LCN 4040XP-18PA 689 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the LCN 4040XP-18PA parallel arm drop plate used for?
This drop plate allows mounting of LCN 4040XP series door closers in parallel arm configuration. It provides the necessary mounting points when the door frame header lacks adequate depth or structural support for direct closer attachment.
2) Which door closers are compatible with this drop plate?
This drop plate is specifically designed for LCN 4040XP series door closers. Verify your closer model before ordering as mounting patterns vary between different LCN series.
3) What door handing considerations apply?
Check your door handing requirements carefully. The 18PA designation indicates specific handing compatibility. Verify left-hand or right-hand swing matches your application before installation.
4) What finish options are available?
LCN drop plates typically come in standard architectural finishes including aluminum, bronze, and painted options. Contact us to confirm available finishes for your specific project requirements.
5) What is the load capacity of this drop plate?
The drop plate is engineered to handle the full operating loads of LCN 4040XP series closers. Ensure adequate structural support in the mounting surface for proper load transfer.
6) Are there building code considerations for drop plate installations?
Drop plate installations must maintain closer performance per ADA and fire code requirements. Verify local codes allow parallel arm configurations in your specific application before proceeding.
7) What fasteners and accessories are included?
Check product specifications for included hardware. Most drop plates require separate fasteners sized for your mounting surface. Structural screws or bolts may be needed depending on installation.
8) How do you install a parallel arm drop plate?
Mount the drop plate securely to the frame header using appropriate fasteners. Attach the door closer to the drop plate per manufacturer template. Ensure proper alignment of the parallel arm to the door bracket.
9) What maintenance does the drop plate require?
Inspect mounting fasteners periodically for tightness. Check for any signs of loosening or structural stress. The drop plate itself requires minimal maintenance beyond keeping mounting points secure.
10) What are alternative mounting options to drop plates?
Consider top jamb mount if frame depth allows, or explore door closer models designed for surface mounting without drop plates. Frame reinforcement may eliminate need for drop plates in some cases.
11) How do field conditions affect drop plate performance?
Extreme temperatures and corrosive environments can affect mounting integrity. Use appropriate fasteners for your environment. Consider protective finishes in coastal or industrial applications.
12) What measurements are critical for proper fit?
Measure frame header depth and width carefully. Verify door thickness and swing clearance. Check manufacturer templates for exact mounting dimensions and required clearances before ordering.
