2. ARM & CLOSER BODY INSTALLATION

Before mounting closers, make sure selector valve (found on back of closer) is screwed in.

Screw body to the door using (4) 1/4-20 x 3" screws. The tube end of the closer must face the lock stile of door.
Screw arm bracket to the frame soffit using (5) 1/4-20 x 1 1/2" screws. Do not tighten screws all the way to make mounting the arm to the closer easier.

The fifth hole spacer shown above can be used when a narrow soffit prevents normal mounting. Drill/tap a 1/4-20 hole in the frame rabbet. Place the spacer between the bracket and frame and tighten using a 1/4-20 x 2" screw.

CLOSER BODY INSTALLATION (OPT DROP PLATE)

If using a drop plate, screw the drop plate to the door using 1/4-20 screws. Screw closer to the drop plate using 7/16" long machine screws.
