Falcon 8231AL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What door sizes and weights does the Falcon 8231 series handle?
The Falcon 8231 series typically accommodates interior doors up to 36 inches wide. Check the manufacturer specifications for exact weight limits. Verify your door dimensions and weight before ordering to ensure proper operation.
2) Is this closer suitable for exterior applications?
Surface mount closers like the 8231 series are primarily designed for interior use. The cast aluminum construction provides durability but exterior installation requires weather-resistant models. Consult the spec sheet for environmental ratings.
3) How do I determine the correct handing for installation?
Stand on the pull side of the door. If hinges are on your right, order right-hand. If hinges are on your left, order left-hand. Some models offer reversible mounting options.
4) What finishes are available for the Falcon 8231 series?
Standard finishes typically include aluminum, dark bronze, and painted options. Check the product specifications for available finishes. Match the closer finish to your door hardware for consistent appearance.

Standard packages include the closer body, mounting bracket, arm assembly, and installation hardware. Check the product listing for included components. Additional accessories may be sold separately.
7) Can I install this closer on hollow metal doors?
Yes, surface mount closers work on hollow metal, wood, and composite doors. Ensure adequate door thickness and reinforcement at mounting points. Use appropriate fasteners for your door material.
8) How do I adjust the closing speed and latch speed?
Use the adjustment screws on the closer body. Turn clockwise to decrease speed, counterclockwise to increase. Make small quarter-turn adjustments. Test door operation after each adjustment.
9) What maintenance does this closer require?
Check mounting screws monthly for tightness. Clean the closer body regularly. Lubricate pivot points annually with light machine oil. Inspect for oil leaks or damaged components during routine maintenance.

Common replacement parts include arms, mounting brackets, and adjustment screws. Contact the manufacturer or check our door hardware section for available parts and compatibility information.
