LCN 1460-18PA-689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) When do I need the LCN 1460-18PA drop plate for a parallel arm closer?
You need the 18PA drop plate whenever you're mounting an LCN 1460 closer parallel arm and the door's top rail measures less than 4-3/8 inches (111 mm) from the stop. Below that, there isn't enough rail face to land the closer body where the parallel arm geometry needs it, so the plate drops the mounting point down onto the door. If your top rail is 4-3/8 inches or more from the stop, you don't need the plate at all.
2) What is the minimum top rail the LCN 1460 drop plate can be installed on?
1-3/4 inches (44 mm) is the floor. The 1460-18PA drop plate needs at least that much top rail to have a mounting surface to bear against. Doors with a narrower rail than 1-3/4 inches, common on aluminum storefront and full-glass entries, can't take this plate, and the closer has to be mounted another way, typically top jamb or with a bracket suited to the frame.
3) Will the LCN 1460-18PA drop plate work with a regular arm or top jamb mounted closer?
No. The 18PA is specific to parallel arm mounting on the LCN 1460 Series. It solves a parallel arm problem, the closer body sitting on the door face under a short top rail. Regular arm and top jamb installs put the body in different places and take different plates. Order the plate that matches the mounting you're actually doing.
4) Is the 1460-18PA a whole closer or just the mounting plate?
Just the plate. The 1460-18PA is a replacement part, a flat drop plate that mounts to the door and gives the closer body a landing point. You order the LCN 1460 closer and its parallel arm separately. If you're replacing a damaged plate on an existing install, this is the part on its own; if you're doing a new opening with a short top rail, you need both.
5) How do I measure my door to know whether I need the 18PA plate?
Measure the top rail from the stop down to the bottom edge of the rail on the push side, since that's the face a parallel arm closer body mounts to. Under 4-3/8 inches (111 mm) means you need the 1460-18PA. Under 1-3/4 inches (44 mm) and the plate won't fit either, so the parallel arm approach is out for that opening. Between those two numbers is exactly what the plate is for.
6) What finishes does the LCN 1460 parallel arm drop plate come in?
Six: 689 aluminum, 690 statuary bronze, 691 light bronze, 693 gloss black, 695 dark bronze, and 696 brass. If you're adding closers to a building that already has LCN hardware, match the plate finish to the closer cover you're installing, not to the door, since the plate sits directly under the closer body and reads as part of it.
7) Is the LCN 1460 drop plate ADA compliant for an accessible opening?
Yes, the 1460-18PA is listed as ADA compliant, so using it to mount a parallel arm closer on a short top rail doesn't take the opening out of compliance. The plate is a mounting accessory though, it doesn't set opening force or closing speed. Those come from how the 1460 closer itself is sized and adjusted on the door.
8) Can I use the LCN 1460 drop plate on a door in an apartment building or a school?
It's a commercial-duty part, and the 1460 Series is used across office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouse, multi-tenant residential, and government facilities. For a property manager standardizing a building, the plate matters only on the openings with a short top rail, the rest of the doors take the closer directly, so you buy plates by opening rather than by the door count.
