C7000 Series Door Closer Installation
Standard and Top-Jamb Installation
STANDARD INSTALLATION:
Regular arm application provides the best power efficiency. It is the only installation that installs on the
hinge (pull) side of the door. Regular arm applications require at least 1-3/4” from top of door to ceiling
so arm does not hit the ceiling and at least 2-1/2” behind door when door is opened to 90º, so closer
body will not damage the wall.

Top-jamb application is the best alternative to regular arm for power efficiency. It is installed on the
frame stop (push) side of the door. It is frequently used on doors with a narrow top rail, such as
exterior aluminum storefront doors. Top-jamb applications require the frame to be at least 1-3/4”
in height, or else a drop plate must be used (a drop plate provides a mounting surface for the door
closer).

C7000 Series Door Closer Installation
Parallel Arm Installation and Specifications
PARALLEL ARM INSTALLATION:
Parallel arm application is the least power efficient. It provides approximately 25% less power than
regular arm. It is installed on the frame stop (push) side of the door. Since it is parallel with the
door, it is chosen for appearances and is least susceptible to vandalism, making it a popular choice
in schools. Parallel arm applications require at least 4-1/2” from the top of the door to the bottom
mounting point of the door closer, or else a drop plate must be used.
