LCN 4514T-689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the LCN 4514T work on an exterior door?

The 4514T is catalogued as an interior door closer, and the sizing bears that out: sized cylinders cover interior doors to 5'0" and exterior doors to 4'0", while the non-sized cylinder is adjustable for interior doors to 4'6" and exterior to 3'6". So it will handle a narrower exterior opening, but on a wide exterior entrance you are at the edge of its range. The all-weather fluid means temperature swings are not the limiting factor here; door width is.

2) Which side of the door does the LCN 4514T mount on?

Push side only. It mounts surface, on the stop face of the frame on the push side of the opening, so plan on the closer body sitting on the frame stop rather than on the door pull side. That mounting also needs 2-1/4 inches of clearance to work with, which is the number to check against your stop depth and any overhead stop or transom before you order.

3) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the LCN 4514T closer?

Yes, handing is a required selection on the 4514T, right hand or left hand. Unlike a tri-pack closer that can be flipped on the job, this one ships handed, so confirm the swing of your opening before the order goes in. Get it wrong and the closer will not mount on that door.

4) Is the LCN 4514T ADA compliant for opening force?

No. The 4514T is not an ADA compliant closer. It is a heavy duty security closer built for correctional and vandal-prone openings, where resistance matters more than a reduced opening force. If the opening is on an accessible route and has to meet barrier-free opening force, look at a barrier-free closer instead: the Cal-Royal 500S is a Grade 1 barrier free surface closer, and the Cal-Royal N900PBF is a Grade 1 barrier free unit in the 900 Series.

5) What makes the 4514T a high security closer instead of a standard commercial one?

Three things do the work. Forged steel double lever arms instead of cast aluminum arms, heavy gauge metal security covers over the body, and tamper-resistant regulating screws so the valves cannot be backed off by whoever is standing at the door. The fasteners are Torx machine screws, which is the other half of it, a standard screwdriver will not open the unit. That combination is aimed at correctional and institutional openings where the closer itself is a target.

6) Is the LCN 4514T Grade 1 and UL listed for a self-closing fire door?

The 4514T is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 and carries UL and cUL listing for self-closing doors. That is the pairing an inspector looks for on a labeled opening. It is a non-hold-open closer with no delayed action function, so it closes the door every cycle with nothing to defeat it.

7) Do I need a high security closer like this, or will a standard heavy duty closer do the job?

Ask whether the closer itself is going to get attacked. In a school corridor, an office entrance, or an apartment common door, a standard heavy duty Grade 1 closer is the right call, the BEST HD8000 Series, the Falcon SC71A, and the Sargent 281 cast iron unit all sit in that class. The 4514T earns its cost where residents or inmates have unsupervised access to the hardware: forged steel arms, metal security covers, tamper-resistant regulating screws, and Torx fasteners. On a normal commercial opening you are paying for vandal resistance you will never use, and giving up ADA opening force to get it.

8) Is the LCN 4514T the same thing as a standard heavy duty closer with a plastic cover?

No. The LCN 4514T is built for correctional and vandal-prone openings: heavy gauge metal security covers, tamper-resistant regulating screws, forged steel double lever arms, and Torx machine screw fasteners so the closer cannot be adjusted or opened with common tools. Standard heavy duty closers such as the BEST HD8000 Series, the Sargent 1431 Powerglide, or the Design Hardware 416 Series are heavy duty units without that security package. The Design Hardware 316 Series is supplied with a cover, and the Dexter DCH1000 Series is a Grade 1 tri-mount closer with a full cover, but a full cover and a security cover are different things - a cover conceals the body, while the 4514T package is meant to resist attack and unauthorized adjustment. If the specification says vandal resistant or detention, a covered standard closer does not satisfy it.

9) I need a Grade 1 closer that is ADA barrier free - the LCN 4514T is not. What should I use instead?

The LCN 4514T is a sized, heavy duty security closer and is not ADA compliant, so on an opening where the barrier free opening force governs, look to a Grade 1 barrier free model instead. The Cal-Royal 500S is a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check, and the Cal-Royal N900PBF from the 900 Series is a Grade 1 barrier free hydraulic surface closer. The Accentra 1101BF is a barrier free industrial closer with adjustable spring sizes 1 through 4 and tri-pack mounting. Calibre offers the CA9901, a Grade 1 tri-pack arm ADA surface closer in sizes 2-5, the CA4001 Grade 1 adjustable spring tension ADA closer, and the CA8001P Grade 1 parallel arm size 1 ADA closer. The Imperial USA TC4300 is a heavy duty ADA closer in sizes 1-6 if you want to stay at heavy duty while meeting the barrier free requirement.

10) The 4514T mounts on the push side. What Grade 1 closer should I look at for a pull side opening?

