Sargent 281B EAB – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Sargent 281B EAB mounting plate used for?
It is an installation accessory for Sargent 281 Series door closers, used when the closer is mounted top jamb on a frame with low overhead clearance. The plate gives the closer body a proper mounting surface where a standard top jamb installation will not fit under the ceiling or soffit. It is the mounting hardware only, not a closer.
2) Will the Sargent 281B EAB plate work with any brand of door closer?
No. The 281B EAB plate is built for the Sargent 281 Series closer family and its hole pattern matches that closer. If you are mounting a different Sargent series or another manufacturer's closer, order the plate specified for that closer instead.
3) Do I need a top jamb low ceiling plate, or will a standard top jamb install work?
You only need the low ceiling plate when the header or soffit above the frame does not leave enough room for the closer in its normal top jamb position. If you have full clearance above the frame, mount the 281 Series closer conventionally. The 281B EAB is the fix for restricted overhead clearance, which is why it shows up on low-ceiling entries, non-standard frame conditions, and low-profile door hardware jobs.
4) Does the 281B EAB come with the door closer, arm, or screws?
The 281B EAB is the mounting plate by itself. The closer body, arm, and any trim you need for the opening are ordered separately as 281 Series items.
5) Is the Sargent 281B mounting plate rated for commercial door traffic?
It is a commercial-grade part, listed for commercial rather than residential use, and is used on office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, government buildings, retail, multi-tenant residential, and industrial doors.
6) What finish does the Sargent 281B EAB plate come in for matching other hardware?
It is offered in a single brass finish, cataloged as 04 Satin Brass, Clear Coated, so it coordinates with brass-finish closers and trim on the same opening. There is no other finish choice on the 281B EAB.
