LCN 1250 Series Surface-Mounted Door Closer

The LCN 1250 is a surface-mounted, light-duty door closer with a cast aluminum cylinder, 1-3/8" diameter piston, and heat-treated steel pinion journal. Closer spring sizes 1-5 are field-adjustable. The non-handed body accepts a peel-n-stick installation template and uses an industry-standard 3/4" x 9-1/16" hole pattern, making it a direct replacement in most retrofit applications. All-weather fluid maintains consistent sweep and latch speed across temperature extremes. ADA compliant and BAA qualified.

    LCN 1250-RWPA-693 – Frequently Asked Questions

    1) Will an LCN 1250 closer bolt up to the holes left by the closer I'm taking off?
    Usually, yes. The 1250 body is drilled to the industry-standard 3/4" x 9-1/16" hole pattern, which is what most surface closers on commercial doors were templated to, so it drops onto the existing holes in the majority of retrofits. The body is also non-handed, so the same closer goes on a left or right hand door with no parts to swap, and it takes a peel-n-stick template if you do end up drilling fresh. Where you can run into trouble is the arm rather than the body: check that the mounting position you're replacing (pull side hinge, top jamb, or parallel arm) matches the arm you order.
    2) Can the LCN 1250 door closer be mounted on the push side of the door?
    Both sides work. Three mounting positions are covered: surface hinge mount on the pull side, top jamb mount on the push side, and parallel arm mount on the push side. Ordered plain, the 1250 comes with the regular arm and a parallel arm mounting bracket, which is what lets one closer cover regular pull side hanging or parallel arm push side hanging without buying a second arm. Parallel arm is the usual choice when you want the closer tucked flat against the door face on the push side, and it's the mount the Cush-n-Stop and extra duty arms are built around.
    3) What spring size do I order for an LCN 1250, and can it be adjusted after it's on the door?
    One part number covers the range. Spring sizes 1 through 5 are field-adjustable on the closer itself, so you set the power at the door instead of picking a fixed size at the order form. That matters two ways on a commercial job: a wider or heavier door gets dialed up, and an opening that has to meet reduced opening force gets dialed down. The 1250 is ADA compliant. Size 5 is the ceiling on this closer, so a very wide or heavy exterior leaf may need something with more spring.
    4) Do I have to specify handing when I order an LCN 1250?
    Only for one arm. The 1250 body is non-handed, so the closer itself doesn't care which way the door swings. The hold open extra duty arm is the exception, ordered as HEDA-LH for left hand or HEDA-RH for right hand. Every other arm choice, including RWPA, LONG, HLONG, HWPA, EDA, CUSH, HCUSH and SHCUSH, is listed without a hand. If you're stocking closers for a building and don't want to track handing, stay off the HEDA arms.
    5) The door swings back into a wall. Do I need a separate overhead stop with the LCN 1250?
    Not if you order a Cush-n-Stop arm. Three of the arm options build the stop into the arm shoe: CUSH, HCUSH (hold open), and SHCUSH (spring hold open). Those go on the push side with parallel arm mounting, and the shoe stops the door at the opening angle instead of letting the leaf or the lever hit the wall. That's the arm to specify on classroom and corridor doors that get thrown open. If the opening already has a floor stop or an overhead stop doing that job, the plain CUSH is unnecessary and a regular or extra duty arm is the simpler order.
    6) Does the LCN 1250 have delayed action so a slower-moving person can get through the door?
    No. The 1250 has no delay function, so it starts sweeping as soon as the door is released. Sweep and latch speed are adjustable, but that isn't the same thing as a timed hold at the start of the close cycle. If the opening genuinely needs delayed action, ZenSupply carries the Orca Hardware BHDC1958 Series delayed action closer with regular arm and parallel bracket, and the BHDC2011 Series delayed action closer in the same configuration. The other route on the 1250 is a hold open arm, which parks the door fully open rather than slowing the close.
    7) Is the LCN 1250 heavy enough for a main entrance that gets constant traffic?
