Dexter Commercial DCL2000PDP18PA695 Parallel Arm Drop Plate

Product Description

The DEXTER COMMERCIAL DCL2000PDP18PA695 is a parallel arm drop plate designed for use with the DCL2000 series door closer, finished in dark bronze. This mounting plate provides the correct geometry for a parallel arm installation, positioning the closer arm so the door can swing freely without obstruction. At 15.4 inches long, 5 inches wide, and 0.1 inches thick, it is a low-profile steel-style plate that mounts to the door face or frame depending on configuration. Locksmiths, door hardware installers, and commercial construction crews install this component as part of a complete closer assembly on commercial-grade door openings.

This drop plate is intended for commercial door closer installations where a parallel arm bracket is required. It pairs with the DCL2000 series closer and suits interior commercial doors in offices, schools, retail spaces, and similar Grade 1 or Grade 2 hardware applications. The dark bronze finish coordinates with standard commercial door hardware finishes common in those environments. It is sold individually and is appropriate for new installations or replacement of a damaged or missing bracket on an existing DCL2000 closer setup.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified door hardware technician familiar with commercial closer systems. Secure the door in an open or propped position before mounting the drop plate to prevent uncontrolled door movement during installation. Fastener selection should suit the door material and substrate thickness. Verify arm geometry and closer adjustment after installation to confirm proper door sweep and latching speed per the closer manufacturer guidelines.
