Norton Rixson 1699-689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does a Norton Rixson drop plate actually do, and do I need one for my closer install?
A drop plate is a mounting adaptor that gives a door closer a solid mounting surface when the frame face or door top rail does not give you enough room to land the closer body or shoe directly. The Norton Rixson drop plate is a retrofit adaptor for Norton Rixson 1600 Series door closers, letting you mount the closer on existing doors and frames without cutting new prep. If your existing opening already has the correct closer prep and enough flat mounting area, you do not need a drop plate.
2) Which door closers does the Norton Rixson drop plate work with?
It is made to pair with Norton Rixson 1600 Series door closers. It is an accessory, not a standalone part, so the closer itself, its arm and its mounting screws are ordered separately. Follow the closer's own installation instructions for hole locations, since the plate simply relocates the closer's mounting pattern onto the existing door or frame.
3) I manage a building with mixed-age doors. Can I standardize on 1600 Series closers without replacing frames?
That is exactly what this adaptor is for. It lets older doors and frames take Norton Rixson 1600 Series closers without extensive modification, so you can bring a mixed set of openings onto one closer model and one parts list. Typical uses are office, school, healthcare, retail and multi-tenant residential retrofits. Order one plate per opening that needs the adaptor, and confirm the closer mounting style (regular arm, top jamb or parallel arm) you intend to use at each door first.
4) What finish does the Norton Rixson 1600 Series drop plate come in?
One finish only: 689, aluminum painted. That is the standard commercial closer finish, so it will match the body of a 689 closer and blend on most aluminum storefront and hollow metal frames. If your other openings are brass, bronze or painted black, the plate will not match visually, though it is usually hidden behind the closer body and arm.
5) Will a Norton Rixson drop plate hold up in a wet or coastal environment?
The plate is made from high-strength, corrosion-resistant metal and is rated for commercial use, which covers exterior entrances, garages, pool corridors and similar damp locations where a plain steel bracket would rust through. It is built as a low-maintenance part for high-traffic openings.
6) Does the drop plate come pre-drilled, or do I have to lay out the holes myself?
It ships pre-drilled for mounting, so the closer pattern is already set and you are drilling only the door or frame side as needed. That keeps a retrofit down to a short downtime window on an occupied opening.
