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 999023689 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the PDQ 999023 drop plate used for?
The 999023 is a top jamb drop plate (DPTJ) for PDQ door closers. A top jamb drop plate mounts on the face of the frame head and lowers the closer body so it clears conditions where there isn't enough flat frame face to mount the closer directly. It's a genuine PDQ part, number 999023.
2) Do I need a top jamb drop plate or a parallel arm drop plate for my PDQ closer?
It depends on how the closer is mounted. The 999023 DPTJ is the top jamb version, for a closer mounted on the frame face above the door. If your closer body mounts on the door with the arm running back to the frame soffit, that's parallel arm mounting and you need PDQ's parallel arm drop plate instead. PDQ catalogues both top jamb and parallel arm drop plates for these closers.
3) I manage a building with PDQ closers on steel frames with narrow heads. Will a drop plate solve my mounting problem?
A top jamb drop plate like the 999023 handles the case where the frame head has too little flat face for the closer shoe. It will not help with a blade stop or a narrow frame in parallel arm mounting. For those, PDQ lists a blade stop spacer, which shims parallel arm brackets to clear a 1/2 inch blade stop, and the NFB narrow frame bracket, which must be used with the spacer in narrow frame applications.
4) Does the PDQ 999023 drop plate come with mounting screws?
The 999023 is sold as the plate itself, in your choice of finish. PDQ offers 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. Order the screw pack alongside the plate if you don't already have fasteners on hand.
5) What finishes does the PDQ 999023 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 is appended to the base part number, so an aluminum plate orders as 999023689 and the black as 999023693. Pick the code matching the closer and cover already on the opening so the plate doesn't stand out.
6) Can I use a regular arm closer with the 999023 top jamb drop plate?
Yes. PDQ's Regular Arm and Hold Open Arm can be mounted regular, top jamb or parallel arm, so either works in a top jamb installation using the DPTJ plate. The Extra Duty Arm, Door Saver Arm, Door Saver Hold Open Arm and Extra Duty Hold Open Arm are parallel arm only, so they do not pair with a top jamb mount.
7) Is the PDQ 999023 drop plate a commercial-grade part?
Yes, it's catalogued as commercial door hardware, meant for PDQ's commercial 5100, 5300 and 5500 Series closers rather than residential closers.
