LCN 4014T-652 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the LCN 4014T close a 4-foot exterior door, or is it interior only?

The 4014T is built for interior openings up to 5'0" wide, and its sized cylinders will handle exterior doors up to 4'0". LCN positions it as a heavy duty high security closer for institutional interior doors in rugged high traffic, so on a wider exterior opening you are outside what the cylinder is sized for. Closer size is 4, and the spring force is set with LCN's Green Dial indicator rather than by trial and error.

2) Which side of the door does the LCN 4014T mount on, and can it be parallel arm or top jamb mounted?

Hinge (pull) side only. The 4014T is a surface mounted, pull side hinge application closer, so the body goes on the door face on the side the door pulls toward and the track lands on the frame. It is not a tri-mount closer. If your opening requires the closer on the push side, out of the way of the swing, look at a tri-mount unit such as the Dexter DCH4000 or the Norton Rixson 8501A, both of which are catalogued for regular, parallel or top jamb mounting.

3) Does the LCN 4014T door closer need to be ordered handed?

Yes, handing is a required choice. The 4014T is a handed design, and you specify Right Hand or Left Hand on the order. Stand outside the door on the side it swings away from you: hinges on your right is RH, hinges on your left is LH. Get this wrong and the closer will not template to the opening. LCN supplies a peel-n-stick template with the closer for laying out the holes.

4) What is the mounting hole pattern for the LCN 4014T, and will it cover an existing closer's holes?

The 4014T uses a 2-1/2" x 6" mounting hole pattern on the door. If you are swapping out another closer, pull the cover and measure the existing screw pattern first: anything that does not land on 2-1/2 by 6 means new holes in the door and, on a hollow metal door, likely sex bolts or a reinforcement. Because it is a pull side hinge application, the existing closer also has to be on the pull side for a straight swap.

5) What track and arm options do I have to pick when ordering the 4014T?

Three choices are required on every 4014T order. Arm: Standard Track Arm, or the Double Egress arm if you are hanging a double egress pair (the kind of frame you see in hospital corridors where the two leaves swing opposite ways). Track: Standard Track, Hold Open Track, Track with Bumper, or Hold Open Track with Bumper. The bumper track stops the door at the end of the swing so you are not also buying a wall stop; the hold open track lets the door stand open at the set point. Plus handing, RH or LH.

6) Is the LCN 4014T ANSI Grade 1 and UL listed for a fire rated opening?

The 4014T is tested and certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 and carries UL and cUL listing. It is also ADA compliant and BAA qualified, which is the piece federal and other publicly funded jobs usually ask for by name. If you are standardizing closers across a facility and the spec calls out Grade 1 with a domestic sourcing requirement, this one answers both.

7) Will an LCN 4014T hold up in a school or hospital corridor that gets abused?

That is the application it was built around. The cylinder is cast iron, not aluminum, with a full-complement bearing and a 1-1/2" diameter piston, and the pinion journal is double heat-treated steel. LCN calls it their best performing heavy duty high security closer for institutional and other rugged high traffic interior doors. Cast aluminum bodies, common in light and medium duty closers, are what fail first on an abused corridor door.

8) I need a closer for a double egress pair - does the LCN 4014T cover that, and what else does?

The LCN 4014T can be ordered with a double egress arm, which suits a double egress frame. Among peers, the Dormakaba 8616 AF86P FC SNB1 689 is a heavy duty Grade 1 closer with a flat non-hold open arm supplied tri-pack, and the Dorma 8916-JT is a heavy duty Grade 1 closer with a flat non-hold open arm. Flat arm bodies are the usual choice where the arm must clear a tight frame face.

9) What is the closest heavy duty cast iron substitute for an LCN 4014T on an interior institutional door?

The Sargent 281 Powerglide is a cast iron surface door closer built for heavy-duty commercial use and certified ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, which matches the LCN 4014T's cast iron cylinder construction and Grade 1 heavy duty rating. Both are surface-mounted closers intended for high traffic openings. Confirm handing and arm or track selection separately, since the 4014T is a handed track closer while the 281 is supplied with a Powerglide arm.

10) Which heavy duty Grade 1 closers are alternatives to the LCN 4014T if the LCN arm and track options do not suit the frame?

