How To Order

Notes:

• For heavy-duty parallel rigid arm applications, specify 2721 or 2721T, stop is removable.
• Before installing a door closer, verify the accessibility, fire, and life-safety requirements that are in effect. This includes the mounting height and projection into the clear opening. Check the adopted state and local building codes and consult the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
• To maintain the warranty and ensure proper operation of the product, follow the installation instructions & templates and install on the inside of the building.
• Consult NFPA 80 for the hinge requirements on a fire door.
• Failure to use fasteners supplied with closer may void factory warranty.
• Optional fasteners are available for a variety of applications. Consult the door and frame manufacturer to ensure the proper fasteners are used to maintain certifications.
• Sizing charts are based on 1-3/4" x 7' standard weight doors swinging to 110°. Other application conditions (i.e. larger door heights or weight) may require larger size closer. Adjusting the spring power to meet the low opening force requirements of the Americans With Disabilities Act or ANSI/BHMA Standard A117.1, may not provide adequate closing power to dependably close and latch the door in some conditions (i.e. air movement from wind gusts or building stack pressure).

Applications

Regular Arm Top Jamb Parallel Arm

Non-hold open arm shown, hold open application available.

• Pull side application; double lever arm
• Sufficient frame, door and/or ceiling clearance must be considered
• Due to arm projection, application may present an aesthetics issue or be prone to vandalism

Non-hold open arm shown, hold open application available.

• Push side application
• Sufficient frame face and/or ceiling clearance must be considered
• 2-1/4" (57mm) top rail on door is required
• Best door control for doors in exterior walls that swing out of building
• Consideration must be given to depth of reveal

Non-hold open arm shown, hold open application available.

• Push side application
• In the closed position, there is little or no hardware projection beyond the frame face
• Due to arm geometry, approximately 25% less power-efficient than regular arm application
• Closer and arm mounted below the frame stop

Holder/Stop Arm

• Holder/Stop arms incorporate a stop at the arm's soffit plate to dead stop the door at a predetermined degree of door swing between 85° and 110°, in 5° increments
• Prior to dead stop, backcheck slows the door speed to reduce the stop action
• Arm is intended for use where an auxiliary door stop cannot be used and low to moderate abuse is anticipated
• Stop is removable to allow for additional applications where auxiliary door stops are installed

2721T (hold open) shown 2721 (non-hold open, without stop) shown

• Holder/Stop Spring arms incorporate a buffer spring that provides greater protection at the end of the door opening cycle.
• Spring is removable

Accessories

BRACKETS FOR NON-HOLD OPEN ARMS & HOLD OPEN ARMS

Flush Rabbeted Transom - 293L Angle Bracket: For use where flush transom conditions prevent mounting of the standard soffit plate. This bracket is used in combination with the standard soffit plate. Not for use with heavy-duty arms.

CLOSER MOUNTING PLATES

Narrow Top Rail - 3148 Drop Plate: For use where a narrow top rail prevents the closer from being mounted directly to the door surface. This drop plate can be used to mount a closer on a top rail as narrow as 2-7/16" (62mm) in height.

Exposed Back/Narrow Top Rail - 3158 Molded Full Cover Drop Plate: For use on doors with glass lights where a closer with molded full cover is installed and the back of the closer is exposed. This covers the back of the installation and gives a pleasing appearance from the reverse side.
