Cal-Royal 901 / 902-ALU – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Cal-Royal 901/902 hold open arm work on a left hand and a right hand door, or do I have to order handed?
Non-handed. The 901/902 hold open arm installs the same way regardless of which way the door swings, so a property manager stocking one part number covers every opening in the building. That is the main reason to keep it on the shelf instead of tracking handed spares.
2) Is the Cal-Royal 901/902 arm for parallel arm mounting or regular arm mounting?
Parallel arm only. The 901/902 ships with the parallel bracket and is built for parallel arm installation, where the closer body mounts on the push side of the door and the arm runs back along the face of the frame. If your closer is set up regular arm (pull side, arm projecting out from the frame), this is the wrong arm for that mounting.
3) Do I need a separate door stop if I use the Cal-Royal 901/902 hold open arm?
No extra stop hardware is needed for the hold-open function. The stop is built into the soffit shoe of the 901/902, so the arm both holds the door open and limits the swing at that point. Nothing else gets ordered to make the hold-open work.
4) Is a hold open arm a good idea on a fire rated door?
Not on a fire door. A mechanical hold-open arm like the Cal-Royal 901/902 keeps the door open until someone physically pushes it shut, which defeats the self-closing requirement a fire assembly depends on. Fire and life safety openings use an electrified hold-open that releases on alarm, such as the LCN 4040SE track for fire/life safety door closers. Use the 901/902 on non-rated openings: offices, classrooms, storerooms, back-of-house doors you want propped during the day.
5) What is the closest equivalent to a Cal-Royal 901/902 hold open arm if the closer on the door is a Deltana DC10?
The Cal-Royal 901/902 is a hold open arm built around a parallel bracket with a stop integrated into the soffit shoe, so it is matched to Cal-Royal parallel arm closer installations. Door closer arms are closer-series specific rather than universal, so on a Deltana DC10 closer the arm to order is the Deltana DCHA1050 hold open arm, which is built for the DC10 series. Both deliver hold open function; the difference is which closer body the arm mounts to.
6) What do I order instead of a hold open arm if I want the door to stop at the end of its swing but not stay open?
A hold open arm such as the Cal-Royal 901/902 uses a stop in the soffit shoe to keep a commercial door standing open until it is pushed shut. If the requirement is only to cushion and limit the swing without latching the door open, a cushion arm is the different part: the Deltana DCCA4041 is a cushion arm for the DC40 door closer. Order to the closer series on the door, since the arm is specific to it.
7) On a fire rated opening with an LCN 4040SE closer, can I use a Cal-Royal 901/902 hold open arm?
No. The Cal-Royal 901/902 is a Cal-Royal parallel arm accessory and is not an LCN 4040SE component. For LCN fire and life safety door closers, the arm assembly is a track: the LCN 4040SE-3038 is the standard track for fire and life safety door closers, and the LCN 4040SEH-3038 is the hold open track in the 4000 series. On a fire rated opening, the hold open decision belongs to the listed closer and its track, not to a mechanical hold open arm added onto it.
8) What finishes does the Cal-Royal 901/902 hold open arm come in?
Six: Black, Aluminum, Duronodic, Gold, US3 polished brass, and US26 polished chrome. Aluminum and Duronodic are the two that match the standard aluminum storefront and dark bronze closer bodies most commercial buildings already have; US3 and US26 are the plated options when the arm has to match brass or chrome lever trim on the same opening.
9) Can I put the Cal-Royal 901/902 hold open arm on a floor closer?
No. The 901/902 is a surface mounted accessory for a surface applied door closer. Center hung floor closers, like the Norton Rixson 28, 30, 328, and 40 Series units, carry their own bottom arms and spindles and take nothing from a surface closer. If you are working on a floor closer opening, look at the arm for that specific series instead.
10) My parallel arm closer will not reach the frame because of a deep reveal. Will a hold open arm fix that?
No, reveal is a bracket problem, not an arm problem. The 901/902 comes with a parallel bracket for a standard soffit condition. When the reveal is too deep for the closer to land, you need a shoe support or bracket kit sized for that reveal, such as the LCN 1260-30 cush shoe support rated to a 3-1/16 inch reveal, or an LCN 1260-18QF quick fix bracket kit, on the matching closer. Measure the reveal before you order anything.
11) Is an LCN 1260-30 cush shoe support the same thing as a Cal-Royal 901/902 hold open arm?
They are different parts. The Cal-Royal 901/902 is a complete non-handed hold open arm with a parallel bracket and a stop built into the soffit shoe. The LCN 1260-30 is a cush shoe support for door closers with 3-1/16 inch reveal compatibility, in the 1260 series - a support piece that carries the shoe at a given reveal rather than an arm assembly that holds the door open. If the reveal on the frame is the problem, the shoe support is what changes; if the door needs to stand open, the hold open arm is what changes.
12) The frame will not take a parallel arm bracket cleanly. What are my options besides a Cal-Royal 901/902?
The Cal-Royal 901/902 is designed specifically for parallel arm mounting on surface mounted closers, so it depends on a soffit the bracket can land on. Where mounting is the obstacle, the LCN 1260-18QF quick fix bracket kit in the 1000 series addresses closer mounting on the frame, and the Dorma 15323 1-1/2 inch offset bottom arm with cover is a standard duty arm with no fire rating that resolves a different offset condition. If surface mounting is not workable at all, a concealed floor closer such as the Norton Rixson 28 Series center hung single acting heavy duty floor closer, rated to 350 lbs door weight, moves the control into the floor instead.
13) What is the difference between a hold open arm and a hold open track?
Both hold a door open, but they are built differently. The Cal-Royal 901/902 is a non-handed hold open arm using a parallel bracket, with the stop built into the soffit shoe, so the hold open point is set at the shoe. The LCN 4040SEH-3038 is a hold open track in the 4000 series, where the arm roller travels in a track mounted on the frame; the LCN 4040SE-3038 is the standard, non hold open track for fire and life safety closers in the 4040SE series. Track hardware sits tighter to the frame; arm hardware projects from the door face.
14) Is the Cal-Royal 901/902 hold open arm rated for a school or hospital corridor door, or is it residential grade?
Commercial. The 901/902 is built as a commercial door control component and gets used in offices, schools, healthcare buildings, retail, warehouses, apartment buildings, and municipal facilities. It is not a light residential closer accessory.
