Falcon SC71A Series Heavy-Duty Surface-Mount Door Closer

The Falcon SC71A is a Grade 1 commercial surface-mount door closer built for high-traffic institutional and commercial applications. Its single-piece cast aluminum body houses a 1-1/2" diameter heat-treated forged steel piston and double heat-treated pinion — the same heavy-duty internals specified for schools, hospitals, government buildings, and multi-family properties where a closer is expected to perform for decades, not years. Non-handed design installs on left- or right-swinging doors without modification. Backed by a 10-year manufacturer warranty.

Key Features

  • Single-piece cast aluminum body with 1-1/2" heat-treated forged steel piston and double heat-treated pinion
  • ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 certified — the highest performance grade for commercial door closers
  • Adjustable spring sizes 1–6 with separate general speed, latch speed, and backcheck controls
  • Non-handed (universal) — mounts on left or right swinging doors; common industry hole pattern with self-reaming and tapping screws included
  • UL listed and compliant with UL 10C and UBC 7-2 (1997) fire test standards; UL-approved cover for fire-rated door assemblies
  • ADA and ANSI A117.1 compliant — meets barrier-free accessibility requirements
  • BAA Qualified — eligible for Buy American Act procurement
  • Standard non-handed full plastic cover included; available in 689 Aluminum, 622 Matte Black, 695 Dark Bronze, and 696 Brass

Falcon SC71A RWPA 689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What door sizes and weights does the Falcon SC71A series handle?
The SC71A series is designed for heavy-duty applications on doors up to 48 inches wide and 250 pounds. Verify your specific door dimensions and weight before ordering to ensure proper operation.
2) Is this closer suitable for exterior doors?
Yes, the cast aluminum construction provides excellent weather resistance for exterior applications. The heavy-duty design handles wind loads and frequent use common in commercial exterior doors.
3) How do I determine the correct handing for installation?
Stand on the pull side of the door. If hinges are on your right, order right-hand. If hinges are on your left, order left-hand. The closer mounts on the pull side of the door.
4) What finishes are available for the SC71A series?
Common finishes include aluminum, bronze, and painted options. Check the specific model number for available finishes. Different finishes may affect lead times.
5) What power size classification does this closer provide?
The SC71A series typically provides Size 4-6 power depending on the specific model. This covers most commercial door applications. Verify the exact power rating for your specific model number.
6) Does this closer meet ADA and building code requirements?
The SC71A series includes adjustable closing and latching speeds to help meet ADA requirements. Check local building codes for specific compliance requirements in your area.
7) What mounting template should I use for installation?

8) Are replacement parts available for the SC71A series?
Common replacement parts like arms, shoes, and adjustment screws are typically available. Keep your model number for ordering correct parts. Browse our door hardware section for compatible components.
9) How do I adjust the closing speed on this closer?
The SC71A features separate adjustment valves for sweep and latch speeds. Turn clockwise to slow, counterclockwise to speed up. Make small quarter-turn adjustments and test operation.
10) Can this closer be used with electromagnetic hold-open devices?
Yes, the SC71A series is compatible with magnetic hold-open devices when properly coordinated. Ensure the closer power is adequate to overcome the magnetic force during fire alarm release.

Consider other heavy-duty surface mount closers in our Falcon collection. Compare power ratings, finishes, and features to find the best match for your application.
