LCN 4040XP-61 Blade Stop Spacer — 1/2" Clearance for Parallel Arm Installations

The LCN 4040XP-61 Blade Stop Spacer is a required installation accessory for 4040XP Series door closers mounted in parallel arm configuration where the arm shoe must clear a 1/2" (13 mm) blade stop. It also compensates for uneven mounting surfaces to maintain proper closer alignment and consistent door operation. Available in 13 standard LCN finishes to match the closer and surrounding hardware.

Key Features

  • 1/2" (13 mm) Clearance: Lowers the parallel arm shoe to clear blade stops of that height — use this part when the standard shoe sits too high for the stop.
  • 4040XP Series Specific: Engineered for LCN 4040XP Series closers; not a universal spacer.
  • Surface Compensation: Corrects for uneven door or frame mounting surfaces to keep the closer arm geometry correct.
  • Commercial Grade: Built to the same material and finish standards as the 4040XP closer itself for long-term durability in high-traffic applications.
  • ADA Compliant: Yes.

Compatibility

  • LCN 4040XP Series door closers in parallel arm (PA) mounting
  • Applications with 1/2" blade stops on the door stop or frame

LCN 4040XP-61-689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the LCN 4040XP-61 blade stop spacer used for?
The 4040XP-61 is a spacer that drops the parallel arm shoe on an LCN 4040XP closer so it clears a 1/2 inch (13 mm) blade stop. Without it, the shoe sits too high against the stop and the arm geometry is wrong. It also takes up uneven door or frame mounting surfaces so the closer sits flat.
2) Do I need a blade stop spacer for a regular arm or top jamb mount closer?
No. The spacer only matters in parallel arm (PA) mounting, where the shoe attaches to the face of the door stop. Regular arm and top jamb installs put the shoe on the frame face or soffit, so a blade stop is not in the way. Order the 4040XP-61 only when you are mounting a 4040XP parallel arm over a 1/2 inch blade stop.
3) My blade stop is taller than 1/2 inch. Will this spacer still work?
The 4040XP-61 is sized for a 1/2 inch (13 mm) stop, so it lowers the shoe by that amount and no more. Measure the blade stop height on your frame before ordering. A taller stop needs a different clearance spacer or a drop plate, not this one.
4) Can a Deltana DCCA4041 cushion arm or DCHA1050 hold open arm be used in place of the LCN 4040XP-61 blade stop spacer?
No. The DCCA4041 is a cushion arm for the Deltana DC40 closer and the DCHA1050 is a hold open arm for the Deltana DC10 closer, so both are arm assemblies built for their own Deltana closer series. The LCN 4040XP-61 is not an arm at all: it is a spacer that lowers the parallel arm shoe so it clears a 1/2 inch blade stop, and it is engineered for LCN 4040XP Series closers rather than being universal. Swapping in a Deltana arm changes the closer's arm hardware; it does nothing about shoe height over a blade stop.
5) The closer on the door is a Cal-Royal 900 Series, not an LCN. What accessory part covers that closer instead of the 4040XP-61 spacer?
For a Cal-Royal 900 Series closer, the accessory to order is the Cal-Royal 900 Series door closer accessories kit for commercial door controls, which is built to that series. The LCN 4040XP-61 blade stop spacer is engineered for LCN 4040XP Series closers and is not a universal spacer, so it should stay with an LCN 4040XP installation. Match the accessory to the closer series already hung on the door.
6) Can I get the LCN blade stop spacer to match my closer finish?
Thirteen LCN finishes are offered on the 4040XP-61: 632 bright brass, 633 satin brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 639 satin bronze, 651 bright chrome, 652 satin chrome, 689 aluminum, 690 statuary bronze, 691 light bronze, 693 gloss black, 695 dark bronze, 696 brass, and 622 matte black. Order the same finish code as the closer body so the spacer disappears behind the arm shoe. 689 aluminum and 695 dark bronze are the two you will see most on commercial openings.
7) Does adding a blade stop spacer affect ADA compliance on the opening?
The 4040XP-61 is ADA compliant, so putting it under the arm shoe does not take the opening out of compliance. It corrects arm geometry rather than changing it, which is what keeps the closer delivering the opening force the door was adjusted for.
8) I am standardizing closer accessories across a building. Should I stock this spacer or a full accessory kit?
The 4040XP-61 solves one problem, a 1/2 inch blade stop under a 4040XP parallel arm shoe, so stock it per opening that actually has that condition rather than across the board. If your building runs a different closer line, the accessory parts follow that line instead, for example the Cal-Royal 900 Series door closer accessories kit for 900 Series closers or the Dorma 15323 1-1/2 inch offset bottom arm with cover.
9) My closer arm shoe sits crooked because the frame face is uneven. Will a spacer fix that?
That is the second job this part does. Besides clearing a 1/2 inch blade stop, the 4040XP-61 compensates for uneven door or frame mounting surfaces so the 4040XP arm keeps correct geometry and the door closes consistently. If the surface is flat and there is no blade stop, you do not need it.
10) Is a blade stop spacer the same thing as a drop plate or a floor closer accessory?
No. A blade stop spacer sits under the parallel arm shoe of a surface mounted closer to clear the stop. A drop plate lowers the closer body itself when there is not enough frame face. And floor closer hardware is a different category entirely, such as the Norton Rixson 28 Series center hung single acting floor closer rated to 350 lbs door weight or the 30 Series double acting unit rated to 200 lbs. If your door pivots on a floor closer, this LCN spacer is not the part.
11) Is the Dorma 15323 offset bottom arm an alternative to the LCN blade stop spacer for gaining clearance?
They solve different problems. The Dorma 15323 is a 1-1/2 inch offset bottom arm with cover, rated standard duty, and it is the arm that connects a closer to the door bottom rail. The LCN 4040XP-61 is a spacer used in parallel arm mounting on an LCN 4040XP closer to lower the arm shoe over a 1/2 inch blade stop, and it also compensates for uneven mounting surfaces to keep the arm geometry correct. If the obstruction is a blade stop under a surface closer's parallel arm shoe, an offset bottom arm does not address it.
12) Is this an LCN part for commercial doors or will it work on a residential closer?
Commercial. The 4040XP-61 is an installation accessory for the LCN 4040XP, a commercial closer used in offices, healthcare, education, government and multi-family buildings. There is no residential closer application for it.
