What You’ll Need
Before you start the installation process, you’ll need to gather a few tools. You’ll need a drill with the appropriate drill bits, a screwdriver set (both flat – head and Phillips), a level, a tape measure, a pencil, and of course, the double – action door closer kit that you’ve purchased from us.
Step One: Check the Door and Frame
First things first, take a good look at your door and the door frame. Make sure they’re in good condition. Any warping or damage could affect how well the door closer works. Measure the door to make sure it’s the right size for the double – action door closer you’ve chosen. Our door closers are designed to fit a wide range of door sizes, but it’s always a good idea to double – check.
Step Two: Position the Door Closer
Now, it’s time to figure out where to put the door closer. You’ll usually mount the door closer on the top of the door and the frame. Use your tape measure and pencil to mark the spots. The closer should be positioned so that it has enough room to work properly without hitting any other parts of the door or frame. A good rule of thumb is to place the closer as close to the hinge side of the door as you can.
Step Three: Drill the Holes
Once you’ve marked the spots, it’s time to drill the holes for the door closer. Use the right drill bit size as recommended in the installation guide that comes with your door closer. Be really careful while drilling, and make sure the holes are straight. You can use a level to help you with this. If the holes aren’t straight, it could cause the door closer to work poorly or even break.
Step Four: Attach the Door Closer to the Door
After you’ve drilled the holes, take the door closer and attach it to the door. Use the screws provided in the kit. Tighten the screws firmly, but don’t over – tighten them. Over – tightening can strip the threads in the holes or damage the door closer.
Step Five: Attach the Door Closer to the Frame
Next, attach the other part of the door closer to the door frame. Line it up with the part on the door and use the screws to secure it. Again, make sure the screws are tightened just right. You want the door closer to be firmly attached but still be able to move smoothly.
Step Six: Adjust the Door Closer
Once the door closer is attached, it’s time to make some adjustments. Most double – action door closers have adjustment screws that allow you to control how fast the door closes and how hard it hits the frame. Start by turning the adjustment screws a little bit at a time and test the door. You want the door to close smoothly and quietly. If the door closes too fast or too hard, turn the appropriate screw to slow it down. If it closes too slowly, turn the screw the other way to speed it up.
Step Seven: Test the Door
Now that you’ve made the adjustments, it’s time to test the door. Open and close the door a few times to make sure the door closer is working properly. Check for any strange noises or if the door doesn’t close all the way. If you notice any problems, go back and make some more adjustments.
Troubleshooting
Sometimes, things don’t go as smoothly as planned. If you find that the door closer is making a lot of noise, it could be because the parts are not properly lubricated. You can use a silicone – based lubricant to fix this. Just apply a little bit of lubricant to the moving parts of the door closer and test the door again.
If the door doesn’t close all the way, it could be because the door closer is not properly aligned. Check the alignment of the door closer on the door and the frame. You might need to loosen the screws and re – position it.
