You will need a cordless screwdriver with a 4,2 mm metal drill and a cross slot
(Phillips) screwdriver (PH2) for installation.
You will also need a spirit level, measuring tape, pen and two no.10 fork
wrenches.
The following installation instructions show the most common mounting situation (type
1) for garden doors. For different situations, you may need a longer bracket or other
things. You can check http://gartentorschliesser.com for instructions on other mounting
types.
Using the following QR-Code, you can also watch a video https://youtu.be/9qt9OIPX2HI

Step 2: Check your distances and determine the position of the first bracket
First, you need to determine the distance between the garden door’s pivot point and the
pivot point of the garden door-closer and then the horizontale position. For that, you
already need the first (longer) bracket of the GTS 120/170.
Distance A and Distance B taken together should not exceed 155 mm, but should
not be much less. If the sum is >= 155 mm, the door can only be opened less than
90° at worst.
TIP: We therefore recommend positioning the long bracket, which is mounted at the
garden door’s pivot point, in such a fashion that the sum oft the two distances (A+B)
does not exceed 155mm to the outer hole of the bracket.
Step 3: Calibrating the bracket on it’s abutment face
Now the height of the bracket mounted on the garden door’s pivot point is determined.
To this end, position the spirit level in such a way that the second bracket can be
installed on the garden door without any problems while still being horizontal.
Mark the drill holes using a pen.

Step 4: Drill holes for the first bracket
Drill the holes using a cordless screwdriver with a 4,2 mm drill. The drill’s dimensions
are essential here! After drilling the holes, mount the bracket using the tapping screws.

Step 5: Calibrate distance between bracket holes
The second bracket has to be installed in such a way that the distance between the two
holes lies between 540 mm and 545 mm.Exact measurement is essential here!
Step 6: Mount the second bracket
After calibrating the distance as accurately as possible the second bracket’s two
mounting holes are marked, drilled using the 4,2 mm drill and fixed using the tapping
screws.

Step 7: Install the garden door-closer
The door-closer is pre-loaded out of the box for easier installation.
Therefore you need to open your garden door as far as you need to go to mount the
garden door-closer in the holes without any kind of force being necessary.

Step 8: Fix the garden door-closer
Finally, the garden door closer is fixed using the cap nuts.
During this procedure, the pre-loading security bolt loosens by itself in most cases.
Should the bolt remain in the garden door-closer, carefully move your garden door just a
few millimeteres in it’s opening direction.
You’ve done it. We hope you enjoy your new garden door-closer!
