LCN 4040XP-RWPA-652 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will an LCN 4040XP work on a 4 foot wide exterior entrance door?
Yes on width. The 4040XP handles exterior doors up to 4'0" and interior doors up to 5'0". The cylinder is non-sized, so you are not picking a fixed spring size at order time the way you do with sized closers. Spring power adjusts through sizes 1 through 6 on both the standard and the delayed action cylinder, so the same closer covers a narrow office door and a full width entrance. It runs all-weather fluid, so the sweep speed you set in July is close to what you get in January on an exterior opening.
2) Can the LCN 4040XP be mounted on the push side of the door?
Three mounting positions are covered: hinge mount on the pull side, top jamb mount on the push side, and parallel arm mount on the push side. Parallel arm is the usual choice on the push side of a corridor or exterior opening because the closer body sits tight under the frame face rather than projecting into the opening. Top jamb puts the body on the frame above the door with the arm coming down to the door face. The mounting hole pattern is 2-1/4" x 5".
3) I'm replacing a worn out closer - will the 4040XP land on the holes that are already in the door?
The 4040XP mounting hole pattern is 2-1/4" x 5". Pull the old closer, measure the existing prep, and if it matches that pattern the new body drops onto the same holes. If it does not match, you are laying out and drilling fresh holes and dealing with the old ones, which on a hollow metal door usually means through bolting rather than screwing into the door skin. Worth measuring before the truck rolls, because the arm and shoe locations move with the body.
4) The door swings back into a wall and there's no floor stop - which LCN 4040XP arm do I order?
Order a Cush-n-Stop arm. CUSH, HCUSH, SCUSH and SHCUSH build the stop into the arm shoe, so the arm takes the overswing instead of the wall or a floor stop. SCUSH and SHCUSH add spring cushioning ahead of the stop, which is what you want on a windy exterior opening. HCUSH and SHCUSH also hold the door open. If a stop already exists, the regular arm (REGARM), the regular arm with parallel bracket (RWPA), or the extra duty arm (EDA) is the cheaper and simpler pick. Cush arms are a parallel arm, push side application.
5) Which LCN 4040XP arm gives me a hold open, and can I use one on a fire door?
Seven hold open arms are offered on the 4040XP: H (hold open), HCUSH (hold open Cush-n-Stop), SHCUSH (spring hold open Cush-n-Stop), HEDA and HEDA62G (hold open extra duty), HLONG (hold open long arm), and HWPA (hold open with parallel arm bracket). Pick the one that matches your mounting and whether you also need a built in stop. Do not put a mechanical hold open on a fire rated opening. A fire door has to close and latch on alarm, so a hold open there has to be an electrically released device, not an arm the user sets by hand.
6) Does the LCN 4040XP come with delayed action, and when do I actually need it?
Delayed action is a cylinder choice, not an add on part. Order the CYLDEL delayed action cylinder instead of the standard CYL and you get a dwell before the sweep starts, adjustable across the same spring sizes 1 through 6. Specify it where people need extra time through the opening: patient room and clinic doors, doors on a route someone crosses in a wheelchair or with a walker, and openings where housekeeping and food carts come through. Skip it on a high traffic entrance where you want the door back on the latch quickly.
7) Our doors were flagged for opening force on an accessibility inspection - will the LCN 4040XP get us compliant?
The 4040XP meets ADA reduced opening force requirements. Because the cylinder is non-sized and adjustable through spring sizes 1 to 6, you can dial the spring down on an interior door to bring opening force into range instead of buying a different closer. LCN's Green Dial spring force indicator on the closer shows where the spring is set, so a maintenance tech can repeat the setting across a run of doors rather than guessing by feel. On an exterior door, back the spring off only as far as the door still closes and latches against stack pressure and wind.
8) Is the LCN 4040XP UL listed for a self-closing door?
