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 559008689 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the PDQ 559008 back plate used for?
The 559008 is a back plate (BP) for PDQ door closers, used where the mounting surface will not take the closer body directly. It's a genuine PDQ mounting plate, listed under the 5100 and 5500 Series closers. The plate alone is the order; PDQ sells matching screw packs for its mounting plates separately.
2) What finishes does the PDQ 559008 back plate come in, and how do I order the right one?
Four finishes: 689 aluminum, 693 black, 695 duro bronze and 696 gold. The finish code appends to the base number, so an aluminum plate orders as 559008689 and a black one as 559008693. Match the code to the closer and cover already on the door so the plate doesn't stand out.
3) Is a back plate the same thing as a drop plate for a PDQ closer?
No. PDQ lists back plates separately from top jamb and parallel arm drop plates, along with parallel arm brackets, a blade stop spacer and a narrow frame bracket for special mounting conditions. If your problem is clearing a stop or a shallow head rail, the drop plate or bracket is the part you want, not the 559008 back plate.
4) What fasteners do I need to through-bolt a PDQ closer on a 1-3/4 inch door?
PDQ offers sex nuts and bolts for through bolting 1-3/4 inch doors, plus screw packs, self drilling self tapping screws and tamper resistant screws. Those are ordered separately from the 559008 back plate, so add the fastener pack for your mounting condition when you order the plate.
5) Do I need a blade stop spacer along with my PDQ parallel arm bracket?
Only if a 1/2 inch blade stop is in the way. The PDQ blade stop spacer shims the parallel arm bracket to clear that stop. In a narrow frame application you must also use the NFB narrow frame bracket with the spacer.
6) Can I mount a PDQ regular arm in parallel arm position, or do I need a different arm?
The PDQ regular arm and hold open arm can be mounted regular, top jamb or parallel arm, but PA mounting requires a parallel arm bracket. The extra duty arm, door saver arm, door saver hold open arm and extra duty hold open arm are parallel arm only.
7) Is the PDQ 559008 back plate suitable for commercial openings?
Yes, PDQ catalogs the 559008 as commercial door hardware. It's a genuine PDQ replacement part, which matters on a building where the closers are already standardized on PDQ and you want the same plate on every opening.
