LCN 1250-18PA-689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) My door's top rail is too narrow for a parallel arm closer. Will the LCN 1250-18PA plate solve that?
That is exactly what the 1250-18PA is for. It is a parallel arm mounting plate for openings where the top rail measures less than 4 1/2 inches (114mm) from the stop, which is too little room to mount a 1250 closer the standard way. The plate itself needs only 1 3/4 inches (44mm) of top rail depth to mount to. Measure the rail from the stop first: if you have more than 4 1/2 inches, you do not need the plate.
2) Will the 1250-18PA plate work with any door closer, or only LCN 1250 closers?
It is built to LCN specification for the 1250 series closer and that is the closer it should be used with. It is not a universal adapter plate. If your closer is a different LCN series or another brand, the arm and shoe geometry will not line up, so specify the mounting plate made for that closer instead.
3) Do I get a whole door closer when I order the 1250-18PA, or just the bracket?
Just the mounting plate. It is an installation accessory for the 1250 series closer, not a closer assembly, so the closer body and arm are ordered separately. If you are replacing a damaged bracket on an existing 1250 parallel arm installation, the plate on its own is what you want.
4) How do I measure my top rail to know if I need the 1250-18PA?
Two measurements decide it. From the stop, measure across the face of the top rail: if that dimension is under 4 1/2 inches (114mm), standard parallel arm mounting will not fit and the 18PA plate is the fix. Then check the rail depth, the solid material available to fasten into: you need at least 1 3/4 inches (44mm) for the plate to mount and carry the load properly. Under that, the opening will not take this plate.
5) What is the difference between a parallel arm mount and a regular arm mount on a 1250 closer?
Regular arm mounting puts the closer on the pull side of the door with the arm projecting out into the opening. Parallel arm mounting puts the closer on the push side with the arm folded back flat against the door face, which keeps it out of the traffic path and out of reach, so it is the usual choice for corridors, classrooms, and anywhere abuse is a concern. The 1250-18PA is the bracket that makes the parallel arm mount possible when the top rail is too shallow to take the shoe directly, at less than 4 1/2 inches from the stop.
6) Is the LCN 1250-18PA plate ADA compliant for a hospital or school opening?
The 1250-18PA is listed as ADA compliant and is a commercial-duty part, used on office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, retail, industrial buildings, multi-tenant residential, and government work. Keep in mind the plate only positions the closer; the opening force and closing speed that ADA actually governs are set by the closer itself and its adjustment, not by the bracket.
7) What finishes does the LCN 1250-18PA parallel arm plate come in?
Six finishes, so the plate can be matched to the closer body and the rest of the door hardware: 689 aluminum, 690 statuary bronze, 691 light bronze, 693 gloss black, 695 dark bronze, and 696 brass. Property managers standardizing a building typically order the plate in the same finish code already specified on the closers.
