Falcon SC80A-3049/PA AL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a PA bracket on a door closer arm, and do I need one?
PA stands for parallel arm. The bracket shipped with the SC80A-3049/PA lets the arm mount on the pull side of the frame with the closer body on the door, which is the parallel arm setup used when you want the closer tucked up under the frame soffit and out of the way. If your existing Falcon SC81A is mounted regular arm (closer body on the pull side, arm reaching to the frame face), you are not using a PA bracket and this assembly is not the arm you are matching.
2) Does this Falcon arm hold the door open, or do I still need a separate door stop?
Hold open is built into the arm. The SC80A-3049/PA keeps the door standing at a set position and releases to close normally when the door is pushed past that point, so it does the job of a stop-and-hold at the closer instead of at the floor or the wall. That is what makes it the right part for a door that has to stay open for deliveries or moving carts and then self-close the rest of the day.
3) What is the LCN equivalent of the Falcon SC80A-3049/PA hold open arm with PA bracket?
The closest LCN counterpart is the LCN 1250-3049/PA Hold Open Arm Assembly with Parallel Arm Shoe, a non-handed hold open arm with adjustable hold open in the LCN 1250 Series. Both are hold open arm assemblies supplied with a parallel arm bracket or shoe, so the geometry of the application is the same: the arm mounts on the push side of the door with the closer body on the door face. The difference that decides the order is the closer they attach to. The Falcon SC80A arm is built for Falcon SC81A Series closers, and the LCN 1250-3049/PA is a 1250 Series part. Door closer arms are not interchangeable across manufacturers or across series within a manufacturer, so identify the closer body already on the door before choosing between them.
4) I do not need the door to stay open. What do I use instead of a hold open arm?
Use a standard or regular arm instead. 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 the 4000T Series. Either gives you the same parallel arm or standard arm mounting without the hold open detent, so the door closes every cycle with no position where it stays put. That matters on openings where a hold open is not wanted or not permitted, such as fire rated doors that must remain self closing. The Falcon SC80A arm is the hold open version, which lets the door remain open at a designated angle and close automatically when released. Match the arm to the closer body: a 1260 arm goes on a 1260 closer, a 4000T arm on a 4000T closer.
5) Is the LCN 4010-3049 the same thing as the Falcon SC80A-3049/PA arm?
They are both hold open arms, but they are not the same part and one does not replace the other. The LCN 4010-3049 is a hold open arm for door closers with an adjustable elbow function, catalogued in the 4020 Series. The Falcon SC80A is a hold open arm supplied with a PA bracket for SC81A Series closers. The suffix 3049 appearing on both is an arm designation within each manufacturer's own numbering, not a cross-brand interchange number, so it does not mean the two arms fit the same closer. The other distinction to watch is the bracket: the Falcon SC80A ships with the PA bracket for parallel arm mounting, while the LCN 4010-3049 is described as the arm with adjustable elbow. If you are ordering for a parallel arm application, confirm the bracket comes with the arm rather than assuming it.
6) The door is slamming into a wall. Which arm stops the door instead of just holding it open?
That calls for an arm with a built-in stop rather than a hold open. The Sargent 25-CPS is a heavy duty parallel arm door closer with compression stop for 351 and 281 closers, Grade 1, and the Sargent 1431-CPS TB EN is a heavy duty Grade 1 surface door closer with parallel arm and compression stop. The compression stop takes the impact in the arm assembly so the door does not swing past its intended opening angle. Hold open and stop are different jobs. The Falcon SC80A hold open arm keeps the door at a designated angle until it is released, which does not protect the opening from a door thrown open hard. The Sargent 25-CPSH combines both, giving hold open and compression stop in one heavy duty Grade 1 parallel arm. All of these are Sargent parts for Sargent closer bodies, so on a Falcon SC81A opening you would be replacing the closer, not just the arm.
7) What finishes does the Falcon SC80A hold open arm come in?
Four finishes: 689 aluminum, 695 dark bronze, 696 brass, and 622 matte black. If you are replacing one arm on a run of openings, 689 aluminum and 695 dark bronze are the two that most commonly match existing commercial closers, and 622 matte black is the one to pick when the rest of the storefront or office hardware has been switched to black.
8) Should I order a hold open arm or a regular arm for my door closer?
Pick the hold open arm when the opening genuinely needs to stand open, a loading corridor, a classroom during passing periods, a unit door during a turn. Pick a plain regular arm anywhere the door must self-close every time, which includes any fire rated opening, where a hold open feature is not permitted. A standard non-hold-open replacement in the same family of parts is the LCN 1260-3077 regular arm with parallel arm bracket or the LCN 4000T-3077T standard arm.
9) I want a stop built into the arm so the door cannot swing into the wall. Does this arm do that?
The SC80A-3049/PA gives you hold open, which parks the door at a position, but it is not described as a compression stop arm. When the requirement is a hard stop in the arm to protect the wall or the door edge, look at a dead-stop parallel arm instead: the Sargent 25-CPS parallel arm with compression stop, or the Sargent 25-CPSH if you want compression stop and hold open together on 351 or 281 closers.
10) What is the Sargent hold open parallel arm for 351 and 281 closers?
Sargent offers two hold open arms in that family. The Sargent 25-H is a hold open door closer arm for 351 and 281 closers in standard and top jamb mount, rated heavy duty and Grade 1. The Sargent 25-CPSH is a heavy duty hold open parallel arm with compression stop for 351 and 281 closers, also Grade 1. Choose the 25-H when the closer is mounted on the pull side or on the frame at the head, and the 25-CPSH when the closer is on the push side in parallel arm and you want the arm itself to stop the door. Neither fits a Falcon SC81A Series closer, which takes the Falcon SC80A hold open arm with PA bracket. Sargent arms go on Sargent closer bodies.
11) I am standardizing hold open hardware across a building. Which of these arms carry a Grade 1 rating?
Among the comparable arms, the Sargent parts carry published ratings: the 25-H hold open arm for 351 and 281 closers, the 25-CPSH hold open parallel arm with compression stop, and the 25-CPS parallel arm with compression stop are each heavy duty and Grade 1, as is the Sargent 1431-CPS TB EN surface closer with parallel arm and compression stop. If your specification calls for Grade 1 door control on every opening in the facility, those give you a single manufacturer family covering hold open, stop, and hold open with stop. The Falcon SC80A is a commercial-grade hold open arm for SC81A Series closers and comes in 689 aluminum, 696 brass, 695 dark bronze, and 622 matte black, which is the wider finish range if visual consistency across corridors is what you are matching.
12) Is the Falcon SC80A arm rated for commercial traffic, or is it a light residential part?
Commercial. The SC80A-3049/PA is a commercial door hardware component intended for the openings a facility runs hard, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, government buildings, and multi-tenant residential corridors. For a property manager standardizing across a building, it is the arm to spec when the closers on those doors are Falcon SC81A.
13) Can a maintenance tech swap this hold open arm, or does it need a door hardware specialist?
Swapping the arm is in reach for an in-house maintenance tech who has done closer work, but the arm has to be re-set to the closer after it goes on, and the hold open position and closing speed need adjusting at the valves on the closer body. Follow the SC81A closer's own installation instructions for the arm preload and adjustment sequence. If nobody on staff has adjusted a closer before, put it on the locksmith's list rather than guessing at the valves.
