Falcon SC93A-RWPA-DKB – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Falcon SC93A door closer work on an exterior entrance door?
No. The SC93A is a light duty closer, Grade 3 under ANSI/BHMA A156.4, and it is built for interior commercial and light residential openings. High traffic exterior entrances need a Grade 1 heavy duty closer. From what ZenSupply carries, the BEST EHD9000 Series or the Sargent 1431 Powerglide are the heavy duty Grade 1 options; the LCN 1450 sits in the middle at medium duty.
2) Is the Falcon SC93A closer ADA compliant for barrier-free openings?
No. The SC93A is not ADA compliant, so it should not be specified where an accessible opening force is required. If the door has to meet a barrier-free requirement, ZenSupply carries the Cal-Royal 500S and the N900PBF 900 Series barrier free closers, and the LCN 1250 is listed as ADA compliant.
3) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand Falcon SC93A?
Neither. The SC93A is non-handed, so the same closer goes on a left or right swinging door. That is what makes it easy to stock one unit across a building with mixed swings.
4) Can the Falcon SC93A be parallel arm mounted, or only on the hinge side?
All three mountings are available: hinge (pull) side, top jamb, and parallel arm. Parallel arm mounting requires the RW/PA arm to be specified. Both arm choices offered, RWPA regular arm and HWPA hold open arm, come with the parallel arm mounting bracket, so either one covers a push-side parallel install.
5) What do I have to specify when ordering a Falcon SC93A closer?
Three choices. Arm: RWPA regular arm with parallel arm bracket, or HWPA hold open arm with parallel arm bracket. Finish: 689 aluminum or 695 dark bronze. And cover: standard cover or less cover. Cover is a required selection, so an order that skips it will not process. Pick HWPA only where you actually want the door to stand open on its own, since a hold open arm on a fire door is not permitted.
6) Can I use a Falcon SC93A on a labeled fire door?
Yes for the closer itself, with one condition. The SC93A is UL listed and complies with UL 10C and UBC 7-2 (1997) fire test standards. Order the RWPA regular arm version for a fire rated opening; the HWPA hold open arm defeats the self-closing requirement a labeled door has to meet.
7) What is the closest light-duty surface closer to the Falcon SC93A if I need an ADA-compliant closer instead?
The Falcon SC93A is a light-duty surface-mounted closer that is not ADA compliant, so on an opening where an accessible opening force is required, look at the LCN 1250 Series surface-mounted light-duty closer, which is ADA compliant and covers spring sizes 1 through 5. The Cal-Royal 500S is another route, a Grade 1 barrier-free closer with adjustable back-check. Both are surface-mounted like the SC93A, so the door and frame face preparation stays in the same family.
8) The Falcon SC93A is Grade 3. What light-duty closer carries a Grade 1 rating for a spec that requires it?
The Falcon SC93A carries ANSI/BHMA Grade 3 certification at a light duty level. When a submittal calls for Grade 1 but the opening is still light duty, the BEST SL6000 Series is Grade 1 and light duty with adjustable spring sizes, the Arrow DC314 in the DC300 Series is Grade 1 and light duty, and the Norton Rixson 160 Series is a Grade 1 light commercial closer with an adjustable spring. All three are surface mounted, so they land on the same door and frame as the SC93A.
9) What should I use instead of the Falcon SC93A on a heavy-traffic exterior or high-abuse door?
The Falcon SC93A is built for light duty commercial openings, so a high-cycle entrance or an abused corridor door is a different closer. The BEST EHD9000 Series is extra heavy duty and Grade 1 with adjustable spring sizes 1 through 6, the Sargent 1431 Powerglide is a Grade 1 heavy-duty surface closer with adjustable spring power, and the LCN 1460T is a Grade 1 heavy-duty surface closer in a powder coat finish. Each stays surface mounted, so the mounting approach carries over from the SC93A.
10) The Falcon SC93A comes with regular or hold open arms. What closer should I order if I need delayed action?
