Sargent 281B EP – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Sargent 281B mounting plate actually do on a door closer installation?
The 281B is a mounting plate for top jamb door closer installations where there isn't enough headroom above the frame for a standard top jamb mount. It gives the closer body a mounting surface on the frame face so the closer can sit lower and still line up properly. It is an installation accessory, not a closer, so you order it alongside the closer rather than instead of one.
2) Which Sargent closers does the 281B mounting plate work with?
It is made for Sargent 281 Series door closers as a direct-fit accessory. If your closer is from a different Sargent series or another manufacturer, this plate is not the part to order.
3) Do I need a drop plate or this top jamb low ceiling plate for my opening?
Two different problems. A drop plate is used when the door face doesn't give enough flat area for a regular pull side mount. The 281B addresses the opposite condition: you're mounting top jamb on the frame face and the ceiling or soffit above the frame is too low for the closer in its normal position. If your obstruction is overhead clearance on a top jamb install with a Sargent 281 closer, the 281B is the right plate.
4) What finish does the Sargent 281B mounting plate come in?
It ships in a bronze finish, listed as 10 Satin Bronze, Clear Coated, described as Sprayed Bronze. That's the only finish offered on the 281B EP, so if your other door hardware is aluminum or satin chrome, this plate won't match visually. On a top jamb mount the plate sits on the frame face where it is visible, so finish matters more here than on a concealed part.
5) I manage a building with several 281 closers. Can I standardize on the 281B plate across all the low ceiling openings?
Yes, where the openings share the same condition. The 281B is the 281 Series plate for top jamb mounting under restricted overhead clearance, and since it comes in one finish, sprayed bronze, every opening you use it on will match the next. Openings with normal headroom won't need the plate at all.
6) Is the Sargent 281B plate suitable for commercial traffic doors, or is it a residential part?
It is a commercial door hardware part, intended for the kinds of openings a 281 Series closer goes on: office entries, schools, healthcare corridors, retail and municipal buildings. It is not sold as a residential accessory.