The 4040XP carries UL and cUL listing for self-closing doors and meets ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1. That is the pairing a spec writer and a fire marshal look for on a self-closing opening. Note the arm you pair with it matters: a self-closing rated opening cannot use a mechanical hold open arm, so on those doors specify a non hold open arm such as REGARM, RWPA, EDA, CUSH or SCUSH.
9) What Grade 1 closer uses a slide track arm rather than the projecting arms the LCN 4040XP is built around?
Every arm on the LCN 4040XP is a projecting type: regular arm, long and extra long arms, extra duty arm, Cush-n-Stop, and their hold-open versions. If the specification or the site calls for an arm that runs in a track rather than swinging out from the door, the Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a slide track arm as standard, pull side mounting, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Dorma 8916-JT is the other track option, a heavy duty Grade 1 jamb track closer with frame face mounting on the pull side, adjustable size 1 to 6, supplied with a flat non-hold-open arm.
10) What door closer from another manufacturer is the closest match to the LCN 4040XP on a heavy-traffic commercial opening?
The Sargent 281 Powerglide is the nearest match on construction and rating: it is a cast iron surface door closer built heavy duty to Grade 1, the same pairing the LCN 4040XP uses with its cast-iron cylinder and ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 certification. The Falcon SC71A is the other close peer, a heavy-duty Grade 1 surface-mount closer in the SC70A series, as is the BEST HD8000, a heavy duty Grade 1 surface mounted closer. The 4040XP itself is rated heavy duty and adjusts across spring sizes 1 through 6, so a peer needs both the heavy duty class and the Grade 1 rating to stand in on the same door.
11) Which competing surface closers adjust across the same spring size 1 through 6 range as the LCN 4040XP?
The LCN 4040XP takes a standard or delayed-action cylinder that adjusts across spring sizes 1 through 6, so the doors it can cover run from a light interior leaf up to a heavy exterior one on a single part number. Peers with the same adjustment span include the BEST EHD9000, an extra heavy-duty Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring sizes 1 to 6; the Norton Rixson 8501A, a Grade 1 tri-mount closer with an adjustable size 1 to 6 spring; the Dorma 8916-JT, a heavy duty Grade 1 jamb-track closer adjustable size 1 to 6; and the Accentra 2701, an architectural closer with adjustable spring sizes 1 to 6. Anything narrower in range means picking the spring by door before you order rather than after it hangs.
12) The opening is a narrow-stile aluminum storefront door. What closer should be used instead of the LCN 4040XP?
The LCN 4040XP is a cast-iron-cylinder surface closer built for hinge (pull side), top jamb (push side), and parallel arm (push side) mounting on commercial doors. For an aluminum storefront leaf, the Norton Rixson 1600 Series aluminum storefront door closer is the peer built for that opening, with tri-style mounting and heavy duty Grade 1 performance in the 1600BC series. The Norton Rixson 1601P is the related Grade 1 tri-mount closer in the 1600 series at medium duty. Both keep the Grade 1 rating the 4040XP carries while being sized to a storefront application.
13) Our drawing specifies ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1. Which similar-looking surface closers will not satisfy that line?
The LCN 4040XP is tested to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 and carries UL and cUL listing for self-closing doors, so it holds the line as written. Two closers that sit alongside it and will not: the Cal-Royal 400 Series commercial hydraulic closer is a Grade 2 unit, and the Falcon SC91A in the SC90A series is a light duty Grade 3 closer. A submittal reviewer checking the grade will reject either against a Grade 1 call-out. If the grade has to hold but the duty class can drop, the BEST SL6000 and the Arrow DC314 are both Grade 1 at light duty.
14) Will an LCN 4040XP hold up on a school or hospital main entrance that gets hit all day?
That is the traffic level it is built for. The 4040XP uses a cast iron cylinder with a 1-1/2" diameter piston, a forged steel arm, and a double heat treated steel pinion, running on a full complement low friction bearing. It is rated ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 and classed heavy duty. On an opening that also gets abused (wind catching it, carts, students throwing it open), pair it with the EDA extra duty arm, or with SCUSH if you need the stop built into the arm as well.
