LCN 1460 Parts: The Complete Identification and Ordering Guide

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.

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. Browse all LCN 1460 parts on Security Parts or use the category sections below to find the exact part you need.

 

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.

Part NumberDescriptionNotes
1461-3071Cylinder AssemblyStandard replacement for most 1460 series closers
1461-3071DELCylinder Assembly with DelayAdds delayed closing action; useful for accessibility compliance
1460-159Arm ScrewSecures the arm to the cylinder spindle
1460-30AMounting BracketBracket component for cylinder installation
1460-146Shaft CoverCovers the spindle shaft on the closer body

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

1460-3077SCNSSpring CUSH Arm
1460-3077CNSCUSH Arm
1460-77Arm and Forearm
1460-77HDHeavy Duty Arm and Forearm

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

1460-3048Head and Tube Assembly
1460-3048LHead and Long Tube Assembly
1460-49Hold-Open Main Arm

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.

Part NumberDescription
1460-3049Hold Open Arm
1460-3049LHold Open Long Arm
1460-3049/PAHold Open Arm with PA
1460-3049SCNSHold Open Spring CUSH Arm
1460-3049EDAHold Open Extra Duty Arm
1460-3049EDA/GHold Open Extra Duty Arm with 62G
1460-3049CNSHold Open CUSH Arm

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.

Part NumberDescriptionNotes
1460-72Standard CoverCovers the closer body only
1460-72DS1Designer Series CoverRefined profile for architectural applications
1460-72FCFull CoverCovers both the closer body and the arm; requires 1460-18FC drop plate

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.

Part NumberDescriptionWhen to Use
1460-SRTSelf Reaming and Tapping ScrewsMetal hollow core doors
1460-WMSWood and Machine Screws PackSolid wood doors and wood frames
1460-TORXTORX Screw PackTORX fastener applications
1460-TBSRTThrough Bolt Self Reaming and Tapping ScrewsThrough-bolt installation on metal doors
1460-TBWMSThru Bolt Wood and Machine Screws PackThrough-bolt installation on wood doors
1460-TBTRXThrough Bolt TORX Screw PackThrough-bolt installation with TORX fasteners

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.

Part NumberDescriptionConfiguration
1460-18Mounting PlateStandard installation
1460-18DSMounting Plate (Designer Series)Standard installation, designer series profile
1460-18FCDrop PlateRequired for full cover (1460-72FC) installations

1460-18PADSMounting Plate (Parallel Arm, Designer Series)Parallel arm, designer series profile
1460-18PAFCMounting Plate (Parallel Arm, Full Cover)Parallel arm with full cover

 

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.

Part NumberDescriptionUse Case
1460-3373Adaptor KitRetrofit to accommodate non-standard hole patterns
1460-30CUSH Shoe SupportSupport bracket for CUSH arm shoe
1460-61Blade Stop SpacerPositions the stop correctly on blade stop installations
1460-419Flush Panel AdaptorAllows installation on flush panel doors

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the LCN 1460 and 1461?

The LCN 1460 is the standard surface-mounted door closer in this series. The 1461 is an economy version of the same closer with a simplified design. Both share the same eight-sided star spindle fitting, but the 1461 is typically offered at a lower price point with fewer mounting and arm options.

What makes the LCN 1460 spindle fitting unique?

The LCN 1460 uses an eight-sided star spindle fitting. This design is specific to the 1260 and 1460 series and is not interchangeable with the spindle fittings on other LCN door closer series. When ordering arms or head and tube assemblies, confirm compatibility with this specific fitting.

Can I still get parts for an LCN 1460 door closer?

Yes. Replacement parts for the LCN 1460 remain available even though the complete unit may no longer be in production. Parts including arms, cylinder assemblies, covers, screw packs, and mounting plates are stocked and available to order. Keeping an existing 1460 in service with replacement parts is often more cost-effective than a full unit replacement.

Does the LCN 1460 support tri-pack mounting?

Yes. The LCN 1460 and 1461 series support tri-pack mounting, which gives installers the flexibility to mount the closer in regular arm, parallel arm, or top jamb configuration using a single package. This is the same tri-pack capability shared by the LCN 4040XP, 1260, 1261, 4030, and 4031 series.

What is the LCN 1461-3071 cylinder assembly?

The 1461-3071 is the standard cylinder assembly for the LCN 1460 series. It contains the hydraulic mechanism that controls door closing speed and latching action. If the closer leaks fluid, loses closing force, or fails to latch properly after adjustment, the cylinder assembly is typically the component to replace.

What is the difference between the 1460-3077 and 1460-3077HD arms?

The 1460-3077 is the standard regular arm for the LCN 1460. The 1460-3077HD is the heavy-duty version designed for high-traffic or high-abuse applications where the standard arm may bend or wear faster. For doors that see constant use or require extra leverage, the HD arm is the better choice.

What LCN 1460 screw pack do I need?

The right screw pack depends on your door and frame material and mounting method. The 1460-SRT (self reaming and tapping) works for metal doors. The 1460-WMS (wood and machine screws) is for wood doors. The 1460-TORX pack is for TORX fastener applications. Through-bolt versions (1460-TBSRT, 1460-TBWMS, 1460-TBTRX) are used when the door thickness and mounting require through-bolt installation.

What mounting plates are available for the LCN 1460?

There are six mounting plates for the LCN 1460 series. The 1460-18 is the standard plate. The 1460-18DS is for designer series applications. The 1460-18FC is a drop plate for use with the full cover. The 1460-18PA, 1460-18PADS, and 1460-18PAFC are parallel arm versions of each, matching standard, designer series, and full cover configurations respectively.

What covers are available for the LCN 1460?

The LCN 1460 offers three cover options. The 1460-72 is the standard cover. The 1460-72DS1 is the designer series cover with a more refined appearance. The 1460-72FC is the full cover, which conceals the arm as well as the body of the closer. Full cover installations require the matching 1460-18FC drop plate.

What is the LCN 1460-3373 adaptor kit used for?

The 1460-3373 adaptor kit is a retrofit accessory that allows the LCN 1460 to be installed in applications where standard mounting does not fit the door or frame configuration. If you are replacing an older closer with an LCN 1460 and the mounting holes do not align, this adaptor kit bridges the gap without requiring new holes to be drilled in the door or frame.
