Lcn 146018DKBRZ Drop Plate 1460 Series Dark Bronze

Product Description

The LCN 146018DKBRZ is a hinge side mount drop plate designed for use with LCN 1460 Series door closers. This drop plate accommodates two distinct mounting conditions: top rail installations where the rail is less than 2.5 inches, and top jamb installations where the head frame is less than 1.75 inches. The plate provides a secure, correctly positioned mounting surface so the closer operates at the proper geometry. It ships in a 695 Dark Bronze finish, matching standard commercial hardware finishes common in institutional and commercial door applications. Installation requires basic hand tools and is performed by a qualified door hardware technician or locksmith.

This drop plate is suited for commercial and institutional environments where LCN 1460 Series closers are specified, including schools, hospitals, government buildings, and similar high-traffic facilities. It is used when standard parallel arm or regular arm mounting is not feasible due to narrow top rails or head frames, allowing the closer to be correctly positioned on the hinge side of the door without compromising function or code compliance.

• Hinge side mount configuration for 1460 Series door closers
• 695 Dark Bronze finish for consistent aesthetic with commercial hardware

Compatibility

Designed for use with LCN 1460 Series door closers in hinge side mount applications requiring a drop plate for narrow top rail or top jamb conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed door hardware technician or qualified locksmith familiar with ADA and local building code requirements for door closer mounting. Power down any electrified hardware associated with the door assembly before beginning work. Confirm the top rail or head frame dimension falls within the specified ranges before selecting this plate, as using an incorrect drop plate will misalign the closer arm and affect door sweep and latching. Follow the LCN 1460 Series installation template for fastener placement.
