Kawneer KW037885-17 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Kawneer KW037885-17 soffit plate used for?
It is the parallel arm soffit plate for a Norton 1600 Series door closer. In parallel arm mounting the closer body sits on the door and the arm runs back along the face of the door to the frame soffit, and the soffit plate is the piece that gives the arm its mounting surface under the frame head. Kawneer supplies it as a genuine service replacement part so an existing closer can be remounted without reworking the opening.
2) Will the KW037885-17 work with a Norton closer other than the 1600 Series?
No. The KW037885-17 is specified for the Norton 1600 Series in parallel arm mounting only. Soffit plate hole patterns and arm geometry differ between closer families, so if the closer on the door is another Norton series, this plate is the wrong part and you need the soffit plate called out for that series.
3) Is this a regular arm bracket or a parallel arm part?
Parallel arm. The plate supports a parallel arm installation, where the arm lies along the door face rather than projecting out perpendicular as a regular arm does. If the closer on your door is mounted regular arm or top jamb, a parallel arm soffit plate will not be the bracket you are missing.
4) Do I need to drill or modify the frame to install this soffit plate?
No modification is intended. Kawneer builds the KW037885-17 to OEM dimensions as a drop-in replacement, so it restores the original parallel arm mounting on a compatible assembly as-is. If the existing plate was previously field-modified or the frame prep was altered, check the prep against the new plate before you set it.
5) I manage a property with Kawneer aluminum entrances. Can I stock this plate as a spare for closer service calls?
Yes, that is exactly what it is. KW037885-17 is a Kawneer service replacement part, so it is meant to be carried as a spare for restoring parallel arm closer mounting on Norton 1600 Series installations across a building. Confirm the closers on your openings are 1600 Series before standardizing on it, since the plate is series-specific.
6) What finish does the Kawneer KW037885-17 come in?
Clear Aluminum, which is the standard mill-look finish on Kawneer aluminum entrance systems, so it blends with clear anodized storefront framing. One configuration is offered under model KW037885-17, so there is no finish or hand to select when ordering.
7) Is this part rated for commercial traffic or is it a residential item?
It is a commercial door hardware part, catalogued for use on Norton 1600 Series closer assemblies in offices, schools, healthcare facilities, retail, government buildings, warehouses, and multi-tenant entrances. It is not a light-duty residential accessory.
