USING MORTISE NUTS WITH SARGENT DOOR CLOSER

• 1. SEE INSTRUCTIONS OR DATA SHEET PACKED WITH DOOR CLOSER FOR DIMENSIONS LOCATING THE CLOSER BODY AND FOOT ON DOOR AND FRAME.
• 2. MORTISE NUT SHOWN IS DESIGNED FOR AN UNREINFORCED METAL DOOR.
• 3. FOR TOP JAMB AND CORNER BRACKET APPLICATIONS: THE DOOR CLOSER FOOT WILL BE ATTACHED TO THE DOOR IN A MANNER SIMILAR TO THAT SHOWN FOR MOUNTING THE CLOSER BODY.
• 4. FOR DOORS 2 1/4" THICK: MORTISE NUT SHOWN FOR 1 3/4" THICK DOORS WILL BE FURNISHED ALONG WITH APPROPRIATE LENGTH THRU-BOLTS. DOOR CONSTRUCTION MUST PROVIDE A BRIDGE TYPE REINFORCEMENT TO PREVENT THE DOOR RAIL FROM COLLAPSING WHEN THRU-BOLTS ARE TIGHTENED.
