How to:  What are the steps to adjust a door closer?

Facts: All LCN and FALCON door closers will have 3 regulating valves and a spring adjustment.  All closers with a "Delay" feature will have an additional 4th valve.  For specific instructions on your closer see Installation Instructions here.

Resolution:  Make adjustments below as required.

• Back Check Valve, (valve #1 as specified in instructions) controls the back check intensity (3/32 allen wrench). Back check is used to slow the door down if someone throws the door open, or if the wind were to catch the door, and blow it open. Back check is used to slow the door down, not to stop the door. If you have a windy environment, or abusive people, (prisons, schools, colleges etc.) you may want to set the back check a little stiffer than you would on a retirement home, hospital doors, day care, etc. Turning the valve clockwise will give you a stiffer back check. Turning the valve counter clockwise will give you a lighter backcheck. If the door must be stopped at a certain position, then a Cush arm can be used, or for more abusive applications, an overhead stop can be used.

• Main Speed Valve, (valve #2 as specified in instructions) controls the main closing speed of the door (3/32 allen wrench). The main speed is the area from the door in the wide open position down to the last 15°, or so, before the latch. Turning the valve clockwise will make the door close slower. Turning the valve counter clockwise will cause the door to close faster.

• Latch Speed Valve, (valve #3 as specified in instructions) controls the latch speed of the door (3/32 allen wrench). The latch speed is the last 15°, or so, of closing. Turning the valve clockwise will cause the door to latch slower, and more gently. Turning the valve counter clockwise will cause the door to latch faster, and more abruptly.

• Delayed Action Valve, controls delay time, on closers so equipped (3/32 allen wrench or flat blade screw driver - depending on closer series and age).  For closers installed to 90° template-- when the door is opened past approximately 70°, the closer will delay closing until it comes back to around 70°.  Turning the valve clockwise will cause the closer to delay longer (up to approximately 50 seconds). Turning the valve counterclockwise will cause the closer to delay for a shorter time (down to no delay).  Please note that the position that the delay will kick in is dependent upon what degree of opening the closer is installed too.  For example, closer installed to 180° template, delayed action will kick in only after the door is opened past approximately 95° and is available from approximately 120° to 90° position compared to if the closer was installed to 90° template then it would kick in when the is opened past approximately 70° and be available from 90° back down to approximately 70°.  Also, the Closer Spring Force can affect how much delay time can be achieved.  The weaker the closer spring force the more delay you can achieve, where as the stronger the closer spring force the less delay time you will have.  Closers set to a 5 or 6 spring size will have minimal to no delay time because of the stronger closing force. NOTE: During Delayed Action cycle, the door does not stay in one set spot for the delay time, it will still be in motion during the delay zone based on the delay setting.  

• Spring Adjustment, is located on the end of the spring tube (5/32 allen wrench). It is used to adjust the spring strength (force to close the door). Clockwise gives the closer more closing power (which also makes the door harder to open), and turning the screw counter clockwise, will give the door less closing strength (and makes the door easier to open).

A lock is any device which prevents access or use by requiring special knowledge or equipment. Mechanical locks are mechanical devices which secure an opening by keeping a door closed until a release mechanism is activated; usually a lever, knob, key, or thumbturn. 

There are several types of mechanical locks, but they all provide the same basic function - to secure a door. Typical uses and benefits of common types are listed below. 

Tubular Locks: a bored lockset whose latch or bolt locking mechanism is contained in the component installed into the edge bore

• Light to medium duty
• Light commercial and multi-family applications
• Pros - smaller rose (smaller footprint on face of door), available with decorative levers
• Cons - limited cylinder options (no small format interchangeable core option), weaker chassis than cylindrical lock, not available on thick doors, chassis is not serviceable

Falcon tubular locks: Y-Series

Cylindrical Locks: a bored lockset whose latch or bolt locking mechanism is contained in the portion installed through the cross-bore

• Medium, high to extra heavy duty
• Commercial, multi-family and institutional applications
• Pros - Heavy duty, unlimited cylinder options
• Cons - Large rose (larger footprint on face of door), limited lever designs

Interconnected Locks: a lockset whose trim provides a means of simultaneous retraction of two or more bolts which may also be operated independently

• Medium duty
• Commercial, government or multi-family applications
• Pros - meets codes for simultaneous retraction in multi-family
• Cons - Limited finishes, trim designs and functions

Deadbolt Locks: a lock with a bolt, which requires a deliberate action to extend, and which resists end pressure in the unlocking direction when fully extended

• Medium, high to extra heavy duty
• Commercial, multi-family and institutional applications
• Pros - Versatile options and grades
• Cons - No immediate egress, double cylinder functions can be a safety hazard

The use of a 62A Shoe (required) would be used to mount a 4040XP Parallel Arm  with a "SURFACE" GJ 70, 79, 81, 90, or 450 series stop. You would order the 4040XP with a Reg w/62A arm option.  This option became standard product on  3/22/21 and no longer requires an ST, which was ST2776.  The use of the 4040-62A shoe instead of the 4040-62PA shoe will drop closer down on the door so there is no conflict between the GJ and the closer.   

No "ST" is required to mount a 4040XP Rw/PA series closer with a "CONCEALED" GJ 100 or 410 series stop. If a 4040-18PA plate is used with a GJ100H. (must drill a clearance hole in plate for the "hold open knob" on the GJ100H)

ST-1630 is required when mounting a 4041 or 4040XP door closer regular (pull/hinge) side with a concealed GJ100 or GJ410 series over head stop. This ST requires the 4040XP-18TJ Drop plate, which must be order separately.
