The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that doors having door closers
Ÿ
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.
The door closer's power size adjustment feature may require adjustment to its
Ÿ
lowest setting to comply with ADA opening force guidelines.
An auxiliary door stop, by others, is strongly recommended to avoid damage to the
Ÿ
door closer and adjacent property.
Doors should be hung on ball bearing or anti-friction hinges/pivots.
Ÿ
Door closer must not be installed on the exterior of a door in an exterior wall of a
Ÿ
building.
ADA compliant closers
Ÿ
An improperly installed or incorrectly adjusted door closer may cause property
Ÿ
damage or personal injury; and will void product warranty.
To avoid personal injury, DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THIS DOOR CLOSER BODY.
Ÿ
Door closers must be securely fastened to a properly reinforced door and frame
Ÿ
with fasteners provided.
Door closers with the HOLD OPEN ARM option are not permitted to be
Ÿ
installed in fire door assemblies.

A separate door stop, supplied by others, is recommended to prevent damage to the door closer, closer arm;
•
or to the door, frame or adjacent walls.
Door and Frame must be properly reinforced, or use of special fasteners employed, to prevent the mounting
•
screws from pulling out.
All dimensions are given in inches with corresponding metric dimensions (millimeters) in parentheses.
