BEFORE INSTALLING

• The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that doors having door closers have an opening force not to exceed 5 lbf. for interior doors, 8.5 lbf exterior doors.Use standard templating for regular arm and parallel arm applications. Jamb mounted applications use the template for 140° door opening to achieve the required opening force.
• The door closer’s power size adjustment feature may require adjustment to its lowest setting to comply with ADA opening force guideline.
• ADA compliant closers are: DC3200, DC3210, DC3220
