhead stop. A closer is not a stop.
    6) Can I get an LCN 1461 with delayed action so a slower user has time to get through the door?
    Order the CYLDEL cylinder in place of the standard CYL. Both carry the same adjustable spring size 1-6; the delayed action version holds the door up near the open position for an interval before the normal close cycle begins. That is the version to spec at accessible entrances, patient room and restroom doors in healthcare, and anywhere a cart or a wheelchair has to clear the opening. Delay is a cylinder line item on the order, not a valve you can dial in later, so decide it before you buy.
    7) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the LCN 1461 door closer?
    The LCN 1461 is a medium duty surface closer with a field adjustable spring size 1 through 6 that can be mounted hinge pull side, top jamb push side, or parallel arm push side. The closest match in another line is the Norton Rixson 8501A, a Grade 1 medium duty tri-mount surface closer with an adjustable size 1-6 spring. The Sargent 1131 and the BEST HD7000 are also Grade 1 medium duty surface closers, and the Dormakaba 7303 is a Grade 1 medium duty closer in the 7300 Series. The Falcon SC81A is a medium duty Grade 1 surface closer with a cast aluminum body, where the 1461 body is iron. None of these share a hole pattern: the 1461 lays out on a 1 inch by 7-1/2 inch pattern, so a brand change means drilling to the new manufacturer's template rather than reusing the existing holes.
    8) The LCN 1461 is rated medium duty. What surface closer should go on a high traffic exterior entrance instead?
    The 1461 is a medium duty commercial closer with an adjustable size 1-6 spring and all-weather fluid. For an entrance that takes constant traffic and wind load, heavier rated bodies in the same surface mounted category include the BEST HD8000 Series and the BEST EHD9000 Series, both Grade 1, with the EHD9000 listed as extra heavy duty with adjustable spring sizes 1-6. Sargent offers the 1431 Powerglide and the 281 Powerglide, both Grade 1 heavy duty, with the 281 built as a cast iron body. The Falcon SC71A is a Grade 1 heavy duty surface closer, the Dormakaba 8616 with flat arm is Grade 1 heavy duty and tri-packed, and the Design Hardware 316 Series is rated medium to heavy duty with a tri-packed non-hold-open arm.
    9) The door needs to stand open. What are the hold open choices on the LCN 1461 versus other brands?
    The 1461 handles hold open through the arm: H is the hold open arm, HLONG the hold open long arm, HWPA the hold open arm with parallel arm mounting bracket, HEDA-LH and HEDA-RH the handed hold open extra duty arms, and HCUSH and SHCUSH the hold open Cush-n-Stop arms. Other lines sell hold open as a model. The Accentra 51 Series is an industrial closer with hold open, tri-packed mount options, and size 1-6, and its function is listed as a tri-packed hold open arm. The Orca BHDC1958 Series hold open closer with parallel bracket is also a tri-packed hold open arm for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Stanley A45-501HL is supplied with a long hold open arm as standard for top jamb mounting. Note the handing: the 1461 hold open extra duty arms come left hand and right hand, so the swing has to be identified at order time.
    10) Is a closer with adjustable back check the same thing as the LCN 1461 Cush-n-Stop arm?
    No. On the 1461, Cush-n-Stop is an arm choice: CUSH, SCUSH, HCUSH, and SHCUSH put a mechanical stop in the arm itself, which is what gets used when there is no wall or floor stop to catch the door. Back check is a hydraulic function that cushions the door as it swings toward open. The Cal-Royal 500S is a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check, and the Cal-Royal 700S is a Grade 1 dual valve sized closer with an adjustable tube arm. Both control the swing hydraulically rather than stopping the leaf at a fixed degree, so an opening that needs a hard stop needs either a stop arm or a separate wall or floor stop.
    11) What should be used instead of the LCN 1461 when the opening calls for a slide track arm rather than a projecting arm?
