Kawneer KW037886-29 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What closer does the Kawneer KW037886-29 soffit plate work with?
The KW037886-29 parallel arm soffit plate is built for the Norton 1600 Series door closer. It is a Kawneer service part, so the fitment is to the Norton 1600 arm geometry in a soffit-mounted parallel arm setup. If your closer is a different Norton series or another brand, this plate is not the right piece.
2) Does the KW037886-29 plate provide hold open, or do I need a separate hold open arm?
Hold open is built into the plate itself. The KW037886-29 has an integrated hold open function, so the door can be parked in the open position without adding a separate hold open accessory. On a fire rated opening, hold open hardware is normally only permitted when tied to a release device, so check the opening's requirements before specifying it.
3) I need to replace a broken hold open bracket on a Kawneer door closer. Is this the right part to order?
If the opening runs a Norton 1600 Series closer in a parallel arm, soffit-mounted configuration and the failed piece is the hold open soffit plate, the KW037886-29 is the direct replacement. Confirm three things off the door before ordering: the closer body is a Norton 1600, the arm is parallel arm rather than regular arm, and the bracket fastens to the frame soffit rather than the door face. Any of those different and you need a different bracket.
4) What exactly is a parallel arm soffit plate and where does it mount?
A soffit plate is the mounting bracket the parallel arm of a door closer attaches to, fastened to the underside (soffit) of the frame head or transom bar rather than to the door face. The Kawneer KW037886-29 serves that role for a parallel arm installation, which keeps the closer body on the pull side of the door and the arm tucked against the frame. It is a bracket, not a closer, so the Norton 1600 closer body and arm are separate items.
5) Is the KW037886-29 a genuine Kawneer part or an aftermarket equivalent?
It is a genuine Kawneer service part, model KW037886-29, made to OEM standards. For anyone maintaining Kawneer aluminum entrances, that matters because the soffit plate has to index correctly to the frame prep and the Norton 1600 arm; an approximate aftermarket bracket usually means redrilling the transom bar.
6) What finish does the Kawneer KW037886-29 come in?
Black, factory applied, and that is the only finish offered for this part number. If your storefront framing and closer are in aluminum or dark bronze, the black plate will read as a contrast rather than a match, which matters most on exposed transom bar installs where the plate is visible from the pull side.
7) Is this plate suitable for a high traffic commercial entrance, or is it a residential part?
Commercial only. Kawneer catalogs the KW037886-29 as a commercial-grade replacement part, and it is aimed at office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, industrial facilities, multi-tenant residential common doors, and government buildings. Property managers standardizing entrance hardware across a portfolio can specify the same part on every opening running a Norton 1600 parallel arm soffit mount.