The LCN 4514T is a surface mount closer on the push side, stop face. For pull side mounting, the Corbin Russwin DC6200 Series is a Grade 1 surface closer with a double lever regular arm for pull side mounting, and the DC8200 Series is likewise a Grade 1 double lever regular arm closer for pull side. The Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a Grade 1 surface closer with slide track arm standard, also pull side mounting, and the Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty jamb track closer with frame face mounting on the pull side. If you would rather keep one part number across mixed openings, tri-mount closers such as the Dexter DCH4000 Series and the Norton Rixson 1601P cover regular, parallel, and top jamb mounting from one carton.

11) Is a Grade 2 closer like the Cal-Royal 400 an acceptable substitute for the LCN 4514T?

Not on a spec that calls for Grade 1. The LCN 4514T is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 with UL and cUL listing for self-closing doors. The Cal-Royal 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic closer, and the Falcon SC91A is a Grade 3 light duty cast aluminum closer - both sit below the 4514T on the certification level, so neither satisfies a Grade 1 line item. If the goal is a simpler Grade 1 closer rather than a lower grade, the Cal-Royal 700S is a Grade 1 dual valve sized closer with adjustable tube arm and the Cal-Royal 500S is a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check.

12) How far will a door with the 4514T closer swing open?

180 degrees, so the closer itself will not be what stops the door. On a push side stop face installation swinging that far, whatever is behind the door, wall, adjacent leaf, equipment, is what limits the swing, and an overhead or floor stop is what should catch it, not the closer arm. The 2-1/4 inch clearance dimension is what you check to be sure the body and arm clear the frame and any stop hardware.

13) Can I get the LCN 4514T to match the bronze hardware already on my building's doors?

Six powder coat finishes are offered on the 4514T: 689 aluminum, 690 statuary bronze, 691 light bronze, 693 gloss black, 695 dark bronze, and 696 brass. Three of those are bronze tones, so matching an existing bronze package usually comes down to picking between 690, 691, and 695 against the doors you already have. Powder coat holds up better against handling and cleaning than a plated finish, which matters on the kind of openings this closer goes on.

14) Is the LCN 4514T Buy American compliant for a federal or municipal job?

Yes, the 4514T is BAA qualified, which is what a government or municipal spec typically asks for. Paired with the ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 certification and the UL and cUL listing, it is the documentation set most public agency submittals want on a closer.

15) Will the 4514T hold a door open, or does it always close?

It always closes. There is no hold open arm and no delayed action on the 4514T, which is deliberate on a security opening, a door that can be propped by the closer is a door that defeats the lock. If you actually want hold open on a different opening, the Accentra 51 Series and the Orca BHDC1958HO are tri-packed hold open arm closers; for delayed action, the Orca BHDC1958DA and BHDC2011DA carry it.

16) What tools do I need to install and adjust the LCN 4514T?

Torx drivers. The 4514T uses Torx machine screws throughout and the regulating screws are tamper-resistant, so a standard flat or Phillips driver and a common hex key will not get you into the valves or the cover. Stock the right Torx bits before the crew goes out, and treat them as controlled if the reason you bought a security closer is that the building's occupants have time and motive.

17) I need to standardize closers across a correctional facility. Does the 4510T Series cover every opening?

Not by itself. The 4514T is a size 4, push side stop face closer for interior doors to 5'0", so it fits the bulk of cell fronts and corridor doors but not everything: any opening needing pull side mounting, hold open, delayed action, or ADA opening force falls outside it. Plan on the 4514T as the security baseline and specify a second closer for the accessible and administrative openings, a barrier free Grade 1 unit like the Cal-Royal 500S or an adjustable heavy duty unit like the BEST EHD9000 Series covers those. Handing is specified per opening on the 4514T, so build the door schedule with RH and LH counts before ordering.

18) The 4514T is a sized closer. What are the adjustable spring size alternatives if I want one model to cover several door widths?

The LCN 4514T uses sized cylinders, size 4 on the powder coat build, with a non-sized cylinder option adjustable for interior doors to 4'6" and exterior doors to 3'6". If you would rather stock one closer that spans a range of openings, the BEST EHD9000 Series is an extra heavy-duty surface closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-6, the Sargent 1431 Powerglide is a heavy-duty closer with adjustable spring power, and the Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty jamb track closer adjustable size 1-6. The Arrow DCN325 is a Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring size 1-6 in a tri-pack regular/parallel arm, and the Norton Rixson 8501A is a Grade 1 tri-mount closer with an adjustable size 1-6 spring. Choosing an adjustable-spring model trades away the security package the 4514T carries.

19) What is a lighter duty alternative to the LCN 4514T for an interior office door that does not need vandal resistance?

