Dexter Commercial DCL2000PDP18TJ689 Top Jamb Drop Plate

Product Description

The DEXTER COMMERCIAL DCL2000PDP18TJ689 is a top jamb drop plate designed for use with the DCL2000 door closer series, finished in aluminum. This mounting plate provides the structural interface between the door closer arm and the top of the door frame, enabling a top jamb installation configuration where a standard parallel arm or regular arm mount is not practical. At 15.5 inches in length, 5 inches in width, and 0.3 inches in thickness, the plate is low-profile and sized for standard commercial door frame applications. Weighing 1.7 pounds, it is a solid, single-unit hardware component intended for installation by locksmiths and commercial door hardware technicians.

This drop plate is used in commercial door closer installations where the DCL2000 closer must be mounted to the top jamb of the frame rather than the door face or header. This configuration is common in aluminum storefront frames, narrow stile doors, and retrofit applications where head room or door construction limits other mounting options. The aluminum finish coordinates with the DCL2000 closer for a consistent appearance in light commercial and institutional settings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician familiar with door closer mounting configurations. Prior to installation, ensure the door and frame are properly aligned and that any existing hardware is removed. Fastener selection should be appropriate for the frame material and construction type. Follow the door closer manufacturer's template instructions for correct hole placement and arm geometry.