    The 1461 arm choices are projecting arms: REGARM regular, LONG, HD heavy duty, EDA extra duty, and the Cush-n-Stop family, mounted hinge pull side, top jamb push side, or parallel arm push side. Where the specification or the aesthetic calls for a track, the Corbin Russwin DC5230 Series is a Grade 1 surface closer supplied with a slide track arm as standard for pull side mounting on 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dormakaba 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty jamb track closer for frame face mounting on the pull side with an adjustable size 1-6 spring and a flat non-hold-open arm. Track units change the reveal and top rail conditions that govern the layout, so the opening should be measured against the track template rather than the 1 inch by 7-1/2 inch pattern the 1461 uses.
    12) Does the LCN 1461 ship tri-packed with all the mounting brackets, or do I have to know the mounting before I order?
    Know the mounting first. The arm is a separate line item on a 1461 order, 21 of them, and it is the arm that determines whether the closer mounts hinge pull side, top jamb, or parallel arm. That is different from a tri-packed closer like the Accentra 1101BF or the Orca Hardware BHDC1958RA/PA, which arrive with brackets for all three mountings so the installer decides in the field. The trade-off is worth understanding: pick the arm and you get exactly the arm the opening needs, including Cush-n-Stop and extra duty versions a tri-pack does not include. Survey the openings, then order.
    13) When do I need to order the LCN 1461 with through bolts instead of standard screws?
    Two screw packages are offered: SRT, self reaming and tapping screws, and TBSRT, through bolts with self reaming and tapping screws. SRT is the normal choice on hollow metal doors and steel frames where the fastener bites into metal. Go TBSRT on wood doors, mineral core doors, and on any high abuse or high traffic opening, a school corridor or a loading area, where a closer that gets yanked will otherwise strip its fasteners out of the door face. Through bolting also gives you something to land on when the door skin is thin.
    14) Will an LCN 1461 work on an exterior door in a cold or coastal climate?
    It is built for it on two counts. The hydraulic fluid is all-weather, so closing speed stays consistent through summer heat and winter cold instead of slamming in July and stalling in January, and you are not sending someone back twice a year to re-adjust the valves. The body is iron with a powder coat finish, which is the corrosion resistant option for an exposed opening compared with a plain painted body. Pair it with the appropriate spring setting from the 1-6 range for the size and exposure of the leaf, since a wind-loaded exterior door needs more spring than a interior one.
    15) Can I standardize on the LCN 1461 across a whole building, interior and exterior, and still match finishes?
    That is the case for this closer. The adjustable 1-6 spring and all-weather fluid mean the same model handles a light office door and an exposed entrance, so you carry one closer in the shop and change only the arm and the spring setting per opening. Six powder coat finishes cover most existing hardware schemes: 689 aluminum, 690 statuary bronze, 691 light bronze, 693 gloss black, 695 dark bronze and 696 brass. Where openings differ is the arm, hold open on a mechanical room, Cush-n-Stop where there is no wall stop, extra duty on the abuse doors, all on the same closer body.
    16) The door gets thrown open hard. Which LCN 1461 arm holds up to abuse?
    Step up from the regular arm. The heavy duty arms are HD, HDLONG and HD62A, and HDPA is the heavy duty version with the parallel arm bracket. Above those sit the extra duty arms, EDA and EDAW62G, the latter with the 62G thick hub shoe, plus HEDA and HEDA62G if you also want hold open. On a parallel arm application, an abuse arm is only half the answer: without a Cush-n-Stop arm or a separate overhead or wall stop, the arm is what takes the impact when someone throws the door into the wall. Spec the stop as well as the arm.
    17) Does the LCN 1461 meet Buy American requirements, and what compliance data do I need for a federal or school submittal?
    BAA Qualified, so it clears Buy American Act requirements on federally funded work. It is also ANSI/BHMA A156.4 compliant, the surface door closer standard, UL Listed, and ADA compliant when properly installed and adjusted. Those four lines are typically what a GSA, school district or healthcare submittal asks for on a surface closer, and they are what an inspector checks against the door schedule. Note the ADA claim is conditional on installation and adjustment, so the opening force still has to be set and verified in the field.
    18) What other brands make a medium duty surface door closer comparable to the LCN 1461?
