Design Hardware DH-416-TJ-2-DP-AL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 416 drop plate work with a closer from another brand?
No. This is a 416 Series part, and drop plates are drilled to one manufacturer's closer footprint. If you're servicing a Corbin Russwin closer you need their part, for example the 188F65 drop plate for the DC3220 with full cover or the 597F58 for the DC3210 with full cover.
2) I'm doing a parallel arm install and the closer won't sit flat on the door. Is this the part I need?
That's exactly the case this covers. The 416 PA drop plate is intended for parallel arm mounting where the top rail or stop face is too shallow for the shoe or body. It gives you 3-9/16 inches of plate height to pick up fasteners outside the narrow area.
3) What is the Corbin Russwin equivalent of the Design Hardware 416-TJ-2-DP drop plate?
The closest Corbin Russwin drop plates are the 188F65, a Grade 1 drop plate for the DC3220 closer with full cover, and the 597F58, a Grade 1 drop plate for the DC3210 with full cover in the DC3000/DC50000 series. Both are listed with a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The difference is fit: the 416-TJ-2-DP is a 3-9/16 inch tall drop plate made for the Design Hardware 416 series closer, while the Corbin Russwin plates are drilled to their own closer bodies, so pick the plate that matches the closer already on the door rather than mixing brands.
4) What finishes does the 416-TJ-2-DP center mount plate come in?
Two: aluminum painted and dark bronze painted. Pick the one that matches the closer body already on the opening, since the plate sits right under it and a mismatch is visible from the corridor.
5) Can I order just the drop plate, or does it come with a closer?
It's sold as a replacement part on its own. If you're building a complete opening you order the 416 Series closer separately; this covers the case where the plate is damaged, missing, or was never supplied on the original install.
6) I need a part for a top jamb closer install - is a drop plate the right thing or do I need an arm?
They do different jobs. The 416-TJ-2-DP is a 3-9/16 inch tall drop plate, a mounting adapter that gives the closer body a landing surface when the frame face or door top rail is too narrow. If what you actually need is the linkage between closer and frame, that is an arm assembly - for example the Corbin Russwin 688F95, a Grade 1 regular arm for top jamb mounting, or the 688F77 regular arm with hold-open. A drop plate will not replace a broken or missing arm.
7) If I want hold-open on the door, does ordering a drop plate get me there?
No. The 416-TJ-2-DP is a mounting plate only and does not change how the closer behaves. Hold-open comes from the arm or closer function - the Corbin Russwin 688F77, for instance, is a regular arm with hold-open, while the 688F95 is a regular arm for top jamb without it. Order the plate for mounting clearance and the arm for the hold-open feature.
8) We standardize on Grade 1 closer hardware - how does the Design Hardware 416 drop plate compare?
The Corbin Russwin 188F65 and 597F58 drop plates are both identified as Grade 1 parts for their DC3000 series closers. The Design Hardware 416-TJ-2-DP is a standard duty part in the 416 series, supplied in aluminum painted and dark bronze painted finishes. For a facility standardized on Grade 1 DC3220 or DC3210 closers, the matching Corbin Russwin plate is the one that fits those bodies; the 416 plate belongs with 416 series closers.
9) Is this drop plate rated for heavy commercial traffic?
It's a standard duty part, sized to the 416 Series closer it mounts. For a high-abuse opening you'd be specifying a heavier closer line, and the drop plate has to match that closer, not this one.
