LCN 4040XP-18 Drop Plate for Regular Arm Door Closer Installation
The LCN 4040XP-18 Drop Plate solves a specific field problem: when a door's top rail is too narrow for a standard regular-arm closer mount. If the top rail measures less than 3-3/4" (95 mm) — but at least 2" (51 mm) — this drop plate repositions the closer to achieve proper geometry and full arm travel. Without it, the closer either can't be mounted or will bind. It is designed for hinge-side regular-arm installations on LCN 4000 Series door closers, including the 4040XP.
