Falcon SC70A-3049/PA AL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon SC70A-3049/PA hold open arm work on any SC70A door closer, or do I need to specify handing?
The SC70A-3049/PA is non-handed, so one part covers left and right hand openings. It is built for Falcon SC70A Series closers, and that is the compatibility to confirm before you order: it's a replacement arm for that series, not a universal arm that fits any closer body. For a property manager stocking a shelf, non-handed means one part number covers every door in the building running SC70A closers.
2) Does the Falcon SC70A-3049/PA include the parallel arm bracket, or is that ordered separately?
The PA shoe comes with it. That is what the /PA in the part number covers, and it means you can mount the closer in a parallel arm configuration without sourcing a separate bracket. The arm also supports hinge side and top jamb mounting, so the same part handles all three mounting positions.
3) My door frame has a deep reveal. Will the SC70A hold open arm still reach?
The forearm on the SC70A-3049/PA is adjustable, which is what lets it take up a range of door and frame reveal conditions rather than fixing you to one setback. That is the point of a two-piece arm: you set the forearm length on site once the shoe position is established.
4) I need a hold open arm but my closer is an LCN, not a Falcon. What do I order?
Don't use the Falcon SC70A-3049/PA on an LCN body. Closer arms are series-specific. For LCN, the equivalent hold open arm with parallel arm shoe is the LCN 1250-3049/PA for 1250 Series closers, and the LCN 4010-3049 hold open arm covers 4020 Series. On Sargent, the 25-H is a hold-open arm for 351 and 281 closers with standard and top jamb mount. Match the arm to the closer series you have on the door.
5) Is a hold open arm the right choice, or should I use a standard arm with a stop?
A hold open arm like the SC70A-3049/PA is what you want when the door needs to stand open on demand, for a loading corridor, a classroom, a move-in. If instead you only need to stop the door before it hits a wall, a standard or regular arm with a stop is the part to look at, such as the LCN 1260-3077 regular arm with parallel arm bracket or the LCN 4000T-3077T standard arm. On fire rated openings, hold open arms are generally not permitted because the door has to be free to self-close, so check the opening's rating before you spec one.
6) I need the arm to hold the door open AND stop it from swinging into the wall. Does the Falcon SC70A-3049/PA do both?
The SC70A-3049/PA is a hold open arm with a PA shoe; it isn't described as carrying an integral stop. If the opening needs a positive stop built into the arm, look at a compression stop arm instead, such as the Sargent 25-CPSH heavy duty hold-open parallel arm with compression stop, which combines both functions and is for 351 and 281 closers. Sargent lists it as Grade 1 heavy duty.
7) What is the LCN equivalent of the Falcon SC70A-3049/PA hold open arm?
The LCN 1250-3049/PA hold open arm assembly with parallel arm shoe is the closest match. Like the Falcon SC70A-3049/PA, it is a non-handed hold open arm supplied with a parallel arm shoe, and it carries adjustable hold open. The difference that matters when ordering is the closer body it belongs to: the Falcon arm is built for SC70A Series closers, while the LCN 1250-3049/PA is for LCN 1250 Series closers. Arms are not interchangeable between closer bodies, so match the arm to the closer already hanging on the door.
8) I do not need the door to stay open - is there a plainer arm than the SC70A-3049/PA?
Yes. The SC70A-3049/PA is a hold open arm, meaning the forearm is built to catch and hold the door at an open position. If you only need the door to close, a regular arm covers it: the LCN 1260-3077 is a regular arm with parallel arm bracket for 1260 Series closers, and the LCN 4000T-3077T is a standard arm replacement component for 4000T Series closers. Both drop the hold open function entirely. As with any arm, the series has to match the closer body on the door - a 3077 arm will not serve an SC70A closer.
9) The door swings into a corridor and I need the arm to stop it - will the SC70A-3049/PA do that?
No. The SC70A-3049/PA holds the door open at a set point using its adjustable forearm assembly, but it does not include a stop to limit how far the door travels. For an opening that needs the arm itself to arrest the swing, Sargent's compression stop arms are the ones to look at: the 25-CPS is a heavy duty parallel arm with compression stop, and the 25-CPSH pairs that compression stop with hold-open in one arm for 351 and 281 closers. Both carry a Grade 1 heavy duty rating. If the door has a wall or floor stop already, the SC70A-3049/PA hold open arm is the simpler assembly.
10) Is the Sargent 1431-CPS TB EN a substitute for the Falcon SC70A-3049/PA?
They are not the same class of item. The SC70A-3049/PA is an arm assembly - a replacement part that mounts to an SC70A Series closer body already on the door. The Sargent 1431-CPS TB EN is a complete heavy duty surface door closer with parallel arm and compression stop, Grade 1, meaning it includes the closer body itself. Order the Sargent when you are replacing the whole closer; order the SC70A-3049/PA when the closer body is sound and only the arm needs to change.
11) Can I convert an existing SC70A closer from regular arm to parallel arm mounting with this part?
Yes, that is the practical use of the SC70A-3049/PA. Because the PA shoe ships with it, an SC70A closer currently hung on the pull side with a regular arm can be reworked to a parallel arm installation on the push side using this assembly, and you get hold open at the same time. The arm also mounts hinge side or top jamb if the opening calls for it. Note this changes the closer body's mounting position on the door, so plan for new fastener holes.
12) I have a hold open arm on a top jamb mounted closer - does the SC70A-3049/PA cover that, or do I need a different arm?
The SC70A-3049/PA installs hinge side, top jamb, or parallel arm, so a top jamb application is within its range provided the closer is an SC70A Series body. On the Sargent side of the shop, the comparable is the 25-H hold-open arm for 351 and 281 closers, which is offered for standard and top jamb mount. The mounting position is not what separates them - the closer family is. Confirm the closer body first, then pick the arm that belongs to it.
13) I am standardizing hold open arms across a building with mixed closers - can one part number cover them all?
No single arm will. Hold open arms are tied to the closer family they bolt to: the Falcon SC70A-3049/PA serves SC70A Series closers, the LCN 1250-3049/PA serves 1250 Series, the LCN 4010-3049 serves 4020 Series, and the Sargent 25-H and 25-CPSH serve 351 and 281 closers. What you can standardize is the function and finish. The SC70A-3049/PA is non-handed, so one part number covers both hands of every SC70A opening in the building, and it comes in 689 aluminum, 696 brass, 695 dark bronze, and 622 matte black to match the rest of the hardware. Inventory by closer family, then hold one arm per family.
14) Does the SC70A-3049/PA carry a Grade 1 rating like the Sargent arms?
The Sargent arms and closers in the same class - the 25-CPS, 25-CPSH, 25-H, and 1431-CPS TB EN - are published as Grade 1 heavy duty. The Falcon SC70A-3049/PA is specified as a commercial replacement part for SC70A Series closers, and its rating follows the closer it is fitted to rather than standing on its own. If a submittal calls for a Grade 1 arm by name, the Sargent heavy duty arms answer that line directly; if the SC70A closer on the door is already approved, the SC70A-3049/PA is the arm that belongs to it.
15) Is the Falcon SC70A-3049/PA arm rated for commercial traffic, or is it a residential part?
Commercial. Falcon lists the SC70A-3049/PA as a commercial door hardware part, and it is the kind of arm that goes on office corridors, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential and municipal buildings. It is sold as a replacement part, so it is the right item when an existing SC70A closer arm is bent, seized, or missing rather than when you are buying a complete closer.
