closer arm for wide throw hinge

[michaelhatfield]

Trapped again. i have to alter an existing door by adding a wide-throw continuous hinge to achieve a 180 degree opening. can I simply change the arm on my LCN 4040 XP closer to accommodate this. If so, which arm? My closer is 4041XP (push side)

Welcome

How did you find us?

Wait a day or two and you should have an answer

Take a look at the EDA arm option ... Looks like it would do it, but require a complete remount to get the 180 opening.

Hi Michael -

Do you know where the closer is currently mounted on the door? How far from the edge of the door to the first screw?

The centerline of the pivot point from the door stop is 9-1/4" on the frame. The centerline of the of the pivot point on the door is 10-1/4".

closer arm

I do not know what to say about the arm location. I have an EDA arm but since I also have an overhead stop I am guessing that the closer was templated for 110 degrees like the oh stop. make sense? The wide throw continuous hinge I am going to have to use looks like a ROTON 780-235, which will throw the door out 2-3/4" +/- at 180 degrees. So first, I need an arm.

And second I was asked if the door could stay open. I cried.

Hi Michael -

I talked to LCN about this. There is a special arm available (special template ST-2481) for use on a door with a 4041XP and wide-throw hinges. The wild card is the overhead stop. Your best bet is to call LCN Engineering and ask for Giles. The number is 877-671-7011 - option 2 for tech support, and option 4 for LCN.

I'm happy to keep working through it with you, but I think you'll get a faster answer if you cut out the middle-man.
