Before You Begin
ATTENTION:
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 misadjustment.
- For special applications, a separate door and frame preparation template is packed with these instructions. Use these instructions for installation sequence and closer adjustments only.
- 7500 Series closing force is adjustable from 1-6 as outlined in ANSI Standard A156.4. When closer is adjusted to conform to ADA reduced opening force requirements (5 lbs max.) for interior doors, it may not have adequate closing force to reliably close and latch door. Charted power adjustments in instructions are recommended where possible, to ensure proper door control.
- Doors should be hung on ball bearing or anti-friction hinges.
- A separate door stop 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.
- Dimensions are given in inches (millimeters).
