Falcon OHC101-STD90-SL/GE-695 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Falcon OHC100A concealed closer fit an aluminum storefront door with a Jackson closer already in the header?
Yes. The OHC100A cylinder body is built to the Jackson hole pattern, so it drops into an existing Jackson prep in a standard aluminum frame header without cutting new holes. The kit is made specifically for aluminum doors and frames, and it ships as cylinder, arm, and floor pivot together, so you replace the whole closer assembly rather than trying to mate a new cylinder to a worn arm.
2) Which spring size of the Falcon OHC100A do I order for a heavy storefront entrance door?
Two adjustable ranges are offered: Size 1-3 and Size 3-5. Take the 3-5 for a wide or heavy exterior entrance where wind and door weight demand more closing power, and the 1-3 for lighter interior or vestibule leaves. Both are adjustable within their range, so a door that lands near size 3 can be served by either, which is useful when you are standardizing a building on one part number.
3) Do I need to order a left hand and a right hand OHC100A for a pair of entrance doors?
No. The OHC100A overhead concealed closer is non-handed, so one part number covers both leaves of a pair. What you do have to match per leaf is the arm and floor pivot style and the cylinder degree, since those must suit the door swing and the pivot prep already in the floor.
4) What is the difference between the EL/DP, SL/GE, and VO arm options on the Falcon OHC100A kit?
They are three different ways the closer connects to the door. EL/DP is a center hung floor pivot used with the "A" style end load arm. SL/GE is a center hung floor pivot used with the "S" style side load arm. VO is an offset arm and track, which is what you want when the door hangs offset rather than center pivoted. Pick by how the existing door is hung and how the arm loads into the header, because the floor pivot comes with the kit and has to match the floor prep.
5) Should I get the hold open or the standard cylinder on an overhead concealed closer?
Hold open keeps the door parked open at the set degree, which is what you want for a receiving door, a stockroom, or a restaurant back of house where carts move through. Standard closes every time and is the choice for any opening where the door must not be blocked open. The OHC100A cylinder is offered four ways: hold open at 90 or 105 degrees, and standard at 90 or 105 degrees. The 105 degree versions give a wider opening arc where furniture or equipment has to clear the frame.
6) Is the Falcon OHC100A closer fire rated and ADA compliant for a healthcare or school entrance?
The OHC100A is UL10C fire rated and ADA compliant, which is what an institutional spec normally calls for on a rated opening. Note that if the opening is fire rated, hold open on a closer is not appropriate unless it is a listed closer holder release arrangement, so on rated doors specify the standard cylinder rather than the hold open version.
7) Can I use the Falcon OHC100A on a federally funded project with Buy American requirements?
The OHC100A concealed closer kit is BAA qualified, so it clears Buy American Act sourcing requirements on government and municipal work. That plus the UL10C fire rating and ADA compliance is normally what a public agency submittal asks for on an aluminum entrance closer.
8) What finishes does the Falcon OHC100A arm come in, and will it match my dark bronze storefront?
The arm is offered in 689 aluminum and 695 dark bronze. Dark bronze matches a bronze anodized storefront; 689 matches clear anodized aluminum. Only the arm finish is a choice here, since the cylinder and pivot sit concealed in the header and floor where finish does not show.
9) Do I have to buy the floor pivot separately with the Falcon OHC100A closer?
No, the pivot is in the box. The OHC100A ships as a complete kit with cylinder, arm, and floor pivot, and the pivot is matched to the arm style you select. That is the difference between this and buying a bare cylinder body: on a full closer replacement you are not chasing a separate pivot part number to finish the job.
10) Is an overhead concealed closer the right choice, or should I use a surface mounted closer on my aluminum entrance?
Concealed is the choice when the closer must not be visible and the aluminum header already has room for a cylinder, which is the usual case on a glass storefront entrance. It is also more resistant to tampering than a surface closer because the body is inside the header. The trade off is the install: a concealed unit needs a header pocket and a floor pivot prep, so on a door with no existing concealed prep a surface mounted closer is far less work. On a retrofit of an existing concealed opening, particularly one with a Jackson prep, the OHC100A goes straight back in.
11) My concealed closer is leaking oil but the arm and pivot are fine. Do I need the whole OHC100A kit?
The failure is in the cylinder, and the OHC100A is sold as a complete kit including the arm and floor pivot rather than as a loose cylinder. On a leaking closer that is usually the right call anyway: a cylinder that has been running low on fluid has typically worn the pivot bearing too, and replacing all three at once means the arm geometry and pivot are matched to the new body. Order the same arm and pivot style as what is in the door, and match the degree and hold open behaviour of the cylinder you are pulling out.
12) Is the Falcon OHC100A closer body cast iron or aluminum?
Cast iron. The OHC100A cylinder body is iron, which is what carries the spring load and hydraulic pressure over a high traffic commercial entrance without flexing. It is a commercial rated unit, not a residential one.
