Common situations
Show the arm’s path and surrounding trim or walls. The door must have the clearances required by the selected arrangement. Moving the arm to avoid an obstruction without following the maker’s instructions can create a different problem rather than a suitable fit.
A closer needs to suit the door it controls. Provide leaf dimensions and product weight where available. An oversized or undersized unit should not be compensated for with extreme adjustment, and unsupported heavy doors need a different handling assessment.
Visible leakage or physical damage may make replacement more suitable than adjustment. Show the condition and model before buying parts. The ordinary service does not rebuild sealed hydraulic mechanisms or promise that a damaged closer can be restored by changing settings.
Planning the work