    Same duty class, different makers: the BEST HD7000 Series is medium duty and Grade 1 with adjustable spring power and backcheck; the Falcon SC81A is a medium duty cast aluminum body, Grade 1; the Sargent 1131 is a medium duty Grade 1 adjustable closer for medium traffic; and the Norton Rixson 8501A is a medium duty Grade 1 tri-mount with an adjustable size 1-6 spring. The difference that shows up on the job is body material and how the mounting is handled. The 1461 has an iron body and is configured by arm, where the Falcon SC81A and the Sargent 1331 use aluminum bodies and several of these peers ship tri-mount.
    19) The LCN 1461 is medium duty. What should I use instead on a heavy exterior or high abuse door?
    When the opening is genuinely heavy duty, move up a class rather than pushing a medium duty closer to size 6. The BEST EHD9000 Series is extra heavy duty, Grade 1, with adjustable spring sizes 1-6; the BEST HD8000 Series and the Falcon SC71A are heavy duty Grade 1; the Sargent 1431 Powerglide is heavy duty Grade 1 with adjustable spring power; and the Sargent 281 Powerglide is a heavy duty cast iron body. That said, a lot of what people call abuse is really an unprotected door, and on the 1461 the extra duty arms and a Cush-n-Stop arm address that directly.
    20) Is there a simpler closer than the LCN 1461 for a low traffic interior office door?
    The 1461 is a medium duty commercial closer with an adjustable size 1-6 spring, all-weather fluid, and a choice of hinge, top jamb, or parallel arm mounting. On a light interior leaf that never sees weather, lighter rated surface closers cover the job: the BEST SL6000 Series is a Grade 1 light duty closer with adjustable spring sizes, the Norton Rixson 160 Series is a Grade 1 light duty light commercial closer with an adjustable spring, and the Arrow DC314 in the DC300 Series is a Grade 1 light duty closer. The Falcon SC91A is a light duty closer listed at Grade 3 and the Cal-Royal 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic closer, so check what grade the specification calls for before dropping down.
    21) Which surface door closers offer delayed action besides the LCN 1461 with the CYLDEL cylinder?
    On the 1461, delayed action is a cylinder choice: CYL is the standard cylinder and CYLDEL is the delayed action cylinder, both adjustable spring size 1-6. Among other lines, Orca Hardware builds delayed action into the model itself. The BHDC1958 Series delayed action closer with regular arm and parallel bracket is a tri-packed non-hold-open unit for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the BHDC2011 Series delayed action closer with regular arm and parallel bracket is the equivalent in that series, also for 1-3/4 inch doors. The practical difference in ordering is that delayed action on the 1461 is selected as the cylinder while the arm is chosen separately.
    22) Which closers meet ADA opening force requirements, and how does the LCN 1461 compare?
    The 1461 is ADA compliant when properly installed and adjusted, and the adjustable size 1-6 spring is what lets the closing force be dialed to the opening force the code official measures at the door. Other closers written for barrier free work include the Cal-Royal 500S, a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check, and the Cal-Royal N900PBF in the 900 Series, a Grade 1 barrier free hydraulic surface closer. The Calibre CA4001 is a Grade 1 hydraulic closer with adjustable spring tension for ADA, the Calibre CA9901 is a Grade 1 ADA surface mount closer with a tri-pack arm covering sizes 2-5, and the Imperial USA TC4300 is a heavy duty ADA closer covering sizes 1-6. In every case the compliance is earned at adjustment, not out of the carton, so the spring has to be set and the force verified on the installed leaf.
    23) What closer suits a narrow stile aluminum storefront door, if the LCN 1461 is not the right fit?
    The 1461 is an iron bodied surface closer that mounts on a 1 inch by 7-1/2 inch pattern hinge pull side, top jamb push side, or parallel arm push side, so the top rail and reveal on an aluminum entrance have to be checked against that layout. Closers written specifically for storefront work include the Norton Rixson 1600 Series aluminum storefront closer with tri-style mounting, a Grade 1 heavy duty unit in the 1600BC Series, and the Norton Rixson 1601P, a Grade 1 medium duty tri-mount closer rated for 180 degree swing where the door has to lay back against a return wall. The Sargent 1331 is a Grade 1 medium duty closer with a universal aluminum body.
