Falcon SCR85RW/PA IVORY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the PA bracket on the Falcon SCR85RW/PA actually do, and do I have to buy it separately?
The parallel arm bracket ships with it. The SCR85RW/PA comes as a regular arm with a parallel arm mounting bracket, which lets you mount the closer on the push side of the door with the arm running parallel to the door face instead of projecting out into the opening. That's the mount you want when the closer would otherwise sit on the pull side in a corridor or where the arm would be exposed to abuse. Nothing extra to order for that bracket.
2) What medium duty commercial door closer should I use instead of the Falcon SCR85RW/PA on a higher traffic opening?
The Falcon SCR85RW/PA is a medium duty closer built for residential door weights and usage. For a commercial opening at the same duty level, the BEST HD7000 Series is a medium duty Grade 1 surface mounted closer with adjustable spring power and backcheck control, and the Sargent 1131 is a medium duty Grade 1 adjustable surface closer intended for medium-traffic commercial applications. Both carry a Grade 1 rating, which the residential Falcon is not built to.
3) I need a closer that holds the door open - the Falcon SCR85RW/PA has a regular arm. What holds open instead?
The Falcon SCR85RW/PA is supplied with a regular arm and parallel arm mounting bracket, which is a non-hold-open configuration. For a hold open arm, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958HO/PA is a hold open door closer with a parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Accentra 51 Series is an industrial closer with a tri-packed hold open arm in spring sizes 1-6. The Stanley Security A45-501HL is a long hold open arm closer set up for top jamb mounting.
4) What is the closest equivalent to the Falcon SCR85RW/PA regular arm door closer with a parallel arm bracket?
The Orca Hardware BHDC1958RA/PA is the nearest match in configuration - it is a door closer with a regular arm and parallel bracket, the same arm-plus-bracket package the Falcon SCR85RW/PA carries, and it is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both are surface mounted closers that give you regular arm mounting with the parallel bracket in the box, so the arm you need on the opening does not have to be ordered separately.
5) What ADA barrier free door closer works where the Falcon SCR85RW/PA does not meet the accessibility spec?
For an opening that has to meet an accessibility requirement, the Cal-Royal 500S is a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check and the Cal-Royal N900PBF is a Grade 1 hydraulic barrier free surface closer. The Calibre CA4001 is a Grade 1 hydraulic closer with adjustable spring tension for ADA, the Calibre CA9901 is a Grade 1 tri-pack arm closer in sizes 2-5 for ADA, and the LCN 1250 is a light duty ADA compliant closer in sizes 1-5 with all-weather fluid.
6) I need delayed action on an apartment entry door - the Falcon SCR85RW/PA does not have it. What does?
The Orca Hardware BHDC1958DA/PA is a delayed action closer with a regular arm and parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Orca BHDC2011DA/PA is a delayed action closer in the same regular arm with parallel bracket arrangement for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both use the same arm-and-bracket setup as the Falcon SCR85RW/PA, so the mounting approach on the door is unchanged.
7) Which standard arm surface mount closer matches the Falcon SC81 pattern?
The Calibre CA5501 is a standard arm surface mount door closer built to the SC81 pattern, Grade 1 in the CA5500 Series. The Falcon SCR85RW/PA is in the SC80A Series with a regular arm, so the CA5501 is the closest arm-for-arm counterpart when you are replacing an SC81-pattern closer on an existing opening.
8) Do I need to mortise the door to install the Falcon SCR85RW closer?
No mortising. The SCR85RW is a surface mounted closer, so it screws to the face of the door and the frame with no routing of the door edge. You do drill mounting holes from the manufacturer's template, but the door itself stays intact, which is what makes it a practical retrofit on an existing residential door.
9) Can I adjust the closing speed on the Falcon SCR85RW closer after it's installed?
Yes, closing speed and latching action are both field adjustable on the SCR85RW. That's the pair of valves you'll use to slow the swing through most of the arc and then let it pick up at the last few inches so the latch actually catches. Adjust it after the door is hung and the weatherstrip is in place, since both change how much force the door needs.
10) What's the difference between a regular arm closer like the Falcon SCR85RW and a tri-pack closer?
The SCR85RW/PA ships set up for two of the three mounts: regular arm plus the parallel arm bracket. A tri-pack closer includes the hardware for all three positions, regular (pull side), parallel (push side), and top jamb (frame face), so one box covers whatever the opening turns out to need. If you're buying for a fleet of doors with mixed hands and stops, a tri-pack such as the Arrow DCN314 or the Dexter DCH4000 Series saves you sorting parts on site. For a known single opening, the Falcon covers it.
11) I have a multi-family building and want one closer across all the unit doors. Is the Falcon SCR85RW/PA a reasonable standard?
It works as a standard for unit entry and interior doors in multi-family housing, townhomes, and condos, which is exactly the application range it's built for. Pick one of the two finishes, Dark Bronze or Ivory, and stay on it so the doors match as units turn over. Where a corridor door needs to hold open or a stairwell door needs a Grade 1 commercial closer, that opening comes off the standard and gets a heavier unit.
12) Which door closer covers regular, parallel and top jamb mounting when I do not know yet how the opening will be built?