The Falcon SC93A is ordered with either an RWPA regular arm with parallel arm mounting bracket or an HWPA hold open arm with parallel arm mounting bracket. If the opening calls for delayed action so the door stays open longer before it starts to close, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958DA/PA is a delayed action closer with a regular arm and parallel bracket, and the Orca BHDC2011DA/PA is the same delayed action arrangement in the BHDC2011 Series. Both fit doors 1-3/4 inch thick.
11) I need a closer with a concealed or slide track arm rather than the Falcon SC93A exposed arm. What are my options?
The Falcon SC93A is supplied with a surface arm, either the regular RWPA or the hold open HWPA, both using a parallel arm mounting bracket. For a track-style arm where a projecting arm is not wanted, the Corbin Russwin DC5230 Series is a Grade 1 surface closer with a slide track arm standard for pull side mounting on 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 jamb track closer for frame face pull side mounting, adjustable size 1 through 6.
12) Can I use the Falcon SC93A on an aluminum storefront door, or is there a better closer for that opening?
The Falcon SC93A is a light-duty commercial surface closer intended for interior openings such as offices, multi-family corridors, and retail interior access points. An aluminum storefront entrance is a different application: the Norton Rixson 1600 Series aluminum storefront closer is Grade 1 and heavy duty with tri-style mounting and is built for that door. For a narrow-stile aluminum door needing a Grade 1 barrier-free closer, the Cal-Royal N900PBF in the 900 Series is a surface hydraulic option.
13) Is the Falcon SC93A Buy American Act qualified for a government job?
Yes, the SC93A is BAA qualified, which matters on federally funded work where procurement has to show domestic sourcing compliance.
14) Can I adjust how fast the door closes and how hard it latches on the Falcon SC93A?
Yes. The SC93A has separate adjustable general speed and latch speed valves, plus adjustable backcheck to stop the door slamming into a wall when someone throws it open. Sweep and latch are tuned independently, so you can slow the swing without losing the push it needs to latch.
15) I have a fleet of apartment corridor and unit doors to close. Is the SC93A the right closer to standardize on?
For interior openings, yes. The SC93A is a commercial-rated light duty closer and it is non-handed, so one part number covers every swing in the building and there is no left/right stocking to manage. Two finishes, 689 aluminum and 695 dark bronze, let it match existing trim. Where an opening has to be accessible or sees exterior traffic, step up to a different closer, since this one is not ADA compliant and is Grade 3.
16) The Falcon SC93A is cast aluminum. What surface closer should I look at if I want a cast iron body?
The Falcon SC93A uses a single-piece cast aluminum body with heat-treated steel pistons and pinions, and its substrate is aluminum. Where a cast iron body is preferred, the LCN 1261 is a surface-mounted closer with cast iron construction and adjustable spring sizes 1 through 5 in a light to medium duty range, and the Sargent 281 Powerglide is a cast iron surface closer, Grade 1 and heavy duty. If cast aluminum is what you want but in a heavier rating, the LCN 1450 is a medium-duty cast aluminum closer with spring sizes 1 through 6.
17) Is there a middle option between the Falcon SC93A and a heavy-duty closer for a moderately busy interior door?
For traffic above a light-duty interior door but short of an entrance, the medium-duty Grade 1 closers are the step up from the light-duty Falcon SC93A. The BEST HD7000 Series is medium duty and Grade 1 with adjustable spring power and backcheck control, the Sargent 1331 is a Grade 1 medium-duty surface closer with a universal aluminum body, and the Norton Rixson 8501A is a Grade 1 medium-duty tri-mount surface closer with an adjustable size 1 through 6 spring. The SC93A itself offers adjustable general and latch speed and adjustable backcheck within its light-duty range.
18) Does the Falcon SC93A ship with a tri-pack arm, or do I need a different closer to cover regular, top jamb, and parallel mounting from one box?
The Falcon SC93A supports hinge side, top jamb, or parallel arm mounting, with parallel arm mounting when the RW/PA arm is specified, and the arm is chosen when you order as either RWPA or HWPA with a parallel arm mounting bracket. If you want a single tri-pack carton that carries all three mounting configurations, the Arrow DCN314 is a Grade 1 tri-pack regular and parallel arm closer with adjustable spring size 1 through 4, the Dexter DCH4000 Series is a Grade 1 tri-mount closer for regular, parallel, or top jamb mounting, and the Accentra 1101BF is an industrial closer with tri-pack mounting and adjustable spring sizes 1 through 4.