    The 1250 is a light duty closer. It's a commercial unit with a cast aluminum cylinder, a 1-3/8" piston and a heat-treated steel pinion journal, and it's the right tool for interior offices, classrooms, corridors and tenant doors. For a main entrance taking abuse all day, step up in duty level: ZenSupply carries the BEST HD8000 Series and EHD9000 Series heavy duty Grade 1 closers, the Falcon SC71A Series heavy duty Grade 1, and the Sargent 1431 Powerglide heavy duty Grade 1. If the traffic is real but not punishing, the BEST HD7000 Series is a medium duty Grade 1 middle ground.
    8) What is the closest equivalent to the LCN 1250 door closer from another manufacturer?
    The LCN 1250 is a light-duty surface-mounted closer certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1. Peers that match that duty level and grade include the Arrow DC314 in the DC300 Series, the BEST SL6000 Series, and the Norton Rixson 160 Series light commercial closer, all three of which are light duty and Grade 1. The Arrow DCN314 is also a light-duty Grade 1 unit and is supplied less cover with a regular and parallel arm tri-pack, adjustable spring size 1 to 4, where the 1250 adjusts through size 5.
    9) The LCN 1250 tops out at spring size 5. Which surface closer covers a size 6 for a wider or heavier door?
    The LCN 1250 is field-adjustable across spring sizes 1 through 5. If the opening calls for a size 6, the Arrow DCN325 is a light-duty closer with adjustable spring size 1 to 6 supplied less cover with a regular and parallel arm tri-pack, the Norton Rixson 8501A is a Grade 1 tri-mount closer with an adjustable size 1 to 6 spring at medium duty, and the BEST EHD9000 Series carries adjustable spring sizes 1 to 6 at extra heavy duty and Grade 1. The Accentra 51 Series also runs size 1 to 6 with tri-packed mounting and a hold open arm.
    10) The LCN 1250 is a light-duty closer. What goes on a high-traffic exterior entrance instead?
    The LCN 1250 is rated light duty for commercial openings. For heavier traffic, the BEST HD8000 Series is a heavy-duty Grade 1 surface closer, the Sargent 1431 Powerglide is heavy duty and Grade 1 with adjustable spring power, and the Falcon SC71A in the SC70A Series is a heavy-duty Grade 1 surface-mount unit. The Design Hardware 416 Series is another heavy-duty option and ships as a tri-packed non-hold open arm.
    11) My spec sheet calls for a Grade 1 closer. Does the LCN 1250 qualify, and which light-duty alternatives carry a different grade?
    The LCN 1250 is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 and is UL and cUL listed. Among light-duty alternatives, the Arrow DC314, the BEST SL6000 Series, and the Norton Rixson 160 Series are all light duty and Grade 1. The Falcon SC91A in the SC90A Series is a light-duty cast aluminum closer certified Grade 3, and the Cal-Royal 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic closer, so neither answers a Grade 1 specification.
    12) Is there a track-arm closer comparable to the LCN 1250 for a lower-profile arm?
    The LCN 1250 works with surface arms and ships by default with a regular arm and parallel mounting bracket, with long, extra duty, hold open, and Cush-n-Stop arms as alternatives. For a track arm instead, the Corbin Russwin DC5230 in the DC5000 Series comes with a slide track arm as standard for pull side mounting, is Grade 1, and is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 jamb track closer for frame face mounting on the pull side, heavy duty, adjustable size 1 to 6, with a flat non-hold open arm.
    13) Which LCN 1250 arm do I order if I want the door to hold open?
    Six of the ten arm options hold open. HWPA is hold open with the parallel arm mounting bracket, HLONG is the hold open long arm, HEDA-LH and HEDA-RH are the hold open extra duty arms, HCUSH is the hold open Cush-n-Stop, and SHCUSH is the spring hold open Cush-n-Stop. The non hold open arms are RWPA, LONG, EDA and CUSH. Pick the hold open version of the arm style your opening already calls for rather than treating hold open as a separate closer: the mounting and the arm geometry stay the same, the shoe just adds the detent.
