Sargent 281B EN – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Sargent 281B mounting plate used for?
The 281B is a mounting plate for top jamb door closer installations where ceiling clearance is tight. On a top jamb mount the closer body sits on the frame face above the door, and when the head clearance is short there isn't room for the standard configuration. The 281B gives you a mounting surface that makes that install work. It is part of Sargent's 281 Series door closer parts.
2) Do I need a 281B plate for a normal top jamb closer install?
No. On a standard top jamb install with normal head clearance the closer mounts to the frame face without it. The 281B is specifically for openings where low ceiling height restricts the standard mounting configuration. If you have the usual clearance above the door, order the closer and its standard hardware instead.
3) Will the Sargent 281B work with another manufacturer's door closer?
The 281B is built as a Sargent door closer part within the 281 Series, so it is matched to Sargent closer hardware, not to another brand's body and arm. If you are mounting a closer from a different manufacturer under a low ceiling, use that manufacturer's own top jamb bracket or drop plate.
4) Is the 281B a complete door closer or just a bracket?
Just the plate. The 281B is an installation accessory, a mounting plate on its own. The closer body, arm, and fasteners are separate items and have to be ordered with it if you are doing a new install rather than adapting an existing closer.
5) Is the 281B plate suitable for commercial buildings or is it a residential part?
It's a commercial part. Sargent lists the 281B as commercial-grade, and it is specified in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential, and government buildings where top jamb closers go on doors with restricted head clearance. Facilities standardizing on Sargent closers can carry it as a stock install accessory.
