Dexter Commercial DCL2000PDP18TJ695 Top Jamb Drop Plate

Product Description

The DEXTER COMMERCIAL DCL2000PDP18TJ695 is a top jamb drop plate designed to mount the DCL2000 series door closer in a top jamb configuration. This bracket positions the closer arm and shoe correctly when the standard parallel arm or regular arm mount is not suitable for the opening. It ships with a dark bronze finish to match the DCL2000 closer hardware. Licensed locksmiths, door hardware installers, and commercial contractors install this plate during door closer upgrades or new commercial door installations. At 15.6 inches in length and 5 inches in width, the plate provides a stable mounting surface across the door frame head.

This drop plate is intended for commercial door openings where a top jamb installation is required, typically when the door stop is too narrow for a standard arm mount or when the architectural conditions of the frame dictate top jamb positioning. It is a direct accessory for the DCL2000 closer series and is finished in dark bronze to coordinate with matching hardware on commercial interior and entry doors.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified door hardware technician familiar with commercial door closer mounting configurations. Secure the drop plate to the door frame head using fasteners appropriate for the frame material, and verify that the closer arm geometry is correct for top jamb application before final tightening. Confirm the door and frame are square and that the closer body is properly aligned with the plate before cycling the door under load. Follow all applicable building and accessibility codes, including ADA closer force requirements where mandated.
