IMPORTANT:
yAn improperly installed or incorrectly adjusted door closer may cause property damage and/or
personal injury; and will void product warranty.
yTo avoid personal injury, DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THIS DOOR CLOSER BODY.
yDoor closers must be securely fastened to a properly reinforced door and frame with fasteners
provided.
yDoor closers with the “A1” HOLD OPEN ARM option are not permitted to be installed in fire door
assemblies.
BEFORE INSTALLING:
yThe Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that doors having door closers have an
opening force not to exceed 5 lbf. 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.
yThe door closer’s power size adjustment feature may require adjustment to its lowest setting to
comply with ADA opening force guidelines.
yAn auxiliary door stop, by others, is strongly recommended to avoid damage to the door closer
and adjacent property.
yDoors should be hung on ball bearing or anti-friction hinges/pivots.
yDoor closer must not be installed on the exterior of a door in an exterior wall of a building.
yADA compliant closers are: DC8200, DC8210, DC8220.
