Falcon SC70A-3049FA-LH MTBK – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon SC70A-3049FA arm fit any door closer, or only the SC70A?
It's built for Falcon SC70A Series closers only. The SC70A-3049FA is a replacement arm assembly for that series, so it isn't a universal closer arm. If you're working on an LCN body, the equivalent hold-open arms are the LCN 1250-3049/PA for the 1250 Series or the LCN 4010-3049 hold-open arm; on Sargent 351 or 281 closers, the Sargent 25-H hold-open arm is the counterpart.
2) Which side of the door does this Falcon hold-open arm mount on?
Push side, in a parallel arm configuration. The SC70A-3049FA comes with a permanent parallel arm bracket, so it can't be set up as a regular (pull side) or top jamb arm. If the closer body is on the pull side of your opening, this is the wrong arm for it.
3) Does this arm hold the door open, and does it also act as a stop?
Hold-open is built into the parallel arm bracket, so the door stays put where you set it. It is not described as a compression stop arm. If you need the arm itself to stop the door and take the abuse at the bracket, look at a compression stop version such as the Sargent 25-CPSH hold-open parallel arm with compression stop.
4) I need a plain closing arm, not hold-open. Is this the right part?
No. The SC70A-3049FA has a hold-open function, so the door will latch open rather than close every time, which is usually not what you want on a fire door or a stairwell. For a non hold-open parallel arm, look at a regular or standard arm assembly instead, such as the LCN 1260-3077 regular arm with parallel arm bracket or the Sargent 25-CPS parallel arm.
5) I need a hold-open arm but I do not want to specify handing - what are my options?
The Falcon SC70A-3049FA is handed, sold as left-handed or right-handed, so you need to know the door swing before ordering. If you would rather avoid that step and the closer allows it, the LCN 1250-3049/PA hold open arm assembly is a non-handed design with adjustable hold open and includes a parallel arm shoe. It is an LCN 1250 Series part, so it applies only where an LCN 1250 closer is installed.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Falcon SC70A-3049FA hold-open parallel arm if the closer on the door is an LCN?
For an LCN closer, the comparable part is the LCN 1250-3049/PA hold open arm assembly, which comes with a parallel arm shoe and a non-handed design with adjustable hold open. The Falcon SC70A-3049FA is a hold-open forged parallel arm built specifically for Falcon SC70A Series closers, so it is ordered by handing, left-handed or right-handed. Match the arm to the closer body you actually have on the door - arms are not interchangeable between closer series.
7) Is there a hold-open arm for a door where the closer mounts on the pull side or top jamb rather than parallel arm?
The Falcon SC70A-3049FA is a parallel arm assembly and installs on the push side of the door with a permanent parallel arm bracket, so it does not cover regular or top jamb mounting. For a Sargent 351 or 281 closer, the Sargent 25-H is a hold-open arm for standard and top jamb mount applications, rated heavy duty and Grade 1.
8) What finishes does the Falcon SC70A-3049FA hold-open arm come in?
Four: 689 aluminum, 695 dark bronze, 696 brass, and 622 matte black. Each is offered in both left and right hand, so you can match the arm to the closer cover already on the other openings in the building without changing hand.
9) Is a forged arm worth it for an abused door, like a school corridor or a loading area?
That's exactly what it's for. Both the main arm and the forearm are forged steel, which is the extra heavy duty option Falcon offers for high traffic and abusive openings where a cast or stamped arm tends to fail first. Typical use is commercial: offices, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential, and municipal buildings.
10) Is the SC70A-3049FA a complete closer or just the arm?
Just the arm. It's a replacement arm assembly, main arm plus forearm and the parallel arm bracket, for an SC70A closer body you already have on the door. If you need a whole unit, a complete heavy duty parallel arm closer would be something like the Sargent 25-CPS or the Sargent 1431-CPS TB EN.
11) If I am replacing the whole closer instead of just the arm, what parallel arm units are comparable?
The Falcon SC70A-3049FA is a replacement arm only and depends on an existing SC70A Series closer body. If the closer itself is being replaced, the Sargent 1431-CPS TB EN is a heavy duty Grade 1 surface door closer supplied with a parallel arm and compression stop as a complete unit, and the Sargent 25-CPS is a heavy-duty Grade 1 parallel arm with compression stop for 351 and 281 closers.
12) What is the difference between the Falcon SC70A-3049FA and the LCN 1260-3077 arm?
They are different arm types. The SC70A-3049FA is a hold-open forged parallel arm for Falcon SC70A Series closers, with forged steel main arm and forearm for high-traffic and abusive openings. The LCN 1260-3077 is a regular arm with a parallel arm bracket for LCN 1260 Series closers and does not carry a hold-open function. If the opening needs to stand open, the 3077 is not the part.
13) Which arm is the simpler choice when the door does not need to hold open?
The Falcon SC70A-3049FA includes an integrated hold-open in the parallel arm bracket. Where hold-open is not wanted, the LCN 4000T-3077T is a standard arm replacement component for LCN 4000T Series closers, and the LCN 1260-3077 is a regular arm with parallel arm bracket for 1260 Series closers. Choose by the closer series on the door, since none of these arms cross between families.
