Falcon SC70A-18 MTBK – Frequently Asked Questions

1) When do I need the Falcon SC70A-18 back plate instead of mounting the closer directly?
You need the SC70A-18 back plate when the mounting surface is too shallow for the closer body. For a hinge (pull) side mount, that means a toprail under 3-7/8 inches (98mm); for a top jamb mount, a head frame under 3-7/8 inches (98mm). Measure the toprail or head frame first. At 3-7/8 inches or wider, the closer mounts without it.
2) Will the SC70A-18 plate work with any Falcon door closer?
No. The SC70A-18 narrow frame back plate is built for the Falcon SC70A Series closers only. If you are working with a different Falcon closer family, the plate for that series is a different part.
3) I have narrow aluminum storefront doors with a shallow top rail. Do I need this plate on a hinge side closer install?
Yes, if that top rail measures under 3-7/8 inches (98mm). Narrow stile aluminum entrances commonly have a top rail shallower than that, which leaves too little flat surface to land the SC70A closer body. The SC70A-18 back plate spans the gap so the closer can be fastened properly.
4) Do I order the SC70A-18 back plate separately from the door closer?
Yes. The SC70A-18 is a standalone accessory, not something packed with the closer. Spec it as a separate line alongside the SC70A closer, in the matching finish, whenever the opening has a toprail or head frame under 3-7/8 inches (98mm). If you are standardizing several narrow openings in a building, count them and order one plate per closer.
5) What finishes does the Falcon SC70A-18 narrow frame back plate come in?
Four: 689 aluminum, 696 brass, 695 dark bronze, and 622 matte black. Order the plate in the same finish as the SC70A closer it mounts, since the plate sits behind and around the closer body where it is visible on the door or frame.
6) Is the Falcon SC70A-18 back plate rated for commercial door traffic?
It is a commercial-duty accessory, catalogued for commercial rather than residential use, and it is the part specified for schools, healthcare, offices, retail, and government openings where the frame or rail is too narrow for a standard SC70A mount.
