Wide Drop Plate Design

The wide configuration provides a broader mounting surface than a standard closer mounting arrangement.

This can be useful where:

• Door top-rail space is limited

• Existing closer holes interfere with installation

• Additional mounting coverage is desired

• A retrofit closer requires a different mounting pattern

• Storefront door construction limits direct closer mounting

• The selected parallel-arm configuration requires an alternate mounting position

Parallel Arm Application

Parallel-arm mounting is commonly used on the push side of commercial doors.

With this configuration, the closer arm remains relatively close to the door when closed, providing:

• Reduced arm projection

• Cleaner appearance

• Better protection from pedestrian traffic

• Excellent suitability for many exterior openings

• Flexible installation on commercial entrance doors

Designed for the Prime 65 Series

The Prime Door Controls 65 Series is a commercial Grade 1 closer platform designed for demanding door applications.

Compatible 65 Series closer configurations may include features such as:

• Adjustable spring power

• Adjustable sweep speed

• Adjustable latch speed

• Adjustable backcheck

• Full closer cover

• Surface-mounted installation

This Wide Parallel Arm Drop Plate provides additional mounting flexibility for compatible 65 Series applications.
