Finding the right replacement part for an LCN 1460 door closer starts with knowing exactly which component needs to go. This guide covers all 52 parts available for the 1460 series, organized by category, with verified part numbers and direct links to each part.
Quick Answer
The LCN 1460 is a surface-mounted commercial door closer that uses an eight-sided star spindle fitting unique to the 1260 and 1460 series. Replacement parts, including arms, cylinder assemblies, covers, screw packs, and mounting plates, are available even though complete 1460 units may no longer be manufactured. Match the part category to the symptom: arms for bent or stripped hardware, cylinder assembly for fluid leaks or loss of closing force, covers for cosmetic replacement, and screw packs or mounting plates for reinstallation and frame repairs.
- 52 confirmed replacement parts are available for the LCN 1460 series.
- The 1460 uses a unique eight-sided star spindle fitting, shared only with the 1260 series.
- Three arm types are available: regular, hold-open, and extra-duty, each in standard and heavy-duty variants.
- Six screw packs cover SRT, WMS, and TORX fasteners in standard and through-bolt configurations.

- Six mounting plates cover standard, parallel arm, and full cover configurations in standard and designer series finishes.
What Is the LCN 1460 Door Closer?
The LCN 1460 is a surface-mounted commercial door closer designed for standard commercial doors. It mounts to the face of the door and frame using an arm that connects to a track or shoe. The closer uses hydraulic fluid to control the speed at which the door swings closed and latches.
One feature that sets the 1460 apart from other LCN series is its spindle fitting. The 1460 uses an eight-sided star fitting, which is specific to the 1260 and 1460 series. This design is not interchangeable with the round spindle used on the LCN 4040XP or the square spindle found on older series. Knowing this matters when ordering replacement arms, because an arm from a different LCN series will not fit.
The 1460 also supports tri-pack mounting, which means one unit can be installed in regular arm, parallel arm, or top jamb configuration. This flexibility makes it a practical choice for doors where the frame or door swing limits standard installation.
While complete LCN 1460 units may no longer be in active production, all 52 individual replacement parts remain available. Replacing a worn arm, a leaking cylinder, or a damaged cover is almost always less expensive than swapping out the entire closer.

What LCN 1460 Cylinder Assembly Parts Are Available?
The cylinder assembly is the core hydraulic unit inside the door closer body. It controls closing speed, backcheck, and latching. When a 1460 leaks fluid, loses its closing force, or can no longer be adjusted, the cylinder assembly is usually the part to replace.
The 1461-3071DEL cylinder assembly adds a delay feature that holds the door open for a set period before the hydraulic mechanism draws it closed. This is a common requirement in accessible entryways where users need extra time to clear the doorway. If you are not sure which cylinder your closer uses, check the diagram on the LCN 1460 Diagram 1 page for a visual reference.
What Arms, Rods, and Shoes Are Available for the LCN 1460?
The LCN 1460 offers more arm options than most commercial door closers in its class. Arms wear at the pinion, bend under heavy impact, or develop play in the pivot that causes the door to drift. Replacing just the arm is the fastest repair for most mechanical problems with the 1460.
All arms listed here use the eight-sided star spindle fitting specific to the 1460 and 1260 series. Do not substitute arms from the 4040XP or other LCN series.
Standard and Heavy-Duty Regular Arms
The heavy-duty arms (HD suffix) are built for high-traffic commercial doors, such as entrances to retail stores, schools, or medical facilities. If the standard arm shows bending or fatigue cracking at the pivot, upgrade to the HD version. The extra-duty arm (EDA suffix) goes further, designed for high-abuse applications where impact loads are expected regularly.
CUSH arms include a hydraulic cushion feature that slows the arm through part of the swing range, reducing noise and mechanical stress on the door and frame. The Spring CUSH (SCNS) version adds spring-assisted closing to the cushion function.
Rods, Shoes, and Individual Arm Components
On older LCN 1460 closers, the rod may need a hole drilled in the door or frame for proper alignment. If you are replacing a rod and shoe on a door where no hole exists from the original installation, the 1460-79LR long rod and shoe gives more reach to accommodate different door and frame configurations without drilling new holes.
See the LCN 1460 Diagram 2 for a visual layout of the arm assembly components.
What LCN 1460 Hold-Open Arms Are Available?
Hold-open arms allow the door to stay in an open position at a set angle rather than closing automatically. They are used in high-traffic service areas, storage rooms, and other locations where doors need to remain open during business hours.
The /PA suffix indicates the arm is configured for parallel arm mounting, where the closer body mounts on the push side of the door and the arm runs parallel to the door face. This is common on doors where there is not enough space on the pull side for a standard arm swing. For heavier doors or higher-abuse environments, use the EDA or SCNS hold-open variants.
What Cover Options Are Available for the LCN 1460?
The LCN 1460 offers three cover options. Covers protect the hydraulic body from dust and impact and affect the finished appearance of the closer. A cover replacement is the fastest cosmetic fix for a door closer with a damaged or discolored housing.
If you are installing the 1460-72FC full cover, you must also use the 1460-18FC drop plate. The full cover requires extra clearance between the closer body and the door face that the drop plate provides. Installing the full cover without the correct plate will result in misalignment and may prevent the cover from seating properly.
Which LCN 1460 Screw Pack Do I Need?
Selecting the correct screw pack depends on the door material and whether you are using standard or through-bolt mounting. Using the wrong fasteners is one of the most common causes of a closer working loose from the door face over time.
Through-bolt installation (TB prefix) is required when the door is too thin for standard screw depth or when the application demands a more secure mechanical connection. The through-bolt method runs fasteners completely through the door thickness and is common in high-security and high-traffic applications.
What Mounting Plates Are Available for the LCN 1460?
Mounting plates position the closer body at the correct height and angle relative to the door face and frame. The plate selection depends on whether you are using a standard, parallel arm, or full cover installation.
What Miscellaneous LCN 1460 Parts Are Available?
Beyond the main categories, the 1460 series includes several accessory and retrofit components that address specific installation requirements.
The 1460-3373 adaptor kit is particularly useful when replacing an older closer where the existing door or frame holes do not match the current 1460 mounting template. Instead of filling and redrilling, the adaptor bridges the gap and keeps the installation clean.
