!
The closing force for series YMDC2000 door closers is adjustable
from a size 1 to a size 6, as outlined in ANSI StandardA156.4.
When these series of door closers are installed and adjusted to
conform to ADA reduced opening force requirements (5 lbs max.) for
interior doors, they may not have adequate closing force to reliably
close and latch the door. Power adjustments charted on this page are
recommended where possible, to ensure proper door control.
By law the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) may
require that door closer
installation comply with
accessability guidelines.
