Norton Closers 1618A689 Soffit Plate Aluminum

Product Description

The NORTON CLOSERS 1618A689 is a standard soffit plate designed for use with non hold open door closers. The soffit plate provides a solid mounting surface between the door closer body and the overhead soffit or frame, ensuring stable, secure installation. Measuring 4.8 inches in length, 4.1 inches in width, and 2.6 inches in height, it is sized for typical commercial door closer applications. Weighing 0.95 pounds, the aluminum finish construction keeps the hardware lightweight without sacrificing structural integrity. Licensed door hardware technicians and commercial contractors install this component as part of a complete closer assembly.

This soffit plate is used in commercial and institutional door openings where a door closer requires overhead soffit mounting. It is intended for non hold open closer configurations, making it appropriate for doors that must return to a fully closed and latched position after each use. Common install scenarios include corridor doors, office entries, and stairwell doors in commercial buildings where code-compliant door control is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed door hardware technician or qualified commercial contractor. Before servicing or replacing the soffit plate, ensure the door closer arm is fully disengaged and the closer body is supported to prevent it from dropping. Use appropriate fasteners rated for the substrate material, whether steel frame or wood. Refer to local building codes and the door closer manufacturer installation instructions for fastener spacing and mounting requirements.
