How to Select the Proper Door Closer

1. Size and Weight of Door
5300 Series closers are non-sized so that closing force can be adjusted in the field to accommodate various door sizes, weights, and applications.

2. Interior Application
Where possible, the standard regular arm application should be used as it is the most efficient in terms of power and control.

3. Exterior Application
Exterior doors require greater closing forces because of draft and wind conditions. Therefore, where possible, use an extra heavy duty arm for these applications.

4. Degree of Opening
The closer should permit the door to open far enough to allow for easy traffic flow. The selection of the proper arm and position on the door are very important.

5. Function
Closers can be equipped with special arms that can serve many functions such as hold open, positive stop, or hold open stop when necessary.

6. Abusive Environment
Closers can be equipped with extra heavy duty arms that can withstand vandalism and extreme use.