15) What's the difference between the REGARM, RWPA, LONG and XLONG arms when ordering an LCN 4040XP?
They differ by what mounting they are set up for and how far the arm has to reach. REGARM is the plain regular arm for hinge side mounting. RWPA is the same regular arm supplied with the parallel arm bracket, which is the piece that lets it mount parallel arm on the push side, and HWPA is the hold open version of that. RW62A comes with the 62A auxiliary shoe. LONG and XLONG are longer arm assemblies for top jamb mounts where the frame reveal is deep enough that a standard arm cannot make the reach, with HLONG as the hold open long arm. Order the bracket version rather than adding it later.
16) Is the LCN 4040XP Buy American qualified for a federal or municipal job?
The 4040XP is BAA qualified, which is the Buy American Act designation procurement officers ask for on federally funded work. Paired with its ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 rating and UL and cUL listing for self-closing doors, it covers the boxes most government and institutional door hardware specs check.
17) What are the closest alternatives to the LCN 4040XP if I want another heavy duty Grade 1 surface closer?
Staying in heavy duty Grade 1, the direct peers are the Sargent 281 Powerglide, which is also a cast iron surface closer, the BEST EHD9000 Series extra heavy duty closer with adjustable spring sizes 1 through 6, the Falcon SC71A heavy duty surface mount closer, and the Dormakaba 8616 with a flat arm supplied tri-pack. Sargent's 1431 Powerglide is another heavy duty Grade 1 option. Where the 4040XP separates itself is the breadth of arm choices, including the Cush-n-Stop and spring Cush arms with the stop built in.
18) Is the LCN 4040XP overkill for low traffic interior office doors?
For a light interior door, probably. The 4040XP is a heavy duty, cast iron cylinder closer built for entrances and high traffic openings; it will work on an office door dialed down toward spring size 1, but you are paying for capacity you will not use. Lighter options include the BEST SL6000 Series, a Grade 1 light duty surface closer, the Arrow DCN314 in light duty with adjustable spring sizes 1 to 4, and the Falcon SC91A, a light duty cast aluminum closer. If the door is an entrance, a fire rated opening, or anything that gets abused, stay with the 4040XP.
19) Our entry doors slam in the winter and drag in the summer - is that something the 4040XP fixes?
It is what the all-weather fluid is for. Standard closer fluid thickens in the cold and thins in the heat, which is why a door that is set right in October slams in January. The 4040XP runs LCN's all-weather Liquid X fluid to hold the closing speed steady through temperature swings. If a tech does need to change spring power seasonally or after a re-hang, the Green Dial spring force indicator shows the setting on the dial, so the same value can be repeated across every opening in the building instead of each door being set by feel.
20) I need delayed action so a resident or patient has time to clear the opening. What are the alternatives to the LCN 4040XP delayed-action cylinder?
The LCN 4040XP offers a delayed action cylinder that still adjusts across spring sizes 1 through 6, so the delay comes without giving up the adjustment range. Among the peers, 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 BHDC2011DA/PA is the same delayed action function in the BHDC2011 series, also with the regular arm and parallel bracket and a tri-packed non-hold-open arm. Both give the delay on the parallel arm mounting a push-side install needs.
21) What are the hold-open equivalents to the LCN 4040XP hold-open arms?
The LCN 4040XP covers hold open several ways: the H hold open arm, HEDA hold open extra duty arm, HCUSH and SHCUSH hold open Cush-n-Stop arms, HLONG hold open long arm, and HWPA hold open with a parallel arm mounting bracket. Cross-brand, the Accentra 51 Series is an industrial closer with a tri-packed hold open arm covering sizes 1 to 6, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958HO/PA is a hold open closer with a parallel bracket and a tri-packed hold open arm for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Stanley Security A45-501HL supplies a long hold open arm as standard for top jamb mounting in the D-455 series.