Several heavy duty Grade 1 surface closers cover the same class of opening: the BEST HD8000 Series, the BEST EHD9000 Series with adjustable spring sizes 1 through 6, the Falcon SC71A Series heavy-duty surface-mount closer, and the Sargent 1431 Powerglide with adjustable spring power. The LCN 4014T is a sized closer at size 4 with a hinge-side surface mount, so the adjustable-spring peers give a single body that can be tuned in the field rather than ordered to a fixed size.

11) Which closers can replace an LCN 4014T when the door needs a slide track arm rather than a projecting arm?

The Corbin Russwin DC5230 Series is a Grade 1 surface closer supplied with a slide track arm as standard and pull side mounting, and the Dorma 8916-JT is a heavy duty Grade 1 jamb track closer with frame face mounting on the pull side, adjustable size 1 through 6. Both keep the track-style low-projection profile of the LCN 4014T, which mounts on the pull side with a standard or hold open track.

12) The LCN 4014T has no delay function - which comparable closer offers delayed action?

The Orca Hardware BHDC1958DA/PA and BHDC2011DA/PA are delayed action closers with a regular arm and parallel bracket, both for 1-3/4 inch doors. The LCN 4014T is a sized cast iron closer without a delay function, so for an opening where a slow initial swing is required for accessibility traffic, the delayed action bodies are the ones to specify.

13) Is the Arrow DC314 an equivalent to the LCN 4014T because both are Grade 1?

Both carry a Grade 1 certification, but the Arrow DC314 of the DC300 Series is a light duty surface closer, while the LCN 4014T is heavy duty with a cast iron cylinder for institutional high traffic openings. The same applies to the Arrow DCN314 and DCN325, which are light duty and supplied less cover. Grade alone does not make them interchangeable on a heavy traffic door.

14) What closer works instead of an LCN 4014T on an aluminum storefront door?

The Norton Rixson 1600 Series aluminum storefront closer is a heavy duty Grade 1 closer with tri-style mounting intended for aluminum storefront openings. The LCN 4014T is a sized cast iron closer for interior institutional and rugged high traffic doors, with sized cylinders taking interior doors up to 5 feet and exterior doors up to 4 feet.

15) Does the LCN 4014T have a delayed action / delayed closing feature?

No delay function on the 4014T. If you need the door to hang open a few extra seconds for a wheelchair, a gurney or a cart before it starts to close, this is not the closer for it. Among heavy commercial closers we carry, Orca Hardware's BHDC1958 delayed action model is built for that, in a regular arm with parallel bracket. Note the 4014T does still meet ADA opening force requirements and can be adjusted for closing speed and latch speed.

16) What finishes does the LCN 4014T plated closer come in?

Six plated finishes: 632 bright brass, 633 satin brass, 639 satin bronze, 646 satin nickel, 651 bright chrome and 652 satin chrome. The plating goes on the metal cover, the arm and the fasteners, so the visible hardware matches the lever and hinges on the rest of the opening. If you are matching an existing building standard, 652 satin chrome is the common commercial pairing with 626 satin chrome lock trim.

17) Will an LCN 4014T work on an exterior door in a cold climate?

The fluid is all-weather, so the closer keeps its speed adjustment through temperature swings instead of slamming in summer and stalling in winter. That said, the 4014T is a sized cylinder rated to 4'0" on exterior doors, and the closer body itself is metal cover with a plated finish. On a wide entrance or a heavy exterior storefront leaf, size the opening against that 4'0" limit before you commit.

18) What is the difference between the LCN 4014T and a tri-pack closer like the Sargent 281 or BEST HD8000?

The 4014T is a track closer: fixed pull side hinge mounting, a track rather than a projecting arm, and a sized size 4 cylinder. A tri-pack heavy duty closer such as the Sargent 281 (cast iron, Grade 1) or the BEST HD8000 Series ships to cover multiple mounting positions with an adjustable spring, which is what you want when you are buying a pallet of closers for openings you have not surveyed yet. The track arm on the 4014T sits tighter to the door and takes less abuse from carts and traffic than an exposed parallel arm, which is why it shows up on institutional corridors.

19) Is a Grade 1 light duty closer like the Arrow DC314 the same thing as the LCN 4014T?

