Falcon SC80A-3049DS MTBK – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the dead stop hold-open arm actually do on the door?
Two jobs in one arm. The parallel arm carries a built-in dead stop, so the arm itself stops the door at the set point instead of letting it swing into a wall or adjacent hardware, and it holds the door open at that position until someone pushes it closed. That's the DSHO configuration. It's useful where there's no floor or wall stop available and the opening needs to stand open for traffic or deliveries.
2) I need the door to close on its own with no hold-open. Is this the right arm?
No. The SC80A-3049DS holds the door open at the stop point, which is not what you want on a fire rated opening or anywhere the door must self-close and latch every cycle. For those, use a non-hold-open dead stop arm for the closer series you have. Among comparable parts, the Sargent 25-CPS parallel arm with compression stop is a stop-only arm without the hold-open feature, for Sargent 351 and 281 closers.
3) What is the LCN equivalent of the Falcon SC80A-3049DS hold-open dead stop parallel arm?
The closest LCN counterpart is the LCN 1250-3049/PA hold open arm assembly, which pairs a hold open arm with a parallel arm shoe and uses a non-handed design with adjustable hold open. The Falcon SC80A-3049DS is a hold-open dead stop parallel arm built for Falcon SC81A Series closers, so the LCN part is an arm for LCN 1250 Series closers rather than a drop-in for a Falcon body. Match the arm to the closer brand and series already on the door.
4) What is the difference between the Falcon SC80A-3049DS and the Sargent 25-CPSH arm?
Both provide hold open in a parallel arm mount, but they belong to different closer families and use different stop mechanisms. The Falcon SC80A-3049DS is a hold-open dead stop parallel arm for SC81A Series closers. The Sargent 25-CPSH is a heavy-duty hold-open parallel arm with a compression stop for Sargent 351 and 281 closers, rated Grade 1. A compression stop cushions the door at the stop point, while the Falcon arm uses a dead stop. Pick by the closer brand on the door first.
5) My door is top jamb mounted, not parallel arm - can I use the SC80A-3049DS?
No. The Falcon SC80A-3049DS is a parallel arm configuration, which mounts the arm on the push side with the closer on the door. For a hold-open arm in a standard or top jamb mount, the Sargent 25-H is a hold-open arm for Sargent 351 and 281 closers in standard and top jamb mount, Grade 1 heavy duty. Mounting style has to match the prep already in the frame and door.
6) What is the difference between a parallel arm and a regular arm on a door closer?
Mounting side and appearance. A parallel arm mounts the closer on the pull side of the door with the arm running flat along the face, which keeps the arm tucked up under the frame and out of the way, and it's the usual choice in corridors and high traffic where a projecting arm gets hit. A regular arm mounts on the push side and projects out from the frame. The SC80A-3049DS is the parallel arm type, so it only suits a pull-side installation. If the closer on the door is set up for push-side regular arm mounting, a regular arm assembly is what you need instead, like the LCN 4000T-3077T standard arm for LCN 4000T closers.
7) What finishes does the Falcon SC80A-3049DS parallel arm come in?
Four: 689 aluminum, 695 dark bronze, 696 brass, and 622 matte black. If you're replacing an arm on one door in a building where the rest of the openings already run a standard finish, match the closer cover you already have; 689 aluminum is the common commercial default and 622 matte black tends to be the one specified on newer storefront and office work.
8) Should I replace just the closer arm or the whole door closer?
If the closer body still controls the sweep and latch properly and isn't leaking oil, replacing the arm is the cheaper fix, and the SC80A-3049DS is the factory replacement arm for an SC81A closer. If the body is weeping fluid, the valves no longer adjust, or the spring has gone soft, the arm won't fix any of that and you want a complete closer, such as the Sargent 1431-CPS TB EN Grade 1 heavy duty surface closer with parallel arm and compression stop for a full replacement on a comparable opening.
9) Do I need a separate wall stop or floor stop if I use this arm?
Not for stopping the door. The dead stop is built into the arm, so it arrests the swing at the set point on its own. That's the main reason to spec a dead stop arm: openings where a wall stop can't be mounted, or where a floor stop would be a trip hazard or interfere with cleaning. Do note the dead stop transfers the impact load into the door and frame, so the door top rail and the frame reinforcement need to be sound.
10) The closer body itself is worn out, not just the arm - what should I order instead of the SC80A-3049DS?
The Falcon SC80A-3049DS is a replacement arm only, intended to restore an existing SC81A Series closer. If the body is failing, order a complete closer: the Sargent 1431-CPS TB EN is a heavy duty Grade 1 surface door closer supplied with a parallel arm and compression stop, so it covers both the body and the arm in one part.
11) Is this arm rated for high traffic commercial doors?
Yes, the SC80A-3049DS is a commercial-grade part, not a residential one, and it's used on office buildings, schools, hospitals, retail, warehouses, apartment buildings, and municipal facilities. It carries a dead stop, which on a high traffic opening is the feature that saves the closer and the wall when someone throws the door open.
12) Do I need to worry about handing when choosing between the Falcon SC80A-3049DS and the LCN 1250-3049/PA?
The LCN 1250-3049/PA is described as a non-handed design, so one part covers left and right hand openings in the 1250 Series. The Falcon SC80A-3049DS is a parallel arm for SC81A Series closers supplied in 689 aluminum, 696 brass, 695 dark bronze and 622 matte black, so the selection decision there is finish plus the closer series it is going on.
