Before You Begin 

•  For special applications, a separate door and frame preparation 

template is packed with these instructions. Use these instructions 

for installation sequence and closer adjustments only. 

•  7500 Series closing force is adjustable from 1-6 as outlined in 

ANSI Standard A156.4. When closer is adjusted to conform to 

ADA reduced opening force requirements (5 lbs max.) for interior 

doors, it  may not have adequate closing force to reliably close 

and latch door. Charted power adjustments in instructions are 

recommended where possible, to ensure proper door control.
