Sargent 281B ED – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Sargent 281B ED mounting plate actually do?
It is the mounting plate for a top jamb door closer installation, used with the Sargent 281 Series closer. It gives the closer body a secure attachment point on the frame face where the opening has low ceiling clearance and there isn't room for a standard top jamb mount. It is the plate only, not a closer.
2) Will the 281B ED plate work with a Sargent 351 or other closer series?
It is built for the Sargent 281 Series door closer family and is specified for that series. For any other Sargent closer series, order the mounting plate called out for that series instead.
3) I'm replacing a closer and the ceiling sits right on top of the frame. Is a top jamb plate like this the right approach, or should I mount differently?
Low overhead clearance is exactly the case this plate is made for. If your soffit or ceiling leaves no room above the frame face for a standard top jamb mount, the 281B ED plate lets you keep the closer on the frame face. If you have full clearance above the frame, you don't need the plate. And if the frame face is unusable altogether, the alternative is to move the closer to a regular arm (pull side) or parallel arm mount rather than top jamb.
4) Does the 281B ED come with the door closer, arm, or screws?
No. It is an installation accessory, the mounting plate on its own. The 281 Series closer body, arm, and the fasteners for the frame are ordered separately, so plan the closer and any drop plate hardware into the same order if you are building a complete top jamb install.
5) I manage a building with Sargent closers on several doors. Can I standardize on this plate across all of them?
Only on the openings that use 281 Series closers in a top jamb position with restricted overhead room. The plate is series-specific to the 281, so doors running a different Sargent closer series, or 281 closers mounted regular arm or parallel arm, need their own plate or no plate at all. Survey the frame face clearance opening by opening before buying in quantity.
6) Is this plate rated for commercial door traffic or is it a light duty part?
Sargent lists the 281B ED as a commercial part, built for commercial door closer service rather than residential use. It is a genuine Sargent door closer component for the 281 Series, so it carries the same duty intent as the closer it mounts.
