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.
This drop plate is commonly used in commercial and architectural door installations where frame conditions, reveals, or structural constraints prevent direct closer mounting. It is particularly useful for retrofit applications and fire-rated door assemblies requiring compliant closer positioning.
