  • Read Front Page.
    Installations and component identification are on this page. Arm assembly must be correct for width of door, see chart.
    Select Correct Door and Frame Template Combination.
    Follow “Template Information” on Page 2 or Pages 2 and 3.

    Use dimensions for hold-open or door stop angle desired. Mark position of 4 holes on door for closer (or drop plate) and 6 holes on frame for soffit plate (or 4 for 589L angle bracket).

  • Prepare Holes for Fasteners.
    See chart on Page 2.

  • Set closer average power.
    For multi-size closers only, use “Power Setting-Multisize Closers” chart on page 4.