The LCN 4514T is a heavy duty commercial closer built for correctional and institutional traffic. On a low-traffic interior door with no security exposure, lighter Grade 1 options include the BEST SL6000 Series, a light duty Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring sizes, the Norton Rixson 160 Series light commercial surface closer with adjustable spring, and the Arrow DC314 from the DC300 Series, a light duty Grade 1 surface closer. The Falcon SC61A is light to medium duty Grade 1 in a cast aluminum body, and the BEST HD7000 Series is a medium duty Grade 1 closer with adjustable spring power and backcheck control. All are aluminum or lighter-bodied units rather than the cast iron cylinder and forged steel construction of the 4514T.

20) The 4514T has no delay function and no hold open. Which comparable closers offer those?

The LCN 4514T does not include a delayed action function. For openings that need a hold or a delay, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958DA/PA is a delayed action closer with regular arm and parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the BHDC2011DA/PA is the same delayed action arrangement in the BHDC2011 Series. For hold open, the Accentra 51 Series industrial closer is supplied with a tri-packed hold open arm in sizes 1-6, the Orca BHDC1958HO/PA is a hold open closer with parallel bracket, and the Stanley Security A45-501HL is a long hold open arm standard in a top jamb configuration. Delay and hold open are typically incompatible with the tamper-resistant intent of the 4514T, since both add user-accessible function to the door.

21) I am standardizing a school on one closer. Does the LCN 4514T work everywhere, or do I need a second model?

The LCN 4514T is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer for commercial use, sized for interior doors to 5'0" and exterior doors to 4'0", swinging to 180 degrees, with all-weather fluid for temperature extremes. It suits corridor, gym, and entry doors where abuse is expected. Because it is not ADA compliant, restroom and accessible-route doors typically need a barrier free model alongside it, such as the Cal-Royal 500S Grade 1 barrier free closer or the Calibre CA9901 Grade 1 tri-pack arm ADA closer in sizes 2-5. For low-abuse office and classroom doors, a medium duty Grade 1 unit like the Sargent 1131 or the Norton Rixson 1601P covers the traffic without the security package. A two-model program - the 4514T on abuse-prone openings and one barrier free Grade 1 model elsewhere - is the usual split.

22) Which closers compare to the LCN 4514T for an aluminum storefront or narrow stile door?

The LCN 4514T is a cast iron bodied security closer with 2-1/4 inch clearance, mounted surface on the stop face of the push side, and is intended for interior door service. For aluminum storefront work, the Norton Rixson 1600 Series aluminum storefront closer is a Grade 1 heavy duty unit with tri-style mounting, and the Sargent 1331 is a Grade 1 medium duty closer with a universal aluminum body. The Falcon SC81A is a Grade 1 medium duty cast aluminum surface closer. These aluminum-bodied models address the narrow rail and shallow reveal conditions typical of storefront, where the heavy iron security body of the 4514T is aimed at solid institutional openings instead.

23) I searched heavy duty door closers and got Stanley pivots and screws in the results. Do any of those replace an LCN 4514T?

No. The LCN 4514T is a surface mounted hydraulic door closer that controls the swing and self-closes the door. Items such as the Stanley Security 327 heavy wardrobe pivot for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors up to 150 lbs, the Stanley 341 wardrobe pivot for flush recessed or overlay doors from 1-1/8 to 1-3/8 inch, and the Stanley 57-0100 steel machine screws for architectural hinges are hanging hardware and fasteners, not closers - they carry the door or attach hinges and do nothing to control closing. The Arrow DCN500DP parallel drop plate is likewise a mounting accessory for the DCN500 rather than a closer in its own right. If you need self-closing performance, stay with a closer.

24) How does the LCN 4514T hold up in an unheated stairwell or an exterior vestibule in winter?

All-weather fluid is what carries it. The hydraulic fluid is formulated to keep closing speed consistent across temperature extremes, so a door will not slam in summer and stall short of the latch in a cold vestibule. The cylinder is high-strength cast iron with a one-piece forged steel piston and a double-heat-treated pinion, which is the wear package you want on an opening that cycles constantly.

25) The 4514T comes in six powder coat finishes. Which alternative closers cover a similar finish range for matching existing hardware?

The LCN 4514T is offered in powder coat finishes including 689 aluminum, 690 statuary bronze, 691 light bronze, 693 gloss black, 695 dark bronze, and 696 brass, which covers most standard architectural finish matches on an existing door schedule. Among the peers, the Dorma 7303 Series is a Grade 1 medium duty surface closer supplied in a painted finish, the Dorma 8616 AF86P FC SNB1 689 is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer with flat arm in 689, and the Dorma 8916-JT 689 is a Grade 1 heavy duty jamb track closer in 689. If the existing doors are all 689 aluminum, any of these will match; if the schedule runs bronze or black, the 4514T finish range is the broader field.
