Universal Door Closers

IMPORTANT:

• An improperly installed or incorrectly adjusted door closer may cause property damage or personal injury; and will void product warranty.
• To avoid personal injury, DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THIS DOOR CLOSER BODY.
• Door closers must be securely fastened to a properly reinforced door and frame with fasteners provided.
• Door closers with the "A1" HOLD OPEN ARM option are not permitted to be installed in fire door assemblies.

BEFORE INSTALLING:

• The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that doors having door closers have an opening force not to exceed 5 lbf. for interior doors, 8.5 lbf exterior doors. Use standard templating for regular arm and parallel arm applications. Jamb mounted applications use the template for 140° door opening to achieve the required opening force.
• The door closer's power size adjustment feature may require adjustment to its lowest setting to comply with ADA opening force guidelines.
• ADA compliant closers are: DC3200, DC3210, DC3220

Using hex wrench provided, turn closing speed and latching speed valves clockwise until completely closed. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Using wrench, turn under side of spindle 45° toward the closer tube until it reaches the diamond position (fig. 2). Immediately place arm on spindle so that it is parallel to the closer body. Install and tighten arm screw and washer assembly. Reopen valves.

7. Connect and Position Arms

Open door and slide arm rod into arm loop. Close door, swing arms so that they form a "V" position, as in Step 8. With 7/16" wrench, INSTALL AND TIGHTEN SCREW SECURELY .

HOLD OPEN ONLY

Remove main arm screw from elbow joint and disassemble arm. Thread the rod into the Arm Bracket as shown below. While door is closed, adjust the Threaded Arm in the Arm Bracket until the bearing fits back onto the elbow joint on the Main Arm and forms a "V" as shown below.

RE-INSTALL AND TIGHTEN SCREW SECURELY.

8. Power Adjustment

To increase the power of the closer, re-adjust the arm so it is nearer the door. To decrease power, re-adjust the arm so it is farther away from the door and then secure screw in arm loop (non-hold open) or elbow joint (hold open).

Lubricate Arm periodically at shaded points with a drop or two of appropriate lubricant.

NOTE: When lubricating a Hold Open Arm, DO NOT use any lubricant on the Holding Surface components.

• Adjust closer as necessary for door size using this chart.
• Readjustment may be required to suit prevailing conditions.

Closing Speed Valve (3/32 Allen Wrench Provided)

To adjust speed of door closing from fully open to a position 2" to 5" from closed, turn Closing Speed Valve CLOCKWISE to SLOW closing, COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to SPEED closing.

Latching Speed Valve (3/32 Allen Wrench Provided)

After closing speed has been obtained, turn latching speed valve CLOCKWISE to SLOW latching or COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to SPEED latching for last 2" to 5" of door travel.

NOTE: Set combination of CLOSING and LATCHING speeds to between 3 and 7 seconds Use of door by handicapped, elderly or small children may require even greater closing time.

Delayed Action Valve (3/32 Allen Wrench Provided)

Turn valve CLOCKWISE to SLOW closing, COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to SPEED closing. Delayed action may be adjusted from 20 seconds to 90 seconds, depending on degree of door swing. Delay occurs at the beginning of the door closing cycle from fully open down to 70°, where the closing speed valve then begins its control.

Backcheck Intensity Valve

Turn valve COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to reduce backcheck or CLOCKWISE to increase backcheck. (Backcheck should be set to give a soft cushioning action, not a sudden stop.)

Slip cover over closer. Hold tightly against closer mounting surface. Secure on each side with 6-32 x 1/4" PBHMS screws.

To Adjust Hold Open (A1 Option)

Open the door to desired position and tighten the hold open screw firmly (For RH application, turn screw on underside CLOCKWISE. For LH application, turn screw COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.) Place the hold open dial over the hex head of the bracket screw so that one of the slots in the dial is directly over small screw hole tapped in bracket. Seat the dial tightly over the bracket. INSERT DIAL SCREW AND TIGHTEN SECURELY.