    24) Other brands sell a tri-pack closer that covers all three mountings in one carton. How does the LCN 1461 differ at order time?
    The 1461 mounts hinge pull side, top jamb push side, or parallel arm push side, but the arm is selected as part of the order: REGARM for regular, RWPA for regular arm with parallel arm bracket, HDPA for heavy duty with parallel arm bracket, LONG, EDA, and the Cush-n-Stop arms among them. Several comparable closers ship tri-packed instead, meaning the regular and parallel arm hardware travels together and the mounting is decided at the door. The Accentra 1101BF and the Accentra 2701 Series are tri-packed non-hold-open units, the Arrow DCN325 is a Grade 1 tri-pack with a regular and parallel arm, the Dexter DCH1000 Series is a Grade 1 tri mount closer for regular, parallel, or top jamb mounting with a full cover, and the Design Hardware 316 Series ships tri-packed with a cover. The tradeoff is stocking one carton for any of three mountings versus specifying the exact arm the opening needs.
    25) Can an Arrow DCN500DP parallel drop plate be used to mount an LCN 1461?
    No. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate made for the Arrow DCN500 closer, not a closer body and not a universal bracket. Drop plates are drilled to the hole pattern of the closer they belong to, and the 1461 lays out on a 1 inch by 7-1/2 inch pattern, so the holes do not line up. When the top rail is too narrow or the frame face is obstructed on a 1461 installation, the correct fix is the LCN drop plate or parallel arm shoe built for the 1460 Series, ordered alongside the closer.
    26) Light traffic interior office doors, is a commercial medium duty closer like the LCN 1461 more than I need?
    For a low traffic interior door it can be. Lighter options include the Falcon SC91A, light duty, Grade 3; the BEST SL6000 Series, light duty, Grade 1, with adjustable spring sizes; and the Arrow DCN325, light duty, Grade 1, with adjustable spring size 1-6, regular and parallel arm tri-pack, supplied less cover. Where the 1461 earns the extra is an iron body, all-weather fluid, and the arm range, so mixed interior and exterior openings, doors that get abused, or a building you want on one closer model rather than three.
    27) Does an LCN 1461 come with a cover, and can I get a metal one instead of plastic?
    A slim line plastic cover ships standard with the closer. A full plastic cover and Designer Series metal covers are available separately for openings where appearance matters, a lobby or a tenant entrance, and there is also a less cover option if the closer is going behind a panel or you are matching an existing look. Cover choice does not change the closer body or how it mounts, so it can be decided last.
    28) Which comparable surface closers come with a cover, and what does the LCN 1461 include?
    The 1461 ships with a slim line plastic cover as standard, with a full plastic cover and a Designer Series metal cover offered separately. Cover practice varies across brands. The Arrow DCN325 and the Arrow DCN314 are Grade 1 surface closers supplied less cover, so a cover has to be added if the closer is going on a visible interior opening. The Dexter DCH1000 Series is a Grade 1 tri mount closer supplied with a full cover, and the Design Hardware 316 Series is supplied with a cover. On a back of house or mechanical door, a less cover unit finishes the job; on a lobby or corridor, the cover style is part of the specification.
    29) A Stanley wardrobe pivot came up next to the LCN 1461. Do pivots do the same job as a door closer?
    No, and they are not interchangeable. The Stanley 327 is a heavy wardrobe pivot for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors up to 150 pounds, and the Stanley 341 is a wardrobe pivot for flush recessed or overlay doors from 1-1/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch. Pivots hang the door and let it swing; they carry weight and set the axis of rotation. The 1461 is a hydraulic surface closer that controls how the door returns, using all-weather fluid and an adjustable size 1-6 spring, with delayed action available through the CYLDEL cylinder. A pivot hung opening that also has to self close still needs a closer.

      Easy-Peasy Door Control!

      Posted by Tyler on Aug 14th 2023

      Tried the LCN 1461 door closer from zensupply.com. Love the smooth and controlled door closing – no more slamming doors. Installation was a bit tricky, could use clearer instructions. Overall, a solid choice for maintaining door sanity.
