An improperly installed or incorrectly adjusted door closer may cause property
damage or personal injury; and will void product warranty.
To avoid personal injury, DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THIS DOOR CLOSER BODY.
Door closers must be securely fastened to a properly reinforced door and frame
with fasteners provided.
Door closers with the “A1” HOLD OPEN ARM option are not permitted to be
installed in fire door assemblies.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that doors having door closers
have an opening force not to exceed 5 lbf. for interior doors, 8.5 lbf exterior doors.
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
lowest setting to comply with ADA opening force guidelines.
ADA compliant closers are: DC3200, DC3210, DC3220
