About Door Closers
When replacing an existing closer, remove the cover and match the model number and/or mounting hole pattern to a closer in our offering. Or, use one of our closers and a universal mounting plate that matches most hole patterns.
If you are installing a new closer, choose one that works for your door width. Due to added resistance from wind, closers typically accommodate smaller exterior doors than interior doors.
There are three typical mounting positions for door closers; many of our closers are versatile and can be mounted in any of these positions. To determine opening direction, stand on the side of the door where the closer will be mounted. If the door opens towards you it opens in; opens away from you it opens out.
Door Mount, Opens In—Also known as regular arm mount, this position allows the door to open in toward the closer.
Door Mount, Opens Out—Also known as parallel arm mount, the arm lays parallel with the door in the closed position.
Frame Mount, Opens Out—Also known as top frame mount, this position is often used for exterior doors.
Fire Alarm-Activated Door Closers
These closers include a door holder, which keeps doors open with an electromagnet. When activated by a fire alarm, the magnet shuts off and releases the door. Hardwire these closers directly into your fire alarm system. Designed for frequently used doors, they last longer than standard door closers. They are reversible for right or left door-swing directions. All meet ANSI/BHMA A156.15 durability, strength, and performance standards for release devices—closer holder, electromagnetic, and electromechanical. For opens-out closers, the frame cannot project more than 3 1/2" from the door's face.
