How to select a door closer

1 How to select a door closer Concealed or surface mounted closers: Door closers are available in two styles - concealed or surface mounted. In choosing a closer style for a particular application, consideration should be given to the type of door being controlled, frame conditions, aesthetic requirements, and control features needed. Information contained in the following material can serve as a guide in selecting the style and model of closer to meet specific requirements. If concealed, where? Closers concealed in the head frame over the door are out of sight and entirely out of the pedestrians way. They cannot be harmed by scrub water, cleaning chemicals or floor dirt, and are protected from airborne contaminant's, like dust. They are easy to reach for regulation without removing any parts. Closers for frame sections as thin as 1 3 /4" (44mm) are available. Closers located within the door itself are also hidden and protected. On interior doors of common sizes they do an excellent job, yet they cost little more than surface applied closers. CONCEALED IN FRAME CONCEALED IN DOOR Surface mounted closers - location? Closer location is subject to the considerations of practicality and appearance. Good taste usually decrees that closers on doors along a corridor be located on the room side of the door so they are out of the line of sight from the corridor. Closers should be placed on the inside of exterior doors for appearance and to shelter them from the elements. HINGE (PULL) SIDE MOUNT CONCEALED IN 1 3 /4" TUBE TOP JAMB (PUSH SIDE) MOUNT Where are heavy duty closers required? Heavy duty closers should always be used in these places: Schools or public buildings where hard usage is expected. Exterior doors. Doors subject to draft, wind, or air pressure differential. High frequency doors such as those on department stores, malls, or mixed use tenancies. Hand of a door? Some door closers are handed. When approaching a door from the push side, if hinged on the left, it is a left hand door; if hinged on the right, it is a right hand door. For purposes of handing door closers, right hand reverse bevel and left hand are identical. Also, left hand reverse bevel and right hand are identical. The hand of the closer is the same as the hand of the door for all except corner bracket installations that require a closer handed opposite the hand of the door. Which arm system? Double lever arm closers can provide control under difficult conditions for either interior or exterior doors. A parallel arm system is a type of double lever arm where the main arm is parallel to the face of the closed door. Functions available in double lever arm systems are: REGULAR (REG) HOLD-OPEN (H) FUSIBLE LINK (FL) CUSH-N-STOP (CUSH) HOLD-OPEN CUSH-N-STOP (HCUSH) PARALLEL ARM (PUSH SIDE) MOUNT EXTRA DUTY (EDA) HOLD-OPEN EXTRA DUTY (HEDA) SPRING CUSH (SCUSH) SPRING HOLD-OPEN CUSH (SHCUSH) 179