    14) Can an LCN 1250 go on an exterior door that sees freezing winters and hot summers?
    It's built for it. The 1250 runs all-weather fluid, so the sweep and latch speeds you set in mild weather hold when the temperature swings, instead of the door crawling in the cold and slamming in the heat. It's a commercial closer, not a residential one. Two things to settle before you hang it outside: the leaf has to be within what a size 5 spring will close, since size 5 is the top of this closer's range, and on a windy exterior opening a Cush-n-Stop arm is worth specifying so gusts don't drive the door past its stop.
    15) Does the LCN 1250 meet a Grade 1 door closer spec and Buy American requirements?
    It does on all counts written into most institutional specs: ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 certified, UL and cUL listed, ADA compliant, and BAA qualified for federally funded work. That combination is why it shows up on schools, healthcare, and municipal packages where the submittal has to clear both the accessibility line and the domestic sourcing line. Duty level is light, so confirm the spec section isn't calling for a medium or heavy duty closer before you submit it.
    16) The frame has a deep reveal. Which LCN 1250 arm reaches?
    Order the long arm. The 1250 offers LONG as the plain long arm and HLONG as the hold open long arm, and those are the two that handle a top jamb mount where the frame face sits back from the door. The standard RWPA regular arm with parallel bracket won't span a deep reveal. Measure the reveal at the head before you order, because the arm choice is fixed at the order form while the spring size can be corrected later on the door.
    17) What are the alternatives to an LCN 1250 for a light duty commercial door closer?
    Three close peers ZenSupply stocks: the BEST SL6000 Series, light duty Grade 1 with adjustable spring sizes; the Arrow DC314 from the DC300 Series, light duty Grade 1; and the Norton Rixson 160 Series light commercial closer with adjustable spring. Where the 1250 pulls ahead is arm selection, ten configurations including Cush-n-Stop, extra duty, and long arms, plus a field-adjustable 1 to 5 spring and all-weather fluid. If your openings are all plain interior doors with a wall stop already in place, a simpler tri-mount closer like the Arrow DCN314 does the same job with fewer decisions on the order form.
    18) My door is too heavy for a size 5 spring. What closer should I use instead of the LCN 1250?
    The 1250 stops at spring size 5, so a leaf that needs more power is the wrong application for it. Closers ZenSupply carries that run to size 6 include the Arrow DCN325 Grade 1 surface closer, adjustable spring size 1 to 6; the Accentra 2701 Series architectural closer with tri-pack mounting and sizes 1 to 6; the Norton Rixson 8501A Grade 1 tri-mount, size 1 to 6; and the Imperial USA TC4300 Series Grade 1 heavy duty, size 1 to 6. Before you jump, confirm the door actually needs it, because the width and weight, not the door's appearance, set the size.
    19) What sits between the light-duty LCN 1250 and a heavy-duty closer for a moderately used interior door?
    The LCN 1250 is light duty and Grade 1 certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4. Medium-duty Grade 1 peers include the Falcon SC81A in the SC80A Series, the Sargent 1131 for medium-traffic commercial openings, and the Norton Rixson 1601P, a tri-mount Grade 1 closer with 180 degree swing. The Dormakaba 7414 is also medium duty and Grade 1, in size 1 to 4.
    20) The LCN 1250 has an aluminum body. When would I specify a cast iron closer instead?
    The LCN 1250 uses a cast aluminum cylinder with a heat-treated steel pinion journal, and aluminum is its body substrate. If the opening calls for a cast iron body, the Sargent 281 Powerglide is a cast iron surface closer with heavy-duty construction, rated heavy duty and Grade 1. Staying in cast aluminum, the Falcon SC61A in the SC60A Series is a cast aluminum Grade 1 closer rated light to medium duty.
    21) Which closers cover hinge, top jamb, and parallel arm mounting from one carton like the LCN 1250?
