Norton Rixson 9588-690 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a narrow top rail drop plate for on a door closer installation?
A drop plate gives the closer body a mounting surface when the door's top rail is too narrow to take the closer directly. The Norton Rixson 9500 Series narrow top rail drop plate is made for exactly that situation, doors with limited headroom above the opening, and it mounts for parallel arm or push side track configurations. Without it, a narrow rail leaves nowhere to land the closer's mounting holes.
2) Does the Norton Rixson 9500 drop plate fit any brand of door closer?
It is an accessory for compatible Norton Rixson 9500 Series door closers, not a universal plate. Hole patterns on drop plates are specific to the closer body they serve, so match the plate to the closer family already on the door rather than assuming it crosses to another maker.
3) What finish does the 9500 Series narrow top rail drop plate come in?
It is offered in 690 Dark Bronze. If the closer and the rest of the trim on the opening are dark bronze, the plate will read as part of the same set; on aluminum or brass openings the plate will stand out.
4) I am standardizing closers across a building. When do I need to add a drop plate to the order?
Add one wherever the door's top rail is too shallow to take the closer body, or where a transom or frame condition leaves too little headroom. On those openings the plate is what makes the parallel arm or push side track mounting possible. Openings with a normal wide top rail do not need it, so it is an opening-by-opening call rather than a blanket add to every closer.
5) Do I have to drill the drop plate on site?
The plate comes pre-drilled, so installation is a matter of aligning it to the closer's mounting pattern and fastening it to the top rail or frame face. That keeps the closer square, which is what stops the arm binding once the door is swinging.
6) Is this drop plate suitable for a high traffic commercial entrance?
Yes. It is a commercial-rated accessory built from high-strength, corrosion-resistant material, and it is used in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential and government buildings. Low maintenance once mounted, which matters on an opening you do not want to revisit.