22) This is a light-traffic interior office door. Is there a simpler closer than the LCN 4040XP that still holds the Grade 1 rating?
The LCN 4040XP is built heavy duty with a cast-iron cylinder and a 1-1/2 inch diameter piston for the busiest openings. On a quieter interior door, the BEST HD7000 is a medium duty Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring power and backcheck control, the Falcon SC81A is a medium duty Grade 1 cast aluminum closer, and the BEST SL6000 is a light duty Grade 1 closer with adjustable spring sizes. The Sargent 1131 is another medium duty Grade 1 adjustable surface closer aimed at medium-traffic commercial doors. All four keep Grade 1; what changes is the duty class the body is built to.
23) Will a closer adjustable from size 1 to 4 cover the same doors as the LCN 4040XP?
Not at the top end. The LCN 4040XP adjusts across closer sizes 1 through 6, which is what lets one body serve interior doors up to 5 feet and exterior doors up to 4 feet. Closers that stop at size 4 include the Accentra 1101BF, an industrial closer with adjustable spring sizes 1 to 4, the Arrow DCN314, a Grade 1 tri-pack closer with adjustable spring size 1 to 4, and the Dormakaba 7414, a medium duty Grade 1 closer in size 1 to 4. If the wide or exterior leaves on the job need spring power above 4, those three run out of range where the 4040XP still has adjustment left.
24) Is the Arrow DCN500DP the same kind of part as the LCN 4040XP?
No. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate for the DCN500, a mounting plate that adapts a closer to the frame, not a closer itself. The LCN 4040XP is the complete surface mounted door closer, with the cast-iron cylinder, the arm, and the metal cover. Two other part numbers that surface in the same search are the Stanley Security 327 and 341, which are wardrobe pivots for hanging doors rather than any form of door control. If the order is meant to replace a working closer, it needs a closer part number.
25) Which comparable closers ship with a full cover like the LCN 4040XP, and which arrive without one?
The LCN 4040XP carries a metal cover, and the plated finish is applied to the cover, arm, and fasteners. Peers supplied with a cover include the Dexter DCH1000, a Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer with a full cover, and the Design Hardware 316 Series, a medium to heavy duty closer supplied with a cover. Going the other way, the Arrow DCN325 and Arrow DCN314 are Grade 1 tri-pack closers supplied less cover. On an exposed lobby or corridor door where the closer is in plain view, that difference is visible from the floor.
26) Which other closers mount three ways like the LCN 4040XP, so one part number covers pull side, top jamb, and parallel arm?
The LCN 4040XP mounts hinge (pull side), top jamb (push side), and parallel arm (push side). Peers packed for the same flexibility are the Dexter DCH4000 and DCM1000, Grade 1 surface closers tri-mounted for regular, parallel, or top jamb installation; the Norton Rixson 8501A, a Grade 1 tri-mount closer with an adjustable size 1 to 6 spring; the Accentra 2701, an architectural closer with tri-pack mounting options; and the Design Hardware 116 Series, a heavy duty closer with a tri-packed non-hold-open arm. For a crew that will not know the swing until it is on site, any of these arrives ready for the mounting the opening turns out to need.
27) What is the practical difference between the LCN 4040XP and closers built on an aluminum body such as the Sargent 1331?
The LCN 4040XP is built on iron, with a cast-iron cylinder, a 1-1/2 inch diameter piston, a forged steel arm, and a double heat-treated steel pinion, rated heavy duty. The Sargent 1331 is a Grade 1 adjustable surface closer with a universal aluminum body at medium duty, and the Falcon SC61A is a Grade 1 cast aluminum surface closer rated light to medium duty in the SC60A series. The Sargent 281 sits on the same side as the LCN, a cast iron heavy duty Grade 1 closer. Match the body material to the traffic the opening actually sees rather than to the grade line alone.
28) Which comparable closers are barrier free or ADA rated the way the LCN 4040XP is?