19) Does the Falcon SC93A hold the door open, and what else offers a hold open arm?
The Falcon SC93A can be ordered with the HWPA hold open arm and parallel arm mounting bracket, or with the RWPA regular arm if hold open is not wanted. Other hold open closers include the Accentra 51 Series, which is a tri-packed hold open arm closer in sizes 1 through 6, the Orca BHDC1958HO/PA with a tri-packed hold open arm and parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Stanley Security A45-501HL, which has a long hold open arm as standard for top jamb mounting.
20) The Falcon SC93A is offered with or without a cover. What comparable closers come less cover or with a full cover?
The Falcon SC93A is ordered with a required cover selection of either Less Cover or Standard Cover, in 689 aluminum or 695 dark bronze. Among comparables, the Arrow DCN314 and DCN325 are supplied less cover, the DCN325 covering adjustable spring size 1 through 6 and the DCN314 size 1 through 4. On the other side, the Dexter DCH1000 Series is a Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer supplied with a full cover, and the Design Hardware 316 Series is a tri-packed non-hold open closer supplied with a cover.
21) Is the Arrow DCN500DP drop plate a substitute for the Falcon SC93A?
No. The Falcon SC93A is a complete surface-mounted door closer with a cast aluminum body, arm, and mounting hardware. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate for the DCN500, which is a mounting accessory that positions a closer body on the frame, not a closer itself. Likewise, the Stanley Security 327 and 341 are wardrobe pivots for hanging doors and the Stanley 57-0100 is a box of steel machine screws for architectural hinges. None of those control the door; if you are replacing an SC93A you need a closer, not one of those parts.
22) How do I match the Falcon SC93A across a building where some doors are heavier than others?
Standardizing a facility usually means keeping one surface-mounted, non-handed closer family on the light interior doors and stepping up where traffic demands it. The Falcon SC93A is non-handed and light duty, which covers interior office, multi-family, educational, healthcare, and retail interior doors. For the heavier openings in the same building, the BEST HD7000 Series is medium duty Grade 1 and the BEST HD8000 Series is heavy duty Grade 1, so the duty step is within one series naming. On the Sargent side the 1131 is medium duty Grade 1 and the 1431 Powerglide is heavy duty Grade 1.
23) Should I order the Falcon SC93A with or without the cover?
Cover is a required choice on every SC93A order. Take the standard cover where the closer is visible in a lobby, corridor, or tenant space and you want the body hidden. Less cover is the utility option for back-of-house, mechanical, and stair doors where nobody is looking at it, and it also leaves the adjustment valves exposed for maintenance access. Either way the finish choice, 689 aluminum or 695 dark bronze, still applies to the unit.
24) What differentiates the Falcon SC93A from the Cal-Royal 400 and Calibre CA5501?
The Falcon SC93A is a Grade 3 light-duty, non-handed surface closer with a single-piece cast aluminum body and separate adjustable general and latch speed controls. The Cal-Royal 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic door closer, so it sits at a different ANSI/BHMA grade. The Calibre CA5501 in the CA5500 Series is a Grade 1 standard arm surface mount closer. All three surface mount, so the difference to confirm on a submittal is the grade and the arm supplied.
25) Which comparable closers cover a wider adjustable spring size range than a light-duty closer like the Falcon SC93A?
The Falcon SC93A is a light-duty closer with adjustable general and latch speed and adjustable backcheck. When one closer needs to cover a broad range of door widths and weights on a mixed project, the Accentra 2701 Series offers adjustable spring sizes 1 through 6 with tri-pack mounting, the Imperial USA TC4300 Series is a Grade 1 heavy-duty size 1 through 6 ADA closer, the Calibre CA9901 is a Grade 1 tri-pack arm closer in size 2 through 5, and the Arrow DCN325 covers adjustable spring size 1 through 6.