The Falcon SCR85RW/PA comes set up for regular arm mounting with the parallel arm bracket. If the mounting position is still open, a tri-mount closer covers all three positions from one carton: the Dexter DCH1000 Series is a Grade 1 surface closer for regular, parallel or top jamb mounting with a full cover, the Dexter DCM1000 Series is the same tri-mount arrangement, and the Norton Rixson 1601P is a medium duty Grade 1 tri-mount closer with 180 degree swing.
13) Is the Arrow DCN500DP drop plate a substitute for the Falcon SCR85RW/PA?
No. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate for the DCN500 - a mounting plate only, not a closer. The Falcon SCR85RW/PA is a surface mounted door closer supplied with a regular arm and parallel arm mounting bracket. If what you need is the hydraulic closer body, the drop plate will not do the job; it is bracketry for a different closer.
14) Which closer is the light duty alternative to the medium duty Falcon SCR85RW/PA?
The Falcon SCR85RW/PA is a medium duty closer. Stepping down, the Arrow DCN314 is a light duty Grade 1 surface closer with a regular/parallel arm tri-pack in adjustable spring sizes 1-4, the Arrow DCN325 is the same light duty arrangement in sizes 1-6, and the BEST SL6000 Series is a light duty Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring sizes. The Arrow DCN314 and DCN325 ship less cover.
15) Which door closer has a slide track arm rather than the regular arm on the Falcon SCR85RW/PA?
The Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a Grade 1 surface closer supplied with a slide track arm as standard for pull side mounting on 1-3/4 inch doors. Where a projecting arm will not clear, that track arm is the alternative to the regular arm the Falcon SCR85RW/PA carries. The Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty jamb track closer for frame face, pull side mounting in adjustable sizes 1-6.
16) What Grade 1 regular arm surface closer can I standardize on across a building instead of the Falcon SCR85RW/PA?
For a Grade 1 regular arm surface closer, the Corbin Russwin DC3200 is a Grade 1 closer with a regular arm in surface mounting for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Corbin Russwin DC6200 and DC8200 are Grade 1 surface closers with a double lever regular arm for pull side mounting, both listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Falcon SCR85RW/PA is a residential closer, so a facility standard written to Grade 1 will point to one of these instead.
17) What door closer covers a wider spring size range than the Falcon SCR85RW/PA for doors of different widths?
The Accentra 2701 Series is an architectural closer with tri-pack mounting and adjustable spring sizes 1-6, the Norton Rixson 8501A is a medium duty Grade 1 tri-mount closer with an adjustable size 1-6 spring, and the LCN 1450 is a medium duty closer with spring sizes 1-6 in cast aluminum. The Imperial USA TC4300 is a Grade 1 heavy duty ADA closer in sizes 1-6. A single adjustable-size model lets one part number cover openings of different widths across a property.
18) What parallel arm only door closer works where a regular arm will not fit the opening?
The Calibre CA8001P is a parallel arm size 1 ADA surface mount closer in the Grade 1 CA8000 Series. The Falcon SCR85RW/PA is a regular arm closer that ships with a parallel arm mounting bracket, so it can be set up parallel; where you want a purpose-built parallel arm unit, the CA8001P is the dedicated option.
19) What is a Grade 2 door closer option compared to the Falcon SCR85RW/PA?
The Cal-Royal 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic door closer. It sits between the residential Falcon SCR85RW/PA and the Grade 1 commercial units such as the Cal-Royal 700S, a Grade 1 dual valve sized closer with an adjustable tube arm. If your spec calls out a grade at all, the Falcon residential closer is not the one to quote against it.
20) What finishes does the Falcon SCR85RW/PA residential door closer come in?
Two: Dark Bronze and Ivory. Both are supplied with the same RWPA regular arm and parallel bracket package, so the arm configuration doesn't change with the color. Dark Bronze is the one that disappears against a stained or bronze-trimmed entry door; Ivory suits painted white or light interior frames in apartment and multi-family work.
21) Are the Stanley 327 and 341 wardrobe pivots an alternative to the Falcon SCR85RW/PA closer?
No. The Stanley Security 327 is a heavy wardrobe pivot for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors up to 150 lbs, and the Stanley 341 is a wardrobe pivot for flush recessed or overlay doors 1-1/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch. Pivots hang and swing the door; they do not close it. The Falcon SCR85RW/PA is a surface mounted hydraulic door closer with field-adjustable closing speed and latching action.
22) What is a cast iron door closer alternative to the aluminum-bodied Falcon medium duty closers?
The LCN 1261 is a surface mounted closer with cast iron construction and adjustable spring sizes 1-5 at light to medium duty, and the Sargent 281 Powerglide is a cast iron surface closer in heavy duty Grade 1 construction. For an aluminum body at similar duty, the Sargent 1331 is a medium duty Grade 1 closer with a universal aluminum body and the LCN 1450 is medium duty cast aluminum.
23) Which door closer comes with a full cover when the Falcon SCR85RW/PA is going on a visible interior door?
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 medium to heavy duty closer supplied with a cover and a tri-packed non-hold open arm. By contrast the Arrow DCN314 and DCN325 are furnished less cover, so on a finished interior opening those two will show the closer body.
