Norton 8146 Drop Plate

Norton 8146 Narrow Top Rail/Concealed Door Holder Drop Plate for 8000 Series Door Closer

Closer Mounting Plate Slim Line Installations

Narrow Top Rail: For use where the narrow top rail of the door prevents the closer from being mounted directly on to the door surface. This drop plate must be used for any Series 8000 closer mounted on a top rail between 1-9/16″ and 2-7/16″ (40 and 62mm) in height, or any Series 8080 closer mounted on a top rail between 1-7/16″ and 2-5/16″ (36 and 59mm) in height.

Concealed Door Holder: For use where a concealed door holder prevents normal mounting of the closer to the door. This is the same plate
used for narrow rail mounting, but is inverted for this application to permit the mounting screws to clear the bottom of the door-holder preparation in the top rail of the door. This places the centerline of the plate’s upper mounting screws at 2-3/16″ (56mm) from the top of the door.
