Falcon 8240-3077 AL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Falcon 8240-3077 regular arm work on a door closer other than the 8240 Series?
No. The 8240-3077 is built for Falcon 8240 Series automatic door operators only, and closer arms are matched to the body they mount on. If the operator on your door is a different Falcon series or another brand, this arm won't index correctly on the pinion or line up with the mounting prep, and you need the arm made for that unit instead.
2) What is a regular arm versus a hold open arm on a commercial door closer?
A regular arm is the standard non-hold-open linkage: the door closes every time it is released, which is what you want on a fire rated opening or any door that must stay latched. A hold open arm has an adjustable stop that parks the door open at a set degree for loading, moving, or ventilation. The Falcon 8240-3077 is the regular arm configuration. If you need the door to stand open, look at a hold open assembly such as the LCN 1250-3049/PA or the Sargent 25-H rather than this one.
3) Can I order a Sargent 25-CPS instead of the Falcon 8240-3077?
Those solve different problems. The Falcon 8240-3077 is a replacement arm component for 8240 Series automatic door operators - it is the linkage, not the closer. The Sargent 25-CPS is a heavy duty parallel arm door closer with compression stop for 351 and 281 closers, and the Sargent 1431-CPS TB EN is a heavy duty surface door closer with parallel arm and compression stop. Ordering a Sargent unit gets you Sargent hardware for a Sargent or new opening, not a part that will mount to an existing Falcon 8240 operator. If the operator on the door is a Falcon 8240, the arm is the part to replace.
4) What is the LCN equivalent of the Falcon 8240-3077 regular arm?
On the LCN side, the closest counterpart in a regular arm is the LCN 1260-3077 Regular Arm with Parallel Arm Bracket Door Closer Assembly, which carries the same 3077 arm designation and is built for LCN 1260 Series closers. The Falcon 8240-3077 is a regular arm built specifically for 8240 Series automatic door operators and is part of the 8200 Series line, so the two are not interchangeable on the same device - match the arm to the operator or closer body already on the door. LCN also offers the 4000T-3077T Standard Arm Replacement Component for its 4000T Series if that is what is mounted overhead.
5) I need the door to stay open on its own - is there an arm that does that instead of a plain regular arm?
A regular arm like the Falcon 8240-3077 provides the standard mechanical linkage for controlled opening and closing, with no hold-open function. If the opening needs to park in the open position - a receiving door, a move-in corridor, a kitchen or loading entrance - a hold-open arm is the different part to specify. The LCN 1250-3049/PA is a hold open arm assembly with a parallel arm shoe, non-handed, with adjustable hold open, and the LCN 4010-3049 is a hold open arm with an adjustable elbow function. Both are LCN components and must be matched to an LCN closer, not fitted to a Falcon 8240 operator.
6) My building's automatic operator arm is bent from a wind gust. Do I have to replace the whole operator?
Not if the operator body and motor are sound. The 8240-3077 is sold as a standalone replacement arm for the Falcon 8240 Series, so a bent or worn arm on an office, retail, or healthcare entrance can be swapped without pulling the operator off the header. It is a commercial-duty part meant for high traffic openings and is replaced by a door technician following the operator's own installation instructions.
7) Is the LCN 4000T-3077T the same arm as the 8240-3077 since both are 3077?
No. The shared 3077 number reflects a standard arm designation, not a shared part. The LCN 4000T-3077T is a standard arm replacement component for the LCN 4000T Series, while the Falcon 8240-3077 is the regular arm for Falcon 8240 Series automatic door operators in the 8200 Series line. Order against the device on the door: an LCN 4000T closer takes the 4000T-3077T, and a Falcon 8240 operator takes the 8240-3077.
8) The door swings into a wall and needs a stop built into the arm - what should I use instead?
The Falcon 8240-3077 is a regular arm and controls the door through the operator, without an integral stop. Where the opening needs the arm itself to limit the swing, the Sargent compression stop arms are the parts written for that condition: the Sargent 25-CPS is a heavy duty parallel arm with compression stop, and the Sargent 25-CPSH is a heavy duty hold-open parallel arm with compression stop, both for 351 and 281 closers. The Sargent 25-H is a hold-open arm for 351 and 281 closers in standard and top jamb mount if hold-open is wanted without the stop. All three are Sargent components and mount to Sargent closers.
9) For a facility standard, which of these carry a stated ANSI grade?
The Sargent closer and arm products state their ratings directly: the 1431-CPS TB EN, 25-CPS, 25-CPSH and 25-H are all Grade 1 and heavy duty. The Falcon 8240-3077 is a commercial replacement arm for 8240 Series automatic door operators, so the grade that governs the opening is the one carried by the operator it serves rather than by the arm itself. For a facility spec that names a grade at the closer, the Sargent Grade 1 units are where that number is stated; for facilities already standardized on Falcon 8240 operators, the 8240-3077 keeps the existing assemblies to their original configuration.
10) What finish does the Falcon 8240-3077 arm come in?
One finish only, 689 aluminum, which is the standard painted aluminum finish used across commercial door closers and the usual match for an existing Falcon operator arm. There is no dark bronze or plated option on this part, so if the other openings in your building are running a plated closer finish, this arm won't match them.