Both carry Grade 1, but Grade 1 is a test standard, not a duty rating, and the two are not interchangeable on a busy opening. The Arrow DC314 is catalogued light duty; the 4014T is heavy duty with a cast iron cylinder. On a low-traffic office or a tenant suite door, a light duty Grade 1 closer is enough. On a stairwell, a corridor, a gym or an entry that cycles all day, the heavier cylinder is what keeps it from leaking. If you want a middle option, the BEST HD7000 Series is medium duty Grade 1.

20) How do I set the spring force on an LCN 4014T so it still passes an ADA opening force check?

The 4014T uses LCN's patented Green Dial spring force indicator, so you read the setting off the dial instead of counting turns and guessing. The closer is a sized size 4 cylinder and is ADA compliant, so the adjustment range is there to get you to the opening force your inspector will measure with a door pressure gauge. Note the spring is sized, not the wide 1-6 adjustable range you get on a tri-pack unit, so match the size 4 cylinder to the opening width before you order.

21) What is a lighter duty door closer to use instead of an LCN 4014T on a low traffic interior office door?

For a lighter opening, the BEST HD7000 Series is a medium duty Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring power and backcheck control, the Falcon SC81A Series is a medium duty cast aluminum surface closer, and the Norton Rixson 1601P is a medium duty Grade 1 tri-mount closer. The LCN 4014T is a heavy duty cast iron closer built for institutional high traffic doors, so these medium duty bodies are the step down in class.

22) What should I order instead of an LCN 4014T if the closer needs to hold the door open?

The LCN 4014T can be ordered with a hold open track or a hold open track with bumper. If a hold open arm closer from another maker is needed, the Accentra 51 Series is supplied with a tri-packed hold open arm, and the Orca Hardware BHDC1958HO/PA is a hold open closer with a parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors.

23) What is the difference between an LCN 4014T and a Cal-Royal 400 Series closer?

The Cal-Royal 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic door closer. The LCN 4014T is certified ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 with cast iron cylinder construction for heavy duty use. If the specification on the drawing calls for Grade 1, the Cal-Royal peers that carry it are the 500S barrier free closer with adjustable back-check and the 700S Series dual valve sized closer with an adjustable tube arm.

24) Which closers should I look at instead of an LCN 4014T if I want one part number that covers several mounting positions?

The LCN 4014T is a handed closer for surface hinge pull side mounting. For a body that covers more than one mounting position from a single order, the Dexter DCH1000 Series and DCH4000 Series are Grade 1 tri-mount closers for regular, parallel or top jamb mounting, and the Norton Rixson 8501A is a Grade 1 tri-mount closer with an adjustable size 1 through 6 spring. Tri-mount stocking is a common approach when standardizing across a facility with mixed openings.

25) Which heavy duty closer alternatives to the LCN 4014T come with a metal cover included?

The LCN 4014T is supplied with a metal cover. Among the heavy duty peers, the Design Hardware 316 Series is a medium to heavy duty closer supplied with a cover, and the Design Hardware 116 and 416 Series are heavy duty closers with a tri-packed non-hold open arm. If a covered body matters on an exposed interior opening, confirm the cover on the peer before ordering, since some closers such as the Arrow DCN314 are catalogued less cover.

26) Which alternatives to the LCN 4014T are barrier free or ADA rated closers?

The LCN 4014T is ADA compliant. Peers described for barrier free and ADA service include the Cal-Royal 500S, a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check, the Cal-Royal N900PBF barrier free Grade 1 hydraulic surface closer, the Calibre CA9901 tri-pack arm size 2 through 5 ADA surface mount closer, and the Imperial USA TC4300 Series, a Grade 1 heavy duty size 1 through 6 ADA closer.

27) Are Stanley Security 327 and 341 alternatives to an LCN 4014T?

No. The Stanley Security 327 and 341 are wardrobe pivots for cabinet and closet doors, not door closers. The LCN 4014T is a surface-mounted hydraulic door closer for commercial openings. If a Stanley closer is wanted, the A45-501HL is a top jamb closer with a long hold open arm as standard.

28) Does the LCN 4014T come with a cover, or do I order that separately?

A metal cover is part of the closer, and on the plated version the cover, the arm and the fasteners all carry the finish you select. That matters if you have specified a bare or less-cover closer before, like the Arrow DCN314 which is catalogued less cover, and had to source the cover as a separate line. With the 4014T the finished appearance is in the box.
