Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Blade Stop Spacer do?
The Blade Stop Spacer shims PDQ parallel arm brackets to clear a 1/2" blade stop. When a Blade Stop Spacer is used in a narrow frame application, the NFB Narrow Frame Bracket must also be used.
Which arms are for parallel arm mounting only?
PDQ lists the Extra Duty Arm, Door Saver Arm, Door Saver Hold Open Arm and Extra Duty Arm Hold Open as parallel arm (PA) applications only. The Regular Arm and Hold Open Arm can be mounted regular, top jamb or parallel arm, with a parallel arm bracket required for PA mounting.

PDQ 519018689 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the PDQ 519018 drop plate used for on a door closer?
The 519018 is PDQ's parallel arm drop plate (DPPA) for 5100 Series door closers. A drop plate lowers the closer body off the door's top rail so the shoe and arm still line up when there isn't enough flat surface or when the frame face interferes with standard parallel arm mounting. It's a genuine PDQ part, number 519018.
2) Will the PDQ 519018 drop plate work with a 5300 or 7100 Series closer?
No. PDQ lists 519018 specifically as the 5100 Series parallel arm drop plate. PDQ's replacement and accessory program covers the 7100, 5100, 5300, 5500 and 3100 Series closers, with each part listed under the closer series it serves, so for a 5300 or 7100 you need the drop plate assigned to that series rather than 519018.
3) Do I need screws with the PDQ 519018 drop plate, or are they included?
PDQ offers matching screw packs for its mounting plates as separate items, so plan on specifying the screw pack alongside the plate. The accessory program also includes self drilling self tapping screws, tamper resistant screws, and sex nuts and bolts for through bolting 1-3/4 inch doors if you're mounting into a hollow metal or wood door rather than tapping it.
4) I have a 1/2 inch blade stop on the frame. Is the drop plate what I need, or something else?
A blade stop is a different problem. For that condition PDQ offers a Blade Stop Spacer, which shims the parallel arm bracket out to clear a 1/2 inch blade stop. If the opening is also a narrow frame, the NFB Narrow Frame Bracket has to be used with the spacer. The 519018 drop plate addresses vertical clearance, dropping the closer below the top rail, not stop projection.
5) What finishes does the PDQ 519018 drop plate come in?
Four finishes: 689 aluminum, 693 black, 695 duro bronze and 696 gold. The finish code becomes part of the order number, so an aluminum plate is 519018689 and the black is 519018693. Match the code to the closer body and cover so the plate doesn't stand out under the arm.
6) Does the 519018 drop plate replace the parallel arm bracket on a PDQ 5100 closer?
No, they do different jobs and are ordered separately. The parallel arm bracket is what lets the arm mount in the PA position on the door's push side; the 519018 drop plate relocates the closer body itself lower on the door. PDQ lists back plates, top jamb plates, parallel arm drop plates and parallel arm brackets as distinct accessories, so a PA installation needing extra drop takes both.
7) Which PDQ closer arms require parallel arm mounting, and will they work with this drop plate setup?
PDQ lists the Extra Duty Arm, Door Saver Arm, Door Saver Hold Open Arm and Extra Duty Arm Hold Open as parallel arm applications only, so any of those are consistent with a parallel arm drop plate installation. The Regular Arm and Hold Open Arm can be mounted regular, top jamb or parallel arm, and need a parallel arm bracket for the PA position.
8) Is the PDQ 519018 drop plate suitable for a commercial opening?
Yes. PDQ catalogues 519018 as commercial door hardware, a closer arm or bracket accessory for its 5100 Series closers. It is a genuine PDQ part, so it carries the same finish codes used across the closer line for standardizing across a building's openings.
