How To Determine Hand of Door

Face a door swinging open away from you. If it opens to the right, it is right hand. If it opens to the left, it is left hand.

IMPORTANT:

Use plumb line to be sure that hinge pins are in perfect alignment.

Installation Instructions

1. Locating Closer

  • A. Measure from the door stop 1/2 the thickness of door to determine centerline of door.
  • B. To determine centerline of closer measure back towards the stop side 3/8" from centerline of door.
  • C. Dim "A" is the distance from the door jamb to the centerline of closer spindle. Degree of opening (90° or 95° only) and type of butts or hinges determines correct dim "A". (see tables on reverse side). From door jamb measure dim "A".
  • D. Where the dim"A" an 3/8" measurements intersect indicates the centerline of closer spindle. d

2. Install Cement Case in Floor

  • A. For floor plate application: Cement case is set 1/8" (3.2mm) below floor level.
  • B. For 1/2" high threshold application only: Cement case is set flush with floor. (Longer spindle must be used)
  • C. Set cement case in floor and block in position. LOCATE CLOSER SPINDLE USING DIM "A".
  • D. Case should be parallel with center line of door.
  • E. CEMENT CASE SHOULD BE LEVEL. Place levels per Illustration.
  • F. Grout in cement case with closer. Cement should not get between closer and case.

3. Hang Door

  • A. Mortise door and jamb for butts or hinges per template.
  • B. Install rail in door per template (rail must extend to hinge edge of door so arm block may be placed in rail after door is hung.)
  • C. Secure rail in place and hang door on its hinges. Use a plumb line to assure that door is in vertical alignment.

4. Attach Arm

  • A. Close latch and stroke valves (Turn Clockwise).
  • B. Slide arm block into rail through heel edge of door.
  • C. With door almost closed slide arm onto spindle thru notch in end of arm. (Rock door back and forth to seat arm on spindle.)
  • D. Secure arm to spindle with screw furnished. THE ARM SCREW MUST BE FASTENED SECURELY. (Tighten screw by rocking door back and forth.)
