Kawneer KW037885-40 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Kawneer KW037885-40 soffit plate actually do on a door closer install?
It is the soffit plate for a parallel arm mounted closer. The plate mounts to the underside of the frame head (the soffit) and gives the parallel arm bracket its mounting point, so the closer arm runs back along the face of the door instead of projecting out. Kawneer supplies the KW037885-40 as a service replacement part when the original plate is missing, damaged, or the closer is being remounted parallel arm.
2) I have a Norton 1600 mounted regular arm. Do I need this plate?
No. A soffit plate is only used for parallel arm mounting, where the arm attaches to the frame soffit. Regular arm and top jamb installations mount differently and don't call for this plate. Order the KW037885-40 only if the closer is going on, or is already on, as a parallel arm.
3) What finish is the Kawneer KW037885-40 and will it match my existing hardware?
Dark Bronze, pre-finished from the factory so it coordinates with Dark Bronze closers and architectural hardware on the same opening. If your storefront line and closer covers are aluminum or clear anodized, this plate will read noticeably darker.
4) Is this a genuine Kawneer part or an aftermarket copy?
It is supplied under the Kawneer service parts program as an authentic replacement component, built to the fit and finish standards of the original hardware. For a property manager keeping a building's Kawneer entrances consistent, that matters more on a soffit plate than most parts, since the hole pattern has to land on the existing frame prep.
5) Does the KW037885-40 come with the closer or the parallel arm?
No. It is the soffit plate alone, sold as a replacement part. If your closer body or arm is also damaged, those are ordered separately as Norton 1600 Series components. Mounting screws for the frame are not called out as included either, so have fasteners on hand for the field condition.
6) Is the KW037885-40 soffit plate rated for commercial traffic doors?
Yes. It is specified as a commercial component for commercial door hardware installations, the kind of service part used in offices, schools, healthcare facilities, retail, and government buildings maintaining Norton 1600 Series closers.
7) Do I order more than one soffit plate for a pair of doors?
One plate serves one closer. A pair of doors with a closer on each leaf needs two KW037885-40 plates. It ships as a single item per SKU.