    The LCN 1250 mounts three ways from a non-handed body: surface hinge mount on the pull side, top jamb on the push side, and parallel arm on the push side. Peers with the same tri-mount coverage include the Dexter DCH1000 Series, a Grade 1 surface closer supplied tri mount for regular, parallel, or top jamb mounting with a full cover, and the Dexter DCM1000 Series, also Grade 1 tri mount. The Norton Rixson 1601P is a Grade 1 tri-mount design with 180 degree swing, and the Arrow DCN314 ships as a regular and parallel arm tri-pack.
    22) Which closers offer a hold open arm as an alternative to the LCN 1250 hold open configurations?
    The LCN 1250 offers hold open arms in several forms, including HWPA hold open with parallel arm mounting bracket, HLONG hold open long arm, HCUSH hold open Cush-n-Stop, SHCUSH spring hold open Cush-n-Stop, and handed HEDA-LH and HEDA-RH hold open extra duty arms. Comparable hold open closers include the Accentra 51 Series, a tri-packed hold open arm closer in size 1 to 6, the Orca BHDC1958HO/PA with a tri-packed hold open arm for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Stanley Security A45-501HL in the D-455 series, which comes with a long hold open arm standard for top jamb mounting.
    23) Is the Arrow DCN500DP drop plate a substitute for an LCN 1250 door closer?
    No. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate for the DCN500, a mounting plate rather than a closer body, so it does not replace the LCN 1250 or provide any closing control on its own. Two other items that turn up in the same searches are not closers either: the Stanley Security 327 is a heavy wardrobe pivot for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors up to 150 pounds, and the Stanley Security 57-0100 is a box of 100 steel machine screws for architectural hinges. For an actual light-duty Grade 1 closer, the Arrow DC314 or the BEST SL6000 Series are the like-for-like items.
    24) I am standardizing on barrier-free closers for an ADA opening. How does the LCN 1250 compare to closers marketed as barrier free?
    The LCN 1250 is ADA compliant, BAA qualified, and field-adjustable across spring sizes 1 through 5. Closers described as barrier free include the Cal-Royal 500S in the 500 Series, a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check, and the Cal-Royal N900PBF in the 900 Series, a Grade 1 barrier free hydraulic surface closer. The Calibre CA9901 is a Grade 1 ADA surface mount closer with a tri-pack arm in size 2 to 5, and the Imperial USA TC4300 Series is a Grade 1 ADA closer in size 1 to 6 at heavy duty.
    25) Which surface closer is intended for an aluminum storefront entrance rather than a hollow metal or wood door?
    The Norton Rixson 1600 Series aluminum storefront closer in the 1600BC series is built for aluminum storefront openings and offers tri-style mounting, rated heavy duty and Grade 1. The LCN 1250 is a light-duty commercial closer that mounts hinge pull side, top jamb push side, or parallel arm push side from a non-handed cast aluminum body, and uses an industry-standard 3/4 inch by 9-1/16 inch hole pattern that lands it in most retrofit openings. Where the frame is a narrow aluminum storefront, the Norton Rixson unit is the one drawn for that condition.
    26) What finishes does the LCN 1250 come in? I need new closers to match the dark bronze hardware already in the building.
    Dark bronze is covered. Seven finishes are offered on the 1250: 622 matte black, 689 aluminum, 690 statuary bronze, 691 light bronze, 693 gloss black, 695 dark bronze, and 696 brass. Those come as either powder coat or plated finishes depending on the code. For a fleet of doors, 689 aluminum and 695 dark bronze are the two that match most existing commercial closer stock. Order the same finish code across the building and the covers and arms read as one set even where the closers were installed years apart.
    27) I want a closer supplied without a cover. How does that compare to the LCN 1250?
    The LCN 1250 carries a plastic cover and a cast aluminum body finished in powder coat or plated finishes. If the job calls for a closer supplied less cover, the Arrow DCN314 and the Arrow DCN325 are both light-duty units furnished less cover with a regular and parallel arm tri-pack, the DCN314 in spring size 1 to 4 and the DCN325 in size 1 to 6. The Dexter DCH1000 Series takes the other approach and is a Grade 1 tri mount closer supplied with a full cover.
