Imperial USA IMPDP-4300-18DU – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a drop plate on a door closer for, and do I need one?
A drop plate gives the closer body a mounting surface when the door face doesn't offer enough room to land the shoe or the closer directly. The Imperial USA DP-4300-18 is the pull side drop plate for TC4300 Series closers, so it comes into play when you're mounting the closer on the pull side of the door and the top rail or existing prep won't take the closer as-is. If your opening already has adequate flat mounting area on the pull side, you don't need it.
2) Do I have to order a left hand or right hand drop plate for the TC4300 closer?
Handing isn't a factor. The TC4300 drop plate is non-handed and reversible, so one part covers left hand and right hand pull side openings. You only need to pick the finish.
3) Can I use this plate for a push side or parallel arm closer installation?
No. This is a pull side plate, both in mounting and in plate type. Parallel arm and push side installs on the TC4300 use different bracketry, so specify the plate that matches the mounting side you're actually working on.
4) What finishes does the TC4300 drop plate come in, and will it match my existing closers?
Two finishes: AL aluminum and DU duranodic. Those are the standard pairing for aluminum storefront and commercial hollow metal work, so if your building's closers are already aluminum-finish, take AL; darker bronze-tone openings take DU. For a property manager standardizing across a fleet of doors, pick the one already on the other openings and keep it consistent.
5) Is this drop plate steel or aluminum?
Steel. The DP-4300-18 is a steel plate with an applied finish, not extruded aluminum, which is why it holds up to the fastener loading a closer puts on a mounting plate.
6) Is this drop plate rated for commercial door traffic or is it a residential part?
It's a commercial part. The TC4300 drop plate is catalogued for commercial door control use, which is the environment the TC4300 closer itself is built for, so it suits office, retail, multi-family common area and institutional openings.
