Interior Door Closer Installation Instructions?

This video by Tell Manufacturing demonstrates how to install a concealed door closer, ensuring your door automatically closes itself. Door closers are easy to install, requiring preparation, marking holes, drilling screws, and testing. They enhance safety, energy efficiency, and convenience, and can be used to meet building codes or improve home functionality. Before ordering a door closer, it is important to know the interior or exterior door, left-hand or right-hand swing, door closer mounting, door width, pivot hinges or butt, and the standard arm installation.

The installation process involves using the provided template to determine the door’s position, marking four holes on the door for the door closer and two holes on the frame for the arm shoe. Drill pilot holes in the door and frame, and then install the door closer body. The closer is then hanged in the air using the axis of the closer, which is fixed with a nut and tightened with a wrench.

Installation on storefront doors involves drilling mounting holes, mounting the door closer body and arm, and making adjustments to the door closer. For concealed door closers, refer to the article. The closer body is mounted to the top jamb and secured with the supplied 6mm screws.
