SAFETY

CAUTION! An incorrectly installed or improperly adjusted door closer can cause property damage or personal injury. These installation instructions should be followed to avoid the possibility of misapplication or improper adjustment.

• Doors should be hung on ball bearing or anti-friction hinges.
  • A separate doorstop is recommended.

• Always consult door/frame manufacturer for fastener compatibility.
• Door and frame must be properly reinforced.
- Adjust closing time speed between 3 and 7 seconds from 90^ to 0^ .
• These door closers should not be installed on exposed side (weather side) of exterior doors.

IMPORTANT! By law, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) may require that door closer installation comply with accessibility guidelines.

The closing force is adjustable from a size 1 to size 4 as outlined in ANSI Standard A156.4. When these series of door closers are installed and adjusted to conform to ADA reduced opening force requirements (5 lbs. max.) for interior doors, they may not have adequate closing force to reliably close and latch door. Power adjustments charted on this page are recommended where possible, to ensure proper door control.