The LCN 4040XP is ADA compliant and meets the reduced opening force requirement. Peers built to the same accessibility need include the Cal-Royal 500S, a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check; the Cal-Royal N900PBF, a Grade 1 barrier free hydraulic surface closer; the Calibre CA9901, a Grade 1 ADA surface mount closer with a tri-pack arm covering sizes 2 to 5; and the Imperial USA TC4300, a Grade 1 heavy duty ADA closer in sizes 1 to 6. The Calibre CA4001 is another Grade 1 hydraulic closer with adjustable spring tension for ADA. For a facility with an accessibility standard applied door by door, any of these answers the same requirement.
29) We are standardizing door closers across a campus with a mix of heavy exterior doors and quiet interior ones. How does the LCN 4040XP fit alongside a single-brand program?
The LCN 4040XP covers a wide band on its own, since one cylinder adjusts across spring sizes 1 through 6 for interior doors to 5 feet and exterior doors to 4 feet, all at heavy duty and Grade 1. If the program instead wants one brand graduated by door, BEST runs SL6000 at light duty Grade 1, HD7000 at medium duty Grade 1, HD8000 at heavy duty Grade 1, and EHD9000 at extra heavy duty Grade 1. Sargent runs 1131 and 1331 at medium duty Grade 1 with 1431 and 281 at heavy duty Grade 1. Falcon runs SC91A at light duty, SC81A at medium duty, and SC71A at heavy duty. Either approach standardizes the fleet; the LCN does it with one model across the range, the others with a stepped family.
30) I want the door to stop at the arm instead of adding a wall or floor stop. How does that narrow the choice against the LCN 4040XP?
The LCN 4040XP is offered with Cush-n-Stop arms - CUSH, HCUSH for hold open, SCUSH with the spring stop, and SHCUSH combining spring stop and hold open - so the stop is built into the arm assembly at the closer. Peers in the same class come with a different arm style: the Dormakaba 8616 is supplied with a flat non-hold-open arm in a tri-pack, the Design Hardware 416 Series with a tri-packed non-hold-open arm, and the Corbin Russwin DC6200 and DC8200 with a double lever regular arm for pull side mounting. Those are plain closing arms, so the stop has to come from separate hardware on the wall or floor.
31) I need door closers to match the satin chrome hardware already in the building - what finishes does the plated 4040XP come in?
Eight plated finishes: 616 satin bronze blackened, 632 bright brass, 633 satin brass, 639 satin bronze, 646 satin nickel, 651 bright chrome, 652 satin chrome, and 693 gloss black. For satin chrome trim, 652 is the match. The plating goes on the metal cover, the arm, and the fasteners, so the whole visible assembly reads as one finish rather than a plated cover on a painted arm. The cover itself is metal, not plastic, which matters on openings where covers get knocked off.
32) A search for door closers turned up the Arrow DCN500DP and a Stanley 327 - are those substitutes for an LCN 4040XP?
Neither one is a closer. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate for the DCN500, a mounting accessory that lets a closer body mount where the frame face will not take it. The Stanley 327 is a heavy wardrobe pivot for 1-3/8" or 1-3/4" doors up to 150 lbs, which hangs a door rather than closing it. If you need a surface mounted closer for a commercial opening, compare against something like the BEST HD8000 or Falcon SC71A, both heavy duty Grade 1 surface closers.
33) Is the Sargent 1431 Powerglide interchangeable with the LCN 4040XP on an order?
They are peers, not the same part. The Sargent 1431 Powerglide is a heavy-duty Grade 1 surface door closer with adjustable spring power in the 1431 series; the LCN 4040XP is model 4040XP in the LCN 4000 series, heavy duty and Grade 1, with a cast-iron cylinder and a 1-1/2 inch piston, and it is ordered by arm, cylinder, finish, handing, and whether through-bolt wood and machine screws are included. A distributor cross-referencing the two should treat them as equivalent-class closers and confirm the arm and mounting selections separately, since the 4040XP uses a 2-1/4 by 5 inch mounting hole pattern.
