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 719018689 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the PDQ 719018 drop plate used for on a door closer install?
The 719018 is the parallel arm drop plate (DPPA) for PDQ 7100 Series door closers. It drops the closer body down from the door face so a parallel arm mount can clear obstructions at the top of the door, typically a narrow top rail or stop condition that leaves no room to mount the closer flush. It is a mounting plate only, not an arm and not a closer.
2) Will the PDQ 719018 drop plate work on a 5100 or 3100 Series closer?
The 719018 is listed as the 7100 Series parallel arm drop plate. PDQ catalogs these accessory parts under the closer series they serve, and separate drop plates exist for the other families (5100, 5300, 5500 and 3100). If your closer is not a 7100, order the drop plate listed for that series instead.
3) Do I need a parallel arm bracket as well as the drop plate?
They are two different parts. The drop plate relocates the closer body; the parallel arm bracket is what the arm attaches to on the door face. PDQ lists the parallel arm bracket separately, and a regular arm or hold open arm mounted parallel arm requires that bracket. The extra duty, door saver, door saver hold open and extra duty hold open arms are parallel arm applications only.
4) What if I also have a 1/2 inch blade stop at the frame?
That is a separate part. PDQ's blade stop spacer shims the parallel arm bracket to clear a 1/2 inch blade stop. If the opening is also a narrow frame application, the NFB narrow frame bracket has to be used along with the spacer. The 719018 drop plate does not substitute for either one.
5) What finishes does the PDQ 719018 drop 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 the aluminum plate orders as 719018689 and the gold as 719018696. Match the code to the closer and cover already on the opening so the plate does not read as a mismatch above the door.
6) Are screws included with the PDQ 719018 drop plate, or do I order them separately?
PDQ lists matching screw packs for its mounting plates as separate items, along with self drilling self tapping screws, tamper resistant screws, and sex nuts and bolts for through bolting 1-3/4 inch doors. If you are through bolting or working on an abused opening, add the fastener pack to the order with the plate.
7) Is this the same as a top jamb drop plate?
No. PDQ lists top jamb and parallel arm drop plates as different parts, and the 719018 is the parallel arm version (DPPA) for the 7100 Series. If the closer body is mounted on the frame face rather than the door, you need the top jamb plate, not this one.
8) Is the PDQ 719018 a genuine PDQ part or an aftermarket plate?
It is a genuine PDQ part, manufacturer part number 719018, catalogued for commercial door hardware use. For a property manager standardizing closers across a building, that keeps the plate, arm and closer all on one manufacturer's part numbers.
