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.
Hinge-Pin Mount Door Closers
There's no need to mount a closer to your door or frame—these take the place of an existing hinge pin. These free-moving closers pull doors shut after you've opened them. They are reversible for right or left door-swing directions.
