Lockwood 3024 Series Door Closer Drop Plate - Silver
The Lockwood 3024 Series Drop Plate is designed to enable parallel arm mounting of Lockwood 3024 series door closers where standard fixing positions are not suitable. It provides a stable mounting surface on the door frame or soffit, allowing correct closer geometry and reliable operation.
